This Tragedy Has Hit Me So Hard
I can't watch too much at a time and my mind can't go there either I have 4 kids in public school maybe that is part of it or maybe it's because some monster took 20 babies out because he had access to weapons to do that and I can't wrap my mind around someone killing children. or maybe it's because I am so fucking sick of innocent blood being spilled because of someone's right to bear arms. What about others right to life the same sick fucks who say they are prolife are the loudest about gun rights. What about an entire Nation's right not to be traumatized on a weekly basis because of these bloody massacres The gun nuts are terrorizing our Nation and a whole generation of children Fuck Guns I despise them

Sick of people claiming to be right-to-life when they have no respect for life. Sick of them crying about their rights when they have no concern for others.
Here's a hug for you 
What happened was truly hideous.
Many, especially parents with children in school, are hurting and frightened.
Let's hope the coming days show a new and powerful resolve to ban these weapons of mass killing in our county.
I hope the coming days bring peace and healing to all of us
I taught elementary school for nine years.....I see all of their faces even though it's been 30 years ago 
.
This is really hitting home.
Talk about mixed messages... 
I have kids in school, and while I'm in Canada, I've participated in message boards for parents since my oldest was born (she's 15, my youngest is 5, I have 4 kids total) and have many friends all over the US who have 6&7 year olds. I can't let my mind go there too much either. I had the hardest time saying bye to my 2 littlest ones this morning as they got on the bus. I wanted to gather them up and bring them back home to snuggle in bed all day. My kids are the absolute lights of my life, and I can't imagine being in that nightmare where you can't wake up.
I've been crying off and on for the last few days...feeling hopeless and powerless and angry this had to happen...fuck guns for creating this nightmare. Gun owners are terrorizing your country - what good is this brand of freedom if the NRA controls everyone's lives? How is that freedom? How is it 'freedom' to post armed guards at the entrance of a public school where kids are exercising their right to an education. What about their right to live through that education? By the way, the armed guard thing has to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard (well, except for the teachers should be armed 
) as my mom said, "then they'll just shoot the guard first." My family got together last night, all of them are staunch conservatives except for me, and all of them think Americans are fucking loony toons for their love of guns. My SIL, a cop, and someone who has a handgun permit thinks your laws are insane.
ugh. Those poor babies - I can't stop thinking about them.
I have no words. None.
I read some of their obituaries in their local paper...and some of the stories posted there. The girl who played dead and was the only survivor of that room--covered in the blood of her friends...The boy who died in the arms of his teacher...One of the kids has a surviving twin sister...on and on. So many stories, so many lives cut short. We will never make sense of this.
Just can't understand this at all much less 11 times.
