Vigil...for the living and the dead [View all]

[nadinbrzezinski]

I went to a vigil tonight. I even had permission to do the story. I know a crisis intervention when I see one. No need to write a story.

I will leave you with this...there is real pain out of this...how senseless and heartless.

I got a message for the 2 Amendment absolutists among us. Methinks the cup is now full and now has runneth over. People are angry and in pain.

It is not just about the kids, even if the names of the dead tug at my heart just a little. Ten years of EMS and a few horrific scenes left me with zero belief in any god, actually envious tonight for people who still hold to that, but it is about us.

I will paraphrase... When you cannot walk into a mall, a school or a house of worship, we have a problem. A serious problem.

Anyhow, if you pray, offer a prayer for each of these names, that their families will somehow find piece.
