Ryan Lanza Says,"You Have No Right To Call My Brother Names When He Isn’t Here"

[DapperDon]

157. Ryan is very much a victim.

He did lose a mother and brother. I can't imagine the pain he feels. He not only lost a mother and brother, but he has to live with the fact that his brother killed so many innocent people. Children. Tiny defenseless children.

He is wrong that we can't call him names, though. I feel sorrow that his brother ever felt that it was an option to go to an elementary and shoot up tiny defenseless children. But I will deal with it on my own terms. If that means calling the killer a sorry piece of shit, then so be it. It is what it is.

I have lost a sibling, so I have a clue what that is like. I don't have a clue what it is like to lose a sibling in this manner. It can't be easy, and it has to hurt to hear such terrible things about your sibling. Still, people have to deal with it in whatever terms they can. Death of a small child is always the worst, IMO, and when you can focus your blame on someone or something, then it is human nature to do so. Fact is his brother went to a school and shot a bunch of kids and some other people. Was he mentally ill? No doubt. Does that change the hurt people feel? Does that make it somehow easier to focus the blame on an illness rather than him? No. No. and No.
