All of this violence is too hard to take. I wish I had some words of wisdom or answers or even knew the right words to offer any comfort at all. There really is nothing that anyone can say or do that can bring the victims of this hatred back to life or back to their families. They were minding their own business. The murderer spent an hour in the church with them before he started killing them. An hour. He had an hour to think it through and realize what he was about to do was disgusting.
I really wish I could come up with any words of wisdom at all, but I cannot. People who are not consumed by hatred like that cannot wrap our heads around how the ones who are can be so heartless. I used to try to understand to see if I could get people to not think like that, but none of my efforts worked. I finally learned that people who are consumed with that kind of hatred and bigotry are poisoned. I never could find the antidote. So, all I can do is try not to be like them.
All I have to offer is 
It is pitiful and not enough. I know, but if I feel compassion, I don't know what to do. I'm one of those people who has a lot of trouble trying to comfort someone when they are in such pain and I feel for them.
