Today's Daily News cover for 3rd anniversary of Newtown CT shooting

20. I also remember your posting here on that horrible day,

while it was still happening and before you knew for certain what had happened with your colleague's child. I remember we were all desperately praying and hoping that the worst had not happened to the child, and the horror and shock when you came back to post that the worst, had, indeed, happened. The pain and grief of your colleague and all the parents must be more than they can bear at times; I don't even know how they're managing it.

It has to be made worse by the goddamn "truthers" who insist that it's all made up and they never suffered such losses (the one who calls up the parents screaming at them that they're liars and hoaxers really makes me wish I weren't an anti-violence pacifist), and by the continued complete lack of action and caring by a society and culture that has deemed the right to own any kind of gun, of any number and anywhere for any reason to be far more important than human lives, particularly those of young children. I will NEVER understand it, I just won't. Gun humpers, don't even bother right now.
