So...today is wrought with continuing news and coverage of the latest school shooting in Pennsylvania. Again I ask, how the hell are we, as humans, supposed to expect to live beyond 45 years of age? Even in the smaller towns there is murder and mayhem. I spent some time growing up in a small town, so small that I still don't lock doors when I am there. So small, in fact, they only have 3 police officers for a town of 2800 people! No stoplight, not since the big storm took the light out back in 1992. The middle school and high school are in the same building, and EVERYONE knows everyone in town. Anyone have a town like that? Where there are more churches than congregation?
So, my concern is this...when are the pointless killings going to stop? Are they ever going to find a way to keep our children safe in our schools? My 6 year old goes to a small school too, so my concern is also for his well being. Heck, the school in PA is as rural as it gets. A 1 room school in the middle of an Amish community, on a back country road, away from city living, "should" be safer than city public schools. Hell, in the city, the metal detectors still don't catch everything or everyone.
In my school days, I am still young too, but, my days in high school were relatively easy. We didn't worry about all the killings, since we were relatively small enough. The worst I think I dealt with was a bomb threat in school one day. In my Department of Defense schoolin, that was a different story. We had regular lock downs almost daily. Mostly because of being over seas. Still, if I had to deal with the worry that kids and parents do now, over large or rural schools being shot up all the time, I would never make it past 34.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims. May they feel love and peace even in these trying times.
To those that think you can kill or maime and get away scott free, think again. I'm here to tell you people, karma is real and if you don't believe in Karma, then call it what you will. Be sure that your sins shall find you out, there is no way you can commit such horrendous acts without being found and brought to justice. Either your conscious mind will not allow you to rest until being dealt with, or you will go the way of so many other killers, death. Either way, justice will be served.
That's all for now.
