I know I mentioned this senseless attack earlier today, but something about reading the list of the victims' names just made me unutterably sad. It's probably silly and a little selfish. I didn't know anyone there. I've no connection to anyone who knows anyone who was there. But it's tragic on a level that is beyond comprehension. What kind of depraved society do we live in? A man just walks into a crowded theatre and shoots men, women, and children alike? No pity, no mercy, no depth of feeling. It's sick. It makes you understand the point of speedy justice (quick, tidy public execution). And what's up with all this "alleged shooter" crap? Alleged is one of the most overused words in the English language. The man did it. Everyone knows he did it. People saw him do it. Why is he an alleged shooter? It's sheer idiocy.
But what's more important right now is to support the victims' families in thought and in prayer. There will be a time for dealing with Mr. Holmes later.
totally agree.
