Some really fucked up people in this thread and on these boards. I hope some of you are trolling but I doubt it.. You are fucked in the head if you dont think this is a tragedy and you are fucked in the head if you think people dont care about children dying anywhere. You are also fucked in the head if you cant see why this is different than children dying to hunger or being killed by an air strike in combat.. These children were targeted by some guy who had issues none of us can understand and targeted 5-10 year olds in a shooting spree.
The fact that civilian loss occurs in war or the fact that there are children dying due to disease/hunger in africa isnt any easier to read about and definately makes people sad. They are still things that we can understand and cope with why they happened. This attack doesnt make any sense and it has messed up a lot of people, myself included. I work 3 mins from this school and had to go into work today and had to deal with the fact that some of the people I work with and care about will never be able to hug their children or give them another christmas and they will never know why their child was taken from them.. Knowing how and why something happened helps with coping and dealing with loss. It doesnt make it less shitty but you know why it happened which is huge in the grieving process..
On behalf of the normal people in America who can understand why this is tragic (hint: its not because the media says it is) go fuck yourselves...
