Good. One less useless piece of trash to deal with.
Oh good. You sound very certain you know specifically what happened. Very sure of yourself calling a dead man trash. Why did someone that worked with kids and young adults snap like this? Was it sudden or had you been expecting it?
shrugs. I'll show myself out.
If you’re going to glorify in someone’s death, you should probably be able to stand up and defend that choice.
What I said was not glorifying his death. You are totally misinterpreting what I meant. I am simply sick and tired of seeing this pattern repeated year after year. Said pattern being dude gets a gun,goes on a rampage,or does something really horrific to another person and posts it for the world to see. People are killed,raped or maimed and the dude kills himself before he can be caught, rinse and repeat. And look,it happened again (see above)..This time said shooter is caught. Yet by this time next year,this same sad event will play itself out again and again and again. Different guys,same grizzly outcome. I'm totally baffled as to what they think this is going to accomplish...
Maybe so. Daresay not what you said, though:
For some reason I had a feeling this was gonna happen.
It certainly would have been helpful to have known why this happened. Having said that, if it had been my grandfather, I doubt I would be very understanding.
You don't have to be related to someone to recognize the sorrow in their violent death, whoever they are. You don't have to know people who've died in inexplicable breakdowns to work out that not every assailant was ‘trash.’ And, somehow, I don't see you exulting in everyday mayhem on the street because those people were ‘useless.’
I saw the video. The detachment from the act by the shooter was telling. I did not hear or perceive some fixed up gang banger, or a belligerent drunk or some walk by knock out gamer (those people are trash to me). Something was tragically wrong, and something terrible on a real gut wrenching level happened to an innocent old man.
If any journalist takes this on, a different story may emerge from just some simple posting of a face book sensationalist.
Just to be clear though on my all too frail emotional human condition, there are, to me, real disgusting people out there, like the sickos that kidnapped and tourtured the mentally disabled kid several months back. If they got several beatdowns while in jail, I'd give it a great big thumbs up.
