So terrible - just what will it take for this senseless violence to end? My heart breaks for all the families involved in these two tragedies

I had a meeting at Grandson's school on Thursday. Rang the outside bell at reception and found the door was open anyway. Reception is like a hotel foyer so I just walked in, hovered a bit, nobody at well staffed reception asked me who I was so I sat down and read some pamphlets. They don't know me and a thought went through my mind that I could have been anybody just walking in with bad intentions. Very weak security and then this terrible massacre happens in America. Thoughts with all those sad people suffering such terrible losses.

It brings tears to my eyes when I hear of events like this.

My prayers are for the families who have lost their loved-ones.

Why on earth does anyone come to do such a terrible thing to innocent children ?

This Piers Morgan video is well worth a look in. You can feel for his frustration in asking why their answer to gun crimes is to say they need more guns. They are talking about issuing every teacher with a gun in their classrooms to protect the children. When will they ever learn.

We truly are living in a mad mad world.. Computers saturated in violence for those who are interested, porn to corrupt the young.. News of the loss of life misery and the wars being fought every time we turn on the TV.. We ask where will it all end, in learning of this tragic massacre we have one answer.. also tragic for the family of this maniac... tragic for all beyond belief.
