Rest in peace: all of the people who were killed by this horrid man... Why? Why would someone do such a thing? Killing his own mother wasn't enough for him?? Then he took his own life?... I am very sad today. And he didn't just kill children, but teachers too... I will remember this tragic event for the rest of my life... and i i only hope all those beautiful children went to heaven and are happy playing and giggling in forever happiness. I'm not... quite able to wrap my head around this.Why would they do something like this? Colleges, still awful, but sure; I could picture that. High school, ditto. Middle school... well not really. But Elementary? Those kids had the best times of their life ahead of them! And such potential! This just fills me with rage! This is wrong. From victum Olivia, who wanted to come home that fateful day to make a gingerbread house to one of the teachers, who's boyfriend planned to propose to her on christmas eve, to the sub who just wanted to see The Hobbit. I wonder what the murders family is thinking now. Those poor relatives. But oh the losses, a great blow to the future. And the teachers, oh dear god the teachers. They were brave. They were so, so brave. The things they did, shielding their children in a closet, holding the children as the little boys and girl died. They even protected the students even in those childrens death. Some of them were young too, twenty, thirty. Still too young to die. I've wanted to be an elementary school teacher since fourth grade. I'd like to think I'd do the same thing. But really, how on earth am I supposed to know?! That terror! I can't stimulate a fight or flight reaction on a scale of that. My possible cowardance terrifies me, but I still want to be amongst them. Today, 12/30/2012 and I have some big, big shoes to fill.
