    This kills a part of people inside. I know it does me. First my prayers for EVERYONE affected.I have seen many things that will make hard men sob. This is the worst. I litteraly cry over this.

    There is no way to know what the reason the guy had in his head. Or what made him do it. I have lost a couple really good jobs in my life. I never ever even thought of killing anyone over it. I have gotten angry at both my parents they both passed of natural causes.

    Please forgive my rambles. But Theres not really a way to describe things such as this except horrible. I remember when I was a kid we didnt lock our doors and people didnt worry like nowa days. The world has changed so drastically

    Everytime I hear about one of these incidents, the 10 year old girl on Co., the two cousins in Iowa, etc. it kills me a little bit inside. I have a 3 year old and I cant imagine the fear these little ones must have felt just wanting to be with their mommy and daddy. I gain solace in my belief that each one has its own angel that is now with them and they are no longer afraid. Very sad.

    The worst part is: there is nothing that can be done.
    Just like with every crime committed by Idiots looking to make the news, People feel the need to blame somebody/ something. Guns, Violent games, tv. Or "we should have seen the signs."
    But, just like all idiotic crimes like this, we try to make an attempt at changing something. Things like this wont change, no matter how much we change, and no matter how much money we dump into 'making people feel safe' from idiots. Idiots will be Idiots.

    Edit: didn't want to come off as not caring about the situation. I feel for the family's, I have a 6 year old son, an my wife was afriad to let him go to school. No one should ever be afraid to send their kids to school. I'm just being real, and realize our country doesn't have the money to psycho proof all the schools is all.

    From another forum:

    Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38
    when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's gate.
    Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air.
    They could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
    They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say.
    They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
    "Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
    "This is heaven." declared a small boy. "We're spending Christmas at God's house."
    When what to their wondering eyes did appear,
    but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
    He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same.
    Then He opened His arms and He called them by name,
    and in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring.
    Those children all flew into the arms of their King
    and as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
    one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face;
    and as if He could read all the questions she had
    He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
    Then He looked down on earth, the world far below
    He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe
    then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand,
    "Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
    "May this country be delivered from the hands of fools"
    "I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!"
    Then He and the children stood up without a sound.
    "Come now my children, let me show you around."
    Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran.
    All displaying enthusiasm that only a small child can.
    And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight,
    "In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT."
