It would be remiss if we were not to weigh in on the terrible tragedy that happened this past week. Much of course has been written, and will continue to be. about what should happen to protect these oh so precious few from the harm of a mad man.
While there are those that propose an eye for an eye approach, guns facing guns in the classroom, and those that propose that government is the answer to all our woes. I would suggest that its not governments job to protect everyone from harm in these kinds of cases, nor do I feel arming untrained people with guns would be the most sensible approach. It's not their job to learn about firearms, but to teach of its brutality.
What's wrong with this country that this should happen? Well for starters it began when the government started to take away from parents something all children needs every once in a while when behavior and morals are involved and its no one else's responsibility to interfere. A good old fashioned spanking. And no, I'm not talking about the insanity of allowing such to be used as abuse or an excuse to do so. There's a difference, one is merely used to correct, while the others effects are clearly to be observed from the casual contact I speak to the most brutal of attacks, where whomever does so should be locked up and the key thrown away. Its always been the parental obligation to make sure their child grows up with morals and appropriate behavior, and when that doesn't happen, and a adolescent goes astray from the law, then the law takes over and the parent has no choice in the matter.
The real tragedy is not being able to punish the culprit for what he did. And here's where I think it would be a greater deterrence for government to aid in preventing more of this, and that would be to sanction torture, unrelenting torture to anyone who has or attempted such a crime upon a child. If such a law were passed, it might tell those who would be captured, your life wont waste away until we put you to death by humane deeds, we'll put the screws to you where they belong, we'll do the unspeakable acts and we'll keep doing them until the very day they electrocute you slowly to death.
I feel for the families of those children lost, especially at this time of year. Last summer we lost two babies on our streets where I live. Two under the age of two. And both didn't live over 3 blocks from the other. And it all happened on a busy street not much over a half a mile from where I live. The first two year old was hit and killed when he wandered onto the street. About 3 months later last summer another 2 year old once again wandered onto this same street not over three blocks away from the other and was hit, not just one time folks, but 3 successive times by other vehicles who didn't even swerve to miss him. Hope would have asked, was he still alive after the first contact? And who among the four drivers today feels the most guilt for what they did? No one was ever brought up on charges, and it rests most likely in this city upon the County Atty. saying it was the parents fault and not the driver(s) who couldn't look at where the hell they were going and struck and killed a two year old child. Sure, in this case some people would probably blame the parents. Me? I blame the drivers. How the hell do you tell a baby in clothes from an animal that wears none but the fur on its back and dare to strike that with your vehicle? I hope you can't live with it you scum bags. I hope it haunts you until your dying days until you either take your life by your own hands or turn yourselves in and let them torture you to death for not "living" up to your mistakes for killing something so precious. I do feel the parents pain in the elementary school, just as I felt it for these two here at home that I didn't know. Sure, someone has to stop this, but how do you stop that over-sized monster truck they keep making that can't see that child stepping off that curb that doesn't know any better? Either we can blame the parents for a child that's just learned to unlatch the door and escape outside where he is just leaning about the world around him, OR, or we can say to the automobile manufacturers, STOP making those vehicles that can't see that child down in front of their vehicles when they step off the curbs, you Beavis and Butt Heads. Stop someone from killing a child needlessly and effortlessly because of your idea bigger is better and your light bulb dimmer, especially when we have fruit cakes, like the child killer that went into that school to do just that. The suspicion going on around here is that it was that type of vehicle that hit those children, otherwise, why wasn't there an attempt to swerve or stop... there wasn't. And there wasn't in the last case when 3 other vehicles decided to clean up what the first one didn't do.\
