It’s been a week since my last column was published. In that respect, I have been a bit lazy. Since my last column, an unspeakable, heartbreaking event occurred. This is going to be my first column commenting on the event, and my second will be published later this week.
My iPhone alerted me of what had happened a little after 10:30 in the morning last Friday. At that time, I and America was unaware of the magnitude of the shooting and the effects it would have on our country in the days following.
I had absolutely zero words to say after I found out that little children had been murdered. The only emotion that would come out of me were tears. Tears for the kids, teachers, staff, and tears for America because I knew the discussion that would quickly follow.
Gun Control. Just hours after the news had been broken, liberal pundits were already exclaiming that guns had caused this tragedy and that we should have stricter gun control.
These columns, comments, and opinions seriously angered me.
In America, do we not have enough decency to not make everything into a political battle? Can some things not have any political spin to them?
These were the questions I was asking myself, my friends, and all of my twitter followers.
I was absolutely appalled and disgusted that such a horrible and tragic event could be turned into political shenanigans in a matter of hours. Did these people not have respect, knowledge, and decency for what had just happened?
It was a reality that no American, young or old, wanted to face. Many, many innocent people including small children had just been murdered in what should be the safest place for them. On top of that, not one person murdered had warranted any reason for their death; yet in a matter of seconds, their lives would be so selfishly taken from them.
However, it is a reality that we must face, whether we like it or not.
In our society of “normalcy”, there are abnormal people. Abnormal people do things that you and I cannot comprehend because we process events on a rational level.
The man pulling the trigger was not normal. There was something wrong with him, but there were no real outward signs that anything was wrong, and preventing this massacre was almost impossible. There is only one rational way I could see this massacre being prevented, but we’ll discuss that in the next column.
On Saturday afternoon, the Connecticut Chief Medical Examiner discussed what he had seen at the scene with those of the dead. He told America that each of the children that he had completed an autopsy on had been shot anywhere from 3 to 11 times.
This man, Adam Lanza, wanted these children, teachers, and staff members dead.
For what reason? We will probably never know, and quite frankly, I don’t care to know why. All I know is that there must be some drastic action to take place so that something like this never happens again, and that’s what we’ll discuss in the next column.
However, I hate talking about this. It is sad. It makes me cry, and I wish the media would leave the town of Newtown, Connecticut alone.
Also, I do not think it is appropriate for anyone to be speaking of this tragedy in political terms. That’s why I will be offering a future solution to this problem, and I will continue to condemn those on both the right and the left that turned this unspeakable act into a political hotbed.
I pray every night for the children, staff, teachers, and all of the innocent lives that were lost because of a single man’s actions. This event has affected me, not like any other, because I am still in school, and I still remember what it was like as a first grader.
I hope we can find it in ourselves to stop the political spinning of this tragedy and just leave the town alone so they can mourn their losses.
America is mourning with them.
God Bless You, and God Bless America.

We must not become desensitized to the Newtown slayings — and our duty to defend each other — by watching the constant news coverage. Many of those trying to use Newtown as a pretext to turn the US into their genocidal gun-free zone are the same ones who promote the social instability and immorality that predictably inspire most of the murders. Those misfits deserve punishment, not our guns.

it never ceases to amaze me when I read something or hear a statement from a young person that makes total sense , and I find myself wondering why our elected officials are`nt even half as sensible as these kids !
It’s because they are in high places and they have a lot of power. This power goes to their heads and they abuse it. There’s always corruption in high places. These politicians who hate our Second Amendment are corrupt and greatly fear armed law-abiding American citizens probably because they are guilty of crimes against us. They don’t want us to find them out and bring them to justice. So, they work hard by lying, cheating, stealing and killing to violate our most important rights. We should NEVER give up our guns — NEVER!!
It was a heinous crime and a tragedy for the families, and America grieved with the families.
The liberals to waste no time immediately began the onslaught against the second amendment. I’m greatly angered that Benghazi could get no airtime and it was a tragedy too, but the liberal press chose to keep that quite and let Obama pull his cover up. Now the liberal press are like wolves snarling and gnashing their teeth because the President shed fake tears and basically stated release the hounds. He won’t grieve the death of our soldiers, but when the death of innocent children further his political agenda he’s all over it and in front of cameras. In no time after Benghazi did he even address the public or express grief. President Obama will not rest until the Second Amendment is dissolved and the constitution destroyed. Our greatest threat to America is not guns, it’s Obama.
Wahsldivad That was very well written . And it is amazing how many people are so blind to what he is really like .
Consider that returning veterans along with 90% of civilian voters believe that the nation is distinctly headed in the wrong direction under the present administration. There are always more ways than one for any participant in treason to have rest. Being only the misinformed alien mouthpiece for his cabinet directed actions and a senate majority locked into “my way or the highway” political party doctrine with fifty years of staged moral decline, his pompous speech can only pass for truth in the ears of the uninformed. However, their diminishing numbers due to internet promotion of facts normally hidden by TV media omission and whitewash and their unrelenting bent of using any event to further their treasonous cause seems to finally have provoked their alligator mouths to overload their hummingbird hind parts.
Their unbroken travesty of truth spinning broad public condolence for the horrendous events at Newtown, CT. to support their continued twisted political risk of warped constitutional interpretation to further their treason can only add to the fires ignited by their elections by massive voter fraud. Even the looming financial cliff will fail to further conceal the many threads of treason daily exposing intent of conspiracy.beyond the realm of TV media’s agenda imagination. 12/21/2012 by many ancient predictions is both the end and first day of a new era. So be it.
Rest easy Chris. Documented but hidden effects of antipsychotic prescriptions administered for treatment of mental disorders will be revealed soon after their investors, distributors, manufactures, and lobby diversify to cover their loss from swelling liability. Their effects have long been documented among war veterans being treated for post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) Search Rxisk dot org.
Fear of deserved retribution in the guilty minds of felons that would attempt to infringe second amendment intent is once again crooning in harmony with all that seem to have no memory of their sworn oaths of office. Repeating such agenda in concert with corrupt misinformed talking heads seems to be no longer be considered as inciting to riot until violence ensues. Have unrelenting TV media supported by corrupt oath sworn neurotics that share the guilt deemed themselves immune to second amendment intent while employing brazen treasonous abuse of free speech? Equal abuse of first amendment rights can be expected to immediately come under DOJ attack if a who and where list of all public and private proponents of second amendment infringement begins to circulate for purely patriotic observation thereby further exposing the conspiracy at hand.
Frantic legislative, judicial and executive action by all the guilty among the various and sundry elements of government can be expected to fly their colors in fear of a continuous surge of arms and ammo sales purposed for their restraint. The nature of neurotics attempting to justify their sickness by association becomes undeniable with attempted UN treaty intervention. Has their encroaching paranoia matured into full blown psychosis?
