Guns guns guns......

It seems that I have been surrounded by killings in the past two weeks. Its
getting very un-nerving.
Yesterday there was this attack on students in a lecture hall. Four of
my friends from work go to that University. One watched things unfurl at a
safe distance. He watched as people came running past his car and a squad
car pull up. He had no clue because he was going home. He was stunned as
any one else once he heard every thing.
When I was in Omaha the Hotel I stayed at was about a half a mile away
from the Von-Mauer shootings. Again a lone gunman that took out rage on to
people he didn't know. I drove past that mall every day and I did want to
go in. Morbid curiosity creeps in, but I did not want to visit a killing
field at the same time.
The third occurrence happened at Tinley Park. Again A shooter killed
people minding their own business. This happened within one mile from a
work location is. I go by that mall at least once a week for customer
service needs.
It just seems so odd and terrifying that its so close to things that I
do and where I go. You will never stop a lone gunman that is determined.
Cameras won't do it, a new lock system will not do it. People will find a
way. The real issue is not gun control ,but in the mental health of
America.
What is wrong with our heads here in the US that the loss of life is
so casual. Today I watched on the news as they switched from the killings
to "Hey folks we have good news too, We have sunshine coming...". 10 years
ago it would have been different, 20 years ago we could not stop talking
about it and 30 years ago it was unheard of.
We lost 31 people at Virginia Tech. Not even one year ago and we have
already forgot about them. This one will be on the news for a month and
then disappear as the TV decides to go to happier stuff. This always
happens in the US. It happened with VT, 9/11 and countless other
tragities.... Its all about the ratings.
The guys and I were talking about the shooter. Some were talking about
him being sick. I presented to them that he was looking for immortality. We
will talk about him long after his natural life span. He is now as infamous
as Oswald, and the 2 knuckle heads at Columbine, The Asian shooter at VT.

Folk s I'm just rambling now ... I'm angry and feeling kinda lost today.
... I hope all is well with you all. Stay safe.
