[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 545373, member: 84"] I'll have to try to watch that movie dashcat. This was an excellent essay, and honestly, it needed to be put out there for people to have to think about, people who imagine they could never find themselves in the same position. phht I have to be careful watching news reports or reading articles on this...........and I found out quickly that I had to use extreme self control NOT to look at the idiotic responses many people have to them. As I said before his behavior before, during, and after the shooting reminds me strongly of a schizophrenic who has nose dived into psychosis. It hits a bit close to home for me. There were times during my life that that could've been my aunt or my mother, and truth be known it's probably a very good thing my paternal grandfather was a rip roaring alcoholic and was usually too drunk to do too much, what he did manage to do was bad enough. So I can not only empathize from a parental point of view, but having grown up with schizophrenics and seeing what they go through.......it may make me unpopular, but I have just as much empathy for the shooter as well. That doesn't take away the deep sadness I feel for the victims and their families or the fact that I think this was a horrible tragedy. Nor does it mean I think he should just walk away with no consequences either for that matter. My prayers center around ALL involved, because all of them are victims. :( [/QUOTE]
