Senseless Tragedy

It's hard to believe that at the very moment I was writing my blog last night about being nice and having compassion for one other, some crazy gunman decided to open fire on a movie theater.  I don't understand what goes through someone's head when they do this.  Instead of ruining hundreds of lives, kill yourself.  Do everyone a favor.  And where would he get such weapons- an assault rifle, tear gas- these are not things you can pick up at the local Walmart.


What does this mean for us now as a society?  Are we going to need security everywhere we go?  Metal detectors and pat downs at the theater, mall and restaurants.


I just can't imagine the kids riding to the theater, excited to be going to a midnight show with mom and dad, only for it to end in a horrible tragedy.  These people were expecting a great time and a great movie, only to be the victim of a seemingly senseless crime.  And to find out that he has also booby trapped his apartment and could have killed how many more in the area surrounding that space.


My deepest condolences go out to everyone that was a victim of the psychopath.  It doesn't only effect the people sitting in that theater, but if effects so many more.
