Another shooting.

I have yet to comprehend man’s inhumanity to man as is clearly demonstrated in the latest student shooting in Colorado where a male took female students hostage and killing one.

At Colorado high school not far from Columbine, the first reports came in around noon, reports CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers: A middle-aged man armed with a handgun had stormed the high school and taken six female students hostage in a classroom. This ended when the SWAT team entered and the male shot one of the hostages then himself.

CBS News correspondent Lee Frank reported that some of the female hostages were sexually assaulted in the hostage taking.

What is going on in the minds of these people and why or how are they allowed to slip through the cracks of society is a question left unanswered.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, in the immortal words of Dylan, but it sure is not available to any of us. How sick individuals as this are allowed to stay in society functioning day to day as normal people then snap will never be answered. The fact that he is now dead by his own hand does not help the situation. He should have met his face at the end of a SWAT bullet saving the taxpayers a substantial amount of money. Taking his own life did not relieve the sadness to the family or the emotional trauma to the remaining females.

The answers are not in gun control, which is evident in Ney York, England and Australia, total gun control and high crime rates with weapons. Gun control only works with the law abiding, the fringe element just keeps on ticking and shooting.

The answer may be in better securing our schools, locking them down once the session begins whatever the answer it will not save this young girl as it is too late.

My heart and prayers go out to the families at this time of their lives and to the remaining girls who will live with this the rest of their lives.
