Tuesday, March 22 One More Columbine
My first thought reading the news about yesterday’s high school shooting Then I read about how the shootings occurred at an American Indian Reservation..and I felt another part of my heart sink..the part that has heard countless times about the poverty and the strife on the reservations of this country.. I began to read the news not sure which part of my heart would feel torn. The security guard, dead…a teacher…dead…6 students…and the gunman…dead…over a dozen others wounded…. But our gunman didn’t start his day killing at school.. Reading about the deadliest shooting since Columbine…so many questions come to mind.. How did the boy get the guns? A shotgun and a hand gun. Why did he do it? What was his life like on the Minnesota reservation? Did the poverty and the unemployment of the reservation play a roll? Did the cruelty of high school kids play a role? I imagine all this will un-fold as so many people searching for an answer start to question everyone around this boy. But all I can see is …more kids dead….more guns…being made available to kids…. I wonder what Charleton Heston…is doing today?
