I went to high schoo...I actually knew the shooter. I went to high school with him. I no longer live in Sumter, but I was shocked to hear of what happened back home.<BR/><BR/>Apparently the shooter has a history of violence, cocaine distribution/addiction, and other unpleasant things. Shame too, because he was generally a nice, quiet kid in school. If anything, we thought he would grow up gay -- not a junkie.<BR/><BR/>Go fig...<BR/><BR/>But back to the issue at hand, it is really sad at what happened. No motive. No justification. Just an unnecessary act of violence that ruined numerous lives all at once.TOPolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206619274269962268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2567688739355556130.post-66998440147907761762008-11-01T22:14:00.000-05:002008-11-01T22:14:00.000-05:00Very poignant. I ask myself these questions myself...Very poignant. I ask myself these questions myself. I have traveled and lived overseas and no one has the gun problem that we do. Why is that? Other countries adjust their constitutions, why do we, one of the youngest countries out there, think we cant? The circumstances around some of the amendments in no way reflect the reality of today - why can't people get that. It is those damn gun lobbyists and that damn NRA.<BR/><BR/>Oops! You struck a nerve! I just came over to say hi and thanks for the well wishes for NaBloPoMo - like your badge! Hope the writing juices flow!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00783652571241657386noreply@blogger.com
