EMJ, I understand where you are coming from. You just want to hear somebody cared about those kids. That although crazy random things happen, the victims deserve a little more than a jab joke here or there. I get it. Just know that some people here stop to listen... To both sides.
Sometimes I feel like people who confront tragedy and death, where I am sure you have serving in the military, there is a part of us that tries to numb it and say "s***!" happens every day, why is today different? If I had that perspective, I wouldn't go into work, being a nurse. I wouldn't try to save another person's life, day in and day out. Why? Everybody dies. Things aren't that simple. Death and life are such complex things that some people try to make very simple.
Not saying I think there should more laws, or that knives should be outlawed, or whatever. Just saying I too feel horrible for those kids that got stabbed and the parents that had to go to the hospital instead of picking up their kids from school. Their reality is much more grim than us sitting here debating on a car forum.
