A man went on a shooting rampage today at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. At least 10 people were killed, and it has been confirmed that the gunman himself is dead.
It makes me so sad -- and angry -- to read about these stories.
It's heartbreaking that innocent people who were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time won't be coming home tonight -- many of whom probably had children who will now have to grow up without them.
Moreover, what angers me is how these cold-blooded killers are so cowardly and selfish as to take innocent lives.
If you hate your life and no longer want to live, fine -- put a bullet in your brain. But why take people who have nothing to do with your issues down with you?
The reason they do it is because they see it as one final act of redemption. They don't care what happens to them -- whether they end up getting arrested or shot dead -- and take pleasure in being the cause of others' suffering, not only of the casualties themselves but their families as well.
Their MO is fairly straightforward: "If I suffer, you're going to suffer as well. If I go down, so will you."
This world has become frighteningly dangerous. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to stop these maniacs from wreaking havoc. They're like a ticking timebomb -- and they'll stop at nothing to carry out their evil plans.
I send my most heartfelt condolences to the families of those affected by this tragic shooting.
Stay safe out there, everyone.
