I have a 21 year old son. [View all]
It is really easy to vilify Adam Lanza. My first instinct when I heard that he had been shot and killed today was 'GOOD!!'.
But the more I think about it, the more I think how awful it must have been to be him. This kid, who was less than a year younger than my son, shot his mother in the face, then went to an elementary school and killed a bunch of children before turning the gun on himself. People have stepped forward to say he was mentally unstable. I think, at this point, that is a given.
There is enough tragedy here to go around. Enough horror for every victim to have their share. Including Adam Lanza. Somewhere, somehow, WE let this kid down. I can't really say this anywhere else, even at home. My family is so outraged, they are still at the point of feeling vengeful. I doubt any of my Facebook friends would understand what I am trying to say. I figured you guys might understand.
Even if I am not entirely sure I do.
