The Senseless Colorado tragedy

I am sure you are all aware of the senseless tragedy that happened in Colorado recently. If not, here's a link to just one story.

I want to start off  by saying, My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and family members left behind from this tragic event.

When incidents like this happen it puts into perspective the things that are occurring in your own life and could have occurred. Something as simple as going to the movie has now turned a nation upside down thinking that something like this will occur again. Somewhere else during another screening. It makes you wonder, where can I go to do the ordinary things I am used to?

Every so often there is a violent rampage that shakes America to its core. Let's face it, unfortunately, no one can predict when, how, where, some unspeakable tragedy will occur. Shootings at the mall, on a college campus, at a restaurant, an ambush on the side of the road. Some small part of me thinks there is some planning to it all. What makes a person (or people) decide to go through with it? What ticks someone off so much that he or she (they) feel that random killings is better than seeking help for these sinister thoughts.

We all get "extremely" mad at some point - but it is never worth it to take lives.
