When the Unspeakable Happens

First Off.  No matter how many precautions you take, you can't completely stop things like this from happening.

Some say allowing people to carry handguns would help.  Yes, in a way and at the moment.  If someone could shoot back, that might help.  But, I for one would have to worry when someone gets road rage or mad at someone else.

I would favor classifying people who do stuff like Friday as terrorists and being tried on charges by military courts with a mandatory death sentence.  Let the psychology people find out what they need to know, then end it.  At least many of the killers do the right thing and kill themselves.

Also, I believe some do this just to leave their mark and get their name in the news.  After their identification is known, then it should be they whose name cannot be mentioned.  The murderer at Northern Illinois is treated in this way.  This morning I was listening to the news on WXRT and Mary Dixon referred to the culprit as killer and not by name.

A Sad Time.
