Colorado shootings

Another terrible shooting, this time in a theater where people had Gone to relax, enjoy a few hours away from their daily lives, to get Lost in a movie for a few hours. As many heart wrenching stories come out I find a little more about the individuals who were victims of this tragedy. Like all tragedies it is the stories of hope and faith that are reported the most and you here of ordinary people who had extraordinary lives. Like the brother of one of the victims, who was also within minutes of the mall Shootings a few years ago, stated, he is begging people through all this to never Mention the shooters name, to give him none of the glory that he craves. He asked this of our president who met with all the families for hours yesterday. Obama agreed never to mention the name of the shooter and I too agree not to do that. Instead, let us focus on the families and friends, the ones who have died or been victimized by a minster. Aside from one man, who was in his fifties, all the rest of the dead were under 30 years old. The youngest of the deceased was a mere 6 years old, a whole life ahead. As usual, there are those out there who want to find fault with the innocent. There in the theater was a young couple with their 3 month old baby. Many have outwardly Stated they had no business to be there with a newborn. Yet I say, I remember being young and poor with babies. They probably thought it was a way to enjoy a night. The fact is, this is America and they did nothing to deserve condemnation. They are the innocents, they deserve not to have to explain themselves. I continue to hear the stories as its my personality to do this. Our country needs to wrap our arms around those who were in that theater and pray lots for all for those left behind are the ones who will suffer the most. I can't go a morning without thinking of the 6 year olds parents and how they will manage I also spend lots of time thinking not so much of the shooter but his parents. They too need prayers as much as the rest as I am sure they are filled with quilt even though They really are innocent in all of this. Come together country and pray for all involved.
