I think we all need to take some time and try to find an area where we can positively influence the young generations growing up among us. So many young people just want a little attention, someone who notices them and makes them feel like they belong. Who knows, maybe through our efforts we can prevent at least one youth from choosing the wrong path in life.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887866077099979177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-5967481606236615252009-12-16T14:05:09.428-08:002009-12-16T14:05:09.428-08:00Such a horrible tragedy!

God bless the hearts of those men and women that are there just for us.<br /><br />My son is taking Tue off to attend the funeral. If I could I'd do that too. It has been a state wide united sentiment.lizzie leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461437927126657873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-1249393311690918042009-12-05T14:28:08.429-08:002009-12-05T14:28:08.429-08:00I wonder the same thing when I see the childhood p...I wonder the same thing when I see the childhood pictures of serial murders, etc. How did such innocence go wrong?<br /><br />This tragedy is so sad and senseless.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10790953201589664954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-61776740540718015032009-12-04T15:19:02.801-08:002009-12-04T15:19:02.801-08:00How awful ...

However, I have learned that you can do everything RIGHT and this kind of stuff will still happen, for various reasons. While we will never be able to prevent all of it, we can certainly do the things you mentioned and optimize our chances of beating stuff like this before it happens.<br /><br />Great post!!Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-1577349858566240612009-12-04T06:42:10.563-08:002009-12-04T06:42:10.563-08:00I followed some of the coverage and can only imagi...I followed some of the coverage and can only imagine the pain your community is going through. Never underestimate the impact of generations of dysfunctional parenting on children, many of whom become incarcerated adults that are eventually released in even worse shape than when they entered. (I think I recall the gunman was a parolee.) <br /><br />Some people are also born brain-damaged and never get the resources (for a variety of reasons) that might make them more productive and less destructive.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22162202.post-80484524054052970912009-12-04T06:30:22.945-08:002009-12-04T06:30:22.945-08:00I just cannot imagine.

And you are right, it's through building that community that will strengthen everyone.justrunhttp://www.justrunjustlivejustbe.comnoreply@blogger.com
