First of all, my heart goes out to the victims and their friends/families. This is something no family should have to go through.
Secondly, I felt a little guilty, but I had to chuckle this morning as I was listening to a news bit on the shooting on CBC. They were talking about the individuals who committed this terrible act and how a colleague of theirs said they were just everyday people, living the American dream. It was at that point that I laughed to myself and thought "yup, the American dream, right down to purchasing multiple guns, legally, including assault rifles. Because every American needs those!"
Upon reflection, it's sad that I've become so desensitized to these types of shootings south of the border that I now react with thoughts like I had above and thinking "yeesh, another one?"
That's my ramblings for today.
