News Ft Myers, Fl Shooting

[lostforgottensoul]

Personally, I am just as heartbroken about these violent tragedies in other countries as I am about the ones here in the U.S. That doesn't mean I feel capable of posting or writing about them.

Completely, totally, absoutly, 100%! Nor do I honestly know about them til my dad tells me (including most US ones) and posting and then talking about it would be too much. Way way too much!

I understand, Lost. We are going through an extraordinarily difficult time in this world. I've never seen anything like this in my 53 years. I was a tiny kid through part of the U.S. civil rights movement, which had many, many tragic, horrible times, but was too little to know about them at the time.

"this rampage may have started with an argument over a rap performance. Police have not yet released a motive." (two hours or so ago) da link: Link Removed

with an argument over a rap performance.

That's riduculous! Lets shoot people because we disagree or the performance was shit or whatever. Kids were in there down to 12 yrs old!

I didn't say it, it was a quote from the article. Look I'm from So Cal and near the boarder... teens have been shooting each other since I was 13. This ain't new, it's just new to Central Florida. [added in edit: And I was 13 in 1973] Violence came into the suburban neighborhoods in my childhood home back then. Sad to see it here (my state too though).

P.S. The article says as was also in my quote that the police haven't established the "official" motive". k?
