more thoughts on the massacre

Apr 17, 2007 14:34

I'm wondering if because Virginia is so far away from California it might account for the apathy on this side of the coast. While going to school today it seemed that people knew about it but didn't have much to say and so said nothing.
Perhaps the reason that this is leaving me shaken, moreso than a lot of things - moreso than 9/11 initially (long story on why) - is because it is people in my age bracket that are doing these horrible things. I was in high school when Columbine happened and now I am in college when this horrible incident happened. The guy who did it is my own age! Somehow that makes it hit harder to home. I'm not sure I can explain it any better than that. People my age are doing these horrible atrocities. I feel way too damn young for this shit. But I suppose you're never too young for anything anymore. We all grow up so damn fast.
