It's Time to Stop the Blame Game, & Place the Blame Where it Belongs

     The shooting was a horrible, tragic, endless nightmare. 20 young students where shot and killed. 6 adults died a hero's death trying to save those children. For what purpose? We will never fully know. Oh yeah the Media can give us theories and their spins on things (the media is a whole other topic. )

Did he do it because he was angry at his mom? Did he do it because he was Autistic? Did he do it because of video games? No one will ever fully know. Only he knows and that went to the grave with him. Now a whole Country is in mourning  along with those who lost friends, family, husbands, wives, daughters, sons, aunts, uncles. For what reason?

Many people would like to blame Guns. Yes it was a shooting, but are guns really to blame? In my thoughts no guns are not to blame. Yes that is what he used. But still, the guns didn't scream lets go and kill a bunch of innocent children today. People are the reason guns can be used in deadly force. Its time to stop blaming the guns and start blaming the person behind the gun.

Many would like to blame video games & movies.  But come on. Millions of children around the world play video games daily. Stuff like this does not happen daily. Its not the video games fault. Video games are a work of fiction, of fantasy. Many perfectly happy children play video games that are about shooting, and guess what, they still have compassion, they will not go on a rampage and kill a dozen kids.

Many in this case would like to blame the mother. But the Mother was shot and killed. Yes they were her guns, and yes they were legal. But why is she to blame? Her son was an adult. He made the choices he made that day. She did not tell him to go shoot the kids. She didn't ask to be killed. Why are we blaming her for her adult son's choice. If your child goes and kills someone would you be to blame? Maybe she did raise him right. & Maybe she didn't. We will never know. But again millions of children are growing up, or have grown up in horrible homes. Myself included in that statement. & Guess what,  I haven't shot, stabbed, or killed anyone. Why, because I make my own choices.

It is time to stop playing the blame game, and its time to place the blame where it belongs. At the shooters feet. HE MADE THE CHOICE. HE KILLED THOSE CHILDREN. HE KILLED THE ADULTS. Maybe there was something mentally wrong with him. But that doesn't mean video games, the media, or the fact that he may or may not have been autistic, the guns, movies, or his mom are to blame. .

If it was say a 50 year old guy, would you still be blaming video games or the parents? Think about that. Clearly there was something very wrong with this man, to do what he did. But you have to wonder, maybe the mother did everything she could... He was by all terms a legal adult. He is to blame. & No one, or nothing else....

May the world always remember the lives lost at Sandy Hook School. May the angels rest in peace....



( Please note that I have not or will not use the names of the shooter, the mother, or any of the children and teachers that were killed that day. I refuse to make his name more famous then it already is. I think we all know who I am speaking off.  I will not use the children's names because they were children. They shouldn't be plastered all over the media and websites. They should have the respect of resting in peace.)
