What makes this one different


I'd finally stopped crying when I saw this picture from Newtown. Then the tears started rolling again.

Perhaps you'll think I'm heard-hearted, but one of the things I've wondered throughout the day is why the fact that so many of the victims of this shooting were such small children matters so much (my heart knew the answer to that but my head didn't). After all, isn't all life sacred? Isn't the senseless gunning down of any human being a tragedy?

Of course the answer to those questions is "yes!"

But when I saw this picture I was reminded that most of those killed today were our babies. They are still at that stage in life where it is our job to protect them. When it comes to the 20 who died today...we failed them terribly.

That's what makes this one different. All of the mass shootings we've endured since Columbine have been horrific. This one just goes to a whole other level.

1. Baby killers change things.

When they start killing the babies, shot gets real and super protective instincts kick in.

Fuck the NRA.

2. they never even started living, just started going to school

most of them don't even remember the last big major event which was OBama's election in 2008. they were the babies politicians held during that election year.

and that's all for about 20 of them.

3. remember during Columbine when people were saying even the Kids should be armed ?

4. FIVE year olds!??!!

The madness pierces our hearts as never before.

I wept at the others from Gabby, Batman movie, Oregon mall, Wisconsin temple and on and on, but I SOBBED today.

But will that make a difference? The NRA and the Supreme Court will probably say "No", but I hope "YES, GODDAMMIT, YES!"
