First and foremost, our hearts and our thoughts go out to the friends, family and victims whose lives are forever scarred by this twisted tragedy..
I believe something good comes out of even the worst things.. I can't foresee how in this case..
You know, it takes something like this happening to make you think for a while that this can happen anywhere.. Anytime.. Anyplace..
I sit at work and think, literally, is someone going to come in here and start shooting for no reason? Am I going to make it home today to tell my kids goodnight?
Where I work, it's probably not likely.. But it wasn't likely someone was going to start shooting at a mid-night showing of a movie, neither..
There's nothing that can stop this kind of thing from happening.. These things will continue to randomly occur in random places for random reasons, or no reasons at all..
People have their own ideas on how to make sure this never happens again.. But there's really nothing you can do.. It will happen.. Again..
Sobering to think about.. Makes me not want to go anywhere or take my family anywhere.. I mean, that probably won't happen.. We'll still carry on like we normally do..
But for a while, all I'll think about is if we're in the wrong place at the wrong time..
Just a real thought that's been going through my mind for a few days..
