This is a horrible tragedy. Let's not post political statements, we already know the cause and what needs to be done.

Horrible day indeed.

I don't think anyone has any answers.

I don't think this is political. I get tired of words like "shocked," "horrified," "tragedy," "saddened," and other such words relating to this event and events like it. These things should no longer come as a surprise to anyone. I don't get sad. I'm not shocked or horrified. These things just make me angry. On Sept. 11, 2001, a lady at work told me about the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks. My very first comment was, "It was bound to happen." She was already in tears, and my comment upset her. But it was the truth. I'll stop there. I don't think I said anything political.

Oh, there are answers. But those exist in the "political" realm.

I'm going to lock this as it has too much potential to derail.

We obviously feel terrible for everyone involved but this forum is not the place for discussions of this subject.
