SELFISHNESS (and then some)

I have a real problem with people who are selfish. It's one thing to take your own life. That's your decision. Granted it's selfish, but you can make that decision for you. To take out eight other people in the process and think that that would be a glorious way to die????.....Selfish. I just don't understand.

I'm caught too in the trap that the media is giving him exactly what he wanted. He doesn't know it because he's dead, but he wanted a bang and this is a bang. He's the biggest thing on CNN right now. I suppose it's a dicotomy for them because on the one hand they want to inform the public, but on the other hand they are giving the suicidal killer exactly what he wanted. I just don't understand.

To the families of the Christmas shoppers in the mall today, I'm sorry. To the mother of the suicidal killer, I'm sorry. What a tragedy. Life can be so short. Tell someone what they mean to you before it's too late.
