We're all deeply involved in the details coming out of Virginia Tech. It seems every news broadcast and magazine spared no expence airlifting their best-looking onto the campus for an exclusive tell all. Every 15 minutes they will pick some co-ed from the pool and force them to relieve their grief and horror before us.
My kids very matter of factly wanted to know why no-one was able to overcome the shooter from behind. Why no-one was able to distract the shooter while someone else struck him with a chair or a karate-chop. "How about when he was re-loading?"
They dont know the paralysis and desperation of that kind of event, and thankfully neither do I. I tried to explain it to them as I imagined it. I dont know how my description could possibly compete with 13 years of heros with bullet wounds fighting off ninjas in black.
The reality is just so horrifying.
