I refrained from discussing this horrific incident and the trial, but it's heartbreaking. Kyle had access to a gun and murdered other young people, and the whole thing is absolutely horrifying. Kyle is a child, and even though he's 18 now, he's still a child, and all of the families suffer and everyone is a victim.

Shootings like this one, aren't prevalent in other developed nations, yet we don't consider society, politics, and economics as an instigator to our problems in the US. There is something so incredibly wrong embedded into our culture, and it's not going to go away by putting Kyle away, but we don't bother with solutions.

It makes me so sad. I appreciate reading your essay. It reminds me some of us look for a deeper meaning to understand wtf is going on. xo
