Connecticut Shooting


Hello!
               A few days ago our nation as devastated by a shooting that occurred in a Connecticut elementary school, where children and adults were gunned down in cold blood. This is terrible to begin with, but then has been made worse. In an interview with the press, a father of one of the deceased children broke down crying. This is natural, and should have been expected. But you could hear in the background the sudden rush to take pictures, and the clicking of cameras became easily audible. This disgusts me. I mean, I know it’s all for “a good story.” But step into the shoes of that man for a moment. Your child’s dead. You’re being interviewed in front of hundreds of people, and you lose control of your emotions. You shouldn’t have to be subjected to having your every tear reported the next day. It’s just sick. To all of the families devastated by this event, you have my deepest sympathies.
Thanks for reading
Matt Finley
