Hi, I am a little shaken up today. Let me explain...
About two weeks ago a young German teenager walked into a high school and shot I believe 6 others, then shot and killed himself. This was something that happens in the USA, not here! Two days ago another young German teenager intended to do the some thing in my state.I guess he posted it on the Internet, that he would go into an unnamed high school in Baden-Württemberg,and kill people. There where police everywhere (at the schools of my children). The young man ended up killing himself in a forest. I felt really sad for his family. I am grateful he didn't manage to hurt or kill anyone else, but sad they did not manage to find him before he shot himself! Well, here is why I am shaken up, Philip came home early today (two hours early). I questioned him why. At first he said the teachers had sent them home, they had a meeting. At lunch time he told us police where all over his school. They were arresting a young teenage boy, with a black shirt.They thought he had a gun! We thought we were safe from this madness! These things only happen in America, the crazy Wild West that allows people to carry and buy guns! You can not get guns in Germany! But they have opened the boarders up to the east, and the guns are pouring in. Angry young boys feed their minds on violent video games, and plan spectacular suicides killing all sorts of Innocent children! So where do we hide from this darkness? It has come very close to home! I am not sure what we must do?
