I'm in Connecticut and this sucks and I have to get it out

(Anonymous) 2012-12-19 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
So I go out to eat, and they've got the local news on, and they're telling stories about the victims of the shooting.

I go to the store afterwards and they're playing a rendition of "Alleluia" that's overlaid with Obama naming the victims of the shooting.

I turn on the radio, and they're they're talking about a fund that's been created for the families of the victims of the shooting.

I have a close friend who lost a family member. I have another friend who didn't actually know anyone who was shot, but who once subbed at Sandy Hook.

I am 27. Victoria Soto was 27. I have friends who teach elementary school who are 27 (and fucking shit, we are so young! I feel so young. And she was taken).

It's been days, and I didn't even know anyone, and I still want to cry. I just want to break down and cry. I can't believe that this has happened, that someone would think to break into a school and gun down children. Logically, I know that this is actually an anomaly. I've been studying the 1800s lately, because I'm a fucking weirdo, and I know from that that we used to be worse than we are now (and such a short time ago!). But that doesn't make it any easier.

Oh, and those Westboro Baptist fucks have said that they're looking to protest some of the funerals! They've said we deserved it because we legalized gay marriage! Anonymous hacked them, which is awesome, and people have said that they're going to follow them, to form a human barricade and sing songs of love and peace. But I'm sick at the thought that they'll even be here.

My heart goes out to everyone personally affected. I wish I could hug every single person, every single survivor and family member, and give them my love. I wish I could make it better.

I'm in Connecticut, too. And I keep making the mistake of reading the news at work when I'm taking a 5 minute break from the data entry stuff I do...

Man, I've been doing that, too. It's almost compulsive. I keep telling myself, "you don't want to read this. Seriously." But then I click the link anyway, because mother of god, it happened here, and so a part of me wants to know.

I know it doesn't mean much, but take consolation in the fact that most people are outraged by this too and are too frowning upon on those who are exploiting the occasion and/or not caring about the fact that lives were lost

:(

I feel for you anon, I'm on the other coast and I've had to pretty much start ignoring the news entirely for the sake of my sanity.
