Delray Beach...Once Again

Kathy,

Like everyone else, we are deeply saddened by these events.  We all have to look deeper for the solutions without prejudice.  If we can do that, things will align and solutings will come easily.  A

I try to find the good in people, especially people of opposing viewpoints, because being right or being smarter doesn't count in war. Until we start figuring out a way to come together, to support other human beings in their journey through life despite our differences, chaos will undoubtedly and tragically continue.

Kathy, many join you in grief and asking questions.

We need to make sure we are asking the right questions.

What causes a person to take another person's life?

Are we ever a part of causing pain in another that would lead them to violence?

Are we willing to come together and be a part of the solution?

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Houston community.

There is no one answer that would take care of all of this

How about we begin with focusing on (1) Mental health issues (2) Reasonable gun laws (3) The entertainment industry becoming committed to less violence in movie, game and song. (4) Politics that is more about bringing the country together, rather than extreme lunatic fringe agendas that divide the country, and have no common sense solutions!

Kathy these shootings do not make any sense, and are not helped by the politics that some have been playing in order to promote their agenda

Hello Kathy - although we understand that words are not enough, you have included some especially good quotes today. 

The ridiculous idea that something w we need Ben more guns in this country makes me sad.

I am so sad about hearing this and it is a bigger problem than Guns... it is Parenting, Mental Health and the list goes on and on... Endre

It is very scarey. I worry about my grandchildren going to school. My younger ones won't start school for a few years, I can't imagine the devastation that the families and friends of the victims are experiencing.

Morning Kathy.

Thus the debate continues.  We can control all of the guns however, those with mental issues we can't.  IMO, this debate will continue long after we are gone.

Hi Kathy,
It is so horrific.  Something I can't even comprehend.  My sentiments align with Myrl Jeffcoat .  There is no one answer and we all need to come together with a common goal... not personal agendas.  All of these incidents can be traced back and there were "signs" that were ignored.  How do we help these people?

As a parent, grandparent and former middle school teacher, I can only imagine what these students and their parents are dealing with over & over again.
