I just learned about the awful, awful news regarding James about an hour ago. There are so many things that I’d like to say, but don’t know how to put into words given my current mental state. I realize this is a very controversial topic, and I must be careful about how I word this. I’d like to make it clear that I am aware of the plot that was so intricately planned, and understand how gruesome and horrifying it truly is for those who live in that area. But that is not my only focus with this post.
It’s very hard to make sense of an event like this when it involves someone that you know. I am still trying to wrap my head around it. Especially when a plan to take so many lives was supposed to take place. I am still unclear of the details, and encourage those who do know more about the event to message me and enlighten me.
However, the only thing I can really think about right now is the fact that someone I knew took his life today. I understand how angry some people are with him, and understand how real those feelings are. I cannot express how incredibly thankful I am that the shooting did not take place. My heart goes out to you all. But I just ask everyone to understand how his friends and loved ones must feel. Please be kind, and understand that there are people grieving. This is the beginning of a very dark period for some, and seeing hurtful words regarding the matter will make it much worse.
Please do not blame any specific blog, blogs that express interest in Columbine, or the crime community. No one is to blame here, and pointing the finger will not make this any better. Forgiveness is a wonderful thing and will get you much farther than hatred. Do not be spiteful.
I will make a better post once I have my wits about me, and learn more about the situation. I just felt as if writing this in the meantime would be the right thing to do. Once again, please do NOT send hate to anyone during this time or post bitter comments. This is heartbreaking for those who knew him and those who live in his community. Do not blame the friends and family of James and the other’s involved. No one knew this was going to happen. For most this is just a loss of someone who was once close to them, and possibly the discovery of a much darker side to that person.
Rest In Paradise, man. I cannot express how truly sorry I am to hear about this.
