Level of Problem: Local
Article Concerns: People who have lost loved ones and families who have suffered tragedies
Why it affects families and individual: This can help show others involved in school shootings that they are not alone and know that they have support.
It is so tragic what happened at Sandy Hook and I believe that tearing down the school is a way for families and individuals to heal. In order to relieve the many people who suffered through this shooting the school and hopefully bad memories should attempt to be destroyed. It is comforting to see the lengths people went through to contribute money and time to help heal the hearts of these people. I cannot understand why people commit such cruel and heartless acts that are catastrophic to many. It is especially saddening to know that these children and families will be scared for the rest of their lives and have to undergo different counseling in order to just be normal again. To take an innocent child’s life and get some sick joy out of it blows my mind. I want to ask these sick individuals who commit these acts what could make them do such a thing. There answers though would never give any reason to ruin the lives of many and has no benefit to anyone. There are not many people that I would wish harm on but I hope these sick individuals get what they deserve. The new school hopefully will shine a new light on these children’s lives and help mend how they are feeling. I for one would not want to go back to the place where I saw the people I knew killed and went through such a horrible life changing event. I hope this helps each individual deal with what happened and I am glad the community is coming together to help out.
