I find myself thinking about the number of shootings executed by young men this year. It is truly heartbreaking that they felt so badly, so angry, they felt the need to conduct a violent retribution against their society, against their fellow human beings. There was Seung Hui-Cho, the 23 year old South Korean English major from Virginia Tech who killed 32 people back in April before killing himself. There was Asa Coon, the 14 year old boy who injured 4 people before killing himself at Success Tech Academy in Ohio in October. There was Pekka-Eric Auvinen, the 18 year old student who killed 9 people in Jokela Secondary School in Finland before killing himself in November. There was 19 year old Robert A. Hawkins, who killed 9 people in Westroads Mall in Nebraska on December 5th before killing himself. And there was 24 year old Matthew J. Murray, who killed 5 people at the churches Colorado YWAM and New Life in Colorado on December 9th before killing himself.
