At 12:41 pm today police received a distress call that a young man in his early twenties had opened fire on students with a semi-automatic weapon oustide Dawson College.
I can't formulate thoughts right now. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. My thoughts are also with the parents of the young man who carried out the shooting.
Didn't we all say this couldn't happen to us? Didn't Michael Moore tell us how safe we were? I went to Dawson College. I smoked outside where some of the kids were shot. I am watching the loop of video on the news channels, the reporters asking these kids how they felt and I can put myself there. I am grateful for my life right now and that feels selfish.
I need to find a way to help, because I know there is a problem, one that none of us can clearly identify, one that we want to put the word "crazy" on and walk away from like nothing can be done. I know better. I know there is love in this world...but so many of us have lost it.
"Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today" - Marvin Gaye
