This is definite a sick world we live in today, as I watched the news reporting this story it brought tears to my eyes. If your kids are not safe in school anymore , where are your kds safe. Scary, and may God help these families get through this horrible, horrible ordeal.

What gets me is that these incidents are happening in small communities. We think big cities are dangerous places. There is actually no place that we are safe. We're afraid of terrorists, and just look what we are living with right here at home. It's so very, very sad. The parents must be so devistated tonight. And then there are the parents of the children in critical condition. It's almost too much to bare.

Another little girl died this morning. Now the total is 4 deaths plus that beast, so 5 deaths total. If an Amish community, where the incidents of violence are practically non-existent, is not safe then the rest of us are doomed. I kind of expect things like this to happen here in NYC, but I guess no one is exempt from evil. Apparently this man chose this location to commit this horrendous act because he knew there would be no security. Essentially, these people's wholesome and trusting ways made them a target. It is all so sad.

The 9-year-old girl died about 1 a.m., and the 7-year-old girl died about 4:30 a.m.

There is really no way to prepare for this kind of thing. You don't know where or when some pshyco is going to lose it. I wish I lived a long, long time ago, I know it was a little rougher, but it was safer. I can remember when we could go to bed at night with our doors and windows open and unlocked in the summertime. Now, even in our small town, it is just not safe. I hate to admit it, but most of the time I am afraid. I don't do anything like I use to.

Today's news said that he had KY jelly with him and had planned to molest them before killing them. The police must have gotten there sooner than he planned. Thank God he didn't have time to make their last moments even more horriffic.
The president is planning a meeting to discuss school violence. Don't know how the government can protect us against this kind of evil. Metal detectors & guards in Amish school houses??? Ain't happening.

You know, I noticed on the news coverage that I didn't see anyone crying or "losing" it. Their faith must really get them through it or else they are not suppose to show emotion (I don't know much about the Amish). I've always felt I had plenty of faith, but I don't think I could handle anything like that. If I lost my son, heaven forbid....I would just give up. I wouldn't be able to bear it.

The 5:00 PM news just said that the guy had a 20 year old secret....that he molested some family members. Why didn't he just kill himself instead of taking these childrens' lives. Such a pity!!!!
