Oh, fucking hell.

NOT COOL, YOU HEAR ME? NOT COOL.

[livejournal.com profile] quintus? May I have permission to come over there and exercise my prerogative as an American to be an arrogant violent bastich at the people responsible until they whimper and bleed from new and innovative places?

Well, like I said, it's not a matter of whys. Anybody who willingly murders fellow human beings in the manner they do have completely abrogated rationality. And for us to try to assign a rational reason to their actions after the fact is granting them a legitimacy that they definitely do not deserve. (woo run on sentence!)

You can't make sense of the senseless. All you can do is assure that the senseless has no hold on society, by removing those who commit senseless acts.

And, man, I *SO* should not be discussing philosophy this early in the morning. Gives me the collywobbles.
