No One Had To Die

03 April 2009

I was planning to write something about the Columbine Highschool Massacre that happened 10 years ago after I read about it as I browsed old time magazines I had, I was waiting for April 20, 2009, to time it with the exact date they did what they did, but the Binghamton massacre made me do it earlier

 

13 innocent deaths on an April day, I thought the last time I would read about that is when I read about the Columbine Massacre, 4:20:1999.

4:20:1889 a man who would grow-up to kill in a more massive scale was born, Adolf Hitler.

I was suppposed to write something about kids, about how the society of highschools and the influences of media and the bazaar of options, to kids my age and younger, are confusing us. Making us make the wrong choices, realizing it too late or never realizing at all.

How you start associating yourself to things of power and mystery, losing your individual and falling into a type, a class, a group, a costumed pack. Guns, Hitler, Trenchcoats, those were supposed to be my accesories to a topic about Teens, Angst, and Life.

Now there is only one topic left to talk about and it is a topic I don't like,

Death.
