I for one understand what a hollow point bullet does to the human condition. My heart has sobbed for these children and adults. I understand what it feels like to take a bullet through the chest. I was a teenager when it happened. I can tell you first hand it does not hurt initially. What I was taken with: The smell. Blood has a very rich, sticky smell and feels like someone poured warm soup down your shirt when the bullet hits. The body tries to fight to survive. The worst part is the inability to breathe. I remember wanting to sit up but the more I moved the more energy I used. More energy means breathing faster and they cycle speeds up. I don't believe the children were afraid. I think they were in shock. I experienced a NDE as a result of my incident. It feels like going to sleep in a peaceful bed. If for people understood what a bullet penetrating the chest feels like there would be a greater sense of civil discourse. These were children enduring a violent and very bloody end to their little lives. Yes, children were shot that day. Why, I think the evidence is in the faces of the other children still at the school. Children tell it like it is and some of those precious faces tell the tale. Their lives were stolen. Their parents won't know the joy of parenting them beyond that day and all they have left to cherish are memories. But, why am I concerned? Why have I decided to follow along? It's rooted in my own experience with my own near fatal shooting. Humans can live after being shot. They can live for well over an hour if shot through the critical mass. It's not easy but the will to live is a powerful force to reckon with. When I was shot: I weighted about 150 pounds. I was in a rural country wooded area. The nearest ambulance was twenty minutes away and the nearest hospital another twenty minutes away. All volunteers that had to be summoned by air horns and pagers. I was also alone. But I was able to live. (barely) My concern: My instinct is telling me there should be more wounded to deaths than there is. Quoting: warrior poet Warrior poet: I am sorry you had that happen to you, and I can understand why you think there should be more survivors. But we have been told that the children were shot numerous times. Apparently, he kept standking there pumping bullets into each one. I don't see how the poor little ones could have survived that. One shot, maybe two. Maybe even three, if very, very lucky. But no more than that. Thank you for responding. I hear the concern of a mom in your voice. I am a father as well and I appreciate the gift of life. We take for granted things of value until we lose those things. Life and liberty are no different. I was a product of an abusive home. I was terryfied of one of my parents growing up and I used suicide as a way to escape the abuse. I inherited a new understanding of life and death when the rifle went off. I wanted to live again. I hated I quit on my life. I also knew nothing had prepared me for what I thought I was prepared to do. It's like when my wife and I had our first child together. She dragged me to the midwife classes. Made me watch all of those disgusting videos on the science channel. I read the pamphlets the midwife handed out. Much of the reason we use in our society says, "I should have a full understanding of what my wife was enduring when the babies head started to crown." Of course this logic...flawed. In fact I asked my wife, "Were you ready for it when it hit?" "No" likewise I thought I was ready for it when I pulled the trigger. I wasn't but I understand what those babies and adults were living through those final moments. And so I share a grief with them and long to see their memories preserved with dignity and truth. It's not easy to take a human life. It requires some time to pull the trigger and reach that mental state to extinguish one life. Let alone that many. This individual looked into the faces of children after shooting his mother and pulled the trigger not once, not twice but dozens of times. This is my only concern with the story. As a US citizen, the father of my own children and a survivor I feel its my duty to ensure the truth be followed by anyone who may take issue., if its the National Star to GLP to FOX and CNN..we owe it to the lives of the ones that survived that day to grow up in an America that's as free as we found it to be. And they have the same equal chance to pursue life and liberty as we have had.
