Many years ago when I was a kid living in northern Michigan, there was a young boy who went to school with me.
This kid was the type of person who was in your face and annoying. He would walk on the backs of my feet and, well, that's how he made friends. Yeah, he had friends, and IIRC, he was the type that spent much of his school life in a resource room. However, 16 years ago, I was reading the obituary page in my local newspaper and was shocked to see his name mentioned.
I attended his wake and asked his mother how he died, and she claimed that the pharmacy gave him the wrong medication. Well, there was more to the story.
You see, this kid was adopted. His parents already had two girls but wanted a son. So, they became foster parents. They adopted this kid, who was born in Florida, probably to some idiots. I went to tech school with him and I remembered him getting kicked out. I heard it was for him not showing up to class. Well, he moved back in with his parents and one day, his mom was looking through a bag of his and found a gun and wadded up cash. He had broken into a house and stolen the items. So, the mother called the cops and they arrested his son.
Eventually, he ended up in the Grand Traverse County Jail where he was dealing with schizophrenia, so they gave him medication. However, he died from taking it.
So, let's see: this kid was adopted, had mental issues and had a gun in his possession. Sound familiar?
The big difference between him and Nikolas Cruz was the fact that this particular person had a mother who knew that people could be put in danger because of his actions. Yes, sadly he died in jail, but the good news is that this mother's thinking could have prevented a mass shooting for all we know.
A few years ago, I saw a political cartoon with an elephant proclaiming that we need to do everything to protect the unborn. Then, in the next panel, an NRA logo appears and the elephant says something like "until they're 10 years old".
Sadly, I've met a lot of people who were adopted and they're jerks. There's many kids who grew up fatherless and they turned out terrible. In high school, I knew two girls who were both. They both treated me like their personal Uber driver and a wallet to boot. I had to sit through their shit. Why? Because neither had a decent father figure in their lives. Hell, the one whose father disappeared on her's stepdad actually LAUGHED when planes were crashing into the World Trade towers on 9/11!
Sometimes, I don't understand the logic of people who give birth to kids who will grow up to be totally fucked up. Granted, not everybody who was a mistake turns out bad and there are some kick-ass single moms out there. But sadly, the fact that another school shooting happened because of a dumbass who was adopted, had mental issues and didn't come from a stable family is nothing more than shocking.
You see, I think women should never be ashamed to have an abortion. Hell, in this climate of school violence, should people even HAVE children? Sadly, as long as the Repukes and corporate Democrats are all funded by the ever-so-wealthy NRA, well, this is what happens.
As long as the NRA owns our souls, we can't have nice things.
