    Not quite an outlet but I was thinking about the shooting, those before, all the crap in the world wondering if this kind of shit is it.. that's what we're heading for. Then stumbled on this (posted by a friend on FB)..

    Made me think that there is still hope for humanity. Though it doesn't stop the tears when reading/hearing about what happened.

    Wow that was beautiful. Thought I didn't have any tears left today. Thx for posting

    You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem. You can help by turning off the news."

    This is such a good idea, Jeanwah, as is Hugh Freaking Dillon's thread about remembering the victims. I have not and will not memorize the killer's name. I'm going to choose instead to remember Victoria Soto, 27, teacher, and memorize her name because it reminds me of a wonder poet, Gary Soto. Several of his collections are children's poetry books.

    R.I.P Victoria Soto. I didn't know you but I will remember your name and wish your family well.
