How Many people thought that going to the movie theater
would be the last act they did on this earth. How many family members thought
that when their loved ones left home to do something as mundane as see a movie
that they would never see them alive again. An unknown man named James Holmes
altered the lives of many in an instant of fear and chaos.
What was in the mind of this man that carried out such an act?
He didn’t care who was in front of his gun when he pulled the trigger be they
young or old. There was no thought for the potential he was snuffing out in a
few seconds. It seems that the act only took a few minutes, but he ruined many
lives forever.
It seems that he bought a ticket and sat there among his
victims before coldly leaving to put on his suit of death and arm himself for
maximum destruction. Then he came back and proceeded to unleash carnage on a
group of unsuspecting people. This monster didn’t plan to go down in flames as
he was wearing body armor from head to toe and quickly gave up when the police
arrived.
Sadly we seem to be having more of these episodes of lone
wolf mass killers and something is broken that is acting as a incubation vessel
for these ordinary looking monsters. Something is going on in our society that
is creating these stealth characters that seem to be invisible and then they suddenly
explode and wreak havoc upon the rest of us.
These episodes have occurred at workplaces, schools, grocery
stores, universities and now a movie theater. It makes you wonder who is
sitting, driving, living or working next to you. We all move about in the world
with the assumed belief that everyone around us is rational. We can’t lose our
sense of assumed security as we move about in our daily lives or we have lost
our freedom at a level too deep to comprehend because fear is the worst prison
of all.
