I dont want anyone to die when these things happen, but in reality it happens. If someone killed the Columbine kids before they killed anyone I think we would all agree a tragey would have been averted.
No, three young kids dying is a tragedy regardless of their intentions. Amazing how little regard you have for human life that doesn't fall in line with your thinking.
Precisely.
The crazy thing is, when I first pointed out how inhuman and callous his post was, I fully expected him to say, "Well, of course I meant that it prevented a
larger tragdy" and claim I was just making a semantic argument. Seeing him dig in his heels and insist that the senseless waste of human life isn't a tragedy at all if it happens to someone he doesn't like is just depressing.
