This is something that really works under my skin – senseless violence. Even worse, the people who get away with it.

So many innocent lives are taken daily because of other people’s problems. Why are these people not found out and dealt with before something bad happens?

Are we so blind that we do not realize that the people around us are even capable? People pay close attention to their teenagers ever since the Columbine incident, but what about older people? How can a man kill his wife and child at point blank range and no one had any clue that he was going to do this?

In some cases these horrible criminals are caught, other times they are not. I often wonder how these people live with themselves; can they really go on with their life? I hope they suffer and think about those they killed every day.

Keep a vigilant eye on those around you. Watch for any mental break, odd behavior, or stress that could cause anyone in your life to commit a crime that is not in their nature. We need to help those who are suffering, even if they are not going to harm other people.
