The Face of Evil: The Digression of Moral Conscience in America

by Jan Morgan

God help the families of those murdered children….
I can not begin to fathom the depth of their grief at this time but I certainly feel despair and outrage at the level of evil and lack of moral conscience displayed by the shooter.
I wonder how many signs were ignored here…
If it is true that it takes a village to raise a child, I ask today, what in our culture contributed to raising a monster? (c) 2012 JAN MORGAN
Just when I thought I had seen the worst of evil something else happens to take evil to levels I never imagined in my worst nightmares. God help the families of those murdered children….
What kind of cowardice and hate could lead a young man to brutally murder innocent little 5 year old children who have done nothing to cause his pain?
What is wrong with people in this country? How can a human being be so disconnected from moral conscience that he is capable of murdering children in order to make a statement about his inner torment or escape from reality? Surely someone that mentally sick was giving off indicators to the people around him that should have been addressed rather than ignored.

My heart goes out to parents of those young children who will face Christmas without their babies and to all the little children who had to witness the bloody massacre. How will those children ever recover?
Are we at a point in our nation that we have to turn our schools into prisons in lock down mode with full time heavily armed police officers at every door?
How will the remaining children ever be able to walk in the doors of that building again without feeling fear?
I can’t fathom the depth of the grief of the families of these victims. How can I face the Christmas season with joy without thinking about those little children and the horrifying last moments of their lives? How do the families of those victims face another day?
How will they find strength to breathe in and breathe out, sleep, eat, and live again?
How will America address the moral depravity and lack of respect for human life demonstrated in this massacre?

I hope guns will not become the focus. It will be a misplaced focus.
No…. Until we face the real issues in our country that lead to raising MONSTERS with no human compassion or remorse, we will continue to see more displays of insanity at the expense of innocent people.
