User blog comment:Jeremiah Garland/Condolences for those Killed in Newtown, Connecticut/@comment-3242795-20121216133051

You know what's sickening? Everyone is flipping out about this, like we do about every shooting. And what happens? We forget it. It disappears because it doesn't affect us. We all remember the movie theater shootout at The Dark Knight Rises. That's still fresh enough for most of us. How many of the dead can you name? But I think we all know the shooter's name. James Holmes. I know it. That's what's wrong. We say we're "mourning," but we don't. We take it as a chance to let out the evil inside all of us. "I WANT HIM RIPPED IN HALF.  HE DESERVES TO DIE.  KILL HIM WITH FIRE." If you were really mourning, you'd be putting things together and sending them to the families. It's just another bandwagon we all hop on in order to make ourselves feel better about the whole thing. And then we turn around, pretend to stop it by "increasing gun control." That's BS. If someone wants to kill, they're going to kill. The best thing you can do is forget the killer's name, and remember at least one of the names of the dead.
