It has been nearly nineteen years since the Columbine Massacre. That is what it was called, a massacre, it was so horrible, so shocking, that someone could go into a school and start shooting, and fifteen were dead. We were shocked! It was so unthinkable, it was hard to absorb that something so unthinkable could happen.
Well, nearly nineteen years later, and many shootings have taken place. The latest today, at a school in Florida. It is still horrible, and disturbing, and sad, but it is no longer unthinkable, we are no longer shocked. The fact that shootings are so commonplace that we are no longer shocked is a tragedy in itself.
