Its all an absolutely horrible story. Apparently, both parents dead, his girlfriend and friend, plus all the kids in his kindergarten class. 

 

I couldn't stop watching the news yesterday and following twitter. Its amazing what people are capable of, it really is. 

Tough reality that the world is a screwed up place. 

 

This facebook status really captured my thoughts well...

 

It's times like these that make me understand the scope of our sin and why it is deserving of death, hell, and separation from our Creator for an Eternity. I can only praise the Lord that despite our wretched selves he still chose to give His only Son to pay the very price we owe. Praises be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as he holds those little children in His arms which are full of grace and mercy! They are the same arms that await us when we leave this world. My prayers go out to those families as we mourn with them.

I just don't understand why someone would want to even do something like this.

 

You have to feel bad for those families. They have to go home to face Christmas presents that will not be opened.

Hell isn't even bad enough for this asshole.
