I haven’t bothered to learn the murder’s name because I don't care about him. I care about the victims and who they were.
May they all rest in peace.

I am grateful to the adults who showed such courage to try to save the children and did manage to save some of them.

Yes, this. Always this.

Thank you. I have had this attitude for a long time like I learned the names of the boys that were murdered in Atlanta by Wayne Williams.

May their memories be for a blessing, and may their families be given light and comfort. I can't imagine how many Chanukahs and Christmas and family gatherings went from light into darkness. I'm holding my niece and nephew a bit tighter today.

You would not believe how many hugs Caroline got over the weekend from her family.

I only care about the killer because - as usual - people are pointing the finger at ASD in order to find something to blame for his horrific actions.

Thinking of all the victims and their families xx

I understand that and appreciate that you have a different perspective than us.

It is wrong to point to something and say "this is the reason why" especially when it paints a group of people who are marginalized even further into to the margins.

I'm amongst friends on this thread; I knew I could speak my views and explain why they are what they are.

Thank you for understanding xxx
