shooting in the US

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2012.12.14

Another shooting in the US. I was too busy through the day to hear about it until after 17:00*. The youngest of the dead children was about fourteen months older than our Ken. And now I'm sure the usual hysterical in-fighting will resume and the record sales will continue for the gun manufacturers.

*This job does have its busy days: I once came out of my work tunnel-vision at the end of the day to discover that a crew had been in replacing the fluorescent bulbs overhead while I worked.

...and when you try to get some, it surely can be hard. There's always trouble waiting, when you leave your own back yard.
