Dee's Space

At some point we need to start looking at some people as threats. Bottom line. Colombine was a massacre, and a very sad day, and in such tragedy, we could have learned something, but alas we didn't. 15 people dead at the hands of "The Trenchcoat Mafia". 8 days later, a similar attack in Taber AB. So schools talk about bullying, and acceptance.

And alot of good it did. "Goths" want to be different, they intentionally try to look and act in a way that will get them noticed, and ostracized. So it is time we started noticing them, and policing them. It is opression of individuality, I will freely admit that, but if we were in a school, and a bunch of kids started wearing red and blue bandanas, or biker patches, we would opress them as well. Why is it that since these kids are introverted, and unassuming to we choose not look at them as a problem? They look to live in a dead emotionless world, and thrive on vampirism, and other such obsurdity. I am not saying all "Goths" are bad, and going to shoot up schools, but at some point we need to look at the goth's as a potential for mass violence. At least with the red and blue bandanas, or biker patches, they, for the most part, only aim kill other gang members. These "Trenchcoat Kids" specifically go after the innocent. "Jocks, Preppys, and Cool Kids" So, because I have athletic talent, that I work very hard at, or because I have a good fashion sense, and have good interpersonal skills, I could be at risk for getting shot by one of these freaks? {And dont look down upon me for calling them freaks, they call themselves freaks (VampireFreaks.com)} Sorry, I am not alright with that, if we see kids that are recluse, wear all black, wear trenchcoats, and talk about hating the whole world. Arrest them, and put them in Psychiatric Hospitals.

"Oh but Dee, not all of them are going to go out and kill people" Granted, most of them would be happy to waste away thier lives hating every thing including themselves. That to me is fine. (Yes I am insensitive to these people, most of them from middle-upper middle class lives, whom whould never have to struggle a day in thier lives, if they weren't looking for a struggle to be in.) But it is when these people start calling themselves "The Angel Of Death", and have distain for the rest of the world, we should look a little closer.

And I am sorry Mrs. Gill, but your son was NOT a "nice, good boy", he was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. He was a monster, and a lunatic. You, Mrs. Gill, could have seen this coming. He was a nice young man in high school, then started wearing all black, not talking to anybody, and hating the world.... GET A CLUE, WAKE UP, he is starting to stray form the "nice boy" into a monster that would kill a wounded girl on the ground, pleading for her life. I believe Mrs. Gill is as much responsible for the death of Anastasia DeSousa as Kimveer Gill himself. ALL the warning signs were there to show that there was going to be a problem. "But he is a nice boy", Enough!!, it makes me sick that any publication would even print those dilluted, delusional words uttered by Mrs. Gill's lips. You. Mrs. Gill, saw him change, and you, Mrs. Gill, sat back and did nothing, you should be put on trial, maybe not for murder, but at the very least criminal neglegence causing death. Because your neglegence wounded 20 people, and killed one.

When we see these kids on the street, walking around, pissed off at the world, we should do something. We should lock them away until they are no longer a danger to themselves or others. How many more innocent people have to die befor we start looking at "Goths" as a serious threat?

Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.

Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.

This has been my life; I found it worth living.
