People pray and stand outside the overflow area of a vigil at the Saint
Rose of Lima church in Newtown, Conn. December 14, 2012. The peace and
security of the suburban Connecticut community of Newtown lay shattered
on Friday after a gunman attacked a primary school in one of the worst
mass shootings in U.S. history. Tearful parents and children gathered
around Sandy Hook Elementary School by midday on Friday, surrounded by
police vehicles, as young and old alike struggled to make sense of a
shooting rampage that killed at least 28 people, including 20 children.

NEWTOWN, CONN. - Acrimony, animosity, annoyance.
Exasperation, indignation, vexation.
Where the hell do you start to describe the mood here?
They are not even close to the right words to capture just how angry people are.
There is nothing worse a human being can do than randomly open fire and murder innocent kids in cold blood at a school.
Except, perhaps, not do anything to prevent it from happening again.
The infuriation here is not just over the needless death of so many
innocent children and adults but that another school shooting has rocked
America.
