A definning moment in America, was the massacre of Newtown. The one thing on our minds around this time of year is Christmas shopping and get togthers with the family. All sorts of different things on our minds but a phone call later that your child was killed by gun shot is not one of them.
The TV's were loaded with headlines on the killing of twenty plus children. Putting the whole country on mute for a few moments. Parenst rushing to schools to get their children wondering if they are safe.The details only got worse 20 children, ages six and seven, more girls than boys, and six teachers and administrators had been killed, gunned down by a young man armed with an assault rifle.
His name was Adam Lanza. He killed himself when he heard approaching policemen enter the school, but he had enough ammunition to do much more damage than he did. Doing enough damage anyways just days before Christmas. Taking kids lives away and robbing parents of their children.
