Fort Hood Sootings

The shooting massacre that took place on an army base in Fort Hood Texas has shocked the nation and captured the full attention of the national media. Earlier this week a sergeant who was actually stationed at the Fort Hood army base walked in with two handguns and started firing at innocent men and women. Eleven people were killed and upwards of thirty people were injured. Stories like this really bother me because there is no reason for things like this to happen, I mean what the hell is wrong with these people? It seems like stories just like this have been in the news a lot lately , people jus t walking into schools or buildings killing as many people as they can and then themselves to try and prove a point. But what I don’t get is what do they think this is proving? The only thing it proves to me is that these people are cowards and complete lunatics. But the insanity plea still feels like a copout to me, it’s like oh sorry I killed a bunch of people but its’ ok I’m crazy will you forgive me? These people grew up in society they know the difference between right and wrong. I just don’t understand what would possibly drive a person to do something like this , it’s a selfish and cowardly act but unfortunately is a reoccurring theme in our country.
