Colorado Nightmare

July 25, 2012 by bb-pawprint

The Colorado shooting that happened recently really hit me hard. When I first heard about it, I thought it was just a normal shooting that happens often but when I read about it more it became so haunting. The shooter was a smart college student. He wasn’t some crazy convict who escaped jail or something. His intentions of the shooting seem so unreal and schizophrenic. He thought he was the joker and wanted to play part of the movie. It’s scary because he took the lives of so many innocent people who went in to watch a movie. You would never think that going to a movie would turn in to such a nightmare. He massacred such young people who could have gone so many places in their lives and done so much more things. It makes you think that no one has forever to live. Not everyone have a million chances to make something out of our lives. It’s really bothersome and depressing. Three men died saving their girlfriends. These are the true heroes, forget Batman. I wish to meet heroes like that in my life. The whole situation makes you feel like you are so lucky to be alive and that you have another chance when others didn’t. It just messes with me because I feel so guilty. I live everyday saying “tomorrow this, tomorrow that.” I never really think that there might not be a tomorrow. Situations like these make you scared because it is an eye opener of the world we live in. A lot of times we feel safe, we really are not safe at all. A movie theater seems like a very safe and fun place to be and I always had this just fun, artistic image of it in my head, but that image has been gripped from my mind and replaced by a haunting, scary place where nightmares become reality. It will  be a long while till I even watch another movie again, and I will probably never set foot in a movie theater again. The scary part is you don’t know where else these things could happen. They happen where you never see it coming and I may never feel safe again.
