    "Our own kind",aren't we all the same species?
    Not sure we will ever understand this type of behavior, mental health issues are starting to be a real problem.

    So many mixed emotions about this. I feel totally lost having no good response to what realistically could have prevented this. Prayers to the families.

    Amen....Only His Grace and Mercy can be relied on now for the survivors and the families who’ve lost loved ones...
    Our prayers are needed, as well....:usa:

    On a separate note, at least guns weren’t blamed in this tragedy, but mental illness(and a serious dose of evil).

    Y’all can search the interwebs to find out to whom that quote was attributed - I’m not going there, and no one else should either, for that matter.
    Stay safe FHC, the Adversary is seeking to destroy us.

    It is sad. It is a good thing there was someone willing to put his life on the line to stop him. So far we don't know who that was and I don't mean the driver although he did help; the real hero is the one that engaged the man; faced the possibility of getting killed, and perhaps prevented him from killing more.

    The actions of a few, in the presence of so much carnage and tragedy .....American-made courage, for certain.....100%.

    Both the evil and courage in this case are an American tragedy. The world is full of both evil and courage. How I see things, the vast population are good, a few evil, a few courageous.... Most people don't want to be involved in anything, just to be left alone. Save the few courageous to save all. If more would stand up for what is right this world would most certainly be a better place for it. May God bless all those affected, and accept into heaven those that have left us behind. And raise thanks to those courageous...
