I woke up to this that same morning not even 3 hours after it occurred and I thought to myself "What is the World, coming to". I couldn't believe it until I saw the video. The video I was watching was from the tape the actual camera man who you see in the blue, a now late Adam Ward shooting the video of his fiancé Alison Parker.
I think this was a senseless act of violence. Plenty of people said thing's I haven't agreed with, doesn't give me the right to kill them in cold blood.
Ok so now there dead and so are you. What was the point of it all. There's two families grieving now and at a loss. I wished people thought things through better then this.
