Twelve people died and 71 were shot at midnight showings of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora Colorado this morning. For them, for the hundreds of other people there who witnessed this massacre, for their friends, their relatives and that whole community, life will never be the same.Life can change in the blink of an eye when we least expect it. We can try to plan for some unforeseen events. We can buy health, life, car and home insurance. We can pre-arrange our funeral, write our wills, save for retirement or for a rainy day. But who expects that a fun night out at the movies will turn into a game changer?
Why do so many horrible events each year involve a gun and a deranged or desperate person?
I wish the Dark Knight was real and that he could stop this senseless killing.
