It is so sad. A chilly spring morning erupts as the deadliest shooting rampage in United States history. 32 innocent lives lost forever while thousands of lives are infinitely impacted. The families and friends involved have been left grasping for any sense, seeking refuge from each other, their community, their country, a higher power. Thousands of miles away in Korea, foreign teachers verbally spar, eager to place blame on the situation while using the tragedy as a platform to bash each others cultures and countries. Hate fills the pages of the ESL message boards. This site has become unbearable to me. So much hate and destructive content, I cannot bare to surf these pages anymore. Sure I will use it for information in regards to employment issues and questions about expat living, but the days of surfing for interesting content is over. I do believe this site has broken my heart today. It is so sad.

When people are hurting they often lash out at others or just pour their anger on others anger. Crying or Very sad

OP's signature hero is Tupac Shakur

Some bits of information from the Tupac Shakur Legacy ~

"No longer living in fear, my pistol close in hand,
Convinced this is my year."
Tupac Shakur quote

"A six year old boy was killed after getting caught in gang war cross fire between Shakur's gang and a rival group."

"Two Milwaukee teens murdered a police officer and quoted Tupac's "Souljah Story" as their inspiration."

I did not read the biography of Tupac Shakur in full, but there are numerous online references to it.
