W.S.W.O.

I tend to avoid social media on the weekends. Mostly because I am trying to do other things, but mainly because I am not usually in front of a screen much (unless it’s the TV and I am binge watching something). So I didn’t hear much about the Orlando tragedy until much later, after the internet exploded.

One of the sad parts of this whole ordeal is seeing the vitriol that poured out of the other side of the internet with people siding with the shooter saying he was “Doing Gods Work”

Here are some fun facts for you.

This isn’t about Religion. Jesus didn’t kill people. Mohammad didn’t kill people. Buddha didn’t kill people. And I am pretty sure that none of them told anyone else to go kill people.

This isn’t about Homosexuality. Every single Gay/Bi/Trans person I have EVER met (and I have met a fair amount) has only ever wanted to love without judgement or scorn.

This isn’t about guns. If the guy didn’t have a gun, he would have used a knife, or a sword, or a car, or any other type of anything that could be used as a weapon. Yes, he wouldn’t have been able to do AS MUCH damage as he did, but he still would have done damage.

This is about hate. This is about someone who woke up one morning and DECIDED TO MURDER PEOPLE.

Think about that for a second. Someone woke up one morning. Poured their coffee, and sipped it quietly while thinking “Today I am going to Murder a bunch of other human beings.” “Today I am going to remove someones life and ruin the lives of those around them” “Today I am going to upset the natural order of the world…. Because I don’t like them”

This person woke up and decided to ruin the lives of THOUSANDS of people. Yes, he only killed 50 and hurt 50 others. But those people have family and friends that now have to carry the burden of those injuries and deaths. Everyone involved, from the club workers, to the politicians that deal with policy, to the Doctors and Police that have to clean up the mess that this person caused. This is a ripple effect that spreads far wider than just 50 people.

So much so that some random Webcomic guy in a different part of the country is affected by it and writing on the internet.

If you wake up in the morning and have the urge to Murder someone, anyone, please don’t. Think of the ripple. Think of the family, friends, and everyone else.

Then seek help. Talk to a therapist. Talk to another friend (preferably not one who also wants to murder people)
