Innocent Lives at the hands of Ignorant People

My Dear God,

Yes, it's me as usual....... I can't help it - I need to let this out. A council meeting in Kirkwood, St. Louis where Charles
Thornton, a man who they said regularly disrupted meetings to air grievances and complain -- killed five people. His brother Gerald on Thursday said he "went to war tonight with the people that were of the government." War??? I must be extremely foolish but I think this brother Gerald and his mother Annie, other brother Arthur and any other family member who defends this man's action should be watched rather closely or better yet committed to an asylum - just think that there are nine siblings.

I listened to his mother as she said "Well, I just feel like it's an act of God just like a storm or a tornado because he has gone through this for so many years but they just kept giving him tickets for every little thing they could. And with his education and knowledge and knowing the lord, I think this is one of those things." As if that was not ignorant enough, she added "Well, the ones that he shot, I guess, was the ones he felt like done him harm. That's the way I feel." GOD?????? Are you hearing this??!!!!!!! She called it an act of you. Why do you allow these ridiculous clearly insane people to pass it off on you? Do something! PLEASE!!!!!

What do you say to the families, friends and others who are looking at this in disbelief? How do they ever find comfort? How do they begin to trust that you love and care about us? Charles Thornton killed two policemen, Tom Ballman and William Biggs; council members Michael H.T. Lynch and Connie Karr; and Director of Public Works Kenneth Yost.

Mayor Mike Swoboda was hospitalized in critical condition with gunshot wounds. How can this mayor feel safe to continue in office? What is the tone of that city? Am I missing something? I am praying for those families along with the masses of people who too have sent up their prayers - please hear our cry - it's time.
