riddle me this... only, not so humourous

seriously. what is going on? i would love the person who can answer this question for me. love you, and hate you. cause i probably wont like your responce.

over the last week, American news reports have covered:
1. two cops shot in Lakeland, Florida when they pulled a man over for speeding. a full swat search ensued through the swampy, marshy land- i dont think they found him.
2. A 32- year old man enters an AMISH one-room schoolhouse. he orders the boys to leave. and shoots the girls- execution style. the fifth girl died of injuries early this morning. what an invasion of rights and privacy for the secluded community. i suppose i can safely say that they are not so secluded anymore.
3. A teenager is spotted in Las Vegas with a gun- and two schools- including an elementary school- are locked down. how do you explain that to your seven year old?
4. A man takes six girls hostage in a school in Colorado- does who knows what with them- kills one of the girls before shooting himself.
5. A 15-year old kid killed his head teacher in Wisconsin.

All within one week.


I dont even know what to say. My heart is so heavy. I read about prisoners being dumped for drowning in rivers in Burundi, about horrible human rights violations of orphans in the to-be-accepted EU state of Romania--about these states that do not have justice and who hide their problems.
and then, about this- in America. are we any better? what of the terrorist torture laws that have been up for passing? what of the human rights violations in the slaughtering of the unborn-- they might as well be orphans for the love their parents give them.
What are we to do? Where are we to go? In this world of globalisation- there is no escape.
we are all the same.

corrupt state.
corrupt people.

my heart is heavy. yet i cannot weep.
