In Warm Blood

The bodies of the shooting victims — 20 young children and 6 adults — were still warm as they lay in their own  blood at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT when this woman, Mercedes Colwin, a lawyer and Fox News commentator, had already written a piece:

"It disturbs me greatly that literally hours after one of the worst events in modern American history, media pundits and publications like The New Yorker are politicizing the murder of kindergarten students to further their gun control agenda."

Well, Ms. Colwin, it disturbs me greatly that you would come to the defense of the gun nuts even before the blood was dry.

She goes on to write:

"Before we jump to conclusions and make this a debate about the second amendment, it appears that the shooter, Adam Lanza, borrowed his mother's guns for his heinous acts of murder. The guns were purchased legally."

Well, Ms. Colwin, I'm sure that is cold comfort to the dead. To them the facts are that Lanza did kill them quickly and efficiently with those legally purchased semi-automatic firearms ... regardless of who bought them and for what purpose.

"Killers find a way to kill" you wrote. Yes, they do and semi-automatic weapons make them very, very good at it.

It is, indeed, very cold blood that runs through your veins, Ms. Colwin. May whoever or whatever your God might be have mercy on any resemblance of any soul that you might have.

You are, Ms. Colwin, despicable ... by any measure of humanity.
