Wall Posts- all in memory of a bad day

It was a bad day. Lost my cool, wrote my words, felt compelled regardless of opposition to push the envelope of culpability. We know who, and why he did it. We know one side blames the other, I blame both- but the one thing I won't blame is the right to voice any opinion. And that is where the trouble lies. It has already been purposed that hate speech and radical discourse push this poor boy into action. It's the words. It's the gun. He's a victim. Why not him? He did it on his own accord. Period. Must we be bullied into verbal submission afraid of tipping these kinds? All shut up in fear of some one lunatic might take offense at WORDS?
We must teach our children the oldest adage of responsible behavior- back to your youth folks:

Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.
An adolescent truth no longer in fashion. Words kill now- not bullets. This idiot most likely has been taught words kill and thus the need of retaliation.
I apologizes for my spillage of emotion, but not for the implied intent of those words. I stand behind how I feel and what I say.
