It's not about justifying child murder, it's about saying these kids are better off removed from these uncaring people (again, not everyone is like this, I'm referring to the ones who actively spit on their graves for their own agenda.) They're deaths are a great loss and tragedy in and of its self, completely removed from my statement; I want to make clear that their deaths truly do sadden me and anger me.
But to distill that to just "gun zealot makes mean statement out of passion" is unfair and disingenuous to both our points. If it were my child, I would be mourning their death and lamenting what I have lost. I would do my best to attack the real source of the issue, that the sick individual (who probably had uncaring family that couldn't help them or more likely didn't bother to help them because it didn't fit into their ego) was failed by the government, the people, and the system in my getting the help they needed (speaking as someone who knows what it's like to live with mental illness.) Not flaunting my child's barely cooled corpse like some sick war banner for some deluded and unjust cause.
Bottom line, I agree I came off a bit stronger than apparently most would care to look beyond. But while I regard the death of these people a sad and traffic, what I find more horrifying is how some of their loved ones spit on their graves and memory with this disgusting display of egotism and disregard for the dead. Which makes me wonder if these people are better off not seeing the true faces of their loved ones (though I wouldn't wish them dead, just that they are at the very least removed from these dishonorable people.)
