This is beyond comprehension!!!

grandma petes — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 22:56:21 GMT

Sadly, we had a fatal school shooting in our community on Wednesday. It happened in a small community a few miles away. What happened while the events were unfolding is so completely beyond comprehension it's hard to put into words.

As the parents were gathering outside the school, there was two individuals that broke into the cars, stealing credit cards and went on a $36,000 shopping spree. Even as I write this, it is still so hard to wrap my brain around how anyone could stoop so low as to rob those that were facing a tragic loss such as this. Just when you think you have seen the worst in people, something like this happens and you realize just how evil people can be.

The entire community is coming together to help all those affected by the sadness. I hope the culprits are found and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Continued prayers for all.

I think I know what shooting you're speaking of. I live on the other side of the state.

It's such a heartbreaking situation, and on top of it, for that to happen in is really incomprehensible, as you said!

I have no words.

@grandma petes, its just unimaginable. I hope there were some sort of security cameras in use at the school or where the shopping spree's went on and that the perps get caught.

I'm with you, just when you think you have heard it all, nope. Some fool sinks even lower.

First the shooting is terrible, what low life humans to take advantage.

The shooting was in my state, too. I hadn't heard that news about the credit card thefts. That's just awful.

I know this is off topic, but it reminded me of a neighbor teen who was being raised by his dad. I befriended him because I felt badly for him. He was at my home frequently. I would have him come over after school for a snack and someone to talk to. He stole my wallet and went on a shopping spree. I was so hurt......

@nana59, I'm so sorry you were taken advantage of like that.

@grandma petes The article I read said suspect(s) (they don't know if it was one or two), one car, one victim, $36K in cashed checks and credit cards charges.

Who knows if the suspect(s) knew it was the car of a concerned parent? I think she/they saw an opportunity (a purse left in the car) and took advantage.

So while she/they are horrible human beings, the details are a little different than presented.

Thankfully, they have camera footage from various stores where they did the charging. Hopefully someone knows them and does the right thing and turn them over to authorities. Unbelievable. The whole community is in shock...then this....but I'm sure that the healing will begin because of the kindness of a tight knit community.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully your kindness will come back to his heart and help him be a decent adult.

Actually, they knew the cars were the parents because they were parked all over around the school. The news was reporting it as breaking news. That many cars were not the usual for any given day. They are looking for two suspects. It was just updated on our local news.

@grandma petes- Hi, what a horrible experience that must have been. I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, along with your community. I certainly hope they catch the perpetrators. Sometimes we just have to think about the good in our lives, because otherwise we get pulled down by all the negative experiences we go through and hear about.

I hope you can enjoy your weekend, and please say hi to Grandpa Petes.

Hugs, Sunny

In this day and age nothing shocks me anymore, too many feel "entitled". Why? Unless a person has had their heads in the sand, it doesn't take much to figure it out.

Morals/shame, embarrassment, no longer exists in a lot of society. I have always loved animals, and this even makes that stronger than what I feel for the human race. There is no "bottom" any longer, it is now subterranean.

People who would do that are just plain thugs. They were never taught right from wrong, have no empathy. and no conscience.

I'll never understand those who prey upon others during times of crisis.

Think it's becomming time for some tougher laws. Get through the courts fast and move them on to tougher places to live out their lives. Now, they get food, lodging, t.v., phone computers. They're on vacation!!! They just don't get to take in the countryside. Come on!

At the same sad time Spokane and surrounding communities have really rallying monetary support for The Rockford/ Freeman Families .
