2009 - Good riddance

While many good things happened in 2009 - the kid growing up for one and the babies born for another - not to mention Griffey coming back to the Mariners. I am saying good riddance to 2009. I hope to NEVER have another year like this year - not even the whole year though, from October 31st until December 29th - just under two months. The reason??? In less than two months we have had SIX Law Enforcement Officers murdered. Six. In two months. A friend asked me how I was, as she knows this is hard on me. It is, I don't know if it's because we grew around civil servants, my dad is a retired Seattle Fireman and we would spend hours at the station around his station family and cops were always there. My pain over these SIX murders is nothing compared to the LE community, their friends and family and especially the THIRTEEN children that has lost a parent. No more. No more in 2010.

EOW 11.29.09

My last post was on the murder of SPD Officer Tim Brenton. This post is the same, X4. Yes we had FOUR Officers murdered on Sunday. It's just about unbearable and I don't even know any of them or their families.
I have nothing to offer them except my profound sadness. This does not help race relations for me and they weren't great to begin with. I view it as me/us vs. them. The mentality of what they, the killer and those that helped him, is that of an animal. I feel sick and heartbroken.
Thankfully a hero SPD was able to protect his life and shot the gunman like the animal he is. I am thrilled but it does nothing to ease the grief the families and NINE father and motherless children feel. I wish there was a hell that they all could burn in. To their supporters: do not go to court in support of these animals. It won't bode well for you. Do us humans a favor and just go away forever. They don't care about the deep pain they have caused - they are not human beings. Want proof of that pain check out mynorthwest.com or Seattletimes.com to see pictures of the devastation they helped to cause. I'd post them here but don't feel it's my place to do so.
