Finally got word

[Nagi Naoe]

Okay, one of my friends is okay, though he and girlfriend are not quite recovering as well as we thought, they are still in shock. Though they went to the Ren Fair in Larkspur, he was not speaking on the matter as much as I expect from him. He's furious, he has been angry since that night about it. He was in the theater 8 and has been basically shocked at all the things he saw.

My other friend, he was on the other side of the theater and he was not even at the premier at all, he was almost as shocked, and doesn't want to talk about it. He keeps his mind on other things and it makes me a little more concerned that he is moving on too fast, because that could backlash on him.

So far, I'm pretty much part of a group that are concerned with the families. After word that some psycho group called Westboro Baptist Church said they were coming. It was basically the fact these people are freaking stupid. So a large group showed in force in Aurora to basically block the families from seeing the signs and posters. Sadly, I was not allowed to go due to work and also lack of ride, I was basically stuck running the online part and also information hub. 

I was upset on the fact though that even though I couldn't go, I was suddenly bombarded to bring information on Facebook to those who were also working it. Basically acting as a liason to the online world. Tracking the idiots from Westboro who weren't even showing, then having to listen to the news, then working from there to everything else. 

The sad part of all this is that my heart was broken at the thought of all the people who suffered and went through that hell. I'm still thinking about it, I almost lost two friends that night, and that would have hurt far worse. I lost one friend last year, and I was not about to lose anymore. 

Though the one I lost last year died on August 10th, my birthday of all things,  Belle, she died of an illness she had since childhood called Sickle Cell Anemia. Her loss was the worst, considering she would show up at the convention in extreme pain sometimes because she just wanted to have some sense of normal. 

I would have not functioned well knowing I lost two friends who died senselessly because of some idiot who was saying he was the freaking Joker. I'm pissed yes, I'm angry, yes, but seriously? I would rather this guy go to jail or get some sort of justice dumped on his head, I want this guy to realize he made people suffer and hurt, it was not fair to us or anyone else. 

So I said my peace on the matter, and I will close in saying that none of what this person did will ever be understood. None of the people who went to the movie deserved this, even if it is my worst enemy.
