Important lessons being learned. We choose to not ignore the fact that evil exists. The best solution is not to hide from it, but confront it with strength and virtue.

Instead of trying to keep the next generation in a utopia where they trade personal responsibility for false security promised by the state, perhaps arming them for a future where they can protect themselves should be considered.

Being weak and saying you stand for non-violence is hypocritical because you do not even have the capability to be violent at all. Being strong, capable of violence but choosing to remain peaceful is true virtue.
