If two boys open fire in a high school, killing several and wounding many others, I feel their actions should not be forgiven. If this were to happen at Batesville High School it is likely I would know the people who were killed or wounded. It is also likely that I might know the shooters. Whenever a shooting like this occurs, it is almost always students from that school doing the shooting. Because I would know all of those involved, I would not be able to separate my grief from my need to blame someone. Somehow, by extending forgiveness, there would be no one left to blame. I know, in my mind, every sin is able to be forgiven but when it involves someone I know my heart needs to place blame in order to deal with the tragedy.
