I am ashamed. I am one of those emotional Mama Bear types whose first reaction to the news that Nikolas Cruz – the mass murderer in the Parkland school shooting – was captured alive is to think up the most painful, slow ways this little bastard could be taken out of society. I imagined my children in that school. I saw them hiding in a closet or under desks, trembling in fear, unprotected, and disarmed, and I wanted Cruz to suffer.

And then I read Jenny’s Victory Girls post.
