   Well Isaac, I was expecting you.  Indeed, I thought of you yesterday.   
      
   So you're 24 or 25 now, and you thus would have been 10 or 11 when your   
   father killed those people.  Half your life has gone by while he's been   
   in prison.  I thought you were a bit younger, based on some old   
   newspaper article.   
      
   But it's significant, the day your father shot those people I was   
   with someone who was eight at the time, basically your age.  She   
   went to Dawson, but luckily she graduated a couple of years ago.   
      
   But here's the thing.  YOu could almost have been one of those   
   people running out of that building yesterday.  You could almost have   
   been one of those people shot, or the woman who died.  You are basically   
   their peers.  Indeed, it's conceivable that you have friends who   
   are still attending Dawson, or maybe your younger brother, and they   
   could have been shot or killed as easily as those who were.   
      
   ANd that means you should have learned something from yesterday.  You   
   were likely too young to grasp it all when your father killed those   
   people in 1992, but now you are an adult, and get to see a similar   
   situation relived in front of you.  SOmeone uncaring of human life   
   decides to shoot people, gets a gun, goes to a school and shoots away,   
   not caring who he hurts or kills.  Those running out of Dawson, and those   
   shot are in effect you and your peers, which in any decent person would bring   
   things home far more than an even that happened when you were 10 years old.   
      
   As you watch the news think about it very carefully, and meditate on   
   the effect the shooting has on the people shot, the people near them,   
   the people who escaped, and the relatives and friends of those shot   
   and killed.  Think about the fear those people at Dawson must have   
   felt on Wednesday, when they thought they might be the next one to   
   be shot, and not knowing what was going to happen next.   
      
   Think about how awful it would be if the killer lived and then   
   proceeded to declare that he didn't do anything wrong, showing   
   a complete lack of remorse for those who had died.  Think about how   
   awful it must be for the relatives to keep hearing about the killer   
   of their family members, and know he is just flaunting himself while   
   he seems to have a pretty good life in prison, while their loved ones   
   don't have a life anymore.   
      
   So do you promote the killer of Wednesday?  KNowing the damage he had   
   done, knowing that he was an uncaring person in the end?   
      
   And then you apply all that to your father the killer.  If you see   
   Wednesday's killer as something bad, and I don't see how any decent   
   person can see him in any other way, then you have to start seeing   
   your father the killer in the same way.  Because in the things that   
   matter, your father the killer is no different from Wednesday's killer.   
   And if anyone can give consideration to murderers, I doubt they can   
   find anything of value in your father the killer or Wednesday's killer.   
   Both killed because they wanted to.   
      
   14 years after your father the killer committed his murders, far in the past   
   given your age, it's time for you to treat him as the killer he is, and   
   stop posting his junk for him.  You owe him nothing, he abandoned you   
   when he decided to kill people.   
      
   I once said he likely bullies you to post his junk.  I still say that   
   may be the case.  But you are older now, and need to make your life   
   away from him.  There are places you can go to deal with his bullying,   
   and of course you have an advantage over others since he's locked in   
   jail (and for at least another 12 years) and you are free.  Take   
   that freedom, and and cut off any influence he has over you.  He   
   is a murderer and doesn't care about those he killed or those   
   who suffered, and doesn't care about you.
