Wow, have you seen Devons recent post talking about Dylan? It’s so sad.

As a survivor, I live every day with thinking what I could have done differently. Having been friends with a murderer, how did I fail? How did my actions or inactions lead to the murder of my friends? Could I have told Dylan I loved him and would that have stopped him? What if I had spent more time with him? What if I had swallowed my fear and dislike of Eric?

What if what if what if? My rational brain says that it’s highly unlikely that I would have had any effect on what happened. But I still march. And I still speak out. And I spend every April 20th practising and advocating for kindness. I can’t live in regret, I can only use my experience to press forward.

Stop victim blaming. And stop discouraging social discourse – especially about difficult subjects like the senseless murder of children. Protest, activism, and awareness are not mutually exclusive to kindness and compassion.Walk out.
