Chapter 24-Sandy Hook Elementary, Newtown, CT

Send us Fan MailThe best chapter. The toughest chapter. The most gut wrenching chapter. Told through the eyes of a children's entertainer, a slight man from the UK who loves everyone, children especially. He knew them; he's entertained them; he loved them. And they loved him too. A NOTE: I cry while reading this chapter; I have not removed it. Nor will I. Ever."Somehow this has become routine! The reporting is routine, my response, here at this podium ends up being routine, the conversation in the aftermath of it, we've become numb to this. We talked about this after Columbine and Blacksburg, after Tucson, after Newtown, after Aurora, after Charlestown. It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun."  President Obama, 10/01/2015, after Umpqua Community College shooting
