I wholeheartedly agree with you, Haex. If anything, things like this should bring the Gothic community closer together--perhaps I'm being quixotic, placing such a scale for this, but it's what I firmly believe we should be doing. Then again, even if we banded together, what would that produce? Most likely nothing--we're, I suppose, considered a minority of sorts, and due to things such as Columbine and what not, we've had a bad reputation attached to the subculture. We'd most likely be ignored.
Even so, it shouldn't stop us from taking a moment to pause and mourn this terrible event. We can only hope some form of justice is served to these boys... but I wouldn't count on such a thing. I can be hopeful, though.
