everything's a conspiracy

As I walked along the High Street towards Bus Stop this morning - marvelling at the skill of walking, I mean, I'm like a tiny Russian hamster on a ginormous wheel, keeping the world turning - I realised why some people take a tragic event and turn it into the biggest conspiracy theory the world has ever known Don't misunderstand me; I'm one of those conspiracy theorists. However, I tend to take things at face value, allow the dead to be buried and the dust to settle before looking for the evidence. And even I know that Diana was not killed by the royal family ... *much rolling of eyes* Within hours {minutes?} of yesterday's tragic mass killing in Las Vegas, the internet was awash with conspiracies. It's a false flag! What are the government hiding? The CIA brainwashed him into doing It! Doesn't he look like that 'crisis actor' from Sandy Hook? Who knows, maybe they're right, but it's far too early to speculate and we should allow time for families to grieve before blaming anyone but a middle-aged man having a mental breakdown. Because that's what it boils down to, isnt It? We can't believe or understand why or how someone could do something so atrocious. It scares us. The perpetrator could be your next door neighbour, or the chap you nod to every morning at the train station. It could be your colleague, Vanessa, the one who bakes all the cakes for the staff room {in hindsight, you have to admit that there was something odd about her, eh? All those cats. Two ex-husbands. No kids. Very religious. Collected vintage dolls. Loved watching thrillers,} or your cousin's son's best friend's dad's old school friend's GPs nephew, the one who everybody adored. People don't do that! Our little brains can't handle the very simple idea that someone can flip and commit such horror, despite history being littered with evil people and tragic events. So we make excuses. We put the blame elsewhere. Poor Las Vegas. *sad face*
