For the last day or so, TD has had a most weird feeling..........and I do not know why.
Do you remember the name Thomas Hamilton ?
Thomas Hamilton was a loner, a mature man who had had an unhappy childhood, was not particularly succesful in his life
or work.
His passion was guns, and he had a collection, all legal, properly licensed and registered.
He used to go to a gun club ( again properly regulated ) and pop off at targets..........he was a very good shot, won trophys
and prizes, but always a bit unpopular with his club mates.
One day Thomas Hamilton got a bit frustrated with target shooting, so that day twelve years ago he went into the primary
school in Dunblane, entered a class full of wee ones and shot them all dead, along with their teacher.
As he took all these lives, he was laughing.
These little ones and this teacher slaughterd.
He then turned his gun on himself, and ended his own life.
Thus ended the short, happy life of Thomas Hamilton.
I have no connection with that event, but for a reason that I cannot understand, I just cannot get it out of my mind....and I
cannot think of anything else to speak about.
