But people within the school district are working on a memorial, said Cherie Kistner, Springfield school district spokeswoman. Other sentiments against the school were also present during the conference. Our principal doesn't know how we feel. Alldredge, as well as some other students, nodded in agreement with Taylor. Perhaps the best way that we can continue to honor the memory of Mikael Nickolauson and Ben Walker is not only to continue to respect each other's right to heal in our own way at our own pace but also to continue being committed to working together for a better future.
Healing is hard work, and there is still much healing to be done.
Taylor, who knew Kinkel prior to the shooting, said she felt sorry for him but felt justice was served. I hate to see him spend the rest of his life in prison, but I guess you get what you deserve. At the end of the conference, the shooting victims expressed their satisfaction with Kinkel's sentencing by making fun of Kinkel's fear of Disney World, which he thought would take over the globe. Because you're going to prison.
