Video: Witness to the shooting "Life can be a beautiful thing"

Very powerful interview to a witness to the shooting - only 5 minutes long but worth it!  CNN interviews Chris Ramos who was there during the shooting and has some profound things to say:

“It’s a hard thing to get over, but it’s definitely not impossible. And I can’t change what happened at all, but the only thing that I can change is what is happening now. I know 12 to 14 people — I don’t know the exact number — they passed away. Their lives have been taken away. And the fact that a guy that was right next to me got shot, I don’t know how he is, but the fact that it missed me? I am thankful that I have a second life and I definitely don’t want the take it for granted.
But I know that there is evil in the world. I’m not naive about that. There is evil in the world but there is good. The one thing that I want people to know and the main message that I want to get across is not to forget that. To remember the good times of life and the beautiful things. And don’t just remember the horrible things about life because life can be a beautiful thing. We just have to be strong and overcome the evilness.
Like the movie of Batman. The true message of it? Standing up against corruption, against evil, against death. Standing up. Normal citizens just standing up to what is right. It’s ironic that that happened but that is basically the message that the Batman movies give out. Standing up for something that is right and ‘Even though the times get hard, the darkness is always darkest before the dawn.’ The second movie, that is what it said. It is exactly like this.”
