Another mass shooting…
And what will we do about it? The United States of America is the only place where this happens. Why? Because we have a do-nothing congress and a GOP who worship at the feet of the gun lobby. Just read this morning that the dems as a whole figure that nothing can be done. We do have Chris Murphy raising hell, though. And Biden who asks the question, “Why do we put up with this carnage?” why indeed.
This morning I was in tears. Last night I just felt sick and couldn’t sleep with the images of those poor children on my mind. What I wonder about is, how a person can do it? I can understand anger making you shoot one person, but to open fire and see children falling to the ground, bleeding? It is so horrific that I can barely wrap my head around it. This is a growing inability to feel anything but anger that has been fed by Fox news. Heard that Chuck Schumer called Roger Ailes a week or so ago and asked him to take this hate mongering off Fox — specifically, Tucker Carlson. But is an eighteen-year-old listening to the radio? How does a person reach this level of numbness? Texas laws are not there at all when it comes to carrying a gun. And I am sick and tired of listening to the rhetoric that ‘Guns don’t kill people, people do.’ The mentally ill and depraved should not be allowed to buy them.
