You're in our thoughts and prayers. We're with you. What a tragedy. How could somebody do this? Just terrible.

Congress isn't going to do JACK SHITT about controlling guns no matter how many people are killed by guns in this country.

(63,974 posts)the lines of our Reps and Senators, keep on calling them, we don't need words we need ACTION. But we know how the NRA is paying big money to these greedy bastards. These killings are getting normalized and too frequent. It's either guns or adopting ISIS practices using vehicles as killing machines. This is not the price of freedom this putting fear into people lives.

(63,974 posts)our mental capacity is being bombarded, taunted and being abused, didn't Naomi Klein mention this in the Shock Doctrine. All these events can be mentally exhausting on a daily basis. This is going by the dictator's handbook, pick any dictator. Easy to say but we must remain steadfast and focused.
Plus I hate all this disrespect we are getting from these filthy greedy repigs to demolish our social programs such as healthcare and all essential safety nets which were in place for a number of years also gutting government agencies. Sorry if I'm off topic.
