What really saddens me is how numb I've gotten to this violence.
My first thought after learning the situation around the shooting: "well at least this wasn't a predator targeting civilians. "
Like somehow two low life's spraying and praying at each other into a crowd flowing a dispute is somehow better than if they had planned to kill civilians at the parade. Do I actually believe the parents of kids that were shot, or the husband, kids, and parents of the woman killed in the senseless violence are somehow comforted by the lack of evil forethought.
It's disgusting that the nation ... .. well really me I guess ... has arrived at the point where the source of the violence is somehow consolation.
There has to be something we can do to stop this ridiculousness. The thought of this happening to my kids who are right in the age group of half of the victims terrifies me.
Intentionally targeted or not. Forethought or not. The impact of the bullet is the same.
Just terrible.
Can we also have them toss citizen United from the tallest building they can find while they're at it?
