My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of violence in El Paso, Dayton, and also Chicago where 47 were shot over the weekend with 5 fatalities. We must address the mental health crisis in this country.
How sad that Saoirse Kennedy Hill found nothing to live for and took her own life as well.

It's difficult to keep up Alec. The pro gun people in the US will blame anything they can except the root of the problem. It's difficult to shoot someone with a banana. So far I've heard, lack of prayer in classrooms, lack of discipline in raising kids, video games, hearts without god....it's an endless list of empty excuses.
IMO, it comes down to politicians being bought and paid for who are not there to represent what people want but to perform and execute for the highest bidder, justice by auction. Until that part of the equation is solved absolutely nothing will change other than the constantly increasing death toll.
Didn’t even know about the Chicago one. 😶 Still overwhelmed by the El Paso and Dayton. Had already forgotten about the 31 May mass shooting in Virginia Beach, Va.
Other western countries have mental illness, video games & atheism. But they have almost no mass shootings.
What does the US have that is different? Hmm… could it be the mass supply of easily accessible high-power firearms?
This is a national security issue. White nationalists are terrorists, pure & simple.
Crime isn't coming from immigrants. It's coming from white men.
