National Emergency
I spent too much time on Thursday reading about and listening to the parents who lost a child at the Parkland school on 02/14/18.
Kids shot to death.
Know what has changed since that day?
Bump stocks.
Everything else is set up for it all to happen again.
I don’t even want to bring up the number of shootings since then. Suffice to say that a whole lot of people were shot.
One of the kid’s mothers wrote a long recap of how horrific that day was for her and her husband and son.
Every day since has been horrific for all of them.
Her husband went to the White House for the “listening” session. In the days immediately following the shooting there was hope that the ball would get rolling.
“They’re going to make changes,” Kathy had said when they were all in front of Trump.
“Nothing will change,” I said.
“The kids are going to make the difference.”
Unfortunately, that’s not how it played out...
...some of those children were actually pretty roughed up in social media circles.
Here’s the thing...
...it won’t end for those poor people now that the Anniversary has passed.
Those parents children died.
And no one did a damn thing about it.
Want to know what really irks me about it?
A lot of those no-action politicians sent out Bible verses...
...again they offered thoughts and prayers.
Why don’t they just save those prayers?
Use them to pray for the wall.
