So What

What?! Today, in America, another mass shooting! OMG cause this one happened in a Baptist Church. A local community member of the town said this will change our community forever. Of course from Trump to Texas officials, thoughts and prayers were shared. Those words usually summarize the extent by which any government involvement will be shared. If it's a local guy, a white guy, it will be just one more crazy guy who while crazy was permitted to purchase is weapon of death. If it happens to be a dark-skinned guy, either a Muslim or even a Black person, then more will be said, and it will no longer be a madman but be called an act of terrorism. More innocent people died today in Texas, but hey, we have the Second Amendment and didn’t Jesus, himself help write the Constitution.

One more mass shooting, the talking heads have all kinds of ideas about the motive. One more mass shooting and the Cable news networks are peppering their viewers with how could this happen. One more mass shooting and we have a while bunch of thoughts and prayers, but absolutely nothing else. 


In America 2017, it's okay to deny free speech, and freedom of the press, but it AIN’T no darn good to even mention changing the 2nd Amendment. The GOP insists that abortions are evil, The Evangelicals insist that Gays are the Devil. The Republicans call themselves the Party of Life. Nothing to be said about guns, and the people who use them. Today, one more mass shooting in America, so what?
