Every time I hear of another mass shooting in the US I thank my lucky stars that I don’t live there. It is inconceivable to me that some politicians can sit by and do nothing about the gun laws. In my opinion it is and until something concrete is done, a stain on the US. it’s shameful.
As someone living in another country, it would be fair to say that as more and more children and young adults are killed because of a perverse piece of legislation, we all shake our heads in horror.
I inadvertently (because I wouldn't have watched it otherwise) saw the police-cam footage on the news and felt violently ill.
How does the USA dare to call itself the moral arbiter in the world of international relations when this happens? It needs to rethink its brand.
Your post is filled with strength and I applaud your decision to become active. But I guess it will take more than words - the bulk of sane America needs to rise up big time. Awful thought but what else will it take?
My heart goes out to every single parent and grandparent and to every child who has to wrestle with terror every day they go to school. And my support is behind you as you look to find a voice in what appears to be a moral wilderness. Take care, please...
Don’t worry about writing about your cat last time. Today you have eloquently and with justifiable anger stated what is in your heart. No one seems to be able to make a change. The Israelis marched until their government retracted. Many states have banned abortions but it’s ok to shoot children in schools. Travesty.
I am 84 years old and have seen a lot over the years. Just when I think I've seen it all, we seem to hit a new low. The United States of today is not the country I knew and loved in earlier years. My question isn't so much how did this happen as it is how can we mend it - or can we.
