US Mass Shootings, 1982-2019: Data From Mother Jones’ Investigation
oh what a tangled mess we’ve weaved
now a nation grieves
we offer prayers, while asking why
to an empty sky
raining terror down on our heads
as we count the dead
we’ll blame some other foe instead
of looking at our own dark hearts
admitting that we played a part
now a nation grieves to an empty sky as we count the dead

So sad that politicians do nothing to remove guns from circulation.

They will never learn, too much money involved in arms 💜

Too true.
Aug 04, 2019 @ 20:19:54
Yes indeed 💜

Thank you for the reblog Willow. This is all so sad. By the middle of the week everyone will have moved on from this latest tragedy…to the next bit of news for the day 😢

It’s all so bloody wrong, why is life so cheap, why 😭

Sorry I swore 💜💜💜
Aug 04, 2019 @ 21:35:57
This is a swear worthy situation!
Aug 04, 2019 @ 21:36:55
Sadly it is 🙁

Well done, Kat!
And thanks for sharing this, Willow.
They can’t do a damn thing until the NRA loses some of its power. And that ain’t gonna happen any time soon,

Yes thanks to Kat indeed. Sadly I agree the NRA seem to old sway. Too much money in guns! When will they ever learn. 😟💜

It’s unbelievable, the state of things now…. Not safe to be out in public anymore. 😣💔
Aug 07, 2019 @ 19:41:25
No indeed the world is evil 💜💜💜
Aug 07, 2019 @ 19:58:29
I think the evil among us is in the minority but unfortunately it’s in the hands of the rich and powerful who then influence the non-thinkers and incite violence. T. is like a cult leader here with followers who will do anything he says. It’s surreal….

Yes, it always amazes me that evil holds so much sway especially as you say it is the minority. As for T he is really bad news ! It’s unbelievable that he holds so much power over the masses? 💜

Believe it or not, it’s only a minority who support him. The only reason he won the last election was because of election tampering and cheating on all levels. He continues to invite foreign help and I fear he’ll win again – even though the majority can’t stand him. Our democracy is being corrupted. 😟
Aug 07, 2019 @ 20:10:22
It’s scandalous really and like you I fear he will win again, he is curreupt and nothing bad sticks to him he seems to shrug it all off ?
Aug 07, 2019 @ 20:24:21
Yes, he has his loyal cronies catering to him and protecting him. And the Republican party is afraid to stand up to him, afraid he’ll tweet lies about them (which he always does to anyone not agreeing with him). It’s unbelievable.
Aug 07, 2019 @ 21:48:24
He is like a petulant child who no one dates to stand up to !
Aug 07, 2019 @ 22:00:55
Exactly!
