Senseless

An 18-year-old Hispanic man walked into Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas yesterday, an opened fire, killing 19 students and 2 teachers. It was a tragic, bewildering, confusing act of violence. The natural reaction to tragedy like this is to want to do something, anything, so we don’t feel so powerless, so vulnerable. And on que, before the authorities had even been able to identify all the victims and notify their families, the usual cavalcade of virtue signalers stepped up to exploit and politicize the tragic deaths of these young people.

Barack Obama said, “our country is paralyzed, not by fear, but by a gun lobby and a political party that have shown no willingness to act in any way that might help prevent these tragedies… It’s long past time for action, any kind of action.”

President Joe Biden stated, “When in God’s name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?… Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone? … It’s time to act.”

Vice President Kamala Harris responded by saying, “we have to have the courage to take action… to ensure something like this never happens again.”

Director Rob Reiner issued a statement claiming, “The blood of every child that dies of gun violence in this country is on the hands of the Republican Party.”

Actress Alyssa Milano tweeted, “F*ck the GOP and their obsession with guns.”

Filmmaker Michael Moore said, “it’s time to repeal the 2nd amendment.”
