Enough already [View all]
The killing of Charlie Kirk yesterday was horrible. I’m sorry it happened and I hope his killer is apprehended and brought to justice
But…. something about the coverage of this story bothers me. Trump ordered the flag at half staff. Apparently Kirk’s body is being flown home on Air Force 2. The story is being covered 24/7. Major politicians who have refused comments on other important events can’t get to a microphone fast enough.
Hundreds and hundreds of people have been killed with a gun over the last few years. Many of them were children. I don’t remember a single one of them going home on Air Force 2. Or in a VP motorcade. What exactly are we doing right now?
I’m still thinking of all the other gun violence victims, and all the sweet children at Sandy Hook….children who didn’t spread hate. Children who didn’t get the hero treatment from certain politicians.
