I hope these people suffer just like the families of the victims and know their pain. It just makes me sick to see how far we as a species still have to go in humility.  |
I tend to avoid Twitter, Youtube, and other quick type commenting places. It's the new home of the worst sort of people.

The CNN thing was on TV. But I imagine that someone probably posted it to youtube.

The Media likes to portray a world on the brink of the 'worse times ever' when the truth may not be so..

I think Chicago, where the current President lived has extraordinary gun crime.

Isn't that the Donald Trump theory? I was going through channels and heard people talking about how it would literally be the Wild West letting people carry guns in bars. I've met people that wouldn't even be alive today if the other person was armed with a gun.
The simple fact is there are people in America who love guns. I believe it was that actor from Planets of the Apes that said something like you'll never take this gun from my hands or something like that. Honestly you could have a shooting everyday, and in many cases there are, and Americans would still want their guns.
And not to make light of a bad situation. But I believe in the Predator 2 situation. It should never become that bad.
