Once upon a time
a child died.
And then another,
and another,
The Citizenry decided it happened to often to fix,
They offered their thoughts and prayers to stop this tragedy.
This is how the world ended,

1. And children die in some countries all the time from malnutrition, and the rest of

the world does very little. Some of us try harder than others, but overall humans tend to be not as humanitarian as we should be.

3. It's by design. They want their people heavily armed and paranoid

to inflict pain on the rest of us.

It seriously sucks to be a kid in school right now, or to be a parent of kids in school. Shootings happen anywhere but it hurts a bit harder when it's small elementary school kids.

4. So that's why we should share the pain.

When you stand by guns, you stand WITH this.

Period.

5. Some people said "thoughts and prayers" and others said "why bother... we don't have the votes"

Both equally destructive.
