1. It's all so heartbreaking

And what’s worse..it will not end

2. Sorry Eric, But We Do

It's time to simply admit that THIS IS WHO WE ARE.

THIS IS AMERICA. Quit trying to deny it, or tell us that something is going to change. It Isn't.

4. I had the same reaction.

We do have to live like this. We decided as a society long ago that mass shootings were an acceptable price to pay for the right of every Tom, Dick, and Crazy to own an arsenal.

This is what we signed up for.

5. He did not say "This is not who we are", he said "We don't have to live like this"

You are correct, "THIS IS WHO WE ARE", a very screwed up society, a very violent society, a very ignorant society and this is why these things happen.

People take politics as a sport, they celebrate that "their team" won an election without looking at the consequences, and until people become more educated, nothing is going to change.

8. But We Do Have To Live Like This

With the Filibuster, and a Right Wing Radical Supreme Court, this problem is not going away for a LONG, LONG Time. If it ever does.

6. This is what SOMEONE is doing IN America. This is NOT America.

Let's not label ourselves by our worst people or worst events. We are not what we are called. We are only what we answer to.

We don't have to live like this. But we have to pay attention to those who try to convince us we have to live like this. Who are THEY.

3. We. don't. Have. To. Live. Like. This.

So true.

7. The first time I heard about a mass shooting was the ...

shooting at a McDonalds in San Ysidro in 1984.

At that time I kept saying, this is not national news, because I felt there would be copy-cats.

Sure enough more and more people are not committing mass shootings.

I will post this every time there is another mass shooting.

9. Thanks for that.
