8. Thanks, just switched to CNN. n/t

9. This is what America is all about

Disasters do occur, but that's when people come out to help however they can.

[pangaia]

16. Not America.. it is what human beings are about... good ones, everywhere on the planet..

[GulfCoast66]

27. This was not a disaster. Hurricanes and earthquakes are disaster.

This was murder most foul caused by republican ginned up hate and made possible by republican gun laws. Or lack thereof.

11. How many maga hats will you see in that line? They break, we have to fix.

[zackymilly]

12. Wish I was there to donate. I have AB- n/t

[Delmette2.0]

17. Find your local Red Cross

There is a nationwide donor shortage.

[Skittles]

25. zackmilly, just so you know

the blood banks would very much prefer your platelets

[lpbk2713]

13. They're good people.

It might be their way of saying "my El Paso isn't like that".

I remember there were crowds like that in Orlando after the shooting there.
My daughter wanted to drive 60 miles to donate but the news reports said
they had enough.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. Everyone who can should donate in their home town. There is always a need.

[Lisa0825]

15. "Look for the helpers."

[calimary]

23. YES. "Look for the helpers." Simple advice, but so wise. And possibly life-saving.

Watching the pizza guy passing slices out, and seeing the bottled water donations, that kind of thing shows you there are still angels in our midst.

A comfort, however small, to know those gestures haven't died out completely.

[rurallib]

18. !!! Thank you folks !!!

And now I am crying as we just got a note from a young friend in El Paso that he is OK.

[SamKnause]

19. Fucking A !!!

[Thekaspervote]

20. And..of course silence from the despicable dotard

[warmfeet]

21. That's nice, but it doesn't fix anything.

We have been broken for a very long time. There are many, many caring, empathetic individuals in the good old U.S.A. There are many, many uncaring assholes in the U.S.A. The orange asshole worshipers are a symptom of our broken society. I have no confidence that it can be repaired, at this point. Prove me wrong. Please prove me wrong!

[calimary]

24. Just remember, many of them are the same jerks who claim they're "pro-life."

But they're okay with this domestic terrorism because heaven forbid somebody keep us from getting guns.

[yaesu]

22. I've been hiking all day, only listened to can music while in the car so I don't have any idea

what happened until I checked DU, I haven't been to the news section yet but it sounds like the fascists will be doing their hopes and prayers again.

[Skittles]

26. nice but I really wish more people would just donate regularly

THEY are the ones whose donated blood is going into the victims right now

[applegrove]

28. That is so touching.
