62 days into 2021 and 102 mass shootings. 2019 had 417 mass shootings and as I recall there were

only 365 days that year. Missed that, didja'? Most aren't reported outside local media because they've become normalized.

Think about that. Four or more people shot, shooter not included, and it's become just a local story. What the fuck is wrong with us?

Did you know that 50 states have some form of open carry? 25 with no restrictions whatever?

The Colorado shooter (shooter my ass, mass murderer!) walked into the grocery store and if the police were called, which I assumed someone did, the response is, 'We can't do anything, it's completely legal. Like, let us know when he fires the first shot . . .'

All this insanity because 10% of voters can buy enough of the .000002% who write the laws.

All it takes for evil to prevail is for good to do nothing. Seems we're pretty damn good at doing nothing.
