Ok, some advise learned after 911

In the next few days we will go through the same emotions, rage, pain, anger...being depressed, wondering about inhumanity and all that. This is perfectly normal.

We will want to get the bastid or bastids. This makes us, as a population, easy to manipulate, and make no mistake...there are forces that would like to.

We all have theories, trust me, I have shared them with a few, but shan't go public. I will, not so patiently, wait for actual hard news.

Of all that comes out, be aware of your surroundings, any suspicious call 911, but tonight hug your family...

To those directly affected, hugs...we all wish we could do more.

Reminds me of the manipulation after Sandy Hook? Don't you agree.

If you want to make it about sandy hook. There were families of Sandy Hook there.

And by the way, I am in favor, always have been, of sensible gun control measures. But them again, I have walked into scenes like sandy hook, where blood is up to my ankles.
