11. Still Makes Me Angry

Mon May 4, 2020, 08:45 AM

May 2020

It amazes and infuriates me to this day......who authorized using real bullets on those kids? You would have to think it had to have been the Governor Jim Rhodes.

I was friends with a few women up there, was relieved they were OK but feel for those ruthlessly gunned down. It was criminal, plain and simple.

Years later a lawsuit was settled but it wasn’t enough. That was first degree murder as I see it.

We must never forget.
