48. Hyperbole much?

May 2014

I don't own a gun; I'm just trying to inject a little common sense into this subject.

I am not indifferent to anyone's suffering. I feel the utmost compassion for ALL the victims in this tragedy--including those killed/injured by ER's knife and car, which seem to be completely overlooked in all the frothing at the mouth over the fact that he ALSO used a gun.

Deserve no respect???????? For my opinion???????? Wow.

(BTW, I think the word you were attempting to use was "decent." "Descent" has a much different meaning. Just saying.)
