Dec 2015

My op was directed at liberals/repubs/moderates/libertarians/media etc.

I am just sick of the attention,apologizing,rationalizing,nit picking that goes on
concerning the "politicizing" that always happens after a tragic event like this (from ALL sides)

So very little concern is paid to the actual VICTIMS of these crimes. I was just much more
frustrated at the liberal base because we pride ourselves on caring and compassion. You have to admit,
over 1200 views, and barely 30 legitimate replies expressing remorse for the victims is pretty lame.
