Mass Murders

Another Mass Murder Incident, This Time At Michigan State, On Anniversary Of Parkland, Florida Massacre In 2018!

Sadly, the night before the five year anniversary of the Parkland (Marjory Stoneman Douglas) High School, Florida Massacre, Michigan State University witnessed a gunman kill three and wound five others, and at this point, gun massacres are totally out of control!

There have been 67 Gun Massacres in just 44 days at this writing, and no solution, as Congress will not do anything to stop the carnage!

So our children in these two cases, plus the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre in Connecticut in 2012, and the Uvalde, Texas Elementary School Massacre in May 2022, and innumerable others just add to the tragedy with no end!

And this is not even considering gun massacres that take place in every other possible, conceivable venue across American society!

We have more firearms than people in this nation, and the danger is not just what we see, but the potential for widespread right wing terrorism, leading to civil war all over America, and creating a very dangerous situation on the world scene, as well as domestically!

Republican Party Claims To Be Party Of Life, While It Is Instead Party Of Death!

The Republican Party has, clearly, become the Party of Death, as they show no concern about the COVID 19 Pandemic, and the need to promote masking and vaccination, as more than 750,000 Americans have died from the virus!

The Republican Party also worships guns, and has worked against any kind of gun regulations, despite mass murders going on in schools, churches and synagogues, entertainment events, shopping centers, colleges and universities,and all other public venues.

Additionally, suicides have become endemic, with no concern about people with mental instability, and even children, having access to firearms, including AK 47s and AR 15s!

Also, the Republican Party has no concern about the poverty and deprivation of people who are not wealthy, and particularly so with racial and religious minorities, so we have single mothers who cannot provide adequately for their children!

Republicans also have always been against providing health care to those less fortunate, which demonstrates they do not value life! As a group, they have opposed Medicare and the Affordable Care Act!

Their only interest in “life” is that every fetus must be born, even if the pregnant woman was raped, or a victim of incest, and there is no concern about the dangers to the life of the mother!

And of course, Republicans love the death penalty, even though it is often misused, and particularly against males of color on a much higher scale than whites!

And Republicans love to support wars, as long as it is primarily the poor and minorities who are “cannon fodder” for the “war machines”, and very few of them or their offspring ever serving in the military!

Gun Violence Escalates In 2021!

From January 2021 to yesterday, April 20, these are the statistics on Gun Violence:

12,882 Gun Deaths

Isn’t this enough for action by Congress, and to prevent continued massive loss of lives?
