I'm sitting here watching CNN as many others are today. It is horrible what took place in Parkland, Florida yesterday. Listening to interviews of students who lived through the traumatic event. Sixteen years old, Addison Jost (Addy), is talking about what transpired an she made a statement that really floored me, but didn't surprise me... She expressed that she wasn't surprised because this sorta thing is happening so much.
Would you be, really deep down, be truly surprised if it happened in your community? I know I am thankful that it hasn't in mine, but it wouldn't shock me to the extent it should if it did, and that is SAD in America!
I have sat at work and heard it on the television most of the day, hearing our leaders in our country avoid discussing "Gun Violence". This pisses me off! every time this happens, we hear this. Weeks and months go by and NOTHING happens to control any of the issues (not just gun control) that contribute in EVERY case! Then it happens again...
Something has to be done and our leaders have to quit putting the conversation of Gun Control & Mental Health on hold!
My hearts and Payers go out to all the families, friends, and community of Parkland, Florida.
