There is nothing else to say on the matter. Because it’s true. And we can’t do a thing about it until we change the administration, which involves a lot of other things first. Holding the line. Protest. Email. Speaking up.

I do care. Our (white, mentally ill) son blew his head off with an illegal gun. Don’t think I don’t care. I’m sick and I’m numb. Yet another one this morning, in a church, in Michigan. A Mormon temple. And who did it? <checks watch> You know who did it. I don’t even have to look it up.

Cops shot him. Thoughts and prayers from fellow conservatives. Outrage from liberals. The Right cries for mental health, not gun control, except there’s never any mental health money, so turn the page.

Cynical? Yeah. Nothing changes.
