Thought provoking

Hate is becoming the norm in our country. In fact, many people right at the top seem to encourage hatefulness and violence as long as it is aimed at the "right" people.

Listening to today's nonstop news I have to wonder if there would have been so much coverage if the shooter had been in a poor neighborhood park, or at a Jewish synagogue, or Muslim mosque?

This happened to American royalty in their own neighborhood playing America's sacred sport.

These people believed that they were safe from this sort of act.

All people should have that same security.

Once the people who make the laws start being touched by the same life problems the rest of us deal with perhaps they will feel differently about the laws they pass and do not pass.

Romanticizing today's tragedy will not fundamentally change what is wrong in our country, but possibly it will open a few more doors.
