Mondays Of Madness: Mass Shootings Everywhere!

Mass shooting in Baltimore.
Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. Once you're dead.....you're dead. There's no coming back from that. I am sick and tired of the phony sympathy. We don't know these people. We don't care about this stuff. We are numb to gun violence. It's not us (yet).

We hear this time after time. I am sick of inaction from our lawmakers. I am sick of the gun lobby pushing rollbacks on laws. I am sick of hearing from lawmakers who take money from the gun lobby while offering crocodile tears.

They don't give two fucks about you losing a loved one. They don't care about your funeral costs.

You don't get free burials. You have to pay for this out of your pocket. Our American government won't supply the necessary means to help you pay for expenses lost in the wake of gun violence.

If they do, it takes years to get. Then of course, the Republicans want to say that Black and Brown families have single parent homes more than whites. You know why?

Because either cops or some random asshole is killing that Black father.

There's more racial and religious attacks in the United States. People who are Jewish, Muslim or Sikh are under attack from people who have hatred in their hearts and inspiration from far-right oddities.

I am ranting about this because this stuff is an everyday occurrence. The Gun Violence Memorial is the only thing that keeps names of individual who didn't make the national news.

The Mass Shooting Tracker does cover every mass shooting in the United States and Canada. How many mass shootings in Canada? We don't know! Because they rarely have these events.

In Baltimore, Maryland, there were eight people shot at a cookout near a church. One of the victims has died. The incident happened on Sunday in a neighborhood where children were playing.

Police commissioner Michael Harrison said that gunfire started around 5pm in west Baltimore.

A unidentified male approached the crowd on foot and began firing in what the police commissioner called, "a very tragic, very cowardly shooting."

Someone in the crowd was targeted and the terrorist managed to ambush the victims when they're at the most vulnerable.

Acting mayor of Baltimore, Jack Young said that this terrorist's act of violence was disgraceful and vow to bring those involved to justice.

"It wasn't anything dealing with the church. I want to make that very clear," said Young.

The Baltimore Police later said a man was killed, but didn't give his age. It said that five of the survivors were men from the ages of 27 to 58, and a 30 year old woman.

Cookouts were a part of community outreach. It was supposed to curb gun violence. Unfortunately, the decision to have cookouts might come into question. Those who want the status quo continue to allow gun violence to happen in Baltimore.
Mass shooting in West Chester Township, Ohio.
And the latest mass shooting happened in West Chester Township, Ohio, a boom-burb located 20 miles from Cincinnati.

The Butler County boys and West Chester Police are investigating a mass shooting inside an apartment complex. The spokesperson for the community said that this incident is terrible.

They vow to find the individuals who committed this act of violence.

"They are looking for any evidence they might find," said Barb Wilson, spokesperson for West Chester Township.

The law believe that a shooter that killed four members of a Sikh family is not among the dead.

The victims were all adults who lived there said West Chester Police chief Joel Herzog.

There were reports of a fire inside the apartment, and that came from unattended food that was being prepared at the time of the shooting. The chief said that the shooter ambushed the family during the late night and fled the state.

The only lead was a man calling 911 saying that his wife and three other family members were on the ground and bleeding. The caller hung up after dispatchers wanted to know what happened.

The terrorist are on the loose. Once caught, they will face murder charges. These charges in Maryland can carry LIFE in the iron college. These charges in Ohio can carry LIFE in the iron college or the DEATH card.

Congress of course wants gun violence to continue. Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Republicans, Democrats and the National Rifle Association will not do anything to curb gun violence.

There's got to be a mass shooting every day in the United States. Only the Poway synagogue shooting managed to get the nation's attention. All mass shootings deserve attention.

Scratch that. No mass shootings should happen in this country. But since we live in Amerikkka, that's the norm.

 GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
