| Nothing has changed since the Dayton mass shooting. |
Two back-to-back mass shootings.
The need for gun reform was ignored by Donald J. Trump, Republicans and the National Rifle Association. They found the need to stop these mass shootings as a distraction.
Still waiting on Congress to do something about gun violence. To this day, Trump and Republicans continue to deny reality. We are currently experiencing a pandemic that has taken over 200,000 American lives. We have an economic crisis where businesses are collapsing due to the pandemic. We have civil unrest because of racism in the country. And still gun violence exist in the country.
Since the pandemic, there have been over 240 mass shooting in the United States. Some were covered on Journal de la Reyna. Others were not. I've tried to cover as much as I could because the stories are all the same. Someone manages to obtain a firearm, use it in a criminal act and the junk food media covers it for a few days and then it's off to another controversy.
Man............it's been a year. Last year I thought was bad. The first year of a new decade is worst.
On August 4, 2019, a mass shooting hit my community. It took the lives of 9 people and left a hole in a community already struggling from the failures of Trump.
Back in 2019, I worked overnight to hear rumors of a mass shooting in the Oregon District in my hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Folks were saying that there was a shooting downtown.
Around 1:00am, a white terrorist opened fire on a large crowd of Americans wanting to visit bars and clubs. He managed to kill 9 people and wound over 30 people before the Dayton Police killed him.
The mass shooting only lasted less than one minute and yet he managed to take so many down.
The Dayton Police were required to be maintain security in the Oregon District after a string of break-ins. They quickly took the terrorist out in 40 seconds. Still the terrorist managed to take lives faster than the response time.
The victims who had died in the mass shooting included: Logan Turner, Beatrice Warren-Curtis, Derrick Fudge, Lois Olelesby, Monica Brickhouse, Nicholas Cumer, Sadeed Saleh, Thomas McNicholas and the terrorist's own family member Jordan Cofer (formerly M, Betts).
The Dayton Police ended up shooting at two of the victims trying to stop the terrorist. The state didn't charged them for any criminal misconduct.
The terrorist described himself as a leftist and voicing himself as a supporter of antifa, a preliminary assessment did not indicate the terrorist had a political or racial motive as earlier reported.
The attack occurred just 13 hours after the tragedy in El Paso, Texas.

| People flee from the shooting left their shoes and properties. |
The terrorist managed to open a lot of wounds in the community. The city gotten over a destructive set of EF-4 tornadoes which destroyed communities. The Dayton Police had faced criticism over the shooting of three unarmed African Americans that year.
Dayton had just shut down the Good Samaritan Hospital and
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed by gun violence.
THERE IS NO GOD.
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

| Trump bypassed Dayton mayor to visit victims at Miami Valley Hospital. He was angered by Nan Whaley's criticisms. |
As expected, Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Mike DeWine, Dayton mayor Nan Whaley, the 16 U.S. Representatives, Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will run the usual "thoughts and prayers" platitudes. The candidates running for the Democratic nomination will address this and many other tragedies involving gun violence.
Trump made remarks to show empathy towards the victims of El Paso and Dayton that night. During a morning press briefing Trump said "God bless the people of Toledo, Ohio." a city that is located 130 miles from Dayton. He was roundly criticized for the gaffe.
When he decided to visit Dayton and El Paso, he would bypass the mayors and local leaders.
When he arrived to Dayton, Ohio, Trump didn't go to the Oregon District. He went the Premier Health Partners Miami Valley Hospital. He took pictures with doctors and nurses. He visited victims who were injured and quickly headed off to El Paso and then to Mar-a-Largo.
Most Americans disapproved of Trump's handling of the tragedies because they feel like he has no sympathy towards gun violence victims.

| Dayton mayor Nan Whaley is greeted by Dave Chappelle. In late August, Chappelle hosted a charity event in the Oregon District. |
Entertainer Dave Chappelle, who lives in Yellow Springs, Ohio was touched by the community's efforts to heal from a mass shooting and tornado. He host a charity event in the Oregon District.
Chappelle along with Jon Stewart, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian West, Chance the Rapper, Stevie Wonder, Talib Kweli and Teyana Taylor were there to show solidarity with the community.
The Dayton massacre was one of the latest in a string of many other mass shootings where no one is safe. It happens in schools, places of worship, movie theaters, shopping malls, banks, convenience stores, workplaces, government facilities, festivals, clubs and the home.
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING.
THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC .
INSTEAD OF WORKING TOGETHER ON SOLVING THIS MAN-MADE CRISIS, WE RETURN TO SAME SHIT. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF COVERAGE, WE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER CONTROVERSY. THEN LATER ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING AND IT WOULD BE WORSE THAN THE LAST ONE.

| The Dayton shooting left an impact on America. This terrorist wanted to leave a message to America, there would be more after me. We must change course before more of these incidents happen. |
The race of the suspect doesn't matter. The nationality doesn't matter. The religion doesn't matter. The motive doesn't matter. The terrorist managed to find a way to outmaneuver the law.
And of course, Trump and Republicans will continue to stall legislation in regards to firearms. They will continue to embrace mass chaos in the country. After all, they believe in "freedom."
The city of Dayton will be holding a virtual rally due to the COVID-19 pandemic scrapping the live tributes.
