We’ve forgotten how to mourn
Amazing words and thoughts. Please read and enjoy the thoughts of a talented writer.
I still don’t know how to respond to the tragedy of Orlando. But I still don’t know how to respond to other tragic events like Sandy Hook, or the events like concerning Gabbey Giffords, or anything like that.
I still don’t know how to consider the responses to these events. It’s all so predictable; with two potential responses broadcast, each implicitly and explicitly associated with major political parties.
Why does the self-interest of politics need to be the lens forced upon us to understand these events?
Why can’t we mourn? Why can’t we weep? Why can’t we suffer with those who have lost?
Tragedies happen. That’s why we have a word for it.
There is sin. There is evil. And there are things that cannot be explained.
I fear that with our collective societal wisdom, we believe we can fix it. We think, if we just find the reason…

I agree with renxkyoko….why in the world would somebody who was not in law enforcement need an assault weapon? I live alone…do you think I should go buy one of those? Do you think anybody would question why I thought I needed one?
We can all mourn….while we wait for the next senseless attack.

Who are going to fight? This man, like the many who are filled with hate. How do we define the men and women who hold evil and can do bad things? I believe by the press making this man come alive to the viewers. Make his act look okay to bad people seeking attention. Don’t make heros out of murderers. Media does not help us. Need to silence the name of the murderers. Let’s them be forgotten and not rewarded with their nameto publish view.

What good is mourning if we don’t do anything that will prevent such tragedy to happen again ? Republicans in Congress prayed and mourned and maybe shed some tears, but completely shut down a ban on assault weapons.

Must mourn. Who do we blame? I agree. No auto-matic weapons. Here in my home town Detroit. No auto-matic weapons and you must have a licence to carry. Many wise cities have this law. New York city for example. We cannot stop hate crimes unless we see and fix the problem early. Children are taught hate. I pray we learn ASAP. Every life had value.Pay attention to our kids. Teach them right.
