Political violence? A dark day in America? What about the slaughter that has happened in our schools? Small children’s bodies torn apart by high-powered guns and ammunition.

Do politicians’ lives mean more than the concertgoers in Las Vegas? The kids in Parkland, Uvalde, Sandy Hook, Columbine, etc.? The constant slaughter in our streets every day?

Oh, that’s right. It’s OK because politicians have so much more worth. The same politicians who could do something by passing comprehensive gun laws with teeth are threatened. And I’m supposed to be outraged? You have to be kidding me. I’ll save my outrage for better causes.
