Some scenes that were videoed by parents or grandparents out at the Uvalde shooting have been real tear jerkers for me. I haven't seen very much on the other shooting. I know we weep with those who weep in these situations. I enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Some people just don't deserve the same freedom as others. I believe when you become a criminal you give4 up your rights as a human being because criminals feed off the hard work and goodness of others, and they often kill the good people. This is so sad and a fine write. God B less, JB

The Situation

Date: 5/17/2022 5:11:00 PM

It happens. This copy cat crime. and what did it earn? His picture all over the place. He finally got everyones attention. with the motive he wanted so he could get the most publicity. His fantasies realized there is no next.

His imagination could have been used for good. Tragic.

A touching senryu, Kim. The Buffalo shooting is another tragic event in a long list of mass shootings. I live near Parkland and have not been the same since the shooting there. I worry for my children and all the children. I pray more action is taken against gun violence. Thanks for sharing. Rhonda xx

I think about the kids all the time. So sorry for your town’s tragic and awful shootings. My nephew, a few years back, was in one hallway and thought to go to the other side of school. There was a threat (he didn’t know about). Yes, we need to listen to the still small voice. ((Hugs))

A boy I saw on tv this morning. He was crying his eyes out. It was either his mother or grandmother who was killed in the Buffalo shooting. A real heartbreak. I was born in Buffalo and have much family in that area.
