^{I want to express how horrified I am. On this day 7/13/24 our former President Trump was shot in his upper right ear at his rally. Watching as it unfolded, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. This is not who we are as Americans. This concerns the fragility and turmoil of our youth, not just in the USA, but in the world! A very sad truth, emotional decline among American youth so endemic in our society. Mental illness awareness. Images by bing.com}

Violence in the political party A pebble thrown to defend oneself from a barrage of 100- stones The bully then complains of abuse—might never makes right will we unite?—I Am Anaya “All for one and one for all” Bullied everyday was he, his peer would tell the news agent He was different, a loner, weird, wore camouflage And so, we tormented him A lunch bench, a boy sequestered was “bullied every day” Silent, defeated, sunken, he rarely spoke a word Clean slate, passes a routine background check A dietary aid prepping food in a nursing home Nothing unusual nothing remarkable Republican at heart for God knows what gave way, donates to the loyal opposition a progressive bent A bit addled and mixed up, can we see? Unleashing his wrath a man filled with hurt with hate In his own backyard, the tormented dons the guise of the tormentor The assailed becomes the assailant The unthinkable is done, perched upon a roof four-hundred feet away just minutes into the oration he aims then pulls the trigger obscure and distressed Crooks alters history’s course with a firearm at the ready as a duty and right Father Crooks kept many, in a very pro-gun town At the hands of a 20-year-old man who was bullied by their own sons and daughters Counselors, both father and mother trained to help troubled minds, how ironic Where were they as their son’s inner storm brewed? A blind eye turned away what shame, what horror Yet the world’s most salient story

Anaya, you have expressed much wisdom here. We really need a kinder society that can eliminate bullying and hurt of youth. It's rather sad really, but you deal with this with such compassion and truth that it makes me smile. Some of us who have been bullied can understand what it does and why people may act in this way. A society that tolerates bullying and supplies guns that can do this is not a good combination. I feel sorry for the spectator who died, his family, and the young man's family.

Ty, Duke. It's very sad. We can shout out, perhaps one will listen and do the right thing and vote for the right gun laws. This person should not have owned one, much less his parents who are many gun owners! A rally fan so sad, meant for Trump!

Hurt people hurt people. It's an endless circle. The video was so disturbing and I wanted him to disappear from that space. Maybe it was for a scare.

So scary, indeed Tonye. I truly believe that it was divine intervention, let's hope that scare has affected our former president into focusing on uniting us. I would become a believer again. ;)

Was thinking when it happened, Stormy had lost the plot.

After Stephen King got bashed I'm staying silent. But no, this troubled lad is representative of so many dysfunctional and screwed up persons. Quite sad actually. Great write
