The difference is that medical procedures save lives, and bullets only take them away. People want to live a sanitized existence where they disregard the horrors of reality. We should also make people see the agony inflicted on women who are denied access to life-saving reproductive healthcare. “Look at this! You were the ones that wanted these weapons readily available to the public. I’d want my loved ones to print out poster-sized, full-color images of my mangled remains and force people to look at the images. If my body was ever ripped apart by the bullets fired from a weapon of war, I’d want our society to have to see it. Maybe part of the problem is that the general population is “spared” from viewing the horrors that arise as a result of our complacency.Ĭameras are never allowed to broadcast what they find in schools after a mass shooting. You should prepare for it because nothing is being done to stop it.Įverybody in the United States seems content to leave the lives of their children up to chance. Remember that the reality of people who have suffered tragedy might soon become YOUR reality.
Why do we care about the feelings of mass murderers but not children?
I think they’ve earned a right to share their opinion.Īre we afraid these parents are going to “hurt somebody’s feelings?” I thought our country didn’t care about feelings. We shouldn’t stand for it when politicians push grieving parents into a corner and force them into silence. Let’s stop playing dice with the lives of our loved ones Our mechanism of oppression steadfastly protects the nonsensical beliefs that can lead only to tragic loss. We push parents who have lost their children into closed rooms, shut the door, and tell them to come out never. If you live in a country that defiantly refuses to do anything about the various mechanisms of violence directed at our children, the people who fall victim to those mechanisms should be allowed to discuss the heart-rending agony that inevitably results.īut instead, we get sanitized news anchors with perfect makeup sitting behind desks. I think that’s a pretty reasonable thing to ask. Maybe then they’d stop sharing those stupid and offensive memes.
Maybe then they’d stop making such ignorant decisions. Maybe then the voting public would be sufficiently informed. Let them share their pain in public where the nation can’t ignore it. I want no “journalists” clogging or redirecting the conversation.
Imagine if every time there was a mass shooting, the parents of the victims were allowed to go on the news and address the nation for an hour.
