Well said, Peter.
However, this last horrific episode is the one that should have been aired on every TV station and social media outlet in the country.
How else do we enter into the discussion as emotionally charged as we need to be in order to get anything done with respect to a rational solution to the lingering problem this nation has with the appalling combination of mental illness and guns.
To not show the horror reminds me of the evolution of war from fixed bayonets to bombardiers to drones, and likely to come, simply hit DELETE on a computer, slowly moving away from a possible deterrent of personal savagery towards a let's-keep-it-going ho-hum what group of human beings did we wipe off the face of the earth today?
