Enough is Enough

He doesn't know what made him decide not to join his fellow realtors.  He told his wife that it just didn't feel right.  

So he stayed home and didn't ride on the float in the parade.  

So he wasn't one block away, laughing with his colleagues and waving to the crowds, when another skinny white boy with too much firepower and not enough brains began killing people.  

I heard the news on the radio and called their house.  I can't remember ever feeling so glad to hear their voices.  

It was a glimpse into what my friends must have felt back in 2011.  

So I went home and watched the Police Chief and the Mayor and the Governor and the Senator say all the things that all the Police Chiefs and Mayors and Governors and Senators say every time .... every single time....  

According to NPR there were bodies and body parts on the streets of Highland Park.

When is enough enough?

Driving to our late afternoon/evening event yesterday, on the 4th of July, the radio news report was all about who just got shot, nationally and locally. And during the day I see memes on Facebook about how guns made us free. Kinda questioning some of those 'freedoms".

The sad truth is that this is never going to change, the sickness in this country runs too deep.

And there seems to be no effort to fix it, does there?

Sadly, I have to agree with Jim.

How sad the the freddom we seem to celebrate in this country is the freedom to carry guns when ever we want and where ever we go.
