Thoughts on June 12th and the price of ignoring mass murder


This country should’ve learned a lesson from four years ago today.  A lesson that compassion is more important than rules, that caring for your brother, sister and neighbor is more important than what religion, denomination or orientation they are.  But we failed to listen to the lesson.  We ignored the lesson and chose a monster no better than the gunman who psychotically murdered 49 people on this day.  This year we have a choice again, do we keep the psychotic, destructive monster where he is or, do we remove him and free our neighbors, brothers and sisters from pain?  If we chose wrong, we may soon watch thousands of our neighbors, brothers and sisters perish at the hands of our own military and police on a daily basis.  We have enough bigotry, racism and homophobia in this country to turn the corner into genocide and this government has already started genocide against the Hispanic-descent/Latin American and African-American populations.  We will not get to undo this election’s choice, whatever it is.  The choice is yours; compassion or the devil’s arithmetic?
