- Second Amendment
Columbine.
Sandy Hook.
The Pulse Nightclub.
Las Vegas.
These are a sad fraternity of locations haunted by the legacy of senseless gun violence. After each one, we were sure that the government would act. We told ourselves that "this time it would be different." Yet the headlines were allowed to fade away, those left behind were abandoned with nothing but thoughts and prayers and absolutely nothing has changed.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival.
El Paso.
Dayton (or was it Toledo?).
The death march continues. Newsrooms rush to the scenes, immerse us in the pornography of grief and then they move on to the next news story that will inflate their ratings. I would bet that the reporters do not even unpack their bags as the next occurrence of mass casualties is sure to happen in a time frame that is more likely to be sooner than later. Absolutely nothing changes.
Violent video games.
Bad parenting.
Mental illness.
