How Mass Shootings Destroyed Family and Society

My heart cries out for the many families that are affected by these mass shootings. They are happening so frequently, that the media can’t barely report and focus on one long enough to engage the public before another happens.

Souls that are mentally incarcerated and living in torment, torment is all they know while they inflict torment on others to ease their pain on many communities , their souls reside in torment and that torment was heaped on innocent people, young and old.

The worst call to get is that your love one has been shot or killed during some mass shooting at a store or anywhere. Time standing still as you gather your emotions racing through your being. One pastor in El Paso reflected on his feelings once being told of the shooting of his daughter.

This pastor’s daughter was shot along with 20 other innocence bystanders. While being shot three times, his daughter mustered up enough tenacity to call her mother on her cellphone who rushed to her side at Walmart and then the mother contacted her husband who rushed to their daughter’s side shortly thereafter. As he acted and raced to her side, he prayed a fervent prayer for his daughter and the others shot.

He prayed hard as his 33 year daughter laid in a pool of blood and looked like she might not make it, but he told her she would make it regardless of what he saw. No stretchers available, the dad grabbed a shopping cart and wheeled his daughter outside to the ambulance where they rushed her to the nearest hospital with her parents in pursuit. With wounds to the chest, pelvis, finger and her intestines were a mess according to the doctors in emergency, she underwent surgeries. During this surgery, the the father prayed for wisdom for the doctor, courage for his daughter and his entire family, even prayed for other victim’s families.

This pastor and father lend on his faith with all his might! According to this pastor he reflected on the Word of God, he stated, “It says walk through the valley of the shadow of death, not stop in the valley of the shadow of death.” Not leaving her side for two days, the family finally heard the words every family member wants to hear, “Surgery was successful and she was stable.”

This is truly one blessed daughter, many were killed during this shooting and the prayers of this pastor availed. When his daughter responded to her family in the hospital, the rest is history or hisStory or herStory or theirStory.

Within hours of the El Paso shooting, all hell broke loose again in Dayton, Ohio! A stranger drove 650 miles to Walmart in El Paso, to harm innocent people he didn’t even know, 20 dead 26 injured. Even shot his own sister who traveled to Walmart with him and a friend. While many were suffering with the Walmart shooting, twelve hours and 35 minutes later 9 dead, 27 injured in Dayton, Ohio. A week or so prior, the Gilroy garlic festival shooting that took the lives of three innocent people after posting online his support of white supremacy

Both gunmen, 20’s something white men with assault-style rifles spread innocent people because of the color of their skin. How sick is this? Patrick Crusius, 21, from Allen, Texas whose racist rants were against Latino migrants invasion according to him. he stated, “We’re going to do what we do to terrorists in this country — deliver swift and certain Justice.” Did he know when shooting who was a migrant or a born citizen? Crusius was apprehended and now must go to trial at the expense of the people. Connor Stephen Betts, 24, from Dayton, Ohio who was killed by cops within 30 seconds of his first shots. Also note, there is evidence he may have taken his own life.

These are just the most recent shootings and atrocities against people of color or innocent people. With the current administration, license has been to many verbally and/or non verbally to attack others unlike the Caucasian population. Weak mind connect and hate abounds. Two hundred and fifty (250) mass shootings has occurred thus far in this country who has more mass shootings than in other country in the world. We are the most civilized of all countries. Haha!! God help us all! Prayer and a change must come or we all will perish like fools!! As a catholic priest, Reverend Cong Vo, prays, “Keep us from the weapons of hate.”

I write these words to send a wake up call to stop the killings, the racism, the hate and that we must learn to celebrate and not tolerate our differences. Only when we do this, life will turn around for all. At this time, we can all embrace the words that identify this country in “Our Country.”

In conclusion, the goal is to change one angry heart at a time and that angry heart will change another angry heart and then and only then will we all live as God intended with peace and harmony.
