Mass Murder Seems to have become a business in America

I started writing this last Memorial Day but I didn’t finish. But now that this sacred day is rapidly approaching us again, what better time than to share my thoughts with you on this topic.

What bothers me is how soon we forget. On October 1, 2017, Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old man from Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire on the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.

Then there’s Sandy Hook. Marjorie Coleman High School. There’s the Pulse gay nightclub shooting in Orlando. And on and on, each one worse than the other for its own intricacies. And yet, nothing ever happens. Within a week or two, things go right back to normal. I don’t understand it. We had a church shooting, a mall shooting, a freaking birthday party shooting — nothing.

What kind of shooting must we have before something changes? Heck, they even stormed the White House and from what I can tell, all things are normal. All systems are go. On an international front, America is suspect. People don’t want to come here. They do, but they are scared to death. Guns and insurance scare the hell out of foreigners. One, they might get shot and two, if they survive, they may end up bankrupt because of the American health care system. We love our country, that’s no lie, but, Jeezy.
