February 15
So, you know what happened yesterday, right? Besides it being Valentine's Day, a day dedicated to love, another deadly school shooting happened!
This school shooting happened in Parkland, Florida. The shooter pulled the fire alarm near the end of the day, and opened fire. Sadly, 17 people died.
The shooter had a troubled past. He was expelled from that school, and both of his parent died, but that's no excuse for what he did, nothing is! Those poor kids; they had a life ahead of them, and those poor staff , he was arrested. That, like rarely happens. Nearly all of the terrible school shootings in the past, the shooter or shooters, commits suicide before getting caught.
When I heard the news of a tragic event happening to a high school, I immediately thought of a school shooting, because, sadly, that is what the world is nowadays. You hear shooting after shooting, and attack after attack. And this year alone already has 18 shootings, 18, and it's only February; it's sickening!
My prayers are with the victims' families, and other love ones. And to think they were voted the safest community! What a Valentine's Day this turned out to be for them!
I keep praying the violence will end, but there'll sadly will be another one I'm sure. But, gun laws must be in place! I don't care if it's in the second amendment anymore; it's not 1776 anymore. I'm not saying that the 2nd amendment should be abolished all together, so don't get mad, but if you're sane, unlike those sick people, something has to be done! I'm mad that this is happening frequently here I the U.S., unlike other countries because of their strict gun laws, and I know that a lot of people agree with me, are mad as well, and are also sick and tired about hearing about these kinds of things. It's like in Bob Dylan's song: 'how many deaths will it take, 'til he knows that too many people have died?' Boy, that song is so true today! The answer is blowin' in the wind! But, seriously, we must take action, so the world can be a better place. Saying and praying just isn't enough. We need to actually do something ASAP! This isn't a plea anymore, but a DEMAND; we must; too many innocent lives have been taken away, TOO many fudging times! Come on, America, you can do better then this, I know you can. Show it!
