Today is part two of my last blog, so if you didn't read about it, it's about the horrible school shooting that happened to a Florida high school on Valentine's Day.
First off, in my last blog, I said 18 shootings had happened since the start of the year. That's technically not true. There were guns involved, luckily, not all were deadly. So there, I just wanted to clear that up in case someone caught me in a lie. and tells me out. Also the Bill of Rights was in the constitution, written in 1791.
Since that terrible shooting, students in Florida are standing up. They are mad, and want change, and they have every right too. They already organized a march in DC in March to demand changes in gun laws, and I say, good for them! I agree with them. Schools are meant to give kids an education, so they can have bright, promising futures, not be places of violence, fear, and pain. The whole family agrees, even Stan to some extent (not Roger though).
Whenever there is a school shooting, Francine tries to hide it from Steve, but he always finds out. He gets scared, and doesn't want to go to school for fear one of his classmates or someone else. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to leave ether if this was happening when I was a kinder, but it's school, so, he has to. He even tried to convince Barry, and hos other friends (Barry was the most easiest to convince out of all of them).
People say guns are part of our constitution, and can't be changed. Stan, being a real, true American says too, and I agree a little bit. True, every American has a right to bear arms, but when you break, that law, you lose that right. And also, it's to bear arms. It's for protection against dangerous people, not a right to shoot at any innocent person you see. I bet if Thomas Jefferson or the other Founding Fathers were alive today, they would agree that enough is enough, and it's time for a change.
You know what sickens me the most about all of this? It's that people online saying that this was fake as well as other shootings, including to this day, Sandy Hook, and everyone is a 'crisis actor'. I find those statements highly disrespectful. These are/were real live people who lost their lives, and all of their grieving friends, and loved ones. I bet even the actors from Hollywood, Broadway, Bollywood, and other professional actors would agree that they're not acting, no matter how much we might wish these terrible events to just be bad dreams. This is the real world, people, not a made up place where happy things happen everyday, even Disney knows that! Hayley lived though it before she turned seven, so she knows, as well as all of us, that this is not fiction. Who would make up something as awful as this? How would they like it if they lose someone they loved because of a violent crime, and people call them fakers too? It won't be as funny anymore to them, would it? Where is the proof that all of it is fake? Did people think the sinking of the Titanic, the Columbine, and 9/11 were fake as well?
Donald Trump Jr. put a 'like' to the comment about it being fake too. Boy, if he were my son, I would be ashamed of him. How can someone like such a horrid thing? How can anybody?! You as an American, have a right for free speech, but please, have some respect! Think of what you're about to say or write before it's too late, and you offend , he's related to the president, so I guess it's not a total surprise. Heck, I wouldn't be surprise if the president himself liked it.
You know what else? When Obama was president, he made it so it was harder for the mentally ill to get their hands on guns, but, Trump took that away, and made it so again. What was he thinking?! That was a good and sensible law. People with mental issues should not have guns, they aren't capable enough! It's just another excuse to hate him. Think of Barron, Trump! Think of your grandchildren! Think of yourselves and other people you care about! Surly, there must be some.
I hope these young people succeed, and change is on the horizon. I don't want to go back as a human, and this is still happening. Hopefully for the rest of the year, 2019, the 2020s and beyond. I know the world is not perfect, evil people will brake the law and do evil things to others, and bad stuff like this and more is going to happen again, but just not as often. I still regret shooting those Italian university students. I don't know what I was thinking. So, it's the writers fault, yeah, let's say that. Most of the family and I will be rooting for them!
I'm sorry this wasn't a happy blog. Next time will probably be the Oscars again (hopefully, not a mistake will occur a second time).
