Are We A Bitter Society? Thoughts On The Most Recent Shootings

So What do we do about school and other shootings? Schools have done what they can to try and quell the fears of parents and teachers by setting up protocols for active shooters. My wife who is a classroom mother had to go through checkpoints in our daughter's school and had to be escorted to her classroom. Yet yesterday Salvador Ramos walked into Robb Elementary School In Uvalde Texas and shot 19 students and 2 teachers killing them. In Buffalo NY on May 14, 2022 13 people were killed in a racially charged incident by Payton Gendron who had a manifesto on a social media platform and identified himself as a white supremacist. Is there an answer? I think we have to first identify the problem in order to come up with a solution. We as a society are becoming more and more bitter. We can't stand our own design and are angry because of who we are, our parents, our environment, our status, and our upbringing. By the way Ramos shot his grandmother before he went over to the school. There is a choice that needs to be made. Oh, I don't doubt that the mental health system in this country needs and overhaul, but in reality we can all choose love not hate, acceptance instead of racism, respect, not rudeness and unkindness, responsibility, not excuses, and above all our country has to learn how to value the differences and choose life not death. Please join me and pray for the families of those who have been killed in these senseless acts of violence and hate.
