Before the killing we’re in their rage, their spite, their vile rhetoric, their legislation against our lives & peace, their complete and total disgust, disregard, & the path of their demolition. After the killing, their prayers. The blood on your hands you gleefully put there.
The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful. This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers. This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly.
