Sympathy and charity are the natural reactions to a tragedy. Using the deaths of innocent people as an immediate platform for political gain is inhuman.
So, naturally, that’s the route Hollywood elitists chose to take just hours after the school shooting in Santa Fe that left 10 dead and several injured. Actors and actresses attacked everything they could get their hands on with blind, misdirected rage and virtuous grandstanding. It was like a wake of ghoulish vultures, screeching “YOUR PRAYERS DON’T WORK.”
As politicians and others offered their thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, eager entertainers pounced on the sympathy and tore it to shreds. Producer Andy Lassner tweeted, “‘Thoughts and prayers’ is politician speak for ‘I need gun lobby money.’” Actress Mia Farrow stated, “Prayer does not replace action. WE NEED RATIONAL GUN LAWS.”
The attacks on faith continued. Actor Billy Eichner retweeted Vice President Pence’s statement about the shooting, and responded, “Forget your thoughts and prayers. You've been praying since Columbine. YOUR PRAYERS DON'T WORK. Can the rest of us rational thinking people actually try to do something about this now???”

My prayers work better than their gun control.
My prayers lead me to believe total security of school entry and exit would be an effective defense against this happening again.
We must also think of school bus security.
Athletic or other large event security.
Grounds security.
Excellent verbiage!
Prayers for the dead work everytime. One thing that has resulted in more death than any other thing including war is taking guns away from The People.
It’s amazing how self righteous these leftists can be who’s ideas fail everytime they’re tried. What have these nimrods fixed? Ever?
Huck Follywood
I beg to differ.
God answered our prayers when He gave us President Trump instead of Her Thighness.
God truly blessed us all!
Why don’t they set an example by refusing to make any films featuring gun violence?
“GUN CONTROL”: “The belief that a woman found raped & strangled with her own pantyhose is somehow morally superior to a woman who is explaining to police how her attacker got those fatal bullet wounds.”
WINNER! The LIBIOTS show their true colors....not to mention all the sexuality, etc...
Seems just about everything “Hollyweird” centers around sex, drugs and booze.
They work better than your “gun control” ever would
“Your prayers don’t work”: Uh....no. When you no longer allow or support teaching kids to pray, you reap what you sow. Praying kids usually do not go on shooting sprees.
He used Dad’s shotgun and .38 revolver.
Is it their intent to ban shotguns and revolvers? That’s the question that should be posed to them...on the Tee Vee.
Our prayers do work. Been praying for the destruction of the left and it is coming to pass.
Unfortunately for the libs, the Royal Wedding, and the weekend sucked all of the air out of this opportunity.
Who said we were using prayers? We use guns to fight back.
Liberals just wish the bad guy would go away.
We should ban liberals since they’re the ones doing all the shooting.
Meanwhile, how many armed guards are hired to protect so-called celebrities like Mia Farrow?
How many armed security guards are stationed at the entrances to TV and movie studios?
Hollywood phonies.
We’ll take our chances relying on prayers vs. the godless LIEberalisms of certain failures.
Lib here, gold digger there, plane crash over there, volcano in Hawaii. Just an awful busy news weekend.
