Unfortunately for America, the grown ups are not in charge at this time.

Lord God please bless the souls of those who have lost their lives today and please ease the pain and loss of the loved ones that are connected.

I am heartsick for this country.

“No, you’re not. You’re a nutcase like Alex Jones. He’s the one who got it from.”

You don’t know a damn thing about me. But go ahead with your own misconceptions. Whatever...

The bottom line is that bombs should be outlawed.

Agreed. Especially high capacity bombs. We need universal background checks for all bomb purchases, at the very least.

Good point on your part. From my vantage point, the New England Cable News reports two dead and twenty three injured. I still have to be measured in my speculations, but as with Major Nidal Hassan I feel this is the Obama and Democratic peace dividend. America voted out the party of butcher Bush (/sarc) and voted in the... peace loving Democrats. Now we are reaping our peace dividend. /sarc
