If we're not going to do anything again, I'd just like to make one request: given that we've all agreed, if only by our passive acquiescence, not to keep this from happening, can we please quit pretending to care? Let's just skip the histrionics this time: no pro forma shock, condolence photo ops, somber speeches, flags at half-mast, meaningless noises from liberals about legislation, meaningless counter-noises from the NRA about armed guards in elementary schools. Why bother going through the motions of soul-searching when we know very well there's nothing to search? If we can't be brave we might at least be honest: when we see the familiar helicopter shots of ambulances outside a school, the clusters of classmates hugging, the sobbing parents being led away, the makeshift shrines of candles and plush toys, instead of looking stricken or covering our mouths or saying "Oh my God" or "How horrible," let's just all look each other in the eye and say: "Shit happens."
The left does not to care, just there, look at Benghazi, look at Detroit, look at Chicago, no answers, just cowards looking the other way. Of course Democrats are way beyond pretending, they claim it doesn't exist. Democrats claim pregnancy is "punishment," poor Obama's they've been punished twice. So, at one point you are good with children dying however after birth you have trouble with the "punishment" being killed?
Clean up your own before being outraged over another.
