1. These people need to pay for their actions

and the use of these weapons and the violence needs to be stopped. This is just plain sickening.

2. I agree, blue_jay.

Their war is not just on immigrants; it is on American citizens.

They need to be stopped.

3. Any student of history knows how inhumane our treatment

of native Americans and slaves was, nevertheless it is shocking to have it happen in our lifetime to our neighbors. We truly live among evil people, and we are sometimes willing to elect them to lead our country.

5. I just can't believe this is where we are today.
