“Today, once again, as has been true too many times before, I held and hugged grieving family members and parents, and they asked, why does this keep happening? And they pleaded that we do more to stop the carnage. They don’t care about the politics. Neither do I. Neither does Joe. And neither should any parent out there who’s thinking about their kids being not in the wrong place, but in places where kids are supposed to be.
This debate needs to change. It’s outgrown the old political stalemates. The notion that the answer to this tragedy would be to make sure that more people in a nightclub are similarly armed to the killer defies common sense. Those who defend the easy accessibility of assault weapons should meet these families and explain why that makes sense. They should meet with the Newtown families—some of whom Joe saw yesterday—whose children would now be finishing fifth grade—on why it is that we think our liberty requires these repeated tragedies. That’s not the meaning of liberty.” —President Obama in Orlando: go.wh.gov/udFSuN

Brothers & Sisters of The Orlando Massacre . . . May You Find Peace in Your New Journey

Once again, a horrific act committed upon many unsuspecting, innocent citizens on Sunday in June of 2016, shocks the world with sheer and brutally violent killings.
Brothers and sisters . . . You, who lost your precious lives on that one day, which is generally considered to be the quiet day of the week . . . We pray that your journey beyond is free of ugliness and hate, but rewarded with peace and love.
Our collective hearts, as fellow citizens, also go out to the surviving victims–escaping physically, but perhaps not emotionally nor psychologically–and, of course, to the family and friends of all the those who believed that they could be who they are, devoid of any ignorant thought . . .
