America’s a Nation of Bloodlust.
People here value guns more than their own kids.
Today in Washington D.C., a little fourth grader from Uvalde, Texas named Miah will be testifying before a bipartisan group of Senators about gun violence. A survivor of the Robb Elementary school shooting, she covered herself in the blood of her friend and laid in it for an hour as she waited for the police who stood outside. Yesterday, actor Matthew McConaughey made a surprise appearance in front of the White House press, pointing to his wife who held a pair of high top green converse identical to the ones that ten year old Maite Rodriguez was wearing the day she was slaughtered in her classroom. Maite’s had a drawn on green heart, and were the only way she was able to be identified.
McConaughey described carnage that left the little bodies of these children so maimed, they were “hollow”. It’s a horror and pain inflicted on this communities and the families of the victims that’s almost too unbearable to witness, let alone experience.
And yet, we have politicians like Marjorie Greene who are merely focused on harassing victims of gun violence.
