Uvalde

[TranquillityBase]

(Certainly worth polishing)

I'm all ears, or eyes, for your ideas for polishing.

Imagine the abject terror those young children felt.

Imagine the brutal damage that a gun can do to a child.

Imagine the nightmares the surviving children will have.

Try to un-see those images.

Now, imagine being a parent trying to verify the identity of that child, by a piece of clothing, or a birthmark, because your child's face has been blown off. 

Imagine pictures from the crime scene; possibly the only way to shock people into action.

Thoughts and prayers are bullshit.  Screaming into the wind- no help. 

Goddamnit am I pissed off.

We are at a terrible place where donating blood for the survivors seems to be our only realistic reaction.

I wrote this when I first read of this.  In a state of utter shock.  Takes a lot to shock me these days, but this did it.  And Uvalde is an old Texas town.  Close to home.

Thanks for the read and your visceral response.
