Herself speaks.
Eight people, shot dead in Atlanta, by a guy who bought the gun that day. Who "had a bad day", said the police. Apparently, a "racist misogynist day" was too long a phrase to use.
And ten people, shot dead at a supermarket in Colorado yesterday. I haven't seen any news on his motive yet. What possible motive could there be? Christ Almighty.
Now that Pandemic restrictions are lifting, I guess we are back to American Normal, where ordinary folks are killed just doing ordinary things.
I haven't been to a grocery store in over a year now.
And now I have no desire to do so again, any time soon.
It's hard not to despair sometimes. No one is safe -- not from viruses, not from violence. Not from a deranged man with a gun.
Can we make things better, please?
