Politicians can’t protect us
This is crazy! How can Omar Mateen hate someone that much? What a spineless coward. After listening to his father on the news I see where he gets it. Let people live theirs lives without fear of some coward taking it. It’s insane to think that you are more likely to get killed if you are deemed “different.” This is 2016. If you hate the freedom the U.S. gives, take a hike.
If you are a law-abiding citizen, arm yourself. It’s not easy to shoot people when they shoot back. First, it was a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, now this. When will we do something about this epidemic? The only solution is people taking control and fighting back. Obviously the politicians cannot protect us.
We have to start helping each other and be kind. See something, for God’s sake, say something!
