it seems indicative

of a sorry state of affairs

when the American Right

have a standard form tweet

for use after school shootings.


I am

[HORRIFIED, HEARTBROKEN]

at the senseless tragedy in

[LOCATION] today.

We are

[LIFTING THEM UP IN PRAYER, PRAYING FOR THEM]

and thank the heroic efforts of

[POLICE, FIRST RESPONDERS]

on the scene.


That seems to be enough for them;

prayers are better than gun reform

and blame the shooting on Leftist propaganda.

Call them transgender

or Black, or Muslim

or an illegal immigrant;

anything to obfuscate the true problem:

bullets are the number one cause of death

for kids in America.
