Another day produced another spasm of tragedy in an American school, where a maniac opened fire and killed two children, wounding 20 others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It happened in Minneapolis, Minn., which now joins a long list of communities associated with shooting tragedy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I will offer “thoughts and prayers” for the family members and loved ones of those who were killed and injured. An entire nation is praying for them. I also am going to ask: What kind of maniac walks into a school and does this kind of horrific deed? <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Santa Fe (Texas), Columbine all are linked by the infamous crime of gun violence. Against children … for God’s sake! And this only lists a few of these locations. We can add places like El Paso, Charleston and others as violence has erupted claiming an array of victims.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now we have Minneapolis, where a moron opened fire at a Catholic school where the students were in the midst of prayer when the violence erupted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are growing numb to this kind of evil. It sickens me to my core.<\/p>\r\n\n
