I'd been living in a hotel and working there for a couple of months by then. The headline of the local paper said this particular town was about to become a sanctuary city. Wow, I thought. These people are more progressive than they look. I read on. It wasn't becoming a sanctuary city for asylum seekers but for the unborn. Yeah, that was more consistent with what I was seeing.
Everyone, basically, owned a gun there. Many carried one every day. Just like putting on your shoes.
There was a shooting during a church service during my time there. The shooter and two parishioners were killed. The man on the radio chalked it up to the quick thinking and decisive action taken by one of the armed parishoners which prevented a real massacre from taking place. That and a clean headshot, the man said.
Twenty-one, today, died attending elementary school down there. Another man with a gun was having a bad day.
Shame should break our fucking backs.
