The vile blame game

Posted August 09, 2019 1:00 am

In the name of all that is right and holy, can we at least expect our elected officials to speak with calm and reason in the midst of these three horrible events - El Paso, 22, Dayton, 9, and Chicago, 7, killed and countless injured.

All senseless killings. This blame game is disgusting. Who was to blame for past atrocities under other administrations? Who benefits from these accusations toward our president? What has happened to our loyal opposition?

The vile voices of these partisan candidates is gross. Only an ignorant person would use these tragedies to advance their own political ambitions.

It is time to mourn the victims. It is time to work together to find and implement solutions so we can live in love and without fear. It is time for our political class to act.
