The
funerals for the dead in Highland Park have not even been set
But already the cry from the left that the 2nd does not cover
semi-automatics only muskets
Another mass shooting in a high income neighborhood to join others across the nation
on Independence Day
Once again a focus on the weapon and not the mental condition of shooter
pulling the trigger again and again to slay
Hyde Park has an ordinance that assault weapons clearly bans
Did not prevent Robert Crimo III from legally putting his guns in his hands
Illinois has Red Flag laws and police to his house were called
He was threatening to with his knives into a killer evolve
Confiscated numerous knives and a sword but red flags were not raised
Social media posts to indicate violent acts he praised
If on red flag laws we are going to rely to the potential for mass shootings confine
Police and social media companies need to be better trained when threats appear
online
Why is it that after a mass shooting the missed signs almost always seem to
appear?
Yet parents, teachers, friends and fellow workers seem to possess only cloudy
eyes and deaf ears?
We need better training to mental illness that breeds violence to detect
Ere we are doomed to witness mass killings and on what we missed try to reflect
