Another day Another mass shooting ...when are we has a nation do something ? I don't have a lot of hope so probably never. After Sandy Hook failed to generate enough strength to do something, I lost all hope. I agree. And it's my job -- chaplain -- to bring hope. And to preach hope when I'm preaching at a church. But seriously, it's very very difficult sometimes.

Janet I gotta say, our little community down the road is definitely praying for Orlando as a whole, the survivors, the family and friends who have lost their loves and for the medical professionals as they help ease the pain of the living. Damn y'all. How do you even find the words?

Two people haven't checked in. One is a college friend with young kids, so my thinking is she's at church or at home with the kids. One is a theatre friend, but works for the Sentinel, so my gut says he's busy working. He's older and not into the club scene, so I don't think he'd be there, but who knows? 50? 50? Only two hours from my home?

Me too. My brother is gay. He and his partner have been together for almost 30 years, and they are truly some of the most awesome people I know. They have so many great friends and have a beautiful life together. While I am not naïve and know there are people out there who hate people like my brother and his partner, hearing stories like this makes me sick and speechless. And I am not speechless very often.
Me too. My sister is gay and her and her partner have also been together over 30 years...going on 40 now. My nephew and his partner...best people ever. Love all four of them so much. It literally makes me ill to know there are people who would wish them harm or death just because of who they are. In many ways, I gave up on the world a long time ago.

If this is truly an act of terrorism, WTH is going on? A mass shooting at a building in California that is a building for persons with disabilities wasn't a wake up call either.

American People and mass shootings. Day 1 after shooting: Oh no. Our thoughts and prayers are for the injured and for the families of the individuals killed in this horrific act. Day 2 after the shooting: Well it's time to move on. What's next? More like Day 1 after the shooting: Oh no. Our thoughts and prayers are for the injured and for the families of the individuals killed in this horrific act. Day 2 after the shooting: Now is not the time to talk about gun control ... At least, that's what it seems like from here.

As usual, I first heard this on Refugee Peas. I find some degree of comfort and comradery in hearing breaking news (good and bad) from my fellow Peas. This is just horrendous news. It's got to stop !

Yes. My husband heard it but was hoping it wasn't true, so he checked the official feed. It was there. He said it wasn't hashtagged with anything like "orlandomassacre" or anything that made it obviously clear what it was referring to, but the timing was right.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible.
It is all over the news here as well. The deadliest mass shooting in the history of the United States.
I read the father of the shooter said that his son saw two men kissing and became angry. Seriously? This is how you react?

He also tweeted another image and a quote about god being a "stronghold in time of trouble" an hour later - again with nothing making it obviously clear what he is referring to. SaveSave
