Seen this post elsewhere. Is it correct?

America in the past decade has suffered the deadliest:

- synagogue shooting
- mass shooting
- church shooting
- nightclub shooting
- elementary shooting
- high-school shooting
- workplace shooting
- theater shooting
- workplace shooting
- military facility shooting
Can't think of an American theatre massacre that was worse than the Bataclan in Paris? Definitely not sure tho.


130 people died that night! Unreal, 90 odd at the theatre
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Milton represented Moloch as the first pagan god who joined Satan's war on humankind:

First Moloch, horrid king, besmear'd with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents' tears,
Though for the noise of Drums and Timbrels loud
Their children's cries unheard, that pass'd through fire
To his grim idol. (Paradise Lost 1.392-96)

Read again those lines, with recent images seared into our brains—"besmeared with blood" and "parents' tears." They give the real meaning of what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday morning. That horror cannot be blamed just on one unhinged person. It was the sacrifice we as a culture made, and continually make, to our demonic god. We guarantee that crazed man after crazed man will have a flood of killing power readily supplied him. We have to make that offering, out of devotion to our Moloch, our god. The gun is our Moloch. We sacrifice children to him daily—sometimes, as at Sandy Hook, by directly throwing them into the fire-hose of bullets from our protected private killing machines, sometimes by blighting our children's lives by the death of a parent, a schoolmate, a teacher, a protector. Sometimes this is done by mass killings (eight this year), sometimes by private offerings to the god (thousands this year).

There is a couple here in Thousand Oaks who lost their daughter in the Aurora movie theater shooting. They now travel the country going to communities that suffer mass shootings and speak with families. They've been to 11, starting with Sandy Hook. "It's hell," one of them said.

My son was in Las Vegas with a lot of his friends and he came home. He didn't come home last night and I don't want prayers. I don't want thoughts. I want gun control, and I hope to God nobody sends me anymore prayers. I want gun control" Amen

Do you have any idea how many bullets I pull out of corpses weekly? This isn't just my lane. It's my f**king highway.

Evidently we only really get to hear about those that hit double digits.

There's a lot of 3 or 5 or 6 shot that won't make the international headlines as they're all to common it seems!

Nuts.

Christ there's another mass shooting. Ohio this time, at least 9 dead. America is wild.

Exactly. Anybody tried to make this a political issue would be gobbled up. It's a no go area. There is no something either. Just prayers and move on.

They always say it's too soon to talk politics after one of these.  But there's been more than one a day of mass shootings (not necessarily fatal, just 4 or more victims) this year.

So...it's always and permanently too soon to talk politically about this issue.
