Sooner or Later This is What Happens

When I turn on the TV and hear about a possible political shooting, I don't expect it to be in the United States. A Congressional representative is critically injured; a Federal judge murdered- that's the scariness of an environment of anger, hatred, division, lack of discussion.

“The anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And unfortunately, I think Arizona has become sort of the capital, we have beome the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry,” said Pima County sheriff, Clarence W. Dupnik. “There’s reason to believe that this individual might have a mental issue, and I think that people who are unbalanced might be especially susceptible to vitriol.”
