Americans from either side cherry pick tweets and opinions to say the other side is "politicizing" the tragedy, while others act offended at the tone people use to get across their point across in the debate. It boggles my mind Americans could be surprised at all by this. If there's no respectful and engaging debate on abortion, gay marriage and one's politics, why would gun control be any different?
And then come the old white men who say this never would've happened back in the good old day. Who have no idea how a kid could do something like this then, when they spend their time shaming any kid who might be LGBT to believe they're a freak and different from everybody else.
I can't imagine the pain the victims family's are going through right now. My sympathy and heart is with them, but I find something incredibly disingenuous about another tragedy in America where people offer up their thoughts and prayers and yet nothing changes and nothing is done to stop it from happening again. America has become such an embarrassment to itself and the world on so many levels. It's only going to keep getting worst
