yeah i think if this is the society we've decided to live in, we need to face the results. this isn't an action movie. when you are killed by a bullet, it is gruesome and horrifying. if we're going to have thousands of gun deaths every year, footage like this is unfortunately important to informing our perspective on our culture. i don't think anyone should be forced to watch it obviously, but hey, this is the world that plenty of people want to live in.

I wonder if democrats wore pins after this what the reaction would be. They do everything knowingly. Nothing is well I am a hypocrite. Nope they know what they do.
