Boulder City Massacre

by RodG

What kind of animal
destroys lives randomly?
The horror of this massacre— 
ten lives cut short quickly.

I seethe when I see the alleged assailant Ahmad Alissa sitting in that wheelchair during his arraignment. There is NO sign of remorse in his facial expression.

I also seethe when I watch clips of the Senate debates on gun control, knowing NO REFORMS are forthcoming.

Thank you for allowing me to vent my fury publically.
