This is a tragic day. We must be honest and acknowledge (with deep regret) that shootings are a common method of conflict resolution in our society. And that there seems to be a confounding disregard for the ubiquity of gun violence. I’m relieved that Mr. Trump wasn’t severely injured, and I hope that he and the attendees seek emotional help to ease the trauma they experienced. My thoughts and prayers go out to the innocent victims of this senseless act.
I believe that we can be better. We need to be better… but at some point, shootings stopped being shocking - and that is what’s shocking.
