#americas problem

[ufilme]

We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand. We all agree tonight, all of the speakers have agreed, that America has a very serious problem. Not only does America have a very serious problem, but our people have a very serious problem. America's problem is us. We're her problem.

I want to know what was going through your head.

Why the day of love was the day you chose to be the day of fear.

Why you would go back to take lives of people who wanted to finish the day.

They were going to go home. They were ready to go home.

Parents were going to ask how their day was or even just make them dinner.

They had plans for the weekend.

They had plans for their future.

You must not have had many for yours.

Taking their lives wouldn’t bring your mother back.

She would be embarrassed to see what she left in the world.

The leader of our free world commented that you “show signs of mental instability.”

The jaded people around us have nothing to say but

“Shit happens.”

Don’t they realize the pipes are clogged?

The plumber called Gun Control could do so much but Uncle Sam doesn’t want to look like he can’t fix his family by himself.

I want to know what is going through America’s head.

Why this happened in a county deemed “safest” last year.

Why people under 18 with mental illnesses are defined as snowflakes and “don’t know what the real world is like.”

This is the real world.

The world is unforgiving.

The world is plagued.

The people are sick.

The world is sicker.

Joking is a coping mechanism found in near everyone.

The laughter is trying to silence the gunshots in the halls of the 18 schools just this year.

Silence will never be kept.

After this weekend, Uncle Sam’s carpet will grow in size.

The gun problem swept underneath once more.

Those nameless souls join it.

The rug is so lumpy with our problems and controversy.

A civil conversation is unheard of.

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”

Yes, people normally kill people with weapons like guns.

Mental illness is not an excuse for evil.

Mental illness should not be tied in with shootings.

Lack of control is bound with shootings.

The lack of self control.

The lack of law control.

You are a problem people will forget the name of.

You had potential and wasted it while taking others.

You are an example of America’s problem.

You are a murderer.
