Can never figure out if it's satire, sarcasm or you're just being ... contraire.

interesting actually ... The headlines have been all about violence and racial discrepancies, while more people continue to die each year by suicide via guns!

At least so far, this was 2020.

19,350 gun homicides in 2020

Gun suicides 24,245 in 2020.

That's Dee. In the olden days, she spoke her mind as far as anyone knew or cared.

Adding at least 8 make that 10* more to the count. Would 8 make that 10* Hail Marys on the rosary be appropriate? 

It's a black neighborhood if that makes a difference.

*While I was composing my witty comments, the number of casualties changed from 8 to 10.  I don't know, 10 Hail Marys seems excessive ?

Amerie Jo Garza, 10

“So the gunman went in and he told the children, ‘You’re going to die.’ And she had her phone and she called 911. And instead of grabbing it and breaking it or taking it from her, he shot her,” Arreola added. “She was sitting right next to her best friend. Her best friend was covered in her blood.”

Can you conjugate mass shooting responses?  I see where Ted Cruz drops the thoughts part and now just concentrates on 'fervently' praying.
