Newtown CT

At this point, slaughtering children in school doesn’t even merit top billing on the evening news broadcasts.

Most shooters are young white men in primarily white middle-class schools, so now we are finally seeing serious attention being paid to gun violence.

Millions turned out to #MarchForOurLives nationwide. We’re bringing together video and photos from around the country and a livestream from DC.

In the aftermath of the Orlando massacre, those raising funds for victims took to heart lessons learned in Newtown and Boston.

The fact is that 20 sets of parents got the call I most fear, and that without warning the precious looks, kisses, hugs, innocent conversations and happiness that are my heart and soul treasures can abruptly end and be removed, forever. This event was terrorism because so many of us feel the searing pain of the poor families who are facing the reality of their loss. I wish to my soul that I could spare them the pain they feel, I wish it more than any other thing this Christmas, and take little solace in the fact that I get to hug my boys and take them in my arms still.

James Dobson dedicated his radio program this morning to discussing Friday’s tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut, which he attributed to the fact that God has “allowed judgment to fall upon us” because the nation has turned its back on him by accepting things like abortion and gay marriage.

Unspeakable tragedy, horrific crime, inexplicable — all words that inadequately describe the evil that was visited on a small New England town and its most vulnerable citizens Friday, its children. … My heart breaks for those families, who at what now should be a season of joy for them, have been forever marred by the violence visited upon them.

HRC: “The entire HRC family mourns today’s horrific tragedy in Newtown. We extend condolences, thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims as well as to the entire state of Connecticut which is still reeling from this senseless act violence.”
