“ ‘We have an opportunity to elect candidates who won’t allow kids to go to school and get shot. It is disgusting how many times this has happened and Republicans do nothing,' she tweeted. 'You all have blood on your hands.’”How many choked on frustration upon reading the words of ‘reality star’ Kim Kardashian?
“Kim Kardashian was just one of the celebrities NOT sending thoughts and prayers to Florida on Wednesday. (DailyMail) “The 37-year-old took to Twitter to instead demand action from the government, after yet another American gun massacre left at least 17 dead Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. 'We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school,' she tweeted. 'Prayers won't do this: action will. “‘Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence.’ “The reality star retweeted a number of stats that continuously show up in the wake of these tragedies, such as how many were carried our with the infamous AR-15 assault rifle; or how every air passenger must take off the shoes because if one shoe-bombing attempt, yet after 1606 mass shootings gun law remains the same.”Mark Ruffalo saw fit at this time of unspeakable tragedy to condemn prayer as useless, and went on to pretend to know “the prayer of the Saints” in Heaven:
“Mark Ruffalo agreed: 'Prayers without accordant action are silent lies told to oneself, heard by no God, amounting to nothing. Action is the language of truth, the prayers of the Saints.’” (DailyMail)Leading the political howling anti-gun wolf pack, but not the only one, was treacherous Senator Diane Feinstein:
Another mass shooting. Reportedly another AR-15. My bill to ban assault weapons is ready for a vote. How long will we accept weapons of war being used to slaughter our children?

“For example, in 2011, less than .012 percent of the overall deaths in America were tied to “assault weapons.” And more recently, in 2016, FBI statistics show that four times as many people were stabbed to death than were killed with rifles of any kind.”In spite of the magnitude of hatred and hurt hurled their way as the bodies of the innocent were still warm; even though publicity hounds and elected officials ridicule them for praying, people still pray for the Creator’s Mercy. Don’t let the publicity # and exploiters of tragedy take away our turning to prayer. It is all we really have. Dear God, let us keep the faith even as we prepare for the burial of so many loved ones; keep those cut down within view of your Most Holy Face; comfort all loved ones left behind, keep us living in undying hope of a better day. Amen.
