A Nation In Mourning

The United States is in mourning after a 24 year old suspect, James Holmes, killed 12 people and injured 59 others at the opening of the latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.

From all reports the tragedy had been well planned as the suspect apparently had several guns and other substances that were used in his deadly massacre.  This senseless act will certainly stir up questions about gun laws in this country.  Many are wondering if politicians will have the nerve to "do the right thing" and not only press for changes in gun laws, but also enact changes before more innocent lives are lost.  No longer should politicians who are funded by the NRA be voted into office.  No longer should innocent Americas have to die because every and anybody is allowed to go out and buy as many guns as he/she wants only to end up carrying out mercy less acts as the Aurora shooting.  

Many of the dead and the injured are believed to be young people.  While the identity of most of the dead have not yet been officially released among them is said to be Jessica Ghawi, a sportswriter who survived a mass shooting at a mall in Toronto, Canada just last month on June 2nd.

We extend condolences to the family of the deceased and our prayers and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery go out to the injured victims.
