I realize I am not American. I am not a Texan. But I am a person. And I am so disturbed by this. It is unfathomable. UNFATHOMABLE. Where does it end? When white men have re-written all of history? Will our future be worship of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin etc. ?
I hope like hell there is an uprising in Texas. That the government there is voted out so they can do no more damage. I was watching a news clip today about actions taken during the Uvalde shooting. Answers are wanted as to why officers never rushed that room once in that hour long standoff. They prioritized their own lives over the lives of those 19 children. They were scared of that 18 year old and the gun he possessed.
The government in Texas right now are being forced to answer questions that they were hoping to avoid. All levels of government, all agencies involved are beginning to turn on one another. This is another black mark for Texas.
I visited Texas as a teenager with my mom and brother. And loved it. We were there to visit a close nursing friend of my mom’s. It was during the Iran-Contra hearings so they watched those most of the time. But the heat. The history. I loved all of that.
It is not Texas itself that I take issue with. It is the men and women who are driving it into the ground. I really hope that parents get angry. I really hope that people get out there and stop this travesty. I have faith that there are better people out there who will stand up and say no more.
I hope.
