7 Mass Shootings in 7 Days...in the USA

Tragedy on all levels...throughout our country...the MASS SHOOTINGS!...where is it safe?...seems like we had this conversation a while back...the exact same one...at that time, we were talking church, movie theater, night club, school, even grade school, recreation yard, in cars, on military bases...the list goes on and on...add to that recently, massage parlors and now...grocery stores...what the H?...in fact, we have had this in the USA...>

7 Mass Shootings in 7 Days!...

Usually, the mode of the killings is via the AR-15...accompanied by a handgun or two...shoot, I may have the name of the assault rifle wrong... I am not a gun toter...but, the fact that they are readily available for anyone, is beyond me...the common man does not need one of these...shouldn't have it...and there should be a law against it...of course, one of the first defendants of the gun, was the NRA this am...guns don't kill, but people do...right, but if they weren't readily available, the % would certainly go down...

Colorado, who has had way too many mass shootings...has to deal with the one yesterday...the Q is always, WHY?...10 people murdered this time...10!!!...imagine the heartache of all...for you who believe otherwise, it's your prerogative...but, I think, in these cases, the death penalty shall be available...not mandatory, but available...

Let's move on to more calming things....sorry...

Maybe not so....the dilemma on the southern border...the amount of youth that have traversed over it...forget about political crap for the time being...BUT, the fact that people would risk their lives to flee their country where they were born...for a chance elsewhere...I hear the Americans say, but not here...is this 'our' problem?...the world's former police force....I don't have an answer...just a query like you or I must have...

Have to go the Big Dance...as another one of the 'favorites' was whittled down by a Pac 12 team, the mighty Ducks of Oregon...whupped Iowa easily...and...how about USC rocking Kansas?...wooah...5 of the sweet sixteen are from the Pac 12...so wrong were the ESPN pundits...so wrong...Prez O was right on...as was Bill Walton...hmmm....

In the Ladies version...the Ducks won over South Dakota, who actually missed like 25 straight shots in the 1st half...ah, what?...25!...many were clangers, too...

The passing of one of my fav hoopsters of all time...Elgin Baylor...86...a Laker star...but, was a 'hero' of mine when he played at Seattle U in the late 50's...I actually had a coach that played on the same team with him, Roger Judd, when he was at the College of Idaho, his first years of hooping in college...

The spring break mess in Miami...throwing BEYOND caution to the wind...their lives...terrible...

Snooki's song of the day...'Leave The Door Open' by Bruno Mars, Anderson, Paak & Silk Sonic...OK, my older elder PNW senior citizen, you have me baffled on this one...you are so much more hip on current tunes, than moi...I confess...

You watching Idol?...they had duets last nite...it was cool...there is some real talent...too early to figure the top 5 yet...
