Say their names


Hannah Alhers - Wife and Mom of three kids
Heather Alvarado - Also a wife and mom of three
Dorene Anderson - Wife and mother

I was going to make a list of the murder victims of just a handful of infamous mass shootings but there are just too many. Those are just three of 60 citizens murdered in Las Vegas. 800+ wounded by gunfire or the panic to escape the massacre. Think about those numbers. No, REALLY think about what that means. A platoon of soldiers is about 1,000. If a platoon assaulted a hill in Vietnam and had come away with a 100% casualty rate, including an entire company killed, we would call it unacceptable and the commander would be relieved of duty. When that many people are machine gunned at a music festival in Las Vegas it's the price of freedom. Republicans are fighting to defend your rights to keep bump stocks. Republicans are some sick motherfuckers.

Mercedez Flores
Corey Connell

Three of 49 murdered in Orlando. 53 more wounded. Stop and think for a moment. I mean really try to visualize what that scene must have looked like. Think about 49 bloody bodies lying on the floor. 53 more praying for police and ambulances. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. But no worries. They were gay.

Lauren McCain
Erin Peterson

Just college kids sitting in classrooms in Blacksburg until the unimaginable. The world changed for me that day, and many others I'm sure. Another 32 people dead

And the most obscene of all
Jessica Rekos, age 6
Olivia Engel, age 6
Noah Pozner, age 6

So many kindergartners packed hiding in a bathroom that their poor lifeless bodies couldn't fall to the ground

What the actual fuck, Republicans? Yes, secede and make your own third world country. You can be Haiti. It's obviously what you want.
