Michelle Quist: Our paralysis of action is almost worse than the shooting itself

Really, there is nothing to say. Nothing, at least, that hasn’t already been said.

Nothing that can placate the sting of death caused by senseless murder of the recent mass shootings in Texas and Ohio. And California. And Florida. And Nevada. And South Carolina.

Not tragedy. Murder. The grave hath no victory, but that doesn’t do much to assuage the loss and anger of those left behind.

Angry at the sick souls who perpetuate these horrific crimes. Angry at the platitudes that follow, including this one. But mostly, angry at our own failure to do anything about it.
