@alanpaulk@HanyelPaulOkolo@KeneAkers We do feel shame and we bear the burden of it as well. It never matters how educated we are or smart we are, we are ALWAYS counted as criminals.
BREAKING: Kansas City Chiefs star player Justin Reid demands "real solutions" to America's gun violence after a horrific shooting ripped through his teams triumphant Super Bowl parade, killing at least 1 person and injuring 30.
"Kids are being shot and somebody didn’t come home tonight. We cannot allow this to be normal," Reid wrote on X (Twitter).
"We cannot ourselves to become numb and chalk it up to ‘just another shooting in America’ and reduce people in statistics and then move on tmrw," he added.
"This is a SERIOUS PROBLEM!! I pray our leaders enact real solutions so our kids’ kids won’t know this violence," he added.
Reid should be commended for calling out this country's dire gun problem. Unfortunately, "chalking it up" as just another statistic is exactly what Republicans want to do.
Democrats are offering sane, common sense gun laws like banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Republicans refuse to even consider new laws because they are owned by the NRA and gun manufacturers.
If we want real change in this country, the only way to accomplish it is by electing enough Democrats into power that they can outvote the Republicans. Until we do that, the tragedies will continue.
