Don’t just read the headlines and the body count.
These are babies, not body counts.
Anybody remember Emitt Till?
A young Black boy savagely beaten — then lynched and/or drowned.
Courageously, his mom insisted on an open casket to show the world how inhumane racists truly are . The pictures of his mutilated body in the coffin changed everyone’s mind about lynching.
A gruesome thought, but it might be the shock America needs to finally do something about guns.
We need a community burial service, with 19 tiny open caskets – for America to see the grotesque wounds on those little bodies.
I heard that most will only be able to be identified by their parents – based on their DNA, since their faces have been blown to bits and are now unidentifiable.
Let all of America see the gruesome results of our ridiculous, lax gun laws – 9 year olds with no face.
Sorry for the image, but I am that fed up.
Put their gruesome, blown up faces on every newspaper in America, and maybe America will wake up and finally enact reasonable gun control laws.
