Man, I really thought I'd been desensitized to shootings, but these two have really hit me hard. I still can't believe Christina Grimmie is gone - it just feels unreal. I'm kinda pissed people are trying to make memory shirts and make profit off of her death. Let her fucking rest in PEACE. #RIPChristina
I've also been feeling guilty that I've been feeling so much worse about Christina Grimmie's death than the Pulse shooting. Watching this video really helped me feel for Pulse like I did for Christina - because it helped me see this shooting as more than an event or a statistic but as real people who had families, friends, faces, names, and their own stories. I don't know how to find a solution to this, but it can't be ok for so many people to be dead because of their sexuality. Not even sexuality though, one woman was only their because she was dancing with her gay son - she was just showing how much she loved and accepted her son for who he was and that love resulted in her death. How could this happen?
