Am I the only one who noticed nobody in the streets protesting these outrages (and so many more)? Is it my imagination that in Israel and France people actually get upset enough to march? Are Americans asleep? When is the Supreme Court going to be surrounded by protesters? When are Thomas and his traitor wife going to be hounded every time they step out into the public eye?

We are like sheep or cattle or lemmings. Oh wait, some kids had the guts to make some noise. I guess they are more frightened than us. They certainly have good reasons. They have bulls eyes on their bodies. And their planet is under attack. Both issues - same villains.

In America, our children and their future are disposable. Inconveniences. Collateral damage.

In America, our children are important only in the womb, apparently. <eye roll>

Bill,

See my other comments. :-). No Americans are not asleep.

They are happy and contented with the present situation, as it is.

Mike S,

You may appreciate the voices of commentators who came before you to praise the extraordinary three legislators, two of whom were expelled, for extolling the need for gun control and the rights for all, while condemning the White Supremacists who have rejected the calls for tighter gun laws and make it more difficult for 'some' of us to vote.
