Jon Stewart of Charleston Shooting.. (7)

Okay. There was a shooting in a black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Then Jon Stewart, from The Daily Show apologizes for not being able to make jokes about gun violence anymore. He continues on to say that America goes on and spends trillions of dollars fightign other nations to keep Americans safe, but they can't keep them safe from the people trying to start a civil war here. He even touches on racism, as it was a racist act.

Here's a piece of the article.

"I honestly have nothing other than just sadness, once again, that we have to peer into the abyss of the depraved violence that we do to each other in the nexus of a gaping racial wound that will not heal yet we pretend doesn't exist," Stewart said. "I'm confident, though, that by acknowledging it — by staring into that — and seeing it for what it is, we still won't do jack shit.

"Yeah. That's us. And that's the part that blows my mind."

"What blows my mind is the disparity of response between when we think people that are foreign are going to kill us and us killing ourselves."

It's actually kind of sad, because it's true.

>>"I'm confident, though, that by acknowledging it — by staring into that — and seeing it for what it is, we still won't do jack shit."

Is nobody else noticing this?? "Protecting" rights to bear arms, "protecting" the sanctity of marriage, "protecting" the life of an unborn fetus.

>>4 Happens to me too. But then, like you, I add it. Simple. Some people just lose their shit if you tell them to add a link or summary. Sigh...
