It’s sad. Another American parade was cut short today by a mass murder! Few people were at our parade and everyone was sad.

This isn’t the county I want to celebrate. We have to be better than this.

We are celebrating and doing some teaching with the kids about our founding fathers. I am sorry for the tragedy but we are not going to change how we observe.

What freedoms are we celebrating again? I would love to celebrate the freedom to go to our town’s parade without the fear of my kids heads getting shot off.

+1. Americans have no freedom. When will the rabid right understand that everything they are doing is denying freedom!

Says a guy who lives in his own private house making posts on an Internet with no fear of repercussions. Sure, no freedoms at all.

No freedom if I can’t take my little boy to a 4th of July parade or school without being afraid his head will be shot off.

You’re lucky (for now). The parents at the parade in Highland Park don’t have your luxury.

Judging from the posts here, I think many of you were either not alive during the attack on Sept. 11, 2001 or were too young to remember it.
One thing I learned from that...... we cannot change our behavior because of fear. When you do, the terrorists win.

+1. Yes, lucky for now. Glibness has a way of disappearing when you or someone you live is the victim. And the memory of your glibness will haunt you.

But we did “change behavior” drastically after 9/11 and laws were put into place so it hadn’t happened here since. That is not the case with mass shootings and the easy availability of deadly firearms. Had we changed as drastically as we did after 9/11 after Columbine, how many innocent lives would have been saved.
To the families of the Highland Park victims - they lost to the domestic terrorists forever.
