Everyone grieves differently!

How will CNN & The New York Times blame Trump for this?
35 bullets saved
Doesn’t the same thing frequently happen in Mecca?
The sheeple act like stampeding cattle. I’m surprised this isn’t happening at the Democrat conventions.
It shows us that we are dealing with a bunch of 7th century animals that will never adapt to the changing world and need to be put down.

If Trump says something deep in the forest where no Democrat hears him, is he still wrong?
I read that several Iranians were shot and killed for not attending the funeral protest march.
@$$holes!!!
I love a happy ending.
That is not a shock. Thank you for the info.
