I saw this earlier. I’m so frustrated. I like and respect her but no.

After the shooting of an 11 year old in a road rage outside of a local minor league baseball game, our governor announced this order for the city. www.kob.com/new-mexico/open-and-concealed-carry-laws-suspended-in-albuquerque-bernalillo-county-for-30-days/There has been many shootings especially coming from teens with guns in just the last month. I don't know if this order makes people safer or makes gun owners want to be defiant. The quotes from politicians on the news were sad. One R said the governor is just using the recent deaths to push an anti-gun agenda. I just can't stop thinking of that poor boy after enjoying the baseball game. Especially because we go often and leaving there always has traffic like any event. Just why does a gun matter at all compared to children being killed so easily?

I’m sorry orangebird2020. It’s extra emotional when it hits close to home and you can almost feel like it happened to someone you know or a situation you are in often. There was a road rage shooting this week near me too. I don’t think it was fatal but haven’t heard an update on his condition. Just some freeway annoyance that led to a shooting. These things aren’t accidents when society just accepts a certain amount of deaths as inevitable in order to bow down to a weapon like it’s a god. It’s so frustrating.

Are there even any federal mandates in place? This is like the convoy driving the beltway to protest a whole bunch of stuff that wasn't even happening anymore. One classroom in one school in Silver Spring was asked to wear masks bc 4 kids were all out with covid and people are losing their minds One of the major hospitals out in Syracuse has reinstated it's mask mandate due to rising covid cases. That's the only place I knew of and Syracuse is pretty blue, so I don't think there's much eye batting about it.

How is requiring kids to wear a mask at school any different from requiring that they wear shoes? It's a health and safety concern either way. That was always my thoughts. Masks were a dress code for safety. You have a dress code at work, they added to it, get over it.

It's awful. And the largest event in the area in over 100 years.

We were just there last November and drove through the Atlas Mountains on our way from the desert to Marrakech. People live in caves on the mountainsides and I can only imagine the devastation and how hard rescues and recoveries will be. 😥
