I don't have a clear opinion on this tragedy but everything you wrote is hard to swallow knowing the verdict that came from it.

Guns, in the wrong hands, will always be a huge danger to all of us.

The outcome, had use of a gun not been a part of the scene, is impossible for anyone to know. What happened is over and done.

I guess if you are going to attend a protest you should sign a mental waiver in your head that says you could die and never come home, and accept that responsibility for your life.

Well written. Valid discussion points.
