@Thewagman63 do you have a dollar

This is becoming more and more common and people have become so desensitized to this, it’s gross.

budondaddda1xOct 5 at 6:28 PM

People aren’t desensitized. Everyone thinks they know how they’d feel—until the bullets are whispering over their heads.

There is more going on around the world for us to be turning on each other like this. Always remember they want us divided, they want us fighting because if we all stood together they wouldn’t stand a chance at controlling us. When you start finding peace within and treating people who are different to you with respect, the people in control can’t win. Wake up in the morning and choose love and respect.

@outofworkactress you have spoken louder than anyone else I’ve been reading about!!! Thank you!!! Let’s wake up… We must stop wasting time on words and take proper action against the violence… when you take to the streets in positive ways we will bring our light of prosperity and show our power.. true power

The sad part when you’re not longer surprised at these notifications, you just wonder “where at this time” instead …
