We need to SEE IT. [View all]

This shooting is proof that if Americans can SEE what these killings look like, there WILL be outrage, and then...change. Yes, it's horrific. Now imagine what that same round does TO THE BODY OF A CHILD.
We need to start releasing victims' photos of these mass shootings...not to make us numb to the violence, but to make us NOT.
(IMHO, ymmv)
As always, disagreements are WELCOME, that's why we're all here.

Thats feels like a legit counterargument. Volaris Friday #7

No we don't. The body count is graphic enough. The pictures are like porn to the RW, deny them their jollies. marble falls Friday #6

The body count didnt mean shit to them until one of their own got clipped, Volaris Friday #9

I have always said the same thing. Irish_Dem Friday #8

Disagree. I'm not against seeing it but it won't change many minds JI7 Friday #10
