I honestly believe he was trying to send a political message. I have a hard time believing it was just coincidence. (these times have made me very cynical).

shirt like that! How piggish. Sorry about his daughter, but to advertise you are with the crazy NRA humpers and exploitative con men is not good judgment.

He jumped into his truck and drove to the school to look for
his daughter. The Trump tee shirt was just his usual attire.
Maybe when he took it off, he had some sort of epiphany and
is now rethinking his second amendment responsibilities.

For his daughter, I have sympathy. If there were some way to make him feel the loss without actually taking a life...

the man he voted for abolished the law that helped keep guns out of the mentally unstable hands. There is a direct line from his vote to what happened.

whose death was in part due to her father’s voting record. He is an accomplice not a victim. NRA is only as powerful
as it continues to receive support.

I can disagree with his vote, I can find it insipid even. But he didn't give the guy a gun, or make him decide to murder and injure others.

Is exactly what one gets.

A hard lesson - like an out of no where - nasty firm slap to the face.

Wisdom, caution, and forethought can protect you and your dreams and those of your loved ones from being transformed into your worst nightmares that haunt you into eternity. But it requires that you plan and think ahead rationally - beyond the superficial moment you may be in right at the very second.

Do not blindly pray or worship at the alter of weakness and stupidity even though it is cleverly masquerading as purveyor of hyper masculinity, stability, wisdom, intelligence, and incorrectly but laughingly so - having professed being beyond genius. As Trump has so often and repeatedly done with deception and deviousness.

You may wake up and find that you have been hoodwinked and been had, and dealt yourself a bad hand from a bad deck of cards and should have never placed a bet or gambled the life of your family at such a horrific game of chance.

Trump is not your savior or your salvation... He is the worst monster and the worst nightmare to yet be inflicted upon the unified commonwealth that we often refer as the United States of America.

Job one of the citizenry is to get Donald J. Trump out of the Oval Office and off the White House compound - never to return again. Then prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

You should have recognized this need and joined in the cause long ago.
