4. Could they be more beautiful...no, it's not possible

I am so awfully sorry.

[erronis]

12. I don't want to compare their beauty to the ugliness of the villain(s)

Both in spirit and flesh, the comparison of this horror is unforgettable.

Perhaps that's why so many right-wing psychopaths are so angry - because they are ugly - inside and out. They are inferior and without redemption.

7. Shooting little girls as they worship ...

What could be more abhorrent?

17. On September 15, 1963, the KKK bombed

the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, murdering four little girls.

It was abhorrent then. It is more abhorrent now.

22. Cowards then, a coward now. Calling them animals would be an insult to the entire animal kingdom

8. I'm heartbroken about this.

My son was texting me from school today that he’d heard about this girl and her father being shot. We have so many friends in NZ and have been there so many times over the years. It is odd that this mass murder has hit him harder than the regular mass murders in this country.

9. I'm so sad about this.

Waseem and his precious little daughter in critical condition. I wish I could hold their hands.

[Vinca]

10. It's all so heartbreaking and needless. I hope they pull through.

[denvine]

11. There are no words, just tears!

[marieo1]

13. How sad and uncalled for

Prayers especially to this father and daughter, please, Lord, let them recover.

14. Sent positive energy

Just got home from swim class. Getting ready for dance class. I saw this story while cooking dinner. Then I just hugged my two girls tight, just now. They are roughly the same age this gentleman’s girls. My girls asked what was going on after I hugged them silently for a good 30 seconds and emerged a bit teary eyed. I said that we are sending out love and positivity to Waseem. My 7 year old asked, “who is Waseem?” I said “just a guy like me with girls like you and they were all hurt by a very disturbed bad guy”. My youngest (4 years old) was asking what happened to them. I said that I would tell her when she was older and we just need to send out our positive energy to Waseem and his girls right now.

15. Sickening

The scum who shot these people is THE lowest form of life on the planet.

16. And Our Cretin in Chief....

can't bring his filthy self to condemn the white terrorists. He says, our Donald...He says it is too early to say if the man was a white supremest. It doesn't matter to our Donald, our filthy Donald, that the guy said that he was a white supremest and that he credited our Donald as being a supporter of white supremacy.

Will pray for them, and for the others who are fighting for their lives in the hospital.
