And then this. So sad. So horrifying. So DAMNED unnecessary.

I can't wrap my mind around why. WHY cause such misery and terror and needless bloodshed? Whoever did this - what's your point, assholes?

NEVER MIND whatever the religious extremists say (on a day when Donald Trump has reportedly picked another domestic religious extremist as his running mate, mind you). I can't imagine anyone going to Heaven after they've done something like this. Posted at a moment when the news says AT LEAST 77 are dead, and 50 more injured. And the point of this is... ? Just exactly what is to be gained by this? Do they really think this will gain them any sympathy for their cause or for their grievance or - for whatever?
