The violence continues as the nation mourns more increase in racial violence in El Paso Texas
After 22 people were shot to death at a Walmart in El Paso over the weekend, a Florida retiree found herself imagining how her grandchildren could be killed. A daughter of Ecuadorean immigrants cried alone in her car. A Texas lawyer bought a gun to defend his family.
For a number of Latinos across the United States, the shooting attack in El Paso felt like a turning point, calling into question everything they thought they knew about their place in American society. Whether they are liberal or conservative, speakers of English or Spanish, recent immigrants or descendants of pioneers who put down stakes in the Southwest 400 years ago, many Latinos in interviews this week said they felt deeply shaken at the idea that radicalized white nationalism seemed to have placed them — at least for one bloody weekend — in its cross hairs.
Hate filled shooter Kills 22
Patrick Crusius
HATE filled rhetoric by the POTUS has provided the fuel for this and other violence in American social Milieu.
The response will continue to be felt by the citizens of this country.
Only a change of heart can stop the carnage.
