CALL HIM WHAT HE IS: KILLER

-

Just two days before millions joined the March for Our Lives for gun control, Maryland school shooting victim Jaelynn Willey, 16, died after being taken off life support. Yet a news story called her murderous white boy killer, 17-year-old Austin Rollins, who came to school with a gun with the specific intention of killing her, a “lovesick teen.”

What a pile of stinking racist manure.

Hate-filled, yes. Sicko murderer, definitely. Lovesick? No.

If the killer had been black, he would have been called exactly what he was, a vicious murderer with access to a gun. If he’d been a Muslim, he would have been labeled a terrorist.

It’s past time for Americans to do two things: Remove guns from any homes with kids, and deal with the fact that most school shooters and mass murderers are not scary brown foreigners or black gangbanger­s, but white, middle-class Americans.

Thank God for the surviving Parkland kids, who managed to lead millions of people around the country to march for gun control.

As the prophesy foretold . . . and a little child shall lead them.
