Do we want justice or revenge? Is the cause guns, locked doors, police, teachers, neighbors, family, neglect- of-shooter issues?

Decide and fix that. It’s the only way to fix this problem. Only way to give Uvalde kids a fitting memorial. Make Ramos the last. [Editor’s Note: Not gonna lie… I’d kind of like a little revenge.
