The poor kid on MSNBC needs some serious support about now.

In case you haven't seen it, MSNBC interviews a couple of teenaged girls in the wake of the Parkville shooting. One girl held it together pretty well, be the other kid was a mess. She was clearly traumatized, and I hope someone stepped in and took her to counseling or something. It's really sad. Rubio and Cruz will take more millions, and this poor child has had her life tuned upside down.

The one who is stoically holding up may need more help than the one who is demonstrative. It is heartbreaking and infuriating simultaneously.

Some will cry more than others, but silence worries me most. I hope they all, including the parents of the deceased and the survivors, as well as the staff and first responders have a way to talk about the pain.

So many are traumatized right now.

The only positive that I hope for, is that the American people start to see who (in congress) shows up with platitudes and who demands action. The two parties are not the same.
