The events of friday IMO just changed this nation.

That man did not just kill those women and babies...he mutilated them with his bullets.

I have my doubts that this tragedy had little to do with her planned proposal. I think by now she keeps a fresh copy printed out with dates and proposal numbers left blank so she can just fill in the dates/numbers as required until next session rolls around.

However, this act of EVIL that hapened friday, just changed the landscape. This act just devastated a nation.

The perp did not just kill these babies. It was not a single shot. He mutilated their bodies with up to eleven bullets! Eleven!
