"No One Can Say they Didn't See it Coming"

3. My wife heard this today in a waiting room

She was actually going to a job interview, and had to wait in a common waiting area with patients. She ended up arguing with them.

I heard the same thing today from the former state director of a United States Senator at a political cocktail party, and my wife said I was so visibly angry yet so perfectly still, she was afraid for a moment he would leave in a gurney and I would leave in handcuffs.

I have about reached me limit. This shit scum is manipulating a tragedy of staggering proportions to spread hate and derision for it's victims.

I don't know how many more time I can hear this, and do my polite southerner thing.
