Simple Questions

I’ve been on a slow burn all year between the unjustified murders of Black people and the inadequate response by all levels of government to these murders. The shooting of three people at a protest rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin by a teenaged vigilante finally sent me over the edge. Here are a few simple questions that require answers. I’m not holding my breath that I’ll ever hear them.

  • What the hell was a 17-year-old kid doing with an AR-15 rifle that he wasn’t old enough to purchase?
  • Who purchased this rifle and the ammunition for him?
  • Why did this kid believe that he should cross the state line from his home and play cop with a deadly weapon?
  • Where were the responsible adults in this boy’s life who could have talked him out of going to Kenosha?
  • When will these shootings end?
