This past weekend, when we all should have been able to celebrate a three-day weekend to mark the proverbial end of the summer, we were instead hit with both a heartbreaking mass shooting in Texas and a hurricane set to hit the Southeast. The shooting, which occurred in Odessa, Texas, took the lives of at least seven people and injured over 20. Meanwhile, Hurricane Dorian already has accumulated at least five deaths in the Bahamas and has caused mandatory evacuations from numerous counties in Florida — with possibly many more to come.
However, during a time where all of us, as Americans, should unite and rebuild, we instead immediately jump at the opportunity to attack one another. One would think that fighting pure human evil or protecting and helping our neighbors find refuge and rebuild from a devastating storm would be uniting forces. They certainly should be.
