That response concerns US where every kid has a bazooka and a wounded man can pull a trigger. Melbourne is in Australia and Ned Kelly had a carbine but not the knife-man. Many domestics involve knives - why does Oz have to be New York?

I just found this on Facebook:

"Jemel Roberson put his life on the line to stop a mass shooting at Manny’s Blue Room Bar in a Chicago suburb last night. Not only did he return fire, stopping the shooter - he chased the shooter down the street as he tried to escape, pinning him under his own body weight, and waited for the police to arrive at the scene, ensuring the safety of everyone around him. I don't know many people who would have been so courageous. Do you?

Jemel, a beloved son, father, and musician in his community church, worked as a security guard at Manny's and dreamed of becoming a police officer one day. He was 26 years old.

When the police arrived at the scene, they shot and killed Jemel as onlookers cried: "He's a security guard!" "He saved us!"

The shooter was taken safely into police custody.

One of the men was black. But you didn't need me to tell you that part, right?

In the moments before his death, I imagine the thoughts that might have been going through Jemel's mind. "I stopped a mass shooting! I saved everyone!" Was he thinking about how grateful the police officers would be for his courage when they arrived? Thinking about how proud his friends and family would be when he returned home to them a hero? Was he thinking about the beginning of his own career as an officer? We will never know.

Please say his name with me tonight. Please help me make his memory the heroic one that he deserves. No one will tell this story if we don't."

To put it simply, all types of gun violence is wrong and one cannot pick and choose, based on their own moral values. Any revenge attacks will also affect others down the track. More people end up dying and it's simply not worth it.

To put it simply, Nathan, it is because of 'gun violence' that you are using a 'qwerty' keyboard and not a Japanese one.

Men who attack their domestic family are enemy soldiers invading Australia. Do you hear voices in the clouds , Is Mise?

No, but I do read some wacky posts lately.

If one wishes to use a Japanese keyboard, or more likely speak Japanese, language is something that has developed over time and has a strong meaning and development to it. Language passes on messages to others, that one can appreciate.

Guns do not do that.

Language, like Japanese, is something that many use to communicate between one another. It therefore has a strong meaning and has been passed on from one generation to another.

Gun violence and the use of such weaponry only sees people affected in ways that are negative, with no heart, care or love involved. The use of guns has no value and really should not be attached to the Japanese. Their life, culture and sense of living deserve better than that.
