| Last night’s shooting in Lafayette happened in a “gun-free zone”, just thought you’d like to know that. |
Yet his 6 and one half years of occupying the desk at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue hide a sinister statistic – America has had 21 mass shootings since he became president, and yesterday’s mass killing in Lafayette now brings that total to 22. And since this is a list of shootings only, it does not include the Boston Bombing Massacre that Obama used to roll out martial law for a 24-hour period in Boston. How do you explain that?
July 23, 2015 — Lafayette, LA — 3 dead, 9 injured. Three people were killed and nine wounded when a lone gunman opened fire in a Lafayette movie house Thursday evening.

Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Nine were transported to area hospitals, eight by ambulance and one by private party. One victim died at a hospital. As of the date of this writing, Obama has made no comment.

June 17, 2015 — Charleston, SC — 9 dead. Dylann Roof allegedly opened fire inside a historically Black church in Charleston, S.C., killing 9. The next morning, Obama spoke from the White House about the shooting. “I’ve had to make statements like this too many times. Communities like this have had to endure tragedies like this too many times. We don’t have all the facts, but we do know that, once again, innocent people were killed in part because someone who wanted to inflict harm had no trouble getting their hands on a gun. Now is the time for mourning and for healing,” he said.

Once more, soldiers who survived foreign warzones were struck down here at home, where they’re supposed to be safe. We still do not yet know exactly why, but we do know this: We must honor their lives, not “in word or talk, but in deed and in truth,” he said.

Six days later,Obama spoke at a memorial service for the victims. “Alongside the anguish of these American families, alongside the accumulated outrage so many of us feel, sometimes I fear there’s a creeping resignation that these tragedies are just somehow the way it is, that this is somehow the new normal. We can’t accept this,” he said.
