Sadly, one act of violence can possibly lead to another. This has been making the rounds on Facebook among some of my Hispanic friends.
Now is the time for Texans, especially those of Mexican heritage to exercise their right to bear arms. While the media, political parties, and your friends argue whether or not targeted violence against a certain segment of American society exists and if it’s a growing trend, arguing who caused it or why it happened, our duty is to protect ourselves and our loved ones. It’s our natural right to do so. I pray this is the last time this happens, that somehow we can change, deter, or stop those very few irrational people who live amongst us that want to hurt us for not being exactly like them. However because of what happened in El Paso, life in Texas has changed forever. As has been the case throughout American history, it’s up to us to protect us.
