Hate and racism is wrapped in the same package. The Aurora attack in the Movie theater, and the Columbine and Connecticut school attack are carried out by hating individuals. It is surprising to see how many from diverse cultures came out to support the Trayvon Martin protests after the trial. This is a pleasant realization that there is a balance of concern in the hearts of Americans across the nation. "The Century 16 auditorium was packed – 421 men, women and children who had turned out for a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises." When a bizarre figure, helmeted and clad in black, appeared before them in a cloud of smoke, they reacted with bemusement and amazement, shock and confusion and – finally – horror. Twelve people died, 70 were injured, and more than 300 fled into the night and into the arms of loved ones. A year later, the survivors cannot forget their terror, or the injuries they suffered, or their losses. But they search for meaning, and sometimes find it: the victims whose faith has strengthened; the father who lost his son but found a cause; the couple who believe that the anniversary of a hateful act can be transformed by love." We view the Trayvon Martin murder in a vacuum, but these families likewise are still hurting from the act of one hateful person. As a nation we need to come together to get the root cause of our disgrace out of the hands of Racists, and haters. GUNS! They have led the U.S. to lead the world in the numbers of citizens killed randomly at the hands of those who hate for no reason.
