There was a mass shooting in a South Florida high school. Don Lemon, the CNN host reported that America was not on the list of such mass shootings or violence as compared to European countries.
Some people did not want to comment on the mass shootings in America.
Don has something to tell them,
“Shut up.”
Adding,
“You can save it. People who are saying, ‘Oh, y’know, it’s not the time to talk about guns’ or whatever. Yes, it is. Shut up. I don’t want to hear it. It absolutely is.”
He shares that one should talk about guns and people must be made aware of these incidents.
“So don’t tell me that it’s not time to talk about it. You talk to those people down in Florida who lost their loved ones. They’ll tell you it’s time to talk about it. ‘My loved one would be here if this shooter did not have access to an assault-style rifle.’”
