Sounding Off Against Violence

Fellow countrymen,

I am horrified at the act of violence committed this morning. When our country was founded the principles it was founded upon allowed us to have elected government officials. We are given avenues to voice our opinions and are protected by law that we may always have that right. Violence against elected officials is an offense against the system that all of us participate in each time we vote. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Violence is NEVER justified, especially in this manner.

I'm reaching out to community leaders, parents and other concerned citizens this morning to work against any violence in our society. The rights we have been given to bear arms and express our opinions are privileges and should be treated as such. There is never justification for acts of violence like this. Take a moment to express your support against violence of any kind, especially those who are serving our country whether it be as a politician, service man, a member of a police force, or a teacher.

Sincerely,

Jamie King
