What is Wrong with People? Victims are Being Re-Victimized

They called the police five times in ten minutes because a madman with a loaded AR-15 was coming after them.

By the time the police arrived five family members were slain by the next-door neighbor who is still on the run today.

The madman, Francisco Oropeza, entered the family's house and unloaded his Ar-15 into the room filled with a dozen people. Four adults and a nine-year old boy were ruthlessly cut down.

Two of the murdered adults died protecting babies with their bodies. 

What happened to cause this senseless slaughter?

Wilson Garcia the father of the slain boy and one of the adults (who was his wife) told authorities what happened in a chilling recital.

He asked his neighbor to quit firing his AR-15 from the front porch because the noise was going to wake his one-year-old baby. The neighbor ignored him. He called the police five times.

Prior to the mass shooting Garcia told his wife, Sonia Argentina Guzman, to "get inside the house. This man has a loaded weapon. My wife told me to go inside because 'he won't fire at me' I'm a woman."

This tragedy only gets worse because the victims were re-victimized by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott who tried to make the story about the fact the victims were illegal immigrants from Honduras. Like it was their fault for even being here.

This is another example of Abbott's hateful mind-set when he sent a public message to his constituents who are already flooded with deceiving, dehumanizing anti-immigrant rhetoric about the mass shooting.

Hard-core Republicans in Texas support Abbott's war on immigrants by enacting draconian measures against them whenever they can.

As it stands, what is wrong with people who treat others like they're not human?
