While I understand the point of why he walked out, I still think he was wrong. I think it one of the things wrong today, we politicize everything. Now we politicize moments of silence. It is ridiculous.

Rep. Lieu said “I respect their right to do that and I myself have participated in many of them. But I can’t do this again. I’ve been to too many moments of silences. Just in my short career in Congress, three of the worst mass shootings in US history have occurred. I will not be silent. What we need is we need action, we need to pass gun safety legislation now.”

No one was telling him to be silence about whatever it is he thinks should be done about these mass shootings and guns. He doesn’t have to be silent about that stuff. All he had to do was remain silent for a moment in respect for those that died, then he could have screamed his head off. He acted like the moment of silence was some sort of attempt to silence debate about guns and mass shootings and used it like a catchphrase “I will not be silent” that is wrong.

Also a big bleep you goes out to Wil Wheaton. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/11/05/wil-wheaton-angers-people-faith-with-furious-tweet-at-paul-ryan.html He can criticize Paul Ryan for not doing all you think he should do in regards to mass shootings and guns and I might very well agree. What he shouldn’t do is criticize Ryan for saying the victims and their families need our prayers. There is nothing wrong with saying that. Saying people should pray, doesn’t at all stop one from doing whatever else you think he should or shouldn’t do. Criticize him for not passing gun control legislation, but don’t criticize him for saying people need prayer. Also, Wil, keep your bigotry towards religion to yourself and please remember that this shooting happened in a church, to church goers. I doubt they would object to people praying from them.
