From the equality of rights springs identity of our highest interests; you cannot subvert your neighbor's rights without striking a dangerous blow at your own. Carl Schurz

Children Becoming Collateral Damage

Christina-Taylor Green was nine years old. She was born on September 11, 2001. She died on January 8, 2011 in Tucson, along with a federal judge and four others in a shooting targeting her Congresswoman.

Brisenia Flores was nine years old. She died on May 30, 2009 in Arivaca, Arizona,when Minutemen (and women) charged into her home and shot her and her father.

Ali Kinani was nine years old. He died on September 16, 2007 in Baghdad, Iraq, the youngest victim in a Blackwater shootout

What all of these children have in common is that they were killed by American guns, with American bullets and American shooters.
