'Do something!': Ohio governor drowned out by angry chants at Dayton shooting vigil

Microphone in hand, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) had just finished remarking on the size of the crowd that was crammed tightly into the brick-covered main street of the Oregon District in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday night when a single voice rang out.

“Do something!” the person shouted. Seconds later, another voice echoed the demand. Others quickly joined in, “Do something!” they yelled. Their cries grew louder with each iteration until what started as just a smattering of voices had morphed into a deafening chant that reverberated around the historic street near where nine people were killed and 27 injured in the weekend’s second mass shooting early Sunday morning.

The impassioned chanting, which interrupted Sunday’s vigil in Dayton, went viral on social media and represents yet another manifestation of the public’s frustration with elected officials in the wake of back-to-back massacres carried out by people armed with assault-type weapons.

Now is the time to heal. Now is not the time for action. We’re doing everything we can.

NO you’re NOT you disgusting paid off shitweasels. BAN repeat action guns. Confiscate the ones already out there. No grandfathering. No excuses. Levy a fine or jail time on those who refuse to comply. THATS a BEGINNING.

Racism is Trump's bread and butter. Republicans won't challenge him They are afraid of him, the NRA and right-wing/evangelical voters.
