So while looking at the local paper this morning, I see a headline - House of Representatives offers its sympathy to Omaha - in response the the shootings at Westroads Mall.
I clicked on the link to read the story. I thought that was nice that as they started their week they were making an acknowledgement of what happened. But then I started to read the story.
"House members unanimously approved a resolution that expressed their "heartfelt sympathy" for the victims and their families and thanked local officials and emergency personnel for a quick response in securing the mall and the surrounding area."
Does it bother anyone else that they have to take a vote to issue a statement that as a group, public body, and elected officials they acknowledge what happened and are thinking of those affected? And that by taking a vote, it assumes that by chance there might have been someone who would have voted to not pass such a resolution.
