I consider myself pretty disconnected from the world because I don't have cable television. In fact, I often intentionally avoid media news. I first learned of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando through posts on Facebook early Sunday morning. Immediately I pulled a live news feed up on my laptop to learn all that I could about the horrific event.
I am sickened by this weekend's violent attacks in Orlando. I am shocked, heartbroken, and numb. Pulse is a mere 3 miles away from where I sleep at night. I drove by Pulse 17 hours before the shooting began on my way home from my Saturday morning run. Orlando is my City!
