How sad and ugly. Lying there on the cold, dirty, wet concrete is the collective labor of maybe a thousand humans or more that went into the procurement, refinement and manufacture of those ugly objects, meant only to kill. This is what we have left for each other in this country. Messages on metal shells conceived in the hell of our existence, made only to kill each other.

None of this is okay.
