Stop the Hatred

There was a horrendous hate crime committed this morning at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA and 11 people died. Several more were injured including the responding police officers. 

Already the threads of hate and sarcasm are lighting up social media sites including Facebook. 

I wonder how long people can go without shouting at one another about someone's race, religion, status as an American citizen, career choice, the President, political party and so much more. 

Out of respect for the dead and wounded, the families of the dead and wounded and for the people who have had to witness this carnage and hate, can't we stop for a while? The key word here is hate, why perpetuate it?
