WASHINGTON (SINCLAIR BROADCAST GROUP) — Following the mass shooting in San Bernardino Wednesday, politicians flooded social media with reactions to the tragic event.
As police carried out a manhunt for the alleged shooters and the details surrounding their attack began to trickle out, friction over messages of commiseration arose.
As the Atlantic's Emma Green wrote: in the time after a mass shooting, some demand political action and others call for prayer.

How stupid can we get?
If your Against Prayer I hope you don't celibate Christmas.
Me I'm getting a little tired or all the "you/they are in our thoughts and prayers" lip service. Life is tough people die from all different circumstances. A life taken young or old through traffic accident or some other violent method is really no different than through natural causes. The result and loss are still just as tragic to the loved ones. Don't BS the public with lip service about thoughts and prayers when in reality you couldn't care less. Also quit using these tragedies to put forth an agenda no matter what it is or how it relates. That type of action is just totally crass and tasteless. Last but not least if you don't like guns have Congress repeal the 2nd amendment. Although the fact that the first 10 amendments are called the Bill of Rights should give anyone pause about wanting to repeal any of them(even though we have allowed the government/courts to do a heck of a job trampling on these rights in the past 20 years).
Because the real problem is that Donald is busy running his own life.
We don't know how many of these attacks have been prevented by prayer, do we?
