“Every time I place my hand over my heart and remove my hat, I’m participating in a self congratulatory glorification of the ONLY country where these mass shootings take place,” Kapler wrote Friday morning. “Everyone has a choice in this country,” Girardi told reporters Monday in Philadelphia. “It’s not the choice that I’ll make.
