Celebrities Respond To Sutherland Springs Tragedy

By Chris Conde

Just nothing. No words. Numb. Again. May everyone affected in Texas rest in and find peace.

Prayers are what the victims were doing. If you respond to these attacks with prayers but no action, you are protecting the next murderer.

“If you respond to these attacks with prayers but no action, you are protecting the next murderer,” wrote Josh Groban in a tweet Sunday, November 5 responding to the deadly shooting in Sutherland Springs.

Groban's tweet is just one of many musicians and artists lending their support and offering condolences for the Texas community.

The church shooting happened barely a month after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Vegas killing nearly people.

While "thoughts and prayers" are part of these celebrities' messages, a call to action for better gun laws seems to be a common sentiment among these famous folks.

Prayers for #SanAntonio and all the families who are suffering the loss of loved ones. I’ll pray also for #GunControl

If you’re good hearted and trying your hand at apathy today because it sucks to hurt again, 1. Me too. 2. It’s not working for me either.

They were in a church that was full of prayers. They need a government who will enact common sense gun laws. #GunControlNow https://t.co/M1wTIe4G01
