Dear American friends

What the fucking fuck?

I mean, I know that you are all also saying what the fucking fuck, because we're friends and all, but, fuck …

I am rarely reduced to spluttering profanity, but when you have one state banning abortion one day and another legalising murder the next …

Seriously, if any of you like marsupials, I do recommend Sydney or Melbourne. It's not perfect here, but it's much less grim if you're not a wealthy white man.

You're all going to stay and try to fix things, aren't you? Because you've got that American capability and boundless hope. In which case, GOOD LUCK! I believe in Americans like YOU! And those other fuckers can fuck right off.

I came form a country where the majority of people have probably never seen a real gun IRL and most probably never will, and this case just baffles me to no end.

Watching Anderson Cooper trying to be his impartial self even infuriated me, and I couldn't watch the trials in details as it's very upsetting.

I hope the American people are doing something about this. John Oliver (Of Jon Stewart's Daily Show fame) did a very interesting report on gun control in Australia that your fellow countrymen applied after a gun massacre to show how the system could honestly work. I feel like every body should watch that.

My thoughts and prayers are for the child's family and friends.
