Staff Reports
In yet another shocking incident, a woman was shot after attending a funeral in Southeast Washington, D.C. Can you believe it? Funerals, supposedly a time for grieving and coming together, turning into scenes straight out of an action-packed movie. It’s enough to make your conservative blood boil!
According to the reliable folks over at Fox 5, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) rushed to the scene after receiving reports of shots being fired at none other than a church. Yes, a church! Is nowhere safe anymore?

Witnesses say that as mourners were leaving the New Macedonia Baptist Church, the peaceful atmosphere was shattered by the sound of gunshots. Can you imagine the terror they must have felt? It’s a tragedy that even sacred spaces are being tainted by violence.
Now, let’s get to the real meat of the story. Apparently, two individuals decided to take their post-funeral blues to a whole new level and got into a heated argument. But instead of resorting to a civil conversation or even a round of rock-paper-scissors, one of the individuals allegedly took it upon themselves to shoot the other, a woman no less. It’s a sad state of affairs when emotions lead people down such a dangerous path.
Thankfully, at least for now, the victim is said to be in stable condition. But hold the applause because this isn’t an isolated incident. Fox 5 reports that this marks the third shooting related to funerals in the area in just a few months. What is happening to our society when attending a funeral becomes a risky affair?
In fact, just last month, a funeral company owner allegedly went on a shooting spree during a funeral near Washington, D.C. It’s like these criminals have zero respect for the sanctity of life and the solemnity of such occasions. It’s high time we take a hard look at the root causes of this increasing violence and address them head-on.
Folks, it’s clear that our law enforcement agencies need all the support they can get to tackle this rising wave of funeral-related crime. It’s also high time we reflect on the deterioration of values in our society. Let’s come together as conservatives and demand a safer, more civilized world for future generations.
