Velveteen Dream Weighs In On The Recent School Shootings; Sends A Heartfelt Message To The Youth Of America
Patrick Clark shares his thoughts.
In the midst of the number of school shootings that have taken place in 2018 alone there has been an outcry from the public to put an end to it. One individual who chimed in is current NXT star Patrick Clark, or better known as the Velveteen Dream. Dream shared a detailed message onto his official Twitter page that he normally does not speak out of character on but the issue at hand brought Patrick Clark to the forefront as he sent a message the youth of America; apologizing on behalf of the entertainment industry and the pop culture world while explaining his thoughts on what he thinks the root of the problem is.
“Children Of America,
I’m sorry. My heart breaks as news of ANOTHER shooting takes my timeline hostage. The Government, the Education system, and Law Enforcement continue 2 fail U. As I sit thinking of the entertainers like myself, who collect paychecks stained by the tears of so many discouraged Americans, I SAY SORRY.
We the Pop Cultural leaders of the current generation R failing U. We have a responsibility 2 speak and act in a manner that promotes POSITIVITY & HOPE.
Yet we play blind as if we can’t see anything past the bright lights we perform under.
We play deaf as if we can’t hear anything over the sounds of adulation and grandeur.
I Hear The Screams Of Tormented Souls and The Parade of Bullets flying through the air. I smell the fear of the children and It makes me weak.
Children R The Future and a lack of Future makes our nation weak.
I’M SO SORRY That We’ve Failed U.”
On a lighter note the Velveteen Dream teamed up with Ricochet on the latest episode of NXT TV to take on “The Leviathan” Lars Sullivan in a 'Handicap' match. Fightful did have coverage of that specific episode of NXT and to catch up on what transpired during the show, click here.
