Last night, at a country bar called Borderline in Thousand Oaks, California, tragedy hit the country music community again. Former Marine Ian David Long went in with a handgun and killed 12 people, including students there for College Night, and a deputy who went in trying to save lives.

Unbelievably, some of the people who survived last night’s shooting were also at last year’s Route 91 Harvest Festival when that horrible mass shooting happened, including an employee of the Borderline Bar. One of last night’s survivors who was also in Las Vegas during last year’s attack told CBS News, “We’re all a big family and unfortunately this family got hit twice.”

This is a bar where countless country stars have played and thousands of country music fans have gone to have a fun night out. Jerrod Niemann played there just last month. Singer/songwriter Aubrey Sellers, who is Lee Ann Womack’s daughter, had planned to be at Borderline last night, but at the last minute she changed her plans because her cat’s eye was swollen shut. Her cat may have saved her life.

I don’t have any answers. I know thoughts and prayers are getting cliché at this point, and they’re obviously not fixing the problem. But after we’ve done our part and voted for the people who are supposed to enact change, it often feels like thoughts and prayers are all we have left.

As of the time of writing this, not all of the people killed have been identified. But this is for Ventura County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Helus, Alaina Housley, Justin Meek, Cody Coffman, and all the others who lost their lives while just trying to have a fun night listening to some good country music.

Snoop Dogg says “don’t talk about it; be about it.” The legendary MC has been campaigning, promoting to his fans the seriousness of getting out to the polls and voting.

In conjunction with Levis, the Dogg was at the fashion powerhouse’s store in Santa Monica, taking to the wheels of steel at a rally to promote voting and voter registration.

“It was for Levis and trying to get people out there and vote. It was working in conjunction,” Snoop who spun such records as Notorious B.I.G.’s “Going Back To Cali” and YG’s “F--k Donald Trump” said. “We always try to get good music in the air so people can understand everything is for the right reason. To have the great vibe of having music be the backdrop to the forefront which is voting, in conjunction with Levis, is the main mission. It’s all about fun and putting awareness in the air.”

Like Snoop, a slew of celebrities have been out in full force telling people how pivotal it is to vote in this mid term election. The largest faction of stars were in Tallahassee, FL at a rally for Florida Governor candidate Andrew Gillum. Diddy, Fat Joe, DJ Nasty, Tiffany Haddish, Monica and Fat Joe all came out to show support. A few days ago we saw Oprah Winfrey, Jermaine Dupri and Chris Tucker come together for Stacey Abrams, who is running for Governor of Atlanta.

“It’s crucial,” Snoop insisted of the polls. “I mean look at the president. We don’t want that kind of disaster on no more levels of the game. The only way we effect [change] is to put our voices together and vote. Make some noise and pull our followers together and everybody that’s with us together in support of the right reason and get the right people in office.” 

Everyone will be tuned in tonight to see the election results.
