Google "July 4" and a fireworks animation plays over breaking news of a mass shooting

I was debating this with myself earlier and I ended up deciding that celebrating my country wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, so long as I was mindful of all the bad actors at play.

Edit: To clarify, what I mean is that the 4th should be a day of celebration for the country but also a day to reaffirm your belief that the country can be pulled back from the precipice it currently stands on.
