Is this grammatically correct?

The fact people are arguing on facebook about which tragedy is worse, the lack of media coverage of other tragedies and putting up posts mocking 'Pray for Paris' statuses when there are only a handful of posts condemning the terrorists goes on to show how messed up the world has become. All lives matter.
