    Actually, the third in 8 days...


    At least 8 killed in shooting at Texas' Santa Fe High School, sheriff says
    https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/18/us/texas-school-shooting/index.html

    While we all pray and hope for the victims, their families, and the communities, and hope that all schools are safer from similar attacks, I do also commend president trump for at least recognizing that these are happening too much and while I hope he isn't simply trying to avoid or redirect responsibility and instead will work towards a realistic solution.

    I feel uncomfortable having reporters shove a camera and mic on young kids who just witnessed human slaughter.

    many many many prayers sent, that's until you guys say something we don't want to hear.. then we'll take it back and call you crisis actors.
    god bless,
    the adults.

    There's probably an uptick because the end of the school year is coming. Nothing like a deadline to stop procrastination.

    Me too, but then, should those of us unaffected (this time) all get to just comfortably forget these events over and over?

    You mean he wasn't already looking for solutions with lawmakers? It's not like this school shooting thing snuck up on us.

    Hey you gun nuts! Hope the next mass shooting happens where you are. Please stop the attacker! Just do it don't be a puss! This time it was close it was in Houston. Next time I hope it happens right where you are, so you can be hero and save lives.

    We can just put chains on all the other doors and nail the windows shut. Problem solved! :)

    We can disable the fire alarms and sprinkler systems for good measure.

    Good G-d that man is a f***ing moron. Not that he hadn't confirmed it over and over and over and over and over again.
