    Multiple elementary schools have been the targets of mass shootings and nothing was done. My mom and I were talking about this recent one and we had a moment where we were like “Only 3ish people died with less than a dozen wounded, so that’s good.”

    In any functional society, even one person killed in an attack on a school would cause immediate reform. There would be changes made to prevent such an attack from occurring ever again. In the US? It’s so normalized, people survive multiple shootings. Schools even experience multiple mass shootings (FSU had one previously in 2014).

      Goddamn dude, that’s so sad. It’s just so damn bleak

      I think about that all the time. If we actually have values or morals we would have done something to make sure it never happens again.
