It's early Sunday morning. When I first read "he flipped off the shooter," I thought that was some other way of saying he turned off the safety or something.

I mean, y’all. it was a country show and they were serving alcohol, there’s no way that didn’t happen when the rounds started popping off

Yeah the forensic pyschiatrist in the case was one of the victims apparently:https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/06/02/us/arizona-psychiatrist-murders-paralegals.html

Yeah, the kid I tutor was telling me about the lockdown drills he's had to go through and it's...just goddamn heartbreaking. His attitude was somewhere between anxious and totally blasé. Like, this is just how it is, this is all they know.

i wonder if the duck-and-cover nuclear drills were more or less damaging. They had songs for that too.

no, of course subjecting an entire generation of kids to constant anxiety about the prospect of being violently murdered alongside their classmates, perhaps at the hands of one more of their classmates, won't have a devastating effect on their long-term mental health, why do u ask

My niece (11) has been homeschooled for several years, and as of 3 years ago was being shielded from news of any shootings (I was not allowed to watch the news when visiting). I wonder if they've kept up with that.

I hate every time I see this thread bumped without having read the news
(it's not anyone's fault, just the frequency of there being new shootings and the plausibility that one could happen at any time)
