the sign itself is disturbing enough, the fact that it's supposed to be sung to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star makes me want to die

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.

(it's not anyone's fault, just the frequency of there being new shootings and the plausibility that one could happen at any time)

She's actually really great. I'm just worried about everyone who works there, and then the kids. It's an office building with multiple businesses (including our local newspaper). Super quiet place.

there's no correct way to behave and they're of course welcome to do whatever helps, but this whole thing about the survivors reporting on their massacred co-workers and 'we've got a paper to put to bed!' and other journalists saluting their dedication is kinda creepy
― mookieproof, Thursday, 28 June 2018 21:42 (five years ago) link
dunno why but i'm guess that this won't turn out to be ~purely~ motivated by a desire to kill journalists. my gut feeling is dude will turn out to have some personal beef coupled with these recent incitements. "hatred of journalists deep enough to kill them indiscriminately" still seems pretty fringe compared to, like, "hatred of black people/LGBTQ/women/Jews/Muslims/etc"
