"Three students were critically wounded on Wednesday in a shooting at Evergreen High School in the Colorado foothills. So far, it's not clear who the shooter or shooters are, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office."



There's usually more of a gap between school shootings. I hope this isn't a trend.
 
And to be totally fair, there are shootings pretty much every hour in our country.

Two high profile ones today though.

I'm very curious to see how people react.

I'm going with thoughts and prayers, with an addition of a pinch authoritarianism added in the treatment of the Kirk shooter.

I m sorry to hear this. I know that area very well. It’s a small town and an interesting mix of upper middle class and hard scrabble mountain people. Columbine is not far from there. ☹️

You're not alone. It's a very nice town, but nutters are scattered all over. Was the shooter a student?
 
Oh I wonder if the residents are gonna come in here and so their usual sthick.. I mean its kids so they most likely dont care
 
Indifference.

The more it happens, the more we get used to it. Even now no one really cares. Pretty soon, this will become so commonplace as to just be something annoying we have to tolerate, like rush-hour traffic, flat tires, or potholes.

The gun manufacturing lobby has won. They will laugh all the way to the bank. They just have to make sure they don’t slip and fall on all the blood and gore all over the streets on the way there.🤷‍♂️

8 posts for this thread (including this one) versus 2k for the other high profile thread now. Is your curiousity satiated?
 
Wow, not one MAGA could come in here to express their disgust?

The first ever was 1966.

Charles Whitman opened fire from a tower on a Austin, Texas university tower killing 17 people.

He was a "gung ho" marine corps corporal and a trained sniper. Then it was a world wide shock. No one anywhere could even begin to understand what we now take as a routine action by angry individuals.

In this case he was a trained killer.
