They can’t risk their right to have an automatic rifle taken away. I believe they call them collateral damage.
Poor babies. I hope them a speedy recovery. I pulled my kids out of in person school years ago. It’s just sickening.
We live in a world that conflates wealth with worth, and this is proof
Dude. Nothing makes sense anymore.. the article says the suspected motive is because it's a seventh day Adventist affiliated school.... SO HE TARGETED THE 5&6YR OLDS?!?!
i have religious trauma too like so many else.... My god WTF is wrong with this fucking dude!!!!
I feel terrible for those kids. Drove by that school in October - the land was bracketed by ranches displaying 🍊💩 campaign signs.
OTOH, 65% of the voters in that county voted for the 🍊💩. Folks get what they vote for - including shootings by a felon with a ghost gun who needed social services.
I would consider a hostage to be physically bound, but I get your point. Ultimately, we're all acting based on priorities (or perceived priorities). The suffering isn't great enough, so neither is the desperation.
No, hostage could be somebody who CAN NOT leave, because of the consequences that are going to be negative. "Losing my family" could be that too. Sadly, if it gets severe enough, it will be too late. It's a hard situation. I know what my decision would be but there is no singular solution.
She was saying "it is getting a lot less attention than it should". And now you are saying that it is even WORSE, you shared a link to Reuters, a British company. Illustrating that the attention in the US is somehow smaller than the attention to it outside of the US.
I'm pissed too, but I think it's been clear for a very very long time that the media and those with power value the wealthy over children that die from gun violence.

Sorry to interrupt, you were saying?

We've moved on from age of victims to the total death count for what makes it newsworthy, and that number is pretty high now.
2 children in critical condition is page 8.
This is who we are.
