Don’t worry, we’ll continue to hate trans people and anyone not white.

Fred Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter, Jaime, was killed in the Parkland high school shooting in South Florida in 2018, said some of Jaime’s classmates now attend FSU. “Incredibly, some of them were just a part of their 2nd school shooting and some were in the student union today”

One of these days, the headline will be “Active Shooter Reported at Board Meeting.”
There’s more security getting into most skyscrapers and corporate HQs than there are schools.
What does that tell you about who the powers that be care about keeping safe? We get security theater, they get actual security. Our babies die en masse, they wear their babies as hats
Meh, one can dream, but it’s mostly the little kids that need to cower in fear. Board rooms can afford armed guards
never. active shooters are terrorists, but they’re not reported on as terrorists when they attack us. but one man shoots one billionaire, and he’s a terrorist immediately. how the media reports events reveals things about who controls the media and what it exists for
…Oh say can you see, pew pa pew pew pew pew pew… 🔥🇺🇸🔥

one day after the 18 year anniversary of the Virginia Tech Massacre
At this point, most school shootings occur on the anniversary of some other school shooting …
A horrifying fact:
In 2023, there were 349 shootings. In 2024, there were 332 [1]. By the pigeonhole principle [2], it’s a guarantee that a shooting takes place on the anniversary of at least one other shooting.
It’s bad enough but we don’t need to spread false narratives.
I cited where I found those statistics. Their methodology included events such as brandishing firearms, bullets hitting schools, and premeditated school shootings. It’s not mass school shootings with fatalities occurring nearly every day of the year, but my point still stands: there have been enough of them in general that the pigeonhole principle applies.
Except you stated 349 school shootings. When that’s wildly incorrect. Gang members shooting at each other near a school is not a school shooting. Brandishing a firearm near a school is not a school shooting. Bullets hitting a school building from gang violence is not a school shooting.
Even NPR did a section on how inaccurate these statistics are.

Out of all the people to inflict heartless violence on, they choose kids.
They’re reporting the shooter was a student and is the son of local policewoman. He had used one of her guns for the shooting.
Of course they do. They won’t pick people who might fight back, they might get hurt.
If they wanted to pick people who wouldn’t fight back, there are a lot of democrats in Congress
the most effective way to inflict terror is to go after the babies. from bombing daycares, to mass shootings where children and teenagers congregate, this has always been the methodology.
the young and poor always pay a heavier price
I hate that this is just another Tuesday in the news cycle now. My partner works at a University, and stuff like this terrifies me.
I’m not gonna lie: I’m genuinely desensitized to it at this point. My reaction is mostly along the lines of “huh, glad it’s not near me”. I know that’s not good.
Yeah, my thought was, “wow, with all of the other chaos, it’s been a while since a shooting broke through in the news cycle”
