I'm presenting an alternate approach. We have to do something, whatever it is will cost a freedom. Which it will be is up for debate. People have certainly suggested a law that makes it illegal to post shooter info, im just pointing out why that went work. While recognizing it would have worked not so long ago.

But that's not the only aspect of the first at play. Be a highschool kid who visits a gun range and posts about it if u don't believe that. There are real attempts to stifle expression at play now



You're close. I believe its the fact that sooo many people profit off these shootings either monetarily or in political capital and ultimately its our fault because we can't lap it all up quick enough.

Being a white male also leads to a 4 times greater than average suicide rate.

Being a white male is a mental disorder. Parents who allow their children to grow up as males are enabling the mentally disabled.

This shooting occurred not even 5 miles away from where I currently work. I have never seen so many police cars and first responder vehicles in my life. They all zoomed past me on my morning commute.

Absolutely devastating news for this community. We are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, and now the people of this region have to cope with another tragedy.

Despite hitting so close to home, I feel a disturbing sense of normalcy surrounding school shootings. I feel desensitized to it now. The news, the aftermath, the political discussion. I feel like I’ve lived it all a million times now, and I know a lot of others feel the same way.

I hope we can find solutions to saving people’s lives, and I have seen some good ideas, but my gut feeling on this is our country is experiencing some sort of vast and complicated cultural decline that's both contributing to the issue and preventing us from making steps to address it.


Omg! <3

weird how Canada and America are so different but yet so close. I feel lucky to be living up north. I mean it happened in the past but not on the same level.
