Madison officials revealed a teen student and teacher were killed in a shooting Monday morning at Madison Abundant Life Christian School. The suspected shooter, who was a teen student at the school, is dead. Police said six other people are injured, two critically, four in stable condition.
I mean, that’s just not true, as history shows. Things like this have been happening for well more than 20 years and we did then, as we continue to do now, precisely jack-shit about it.
i’m wondering if the republicans who wore “solidarity ear bandages” when trump was attacked will be wearing solidarity body bags for these dead children
Someone shoots a school, the press talks about it for a day. Someone shoots a rando, the press doesn’t even mention it. Someone shoots a CEO, the press talks about it for weeks.
Something like this would have paused and galvanized the entire U.S. 20 years ago.
I wonder if this will even be mentioned in tomorrows news.
People already making jokes, we’ve truly lost all hope.

20 years ago was 2004. Columbine was five years before that. And school shootings have been happening even longer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States
20 years ago congress let the Federal Assault Weapons Ban sunset (end without renewal).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Assault_Weapons_Ban that was AFTER Columbine.
BUT! That legislation was brought about thanks to an earlier school shooting, in 1989.

Spoiler alert: no
Of course not. Children don’t vote. Their PAC is a frickin joke!
