I can't imagine what it must be like to be a kid these days.
Like I've heard stories of classroom prep during the Cold War, which included getting under desks and whatever in case of an air raid / bombing. And that's a certain type of intimidation, but it also is sort of a nationalist indoctrination into believing in your country, etc. in that the government is imagined to be doing all it can to prevent harm / attack.
These days, kids are getting trained to duck under a desk in case their fellow students walk around with an AR-15. There are like eight different ways the government COULD work to prevent a situation where a child is huddled under a desk or running out of a school covered in blood.
It's one of those situations where I think, even as objective Americans, we're so far down the rabbit hole we can't even see the true level of tragic absurdity this entire situation holds.

School Shooting in Kentucky Was Nation’s 11th of Year. It Was Jan. 23.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/…
ATLANTA — On Tuesday, it was a high school in small-town Kentucky. On Monday, a school cafeteria outside Dallas and a charter school parking lot in New Orleans. And before that, a school bus in Iowa, a college campus in Southern California, a high school in Seattle.
Gunfire ringing out in American schools used to be rare, and shocking. Now it seems to happen all the time.
The scene in Benton, Ky., on Tuesday was the worst so far in 2018: Two 15-year-old students were killed and 18 more people were injured. But it was one of at least 11 shootings on school property recorded since Jan. 1, and roughly the 50th of the academic year.

Hopefully soon everyone can realise that guns are not the problem in America, psychiatric drugs are. How many shooters have been on meds? Go and have a look for yourself.
Drugs that are allowed, encouraged and profited on by the same people that will lock someone up for cannabis. Guns ain't the issue folks...
- why make it one or the other? Guns are clearly part of the issue, even if opioids / societal issues are the driving cause.Fax_Benson
- Well you're right, they're both an issue, but drugs is a thousand times more important...********
- But no one needs a fucking gun. Certainly not a machine gun or assault rifle.********
- Drugs is = the drugs issue is*********
- The point being the drug issue is far more important yet not being talked about. All focus is on the gun problem, which is merely a symptom of a greater cause.********
- As ever I'm probably not the most eloquent or diplomatic in my delivery. I don't want to argue, let's talk...********
- i agree that drugs are the problem.
i also agree that guns are the problem.
furthermore, i agree that set is a problem.kona - :)kona
- That's pretty much what I just did, right..********
- you're right but saying access to guns isn't issue starts the thing off on the wrong foot and you get an 80-note shitfest, and no discussion of drugs issueFax_Benson
- Yupfadein11
- set, you mix drugs, mental illness or whatever the fuck else with a semi automatic weapon and you're fucked. So guns ARE a massive part of the problem.BusterBoy
- ^ indeedRamanisky2
- amenfadein11
- Sure, but if it weren't for drugged up mentally unstable people most of these shootings would never have happened.********
- It's wrong of me to say guns aren't the issue, but if there were no guns in America horrific things would still happen through a different method********
- The main issue that's not being talked about or focused on anywhere near enough is that these people are on medication that takes away the...********
- ... the emotions and feelings that usually stop humans from doing these things.********
- I live in the UK, of course I agree that no one should have guns, but it's a distraction from bigger issues********
- I’m curious. Are there like no meds in Australia, Japan and the UK? If meds are the issue you’d think this would happen in more places more oftenmonospaced
- Honestly I’d rather people have to resort to other methods of killing than having access to killing machines, bombs and billet proof gear.monospaced
- I do understand it’s not guns alone. But can’t we just start somewhere at least to TRY to get guns out of their hands???monospaced
- The fact that I could buy an arsenal at a whim is so fucking stupid. Even worse and easier than my access to meds.monospaced
- I agree, guns should be banned. Regardless, an example, read this and tell me which is the more important issue?********
- http://www.bbc.co.uk…********
- Ban guns but talk about why the guns were used in the way they were.********
- As much as i want to disagree with set... nearly every mass shooter in recent decades used anti-depressant drugs prior to or during their acts of violencewagshaft
- It's clearly an issue based on many factors not one yet doesn't seem to be getting any better post Obamafadein11
- And still unique to your countryfadein11
- upvoted to make you feel better about your ludicrous original statement anyway.fadein11
- It's very clear to all what the main issue that needs addressing is. The only thing ridiculous here is the need to disagree with me, just because it's me.********
- Your way is to nanny a population and take away dangerous things, which you can never do completely. The better angle is to improve and care for our people...********
- ...and that includes not getting kids drugged up on psychiatric medication. Which is ultimately what makes them do these things.********
- Ultimately no one needs a fucking gun. Ideally they would not exist. Obviously. But people are missing the point to who's using these guns and why...********
- "guns are not the problem" bizarre black and white thinking big brain. I do understand why you had to showboat mid tragedy again though, we all get you nowfadein11
- I really don't believe it's the medication that causes people to kill. The correlation might be because medicated people are already on edge, but the causationmonospaced
- is simply not there in my opinion.monospaced
- Yep. Its clearly a situation based on many factors. Legal military grade assault rifles being an easy delivery mechanism of a poisoned society. Knives dont killfadein11
- 17 innocent beautiful lives. Like i said get your fucking shit together America :(fadein11
- but let's not hurt Set's likkle feelingsfadein11
- Mono, these drugs take away feelings of empathy and compassion. Consequence and rational thought process.********
- Almost every single mass shooter has been on them. Come on, man.... Come on.********
- Did you read properly the link I provided? That kid descended in to the emotionless killer be became because of the drugs he's on. It's clearly documented.********
- No drugs, no killing spree.********
- The larger issue is pharmaceutical companies profiting on getting kids(everyone) hooked on these drugs********
- and then placing focus on gun problems, the symptom, rather than the cause. Disagree with me all you like, it's futile.********
- I'm making a new one sans your real name********
- But there is a reason they are on drugs. I agree with you set, but there is issues to what lead people to the drugs in the first place.mugwart
- That's true dude********
- I hear you loud and clear. But correlation isn't causation. Meds aren't the case in EVERY situation either, despite your insistence they are.monospaced
- one could argue that being male is the causation, considering all of these are committed by men, but nobody's doing that specifically :)monospaced

Smh it seems so unsafe to send kids to public schools in the US. Are the partents here worried? editorially ones that aren't school age yet.
Will you make changes to your school plan? Are you going to train your kids at home about how to handle an active shooter situations, other weapons, and about harder drugs earlier on? I'm curious -- I do not have children but I often think about what I might do if I did. I think also about how I might handle the topic of police, because my future children would be unmistakably black which adds another layer of danger when out in the streets.#itscomplicated

- Worried everyday.R_Kercz
- I think most High Schools do practice active shooter drills these days.fooler
- ^ seems like kids need to be taught day 1 of school, sometimes before. Scared, lost children that don't know what to do are in tons of danger seems like.shellie
- I never paid much attention to drills I always felt like it was for the teachers. My emergency training came from mom and firefighter family members.shellie
- Horrified as the problem will not end. The gun lobby will never cave. I'm looking into moving to Japan to raise my boys.stoplying

Just heard them say on the news "this is the worst school shooting in Parkland County history"...as though school shootings are just a normal thing. Sickening.
Then you see fuckwits on SM saying more guns are the answer...teachers and administrators should have guns.
Fuck me!
I'm done arguing on this shit. America is so far gone, there's no turning back. If the murder of 20 young kids at Sandy Hook wasn't enough, there's zero hope of an improvement.

45 days in to the year, 29 mass shootings, 8 of which took place at schools. Good job, America, 2018.
- Unfortunately, I think that number is much higher than 8.Ramanisky2

- It is being reported that 4 of them were schoolsdbloc
- lol, every news outlet is reporting a different #dbloc
- yeah I heard as high as 18 school shootings so far.Ramanisky2
- As a fellow QBN’er pointed out: the fact that this site has a “shooting of the Day” thread is the fact that this shit is that common, and more importantly...lvl_13
