Maybe I'm old

Sounds like you're not forced to spend 5 days a week at a location targeted by mass shooters.

The media has been pushing division for decades now to keep the money hungry corporations happy. Local news has all been bought up.

Firearm manufacturers have been making record profits selling guns to people who shouldn't have them, then using lobby groups to donate $16 million a year to Republicans -- a figure that conspicuously doubled in 2012 after Sandy Hook.

But of course they're not "money hungry corporations" putting profits before lives, it's all the medias fault for greedily reporting on things that happened.

I'm sad about that students hardship, and am happy they were able to tell their father they loved them.

You're not very good at pretending to have emotions and compassion.

Hearing your peers being indiscriminately executed and surviving through nothing but dumb luck is not a "hardship", it's trauma on par with living in a war zone.

There is nothing at all "happy" about a child fearing for their lives and calling their father to say their last words. It's genuinely surreal to see you describe it like that. Who are you happy for?

I just recognize that it is pushing a fear based narrative to become fish in a barrel and embrace death during a crisis

Word salad.
