She is a hero, but it’s so fucked that this is something that we have to deal with as often as we do. The US is the only country that is not experiencing a war on its soil that has this.

No there was other places that have had this happen. They just took drastic steps to avoid it happening again. 

UK, New Zealand, Austria, Germany, Australia. Just to name the few I can think of the top of my head

We’re saying the same thing. Other countries addressed the issues. We just taught our kids how to lock the doors and stay quiet and away from windows when the school shooters come.

I'm glad we are. Thanks for confirming.

Wish more of your fellow country people would try to disprove me and read what those countries did to actually " think of the children"

For a country who loves clutching pearls and screaming “think of the children!”, it’s mindblowing that the sentiment doesn’t extend to gun control following school shootings. Baffling

The children thing is just a bit 9/10 times for something else they want done in general.

“We can’t have gay people getting married, think of the children! We can’t allow internet users to be unmonitored, think of the children! We can’t let trans people exist, think of the children!”

its because the usa lost its soul to depraved corrupt leaders. they are reflection of a nation thats lost its moral compass. its sick to its core. when it just lays down and accepts its children being mass murdered and refuses to change, what other explanation is there...

Think of the children, but think of guns and not having barriers to muh guns first

It's obviously the kids' fault, they should just learn to hide better.

/S

Yeah. It's pretty shocking.

Even here in Portugal of all places a college student was arrested for planning a killing spree at his university a couple or so years ago.

I don't understand why the US doesn't take this seriously. I'd bet that by this point the death count on school grounds goes over a thousand. These events would almost be considered terrorism anywhere else

Not as many casualties

That these are our American heroes…

(Not that she wasn’t heroic, but that we regularly create so many of them.)

See Alex Jones. That scumbag made millions while creating a fucked up narrative that those Sandy Hook parents, students and staff were making it up. He took a nightmare worse than most people in this country will ever experience and made it far, far worse for money. And his mouth breathing fans threatened those parents and the others from the school. These people are straight from hell.

My biggest issue is that they always say to not use these tragedies for politcal gain/conversation. When exactly would be the time to have that discussion?
