1. American children are expendable.

Sacrificed to appease the GOP gun gods.

2. School shootings? *Yawn*

But a kid might read a book with the word "damn" in it? Man the barricades!

3. How do gun humpers live with themselves?

If all those "responsible gun owners" were actually responsible, they would be out in the streets themselves, demanding stricter gun laws.

How do they look at these statistics and think all those deaths are an acceptable price to keep their hobby unregulated?

6. This is speculation, but because "suspects fled the scene immediately"

it may have been "gang-related", which is a euphemism for minority youths shooting each other. i don't know what minority because i don't know the area.

all school shootings aren't equal in the eyes of the media and much of the public; rampage shootings by incel white boys get much more attention, and you need more than 2 victims to get to qualify as a "mass shooting".

sorry to be jaded about this ongoing tragedy. condolences to the families of the victims.

9. There was also a shooting at Bridgewater College here in VA today.

The story is still unfolding, but according to NEWS 4 Washington, two LEOs were shot. No word on the seriousness of their injuries or if anyone else was shot.
