3. Soon, the entire population of the U.S. will be permanently on edge all of the time.

This is also how we're raising our children. It's so pathetic we'd rather live this way rather than give up or regulate guns.

15. We're already on edge all of time.

4. There's a reason that people ran; a damned good one, and it sholdn't be, wouldn't be

in a sane society. But this is what we have become, what we are, a damaged, sick and -- not due to our own fault -- insane society.

8. Crazy people don't know they're crazy

so people don't have a way to know if he's dangerous or not.

9. Don't mess around with a guy that looks like he could break you in half!

[Archae]

10. What was that guy yelling at the start of this video?

Sounded to me like "I am God!"

Not sure.

[Glorfindel]

12. I thought he said, "I'm the god of music! I'm not shooting the school!"

Though I could be mistaken.

11. A nation with cPTSD. (nt)

13. My daughter and I were going to Washington....

this weekend. I had a junior suite booked at the Churchill, bought the airline tickets.....then we had a discussion Tuesday evening. She was concerned about violence and some gun- humping Trumpanista showing up. I didn't argue. There's always that possibility, and since I wouldn't want her to worry about ever seeing her two children and husband again, and myself not wanting to lose my daughter and never see my grandchildren again, we canceled.

I had to eat the airline tickets, but that's a small price to pay. I wouldn't mind mixing it up with some Trumphumpers. At my age I have little to lose. What are they going to do, keep an old man from feeling his daily aches and pains for a few more years? Be my guest, if it makes you feel like a real man.

I watched some of it on TV and the web. I did want to get one more protest in before I shuffle off this mortal coil, just to relive my youth, but there will be other protests, unfortunately. The gunhumpers aren't through yet.

14. Odds are low that violence will occur at any one location.

That's one of the problems with Gun Violence.

[SergeStorms]

17. We weren't willing to take that chance.

My only daughter, her children, my grandchildren, naaaaah. These gunhumpers are too unpredictable and uncontrolled. With the number of targets available it would be like shooting liberals in a barrel for some nut with a bump-stock. One gun-nut could set a massacre record, and don't think there wasn't one thinking about that very fact.

16. Watching them run brought tears. Children running, parents clutching children, a woman helping

an elderly woman up who'd stumbled to the ground, a young man with a bike who'd buried his head in his arm.

This is where we are today and it's heartbreaking.
