FWIW, I was NOT mocking the victims in this case. However, I was mocking conservatives for making up "post birth abortion" which doesn't exist or their solutions to gun violence, also non-existent.
Have a nice day.

(77,324 posts)This comes after reports of gunfire sent the school into a hard lockdown. At least six ambulances could be seen by local news helicopters. At least one medical helicopter could be seen airlifting a patient from the scene. Students appear to have been evacuated to the school's football stadium.
CNN is reporting a local hospital is receiving patients with gunshot wounds related to the incident.
