Yeah, I am going to go read because it seems just about all the young friends of mine know someone in that school and everyone is a mess.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Laura, my heart goes out to you and the kids and families in your community.
Seventeen people. What the fuck is wrong with us that we can't prevent something like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, Laura. Ugh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The only thing I feel like I can do is yell at my senators on Twitter, and I know that does nothing, but everything else does nothing too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
One of my son's friends knew the shooter. Said he wasn't surprised.
Oh, God, Laura. What an utter nightmare. I just finished reading an interview with another kid who also knew him and also wasn't surprised, and had spent the last couple of years strenuously avoiding him because the prospect of any kind of open conflict with this guy terrified him.
And I know nothing, nothing, nothing will change.

The thing is that Congresss cou;.dnt do anything slbout this ting that 's sole puropise ti to circumvenat the law. If noth;ing can be sone baout that then wlaht could jpbe cone abouit anyhltnhig?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Fuck the guns in this culture. And fuck this culture we have that thinks it's a totally normal and acceptable response, if you happen to be a dude, to kill a fuckton of people just because you got butthurt about something.
I want the guns gone, and I don't give a fuck about sport shooting or hunting or any of the excuses that the NRA makes. Those are the acceptable cover for their power tripping. (And they're a lobbyist for the sellers, not the gun users, anyway. They care about selling more guns, not anyone's so-called rights.)
But even more, I want the culture to say NO FUCK YOU THAT IS NOT AN OKAY WAY TO BE PISSED OFF. USE YOUR FUCKING WORDS. OTHER CULTURES HAVE SAID "OH SHIT NO WE CAN'T KEEP GOING DOWN THIS PATH". We keep... not.
(Yes, we're in "shit I don't say on FB" territory.)

Amen, sister.

The gun fetish this country has makes me sick. I'm also in the camp that would be perfectly happy seeing them all gone.
