Why are you being so obtuse? Why do you assume that we do not mourn the loss of all children?

Because you don't post about it?
I really do get it now. It's because it's familiar. It makes you realize that the school your own children go to could be the next spot. Maybe after enough schools get shot up, you'll start thinking that a society full of guns isn't such a good idea.
But you'll still demand cheap food, gasoline, and manufactured goods, and turn a blind eye to what policies it takes to make those things happen.
I don't have children of my own. My primary interaction with children is tutoring inner city middle school kids in English and math. They're mostly black and Latino. Some of them are Muslim. All of them are poor. These are the lucky ones.
They're all children to me and there is nothing special about some suburban white kids who suddenly got exposed to the violence that permeates our country and our culture. Next week, all of you will return to your suburban lives and illusion of safety until the next time reality invades. Some of the kids I see are in actual danger of catching a bullet; it is likely that some of them will die to gun violence. It is even more likely that they will see the same discrimination and economic disadvantage as their parents.
None of this counts, though, you fucking racists.
