ban murder because it's wrong

or ban kids from going to school so they don't get shot up

Terrible tragedy my american friends, RIP to those kids.

I Hope you guys find a solution some day, but to us EUs the guns problematic seems quite doomed to go on forever...

Bad things happen every day. Good things also happen every day. I find it bizarre when everyone decides to have an empathy day when the media tells them it's time. Yesterday was not special.

I'm pretty sure the murder of 20 innocent 6 year olds is a good enough reason to mourn, whether it was covered by the media or not.

I'm going to go ahead and guess you're not a parent. Fcking douchebag

Why do we not have this eruption of collective empathy when children are killed by our war machine in Afghanistan? Why do we not mourn children who die in Palestine? Why are starting children in Sub-Saharan Africa not worthy of our attention?

How does it make me a Fcking douchebag [sic] to ask these questions? What makes those children special? Is it because they're American children?

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.

I am sadden by this tragedy. Why the fuck children? I could understand being bullied, and going all "I AM A FUCKIN JACKASS LET'S TAKE OUT MY CLASSMATES CAUSE I AM AN ANGSTY TEENAGER!" Children? Seriously? What. The. Fuck.

So...
I know that guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Though I am curious. Could a man go on a rampage killing 20+ people with a banana?
