I mean we deserve the hell world we want. Politicians maybe feckless but it’s because a large minority of the public is either fine with the status quo or wants looser restrictions
Crazy that the truck crash was called to 911 so cops were aware something was going on at the school before anything happened.
I am not saying a truck crash should bring out the swat team, but perhaps when a truck crashes by a school it might raise some alarms sooner than normal. Not that it would matter. Just more time to control the perimeter.
This map undersells how awful the problem is. I first thought, I was in Boulder CO like two weeks before the mass shooting at a grocery store, but it was in 2021, not 2019. Mistake? Nah…
There were two mass shootings in Boulder in three years, but the second one doesn’t make the map because “only” ten people dead.Other ones with 10 dead make the map but not this one, unclear why.
And then the Charleston, SC chruch shooting, where a young white supremacist went into a black church and started killing people. Surely missed from the map.
Oh, only nine dead. Below the threshold for the map.
It’s really quite sobering how many of these there are, and how we tend to think about them for about a week then forget.
I’m not sure about that, my guess is that police departments always obstruct and deny and refuse to cooperate but when it’s not a bunch of murdered children there is less of a magnifying glass on it.
