School shootings really got going in the late 90s. The seniors then are now approaching 50. There are already grandparents who are school shooting survivors.

Top 5 reasons the U.S. doesn’t deserve to exist

NRA nuts only response to shootings are "need good guys with guns" to handle this. Funny, they don't say tornado destruction needs good tornados for protection. It only seems to apply to life-taking guns.

Now, it's time to help women in California who have been punished for being raped, sexually harrased, and sexually abused by powerful, rich, old white men. Our US Justice system, as it stands, assumes surviving women are liars, it's ok to retraumatize victims in court, & witness intimidation is ok!

This thought breaks me. Cause I've seen how bad it's been for us Gen Z and now people even younger than me are dealing with this. We simply can't have a safe society with easy to access guns. This is unreal.

Repeal the 2nd!

I know I say this a lot, but I really want to emphasize that I am not being hyperbolic at all, and it's things like this that are the reason... Shithole country.

"John’s weapon had been legally purchased by his mother around the time of his August birthday". Jail time...

America is not well.

Hopefully something changes before the third generation of the family enters school.

Congrats USA!!!

I was an anxious child in the 60/70s when I lived in fear of getting a spit ball in my hair. I don’t know how I would survive as a kid in school now. I cannot imagine the world these kids experience.

Republicans only see children as expendable rape toys, and Democrats take their marching orders from the same billionaires as Republicans. Neither party does anything because neither party wants to. America has been choosing to let children die for 30 years.

What a total disgrace.

Imagine being the kind of person who arms a child and then says, “If I could have prevented this, I would have,” when he goes out and shoots a bunch of people.

Same for me. Probably once a month I get a bad feeling dropping them off.

This country's Republican leaders have failed two generations. Don't both sides this.

Is it schools in particular that are targeted or any place with lots of people? And if schools in particular, why?

As a horrified Brit, for all the usual reasons I also have another question. Why schools? Why has shooting up schools specifically become a trend over there? I know other mass shootings happen, but what has caused people to regularly target children and teachers?

I disagree with this take. Schools all over the world have cell phone restrictions, but students don't have to call their parents for help, because there are no school shootings! The guns are the problem, and more children will die as long as we allow the Supreme Court to exist in its current form.

I feel so awful. Disgusting.

Considering the first school shooting in the US was in the 1800s, I imagine there are more than just two generations

Jesus

How sad

He isn’t in America anymore, they deported Him

i don't even

We've had that.

😢

2d-gen 2A collateral.

This is NOT ok

😡🤨🕊️

American exceptionalism (derogatory)

Another sad record for the USA

My kids survived 2 bomb threat evacuations, 4 shooting threat lockdowns, and 1 active shooter, after 5 years of active shooter drills. After graduation day, I found myself overjoyed they survived school like it was a 12 year tour of duty in Afghanistan... We're not going to make it like this.💀

No wonder Europe thinks we're crazy. Even Russians don't murder their kids at school like we do.

A mother who survived a school shooting 23 years ago found herself living through that nightmare again when her sons were at the school targeted in yesterday's attack. The fact that she was able to reach them during the crisis says something about how differently these situations unfold now.

How proud you must be

Here's the thing.. it'll probably have third-generation. The women's grandchildren will get a piece of the family trauma. Nothing is changing. Just another day in America.

Fucking AWFUL. It's clear the U.S. government couldn't give two shits about kids.

Legacy sequels are huge right now.

It's quite telling that I have no memory of the 2001 shooting mentioned in the article. I was just about turn 22 and in college, so it's possible I saw a headline that day and nothing more.

Seriously need to figure a way out of this shithole before I need to have a kid in school

Quicker to ban drag shows and books before even attempting to regulate firearms even a smidge lmfao what else is there to do but laugh at the fire
