At least 11 dead in Virginia Beach mass shooting
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

It was just this morning I was saying on Facebook: "I'd really like it if, when I have grandchildren some day, they have no idea what an 'active shooter drill' is."
So of course the world just had to remind me that the danger zone extends beyond schools. --Bob

That's where SteelersFanSis and her family live. We'll call her as soon as SteelersFan comes in. I'm sure no one from the family is involved, or we would have heard from one of the other siblings.

Re: At least 11 dead in Virginia Beach mass shooting
I'm getting very, very tired of mass shootings. (With 11 fatalities, this was the largest mass shooting in the United States since November. It's not even the largest mass shooting in the last 12 months.) And I'm getting even more tired of politicians who can't do anything to prevent them, or even slow them down. --BobBeebs52 wrote:What?Bob78164 wrote:It was just this morning I was saying on Facebook: "I'd really like it if, when I have grandchildren some day, they have no idea what an 'active shooter drill' is."

All is well with StelersFanSis and family. Except the whole town is miserable . . .
It's a lovely city. This is heartbreaking.

Re: At least 11 dead in Virginia Beach mass shooting
My original statement had schools in mind -- that's where my hypothetical grandkids will presumably learn about (and experience) active shooter drills. Today's murders didn't occur in a school. --BobBeebs52 wrote:I honestly don't understand your statement about extending beyond schools.

You had to be "reminded"? You go around routinely thinking the only dangerous places are schools? That's pretty sad. And dangerous.Bob78164 wrote:So of course the world just had to remind me that the danger zone extends beyond schools. --Bob

New Zealand was able to respond quickly and effectively. And this shit doesn't happen in most of the world with anywhere near the frequency it happens here. Maybe we should do what they do. And if our current politicians won't, we should replace them with politicians who will. --Bobflockofseagulls104 wrote:And pray tell what the hell are politicians gonna do about it? I mean really?

As opposed to the usual right wing response of claiming we can't do anything about it so we might as well not try.flockofseagulls104 wrote: And pray tell what the hell are politicians gonna do about it? I mean really? You think Nancy and Chuck have the answers?

Flock, you've already used your self-righteous rant on this subject for the day.
