on the fringes. I know it's not popular to feel bad for perps, but it takes a lot of pain to decide that shooting up a school is the best option. There are so many opportunities to get people off the road to that decision, and we shut down the exit ramps in the interest of budgets, convenience, social standing, outdated science.

Enough to make the national news for 1 day. Not enough for the networks to all send their major reporters down to Florida. Stuff like this happens on a weekly basis these days, so it's hardly even news.

Why even bother covering stories like this anymore?

I hope they spread the video everywhere and I hope it shows up in ads for the elections in November

They'll show the ones with screams and panic......MAYBE.

But it will 100% not matter. There were plenty of videos in Las Vegas, as people were running away. Didn't matter then, and with "only" a few dead, it won't matter here.

This story will be off the news by Friday.
