Btw there’s a school shooting in Denver right now, but apparently this is more important.

I feel like part of it is just human nature, as we connect to things that we can see more than numbers, but it still makes me upset to no end that people who feel school shootings are a ‘necessary evil’ or otherwise don’t care are suddenly livid over this incident
