My school shooting happened on a Thursday and they were planning on starting class again Monday. There were bullet holes in my building and doors kicked in that weren't replaced yet.

There was a shooting at a high school near mine, right at the beginning of the day, and they didn’t even send those kids home afterwards. Obviously normal instruction couldn’t occur and they used it more as an immediate group counseling session, but it’s crazy that it wasn’t even deemed immediately day-ending

Hearing "my school shooting" twice in this very small group of people disgusts me

Random side note, we went into a legit code red lockdown my senior year bc of a guy who brought a gun in. The FBI showed up but the kicker was.. the classroom I was in, the teacher didn’t lock the door and I had to finish my quiz.. WHILE A GUNMAN WAS IN OUR SCHOOL. Someone reported him and we all had to give statements about it. I think he got fired but I’ll never forget that

Bin Laden was shot for speaking his beliefs, did anybody mourn him? Nah, we cheered.

This one kid on my political science class (certified fucking yapper btw) went on and on about how you shouldn’t shun people for feeling sympathy and it’s okay to be sad for Kirk as well as mass shootings and Palestine. I almost walked out of the room bc what. Y’all didn’t give a shit until Kirk was shot. That’s what we’re pissed about

there was a swatting my sophomore year (so no actual danger but like still traumatizing) and we had school the next day and no one would answer any of our questions. I’ve never felt so close to death as I did that day. I’m not celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death but tbh I just don’t care about him.

Luckily for me, the gunman was caught and arrested before making it in to any part of the building. But I’ll never forget being 11, having a crying kindergartner cling to my neck, while holding a science textbook ready to fight. And because there was no active shooter we brushed past it like nothing ever happened, but I’ll never forget absolute terror we all felt.

And it’s even more depressing that it didn’t really make the news because “only” one kid got killed, and school shootings are so normalized that you don’t make national news with less than 10 deaths.

To play devil's advocate here (I by no means support 2a) it's often easier to keep kids in classrooms and accounted for than just release them because there's a lot of fear and confusion.

I mean obviously there should be a headcount and nobody should’ve been released until everyone was accounted for, but I think they should’ve been released once that assessment had been made, not made to stay in the same building where their classmate had been killed earlier that day all the way until the usual 2:15 dismissal time.

i can imagine a ton of reasons why you wouldn't send kids home early. mainly safety, logistics and avoiding mass confusion and stress

I’d rather be home with my family after a shooting than forced to stay in the building where someone died, with people I don’t know or trust just because it’s more “convenient”. “To play devils advocate here” any time someone says that they’re a cunt

I care deeply about gun violence as I’m a TEACHER who has been through 2 school shootings (7th grade and 11th grade.) I just don’t care more about a social media influencer than I do about children.

Thank you for proving my point so easily

Because I don’t care more that an influencer died than I do about the fact that I have to run active shooter drills with my kindergarteners? Mmhm.

“Active shooter drills with kindergartners” should never need to be a thing. God this place is awful.

My girlfriend had two. One as a kid, and once as a substitute teacher. At my university there was a guy found in his room with an assault rifle in his dorm and “violent plans”, in a notebook, whatever that means. Thankfully that guy got reported by his roommate

The man fucking killed thousands of people. Apples to oranges. The fact that you’re even using that comparison is fucking astounding

Bin Laden’s rhetoric inspired terrorist attacks, yes. Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric inspired mass shootings, which are acts of domestic terrorism. His name is mentioned in the shooters’ manifestos. He never condemned their actions and in fact supported it.
