But I thought school shootings happened because God wasn't in schools anymore /s
I keep joking to myself in my head it’s because we’re atheists (this was actually my daughter’s school, she is fine). It’s been a rough day
Physically fine, maybe. And I'm glad for her, but definitely keep an eye out for signs of PTSD. She didn't even have to see or hear anything herself.
Very true, that’s what everyone’s been saying and we’ll be on the look out for it. It really seems like she doesn’t get what happened, which I’m thankful for but is making the situation kind of dissonant for me. From what she’s told us she had a great day where they got to ride a city bus and play with dogs, and her temperament all last night was normal so far. I can believe it too because of the location of her classroom in relation to the library, she and her classmates and the other young classes might have not heard anything, with the only unusual part of their day being the lockdown and then being whisked away.
Went into the library several weeks ago for the kids to sing for their parents, and now this, yikes
No! NO GUN CONTROL! All we can do is hope and pray! Do you hear me! HOPES AND PRAYERS!!! we don't want to end up like russia now, do we!? PLEASE PEOPLE I'M BEGGING YOU, PRAY LIKE YOU'VE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE AND HOPE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HOPED BEFORE. NO LAW OR REGULATION CAN HELP US NOW, JUST HOPES AND PRAYERS.
Edit: I messed up. We should have been thinking and praying and not hoping and praying. This is all my fault I'm sorry, everyone.
Which presumably were taught, and present in abundance, at this august institution
No longer so abundant apparently.
The first story I saw about this today already had "thoughts and prayers" from Ron Johnson.
