Another one today :/
Any time there's a school shooting, I legitimately tear up. I don't have children of my own, but the idea of a shooter on campus stresses me out so deeply for those kids. The other day, there was a high-speed chase with a Uhaul in LA that popped up on the news. I usually like watching those. Nobody usually gets hurt. But a Uhal? Very suspicious. And, when the guy car bailed in a cul-de-sac and ended up on a middle school campus not long after school let out, it was white knuckle stressful watching kids run away with backpacks on. Turns out, the driver was just some DUI, unarmed crackhead.

- I loath thinking of hearing about my kid's first 'active shooter' drill in school. Such a sad state of affairs.mandomafioso
- @i_monk *shutters* It seems like teaching is more like going to work as a cop or firefighter. There's a chance something terrible can happen on the job.shellie

- it's natural for biological organisms to kill one another. funny how humans protect animals so they can continue to do so but become monsters when a human killsimbecile
- violent crimes are not as concerning to me as state assisted executions. alas, the blindness created by "justice" allows the contradiction to perpetuate.imbecile
- Humans choose, animals do not. And I think you'll find humans hate the idea of certain animal-on-animal killing too, like when lions or chimps slaughter thei_monk
- young of rivals. (State execution is barbaric.)i_monk
