Thanks folks for expanding the conversation. Availability of guns must be addressed. Most acts of school shootings are not singular cause. Very important to add to this conversation is prescribed use or recent cessation of Pharmaceutical antidepressants, especially SSRIs.
Mental health, evil, white supremacist ideology, domestic violence/family annihilation, femicide, doesn’t matter which or none. Guns are readily accessible to folk in all of these categories. That is the common denominator. Which is not in opposition to addressing the others.

I appreciate your honesty and yes it is perfectly reasonable to be crying this is tragedy of the most heinous unspeakable sort I don't know any other type of crime of such violence in one nation only? I strongly feel no emotional response to these crimes is pathological.

You are exactly on it that's why I got upset and overall otherwise I seem to be managing fine to live in that violence to look at that list of high schools and colleges only when other massacres like Las Vegas and Tucson exist as well is a terrible symptom of serious disease.

This entire month has been a nightmare list I posted was close to 6000 high schools and colleges not others. I was present at 2 mass shootings Giffords in Tucson my mom was taken off life support 5 minutes before I heard every shot every scream echo down Las Vegas Boulevard.

It's an interesting psychological phenomenon very common person gets upset and take their own upset and place it on the other party. I was just emotional and hurt and said that's normal not being upset is not normal. I definitely didn't need that I got mansplained LOL

As a follow-up to this I think the human struggle is just part of the package. we feed the bad stuff we don't encourage kindness and decency. My family had good ethics but a lot of abuse and cruelty. Not one of the kids has had kids for a reason we all agreed it ends with us.

That makes more sense because look at that list that was something close to 6000 high schools and colleges there are also shootings in lower-level schools as well as parks and clubs and in the streets and On the Border. It makes me so sad and yet we have to carry on keep hope.

I really wish I were a fairy godmother if so I would have a magic wand of peace and delights and I'd wave it across this Earth and everything would balance people would have food dignity safety not guns and hate of other and War. we are as a species need to get our shit together.

It's already too long that list is high schools and colleges it doesn't count other school levels Club shootings Park shootings it's bad news and the border is right near me and it is very violent. People talk about when will World War 3 start I don't think that Wars ever stop

I suppose it can feel weird but to me it seems like it's empathy we feel sad and horrified because we feel empathetic towards the situation which is horrifying these are children. Highly sensitive people react like that we feel it deeply. I'd rather feel empathy than feel nothing

Thank you darling wasn't the black dog I was horrified yet again this month with kids in Texas the amount of murders in this month alone much less in the last decades is a problem and we have to fix it. But being upset about a horrible tragedy is . Otherwise I'm really good EXO

All the functions you know I don't understand how people can accuse each other of being too emotional about horrific tragedy. I'm empathetic I am loving why is that seen as wrong? I'm thinking it's worse to not have an emotional response to tragedy.
2
It's guns and the NRA and lack of healthcare and poverty and lack of education and greed and racism and so many things it's multi causal we are sick and we have to do something about it because this isn't stopping it's getting worse we must do something these are children
1
You know it or not I love you and I appreciate that you express yourself this is a tragedy of unspeakable proportions and a follower completely patronize me told me to stop being so emotional. For Heaven's Sake how can a person not feel emotional about tragedy involving children

Or Worse kids hurt by family. I was chatty and hyperactive but I was a sweet little girl. Bullies and abusers are usually cowards. I do get angry I have a terrible temper but never have I once raised a hand to a human being. My voice yeah my words yes guilty but never violence.
