Let’s not politicize this please.

People always say that and then nothing happens. How many of these do we have to see happen and listen to empty platitudes about thoughts and prayers while politicians continue to take money from gun manufacturers?

You can’t give it even an hour during an active shooting to begin screeching politics. This is scary, horrifying, and needs to be addressed, but right now, parents are worried their kids may be dead or soon dead

If you help put guns in the street, this blood is on you. I don’t give one crap if you are offended.

This.

Tomorrow will mark 13 years since Sandy Hook. The students shot today were likely born in the same years. We had 13 years. So when is "too soon", exactly?

My college freshman was 5 and in kindergarten when Sandy Hook happened. There is a Parkland survivor on lockdown at Brown right now. It is not political to state that we have failed in protecting America’s children from gun violence. That is fact.

Political is whether you think that’s acceptable and what you are willing or not willing to do about it.

Children go to bed hungry in America. Whether you think we should do something about that and if so what we should do is political.

Not the time as it’s still happening right now, @sshole.

“Screeching politics” means highlighting things that make a certain kind of politics look bad.

Don’t bring up politics! (Nobody says this during terrorist attacks where the perpetrators are a different kind of politics)

People can bring up whatever they want and if you cared enough to have the courage to chime in you'd have the right to do so.

Right now I’m worried about my daughter who is sheltering in place.

Thinking of you and your daughter. My kid is terrified for friends who are at brown but doesn’t want to bother them, realizing that they are probably sheltering and worried about all of their classmates.

I hope they find the shooter soon.

This is terrifying. Those poor college kids. Have they said if the ones who died were students (or security/ faculty/ staff)?

Right. Because mass shootings never happen outside.

It stopped, shooting at majority minority schools in the 80's and 90's

Not sure what you're saying. There are mass shooting that occur outside. Google it. Music festivals, parades, splash parks, outdoor dining. . .

My friend is headed there now to grab daughter.

Shooter at large. No leads.

Sending prayers to the kids and families.

As a parent of a child who was at VT when the shooting happened there my heart goes out to every Brien parent.

I hope that the police and school do a better job because VT failed at every turn.

I am worried about your daughter too, and I hope she is OK.

I am also worried about gun laws.

The two can happen at the same time, and it makes complete sense for one to more front of mind given your situation. That's how the world needs to work.
