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


“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.


I’m worried for my goddaughter who is sheltering in place. But I’m also thinking about the insane politics that contribute to this situation and I am 100% sure that she and her friends are also thinking about that right now as they are worried for themselves and their friends. I don’t see how one can think about one thing and not the other, but I appreciate that might not be how you process trauma and I wish you and your daughter the best.


Godmother is not a mother. NO-most MOTHERS, would only be thinking about their child at a moment like this. they are all still sheltering is in place….

Brilliant detective work!

It is NEVER a good time to talk about guns.



This is the world the GOP wants.


Trump and conservatives here have done everything they can to foment hate against Brown. It’s hypocritical for them to pretend they care about this.

My child has sheltered in place three times. Politics is part of reducing the odds that he’ll have to shelter in place for a fourth time.

Shooter at large. No leads.


Is that really the best option?


I dunno

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




Brown parent here. Just curious what you would've wanted VT to do differently.

It astounds me that there is a significant contingent of Americas who see tragic events such as this one and think, "We must do what we can to make sure our laws are as conducive as possible for getting guns into the hands of as many people as possible."

How is this my country?

Says who? You? I had a kid in one of these "active shooter" scares and you better believe I was furious at the people refusing to do anything to keep our kids safe.

Maybe if this were the first school shooting ever. But unless you’re as dumb as a rock or have been living under one, you are going to think about how and why these god damned school shootings happen all the time in the good ol US of A, and why parents keep voting for Republican politicians who choose guns over life every single time.
