Providence Journal had stated two students

And, eight people critically injured

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 only a Parkland survivor but an actual shooting victim from the Saugus High School mass shooting four years ago.

You misspelled gun control.

ah yes gun control because criminals will willingly give up their guns

Clearly you don't understand gun control.

Clearly you don’t understand how many guns are in America. They’re impossible to control.

What an asinine thing to say. The problem is so tremendous , just do nothing?!

Families lost loved children tonight

Republicans will wake up in the morning and spew crap again

Red voters will vote for the same shits again because Republicans do not give two shits about children.

Ulvade
Sandy Hook
Parkland
Columbine

Told us this

Alex Jones fans are the absolute worst of humans

“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….

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.

I'd rather focus on supporting the Brown community right now. Perhaps we dont have to insult and attack each other right now, and show a bit of kindness and compassion for affected students/families/faculty. I am horrified and angry about senseless shooting, and fully support gun control, but I am exhausted from the unnecessary nastiness and name calling

Listening to police radio traffic. There are currently 3 active call for multiple shots fired. Three different streets. Now a fourth street just came in.

That is strange. Very troubling. What is happening?

I’m not familiar with the area. One may have been fireworks.

BS. Unless your kid is at Brown, your “focus” on “supporting” the community consists of what helpful activity?! Many of us can in fact hold two thoughts in our head at once. We can read about Brown and text our friends with kids there, and we can also be angry once again at Republicans and their supporters who are all to willing to go through this again.

There's also just a lot of false alarms after something like this. I know when I looked at the Brown site earlier it mentioned that a report of a second incident was incorrect but that you should still be sheltering in place from the first incident. Situations like this breed chaos and confusion.

Thanks for proving my point.

Go to sleep. You’re exhausted.


This board isn’t Providence or Ivy League focused. The best support people can give isn’t pretending to cry online. It’s to keep top of mind why these tragic, sickening events keep happening.

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.

NP. There's a time a place to reflect on laws and how they impact us. This is not the time. You are a jerk.
