And yet you've now spent multiple pages on a post about 27 dead 8 and 9 year olds arguing about the phrase "cry to sleep." Who has made this about themselves? |
Well putting aside that the orderly evacuation should have happened the night before, I can’t imagine making a cabin stay put while others were leaving, telling them their turn was next. |
OP here - STOP . Stop the hate. We all know grief affects everyone differently. stop being so mean. Stop hating. |
Can we just use reasonable and precise language please? Words have meaning. This isn’t a TikTok. |
Your thread will be locked, just like the other one. There was no point in starting a new one. |
STOP!!!! move on if you can’t handle people comforting each other. |
NP. I did not cry myself to sleep about this last night because I only started reading about the details this morning. I did cry myself to sleep after Uvalde. Literally, not figuratively. |
That’s…not what is happening here. Or on any of the other threads on the topic that already exist. |
But…what if she actually cried herself to sleep? That’s precise. And such a response seems perfectly reasonable to me. |
We don't know the details yet of how that worked, but I'm sure no one said "wait here in danger." I'm assuming it was a chaotic dark night and that it was hard to imagine the waters would get up to the next level of cabins as quickly as it did. No responsible adult makes the decision for people to wait in danger. It's quite possible that it is similar to when people were evacuating the World Trade Center in 2001 and people were told to wait at their emergency gathering spots versus evacuating completely under the assumption that the disaster was a "normal" one versus what we know it was in hindsight. We can't imagine the unimaginable until it happens. |
I think it is normal. To be unaffected by tragedy is not normal. |
Reporting you. |
I was responding to the person directly above me who wrote: “ The cabins that held the missing young girls were part of a section of buildings that were higher than some of the lower-lying cabins, which they had evacuated first.” |
Except here its someone petty about the use of "crying to sleep" as opposed to politics. OMG. Can we just focus on the fact that little girls were swept away? |
What is there to focus on? It happened. It was a huge heartbreaking tragedy. It probably could and should have been prevented. Survivors will be scarred for life and families irretrievably broken. What else is there to discuss? |
