The kind of diversity many Jews support, indeed.

Take a bunch of people who are diverse in every way, ethnically, religiosity, political ideology, economically. racially, put them in a big melting pot, turn up the heat and watch them bump up against each other.

Sometimes you get Tex-Mex, Korean tacos, bahn-mi (crusty French bread, pickled veg and roasted pork) or shrimp po-boys. Yum.

Good things happen when cultures collide. Scientific innovation, art, music, theater, cuisine but also and less frequently bad stuff happens, think butter chicken nachos.

And sometimes, and thankfully even less often really. really bad stuff happens. Like people get targeted for partaking in the freedom to exist in this great messy uniquely American social construct.

They bump up against the crazy, or evil, and crazy evil is really not a good combination, much like butter chicken nachos shouldn’t be a thing, but it is, and they are, both things.

Disharmony is the price we pay for freedom. Frictionless, stasis has never been reality and it never will be reality.

Maybe this is the best we can hope for in a country of 400+ million diverse souls — the isolated, one off, crazy evil bad actors who occasionally pop off and take down a few of the many.

After all the many still stand safe and strong and free.

No, we can have better. Hope is not working. We have to make real changes. We are in a situation where many, many freedoms are being taken away from us. We live in fear. We make our kids hide under desks in dark rooms to practice for the day when a shooter enters the school. We have cameras all over the place for the time when we need to review the footage. We avoid going places with lots of people. The many do not stand safe and strong and free. Our kids are afraid and we are afraid for them. Who protected them in Uvalde?

the guy was already charged with a gun felony in July yet he was free to shoot people

Yes, what we are doing now is not working.

From the PP:

Good things cannot happen if the really bad stuff is not controlled. People at the top of those professions have choices, many choices. People in society only partake of music, art, theater, and cuisine if they feel safe doing so. People in science generally like to live in places where they can partake of cultural amenities. They also like to raise their kids in safe schools. These things are more readily available elsewhere and people are looking.

We’ve had more than one mass shooting per day so far this year. That’s more than occasional.

They should have been carrying guns themselves. Only a good GUY with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun.

His prior felony was having a gun on school grounds https://twitter.com/billfoxla/status/1626748779230793729?s=46&t=jNHqeiXIIObNKn-X8VLbvA

Is California willing to enforce harsh consequences?

Thank goodness they both survived. And, those antisemitic comments were not just comments, some were outright threats.

I wonder about the previous felony charge..........

And this happened as well

Who is teaching these kids this?
