And of course as if to remind us, there was a mass shooting at a school today.

    The 20-year-old son of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy used his mother’s gun to go on a shooting rampage on Florida State University’s Tallahassee campus Thursday, killing two people and wounding six others, law enforcement officials said. The alleged shooter was himself shot and taken to a local hospital. The surviving victims were listed in fair condition.

    Honestly ive been nervous about this issue since im planning to go to college soon. Im definitely gonna be taking precations. Always parking close by, have emergency first aid stuff in my trunk, and memorizing escape routes to my car or to a good hiding spot from all my classes.

      Good things to know. I don’t know if there are any in your area but first aid classes would be a good thing to do. You’ll probably learn other useful stuff like CPR or caring for someone having a seizure etc. so the skills are always relevant.

      Are you implying the students at a Florida university deserve to be murdered because the population of Florida is fascist?

      This is likely to be some fucking hog from Florida trying to “stop liberal indoctrination” or something. Especially since the cops managed to take him in alive.

        It’s a reaction to the crocodile tears rolling down Ron Desantis’ face. This is a tragedy and another example of ongoing American social collapse

        Casey and I stand in solidarity and are praying for the entire Florida state community. We’re mourning the two individuals who lost their lives in this tragic attack, and we wish well those who are currently recovering in the hospital. This killer must and will be brought to justice to the fullest extent of the law

        He is complicit

        It’s the son of a sheriff’s deputy so that’s probable

          Your “reaction” is to say the students deserved it.

          That’s what that saying means.

          If your entire online personality is just gonna be catch phrases you heard other people say at least fucking use them correctly. As opposed to saying this is what the murder victims deserve and voted for.

            That’s your impression apparently

            Lol okay dude. I didn’t intend for you to get worked up over saying something below your expected level of discourse. Maybe this is an opportunity for your own self reflection

              No you dipshit you literally said the college students murdered by some chud deserved it.

              This requires zero self reflection by me. I didn’t do anything but call out somebody for saying murdered students deserved it. It could be an opportunity for you to not say stupid shit you don’t even understand the meaning of.

              Bit I don’t believe that’ll happen because your entire vocabulary appears to be reddit clichés without even having the intelligence to know what they mean.

                I explained what I meant. All you’re doing now is telling yourself a story

                  No you didn’t you got called out, started making excuses and then just started acting like an npc scripped entirely on stupid reddit catchphrase to continuously insist you aren’t owned.

                  Your complete inability to admit to a mistake is incredibly embaressing.

                Impression =/= intention

                This person’s reaction to clarification was to enrage themself, that warrants self reflection
