    then Sandy Hook

    I’m not trying to be weird or sound weird about it, but when the blood of white children can’t tip the scales against the gold of the gun lobby, it’s over. Roll credits.

    It’s so frustrating that we have done zero things other than give more cops more resources. That’s been our only thing we have done to protect kids and teachers. I hate it so much. It sucks so much such vulnerable group is just left to without protection in any sense of the world. We done nothing socially, infrastructure-ly, poltically, any other -ally i can think of other than give cops more money. I hate it.

      Here’s a little secret, both parties were going to give them record funding year after year regardless! owl-wink And look how well that’s turned out, we still have school shootings but the cops are too busy shooting black teenagers in the back.

      The only time kids’ actions can force the government to do anything is when the kids protest against “Israel.” All other actions—even being murdered—just lead to more of the same.

      Those white children were not part of rich and influential families. The scales will be pushed off the cliffs if these things started happening in the idyllic neighborhoods. Nothing is ever done because those who have the power to do something have nothing to fear.
