At least four people were wounded, none critically, in a shooting at Morgan State University in Baltimore on Tuesday, according to authorities, who urged students to take shelter on the campus of the historically Black college.
There is so much death and cruelty in the world that if someone cares too much they are just bound to wind up depressed. It seems that the majority of people really only care about people that they are acquainted with, or if they witness the terrible thing in person. It’s just kind of built into human nature, otherwise we would be in a constant state of grief.
Things like mass shootings bother most empathetic people, in general. It’s just that life kind of has to go on, and all they can really do to try and change it is to vote for one of two lesser evils in some local or national election.
The problem is not really with the people. It’s with our crappy political system that is controlled by corporate lobbyists. The majority of US citizens don’t really seem to have a say. Source: Empathetic person with chronic depression.
People have gone numb as an emotional safeguard. People have lives they’re trying to live, and if they fell to pieces every time someone got shot in this country they’d die of dehydration from all the crying.
Some people actively get mad too when you mention that people died.
“Of course people died, here we go another fucking gun grab wrapped in a sob story. If all THOSE people had guns too it’d have never happened. This is what you get for being unprepared now stfu I’m shopping online for another AR. 🤷”
None of those gun nuts have ever been able to answer my basic question about their stated goal of everyone carrying at all times -
You’re at a public event, few hundred+ people in attendance,everybody (even just most) are packing. A gun goes off. Every “Good guy with a gun” turns toward the sound while pulling their guns. You now have 50-100+ (adjusted for crowd size) people with guns drawn. How do you know which of the 50-100+ people actually fired their gun?
Noone has ever had any answer other than “oH yOuD kNoW” which, call me crazy, doesn’t really answer the question.
Yeah it’s kind of wild to me the number of people that think teachers having guns is a good idea, that way teachers can get into a shootout with students that go crazy. Absolutely insane.
No one dead, Americans won’t care.

Had to Ctrl+f to even find it as a bullet point on the CNN front page…
They don’t care when someone does die either…

Any country where you need a gun in order to feel safe walking around is a shithole.
Does it actually make you feel safer? I think I would feel less safe every time I remember I have a gun on me because I may need to use it.

Heck, the government doesn’t consider it a mass shooting unless there’s three people that died! How fucked up is that?
Fuck you.
