School Walkouts

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

It will be interesting to see if the next school shooter participated in one of these marches...

Right from the playbook!
"I'm not saying that..."
"Some people say..."
"It will be interesting to see..."

I think the word you're looking for is... tragic.
It would be tragic if there's another school shooting.
But you already seem to accept there will be one ("if the next school shooter") and it's simply an exercise in curiosity as to the background of the shooter. Then, the one and only suggestion you put forward is, as usual, based on absolutely nothing other than some personal political agenda. If a future shooter attended a march against guns, you would be ready with a custom made talking point. Nice.

Here's what I wonder. What if the marches in Hilo, Waimea, and Honolulu and in 843 other cities today (500,000 expected in D.C.) lead to some kind of reduction in school shootings? Or, is it too much to hope mass shootings are almost eliminated from the national landscape and we can send our keiki to school just like human beings in every other civilized country across the world? Otherwise what's next? Common sense proposals from our overlords at the NRA that American kids proudly wear school uniforms to class made of bullet proof Kevlar?

I'll leave you with this quote today from one of the march participants, Paul McCartney:
“One of my best friends was shot not far from where we are right now,” a reference to the late John Lennon, killed on Dec. 8, 1980. McCartney sported a black T-shirt declaring, “We can end gun violence.”

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Holding an umbrella today is better than wearing Kevlar the rest of your life
