Unfortunately it seems necessary.
It's hard to miss some news, even though I have yet to visit a new site of any kind, even for this.
I did see hear they 'captured the suspect', which I deciphered as that he was white.
And since there hasn't been a female who has done a school shooting since the Boomtown Rats recorded "I Don't Like Mondays", I'm assuming it was guy.
It just seems all too predictable.
Granted the NRA can't be blamed for all of it. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have done little (read: almost nothing) to prevent this or even provide any kind of speed bump. The Dems pretend to care, which is a little more than the GOP's not giving a fuck at all. No one moves off the dime.
Not that I want any kid to die, but as it happens all too often, just once it has to be a senior politician's kid or grandkid. Sorry - it just has to be if there is going to be any movement at all. A freshmen representative's kid isn't gonna cut it.
When I heard this happen, I immediately thought of comedian Anthony Jeselnik's take on this. Say what you will about him, but in this clip, he is spot on.
It's not even comedy. It's political commentary.

I was thinking yesterday how school shootings had taken a summer vacation, wondering what political persuasion and demographic this 14 year old will be and why his parents weren’t sterilized when they came of age.
There have been 45 school shootings this year — I’m assuming calendar. I can’t remember more than a handful making national news.
Time to Vote, time to change the law, time to charge the parents of a 14 year old who should not have had access to a gun without adult supervision.
