Current Affairs The " another shooting in America " thread
- Status
wow, that's a crazy twitter account. I'm not sure I can follow it, I want to but I don't think it would do my mental state any favors.
On my first ever visit to America (1978) on business, we booked into a Howard Johnson hotel. As we made to leave reception the receptionist said 'who has got the ground floor room' I said 'me'. She said 'Your room overlooks the car park, double check that the patio door is locked as a policeman was shot and killed on the car park last week'. Welcome to America!
This would national news over here, treated as an absolute horror story.
In the US, it's just Monday.
As @Ruairi77 says the whole account is a hard read but the many kids shooting themselves/being shot is particularly depressing.

Does feel like some kind of mass delusion, sure there must be some medical term for it
Oh, well this totally makes sense...

This idiot comes from a state (Tennessee if you are wondering) with one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease among teens.
Pretty sure porn isn't the issue in her district but i bet her pastor had a sermon about this and she is repeating him or her.
To tie in the churches constant battle with sex and more specifically porn is outrageous quite frankly.
Maybe if they worked on sex education which i believe is voluntary in a lot of schools in Tennessee (I have friends who raise kids there and who grew up there) and didn't try dismantling planned parenthood it might help more.
Ridiculous what they will come up with to avoid the real issue of guns and control.

I'm surprised they didn't shoot her.
Everything's legal in Jersey.
