@cstross And just now I saw how Wikipedia has to disambiguate "Cleveland Elementary School shooting" BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO. TWO SHOOTINGS AT DIFFERENT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS CALLED "CLEVELAND ELEMENTARY".
@themself@rayckeith@wjrucklidge@cstross Which gets even grimmer considering that we are discussing just one facet of a persons life. Factoring all the rest must be a major point of distraction; frustration and realisation for this generation.
@cstross we have become numb to it. Those of us that oppose massive gun proliferation die a little inside every time we hear another mass shooting, and know that the politicians won't do a DAMN thing about it. And we can't do anything to get rid of those politicians because a certain sizable subset of americans have fetishized the gun and won't allow ANY sort of progress towards change. It's beyond maddening. :(
'Tens of thousands of Serbs have joined protests against gun violence in the capital Belgrade and another city after two mass shootings last week.
Seventeen people died in the shootings on Wednesday and Thursday, including eight children in a primary school.
The protesters are demanding that top government officials resign, and want newspapers and TV stations that they say promote violence to be shut down.'
