But I thought school shootings happened because God wasn't in schools anymore /s
- I keep joking to myself in my head it’s because we’re atheists (this was actually my daughter’s school, she is fine). It’s been a rough day
  
  Physically fine, maybe. And I'm glad for her, but definitely keep an eye out for signs of PTSD. She didn't even have to see or hear anything herself.
No! NO GUN CONTROL! All we can do is hope and pray! Do you hear me! HOPES AND PRAYERS!!! we don't want to end up like russia now, do we!? PLEASE PEOPLE I'M BEGGING YOU, PRAY LIKE YOU'VE NEVER PRAYED BEFORE AND HOPE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HOPED BEFORE. NO LAW OR REGULATION CAN HELP US NOW, JUST HOPES AND PRAYERS.

Edit: I messed up. We should have been thinking and praying and not hoping and praying. This is all my fault I'm sorry, everyone.
- Which presumably were taught, and present in abundance, at this august institution
No longer so abundant apparently.
The first story I saw about this today already had "thoughts and prayers" from Ron Johnson.
