    Something like this would have paused and galvanized the entire U.S. 20 years ago.

    I wonder if this will even be mentioned in tomorrows news.

    People already making jokes, we’ve truly lost all hope.

      Someone shoots a school, the press talks about it for a day. Someone shoots a rando, the press doesn’t even mention it. Someone shoots a CEO, the press talks about it for weeks.
