So, one of the things that really irritates me is that this is enough of a thing, now, that the generation just out of high school and in school doesn't think about it too much. I take classes at the university, and right now I am in a class with a bunch of 18-19 year olds. In having a conversation with them after the last school shooting, I came to realize that they don't know a world where this isn't a thing. They don't have a pre-Columbine reference point. Much like how they don't know of the world pre-9/11, they don't know a world where the threat of a school shooter isn't something talked about regularly and drilled for.
That is sad.
That is sad.
