Brave workers that saved the day at a local movie theater.
It is scary to imagine what could have happened. This is a place I went before the pandemic and just too close.

When does this end?
When?
I'm heartbroken and shaking with sadness and anger and I fear the answer to my questions is "never."

I keep thinking about homeschooling my children instead, but my oldest is thriving in Kindergarten and really needs that social interaction. We shouldn't have to live this way.

I feel defeated and listless and like nothing will ever change. Will I be worrying about this still when my (hypothetical) grandchildren are in school? Worrying about them? I feel like yes, unless I move my family to Europe. Which won't happen.

I don’t even know how to feel. I’m shattered for the victims but I’m also struggling for not feeling something for the shooter too. I can’t imagine a sixth grader would be capable of this without an underlying cause like mental illness ( I could be wrong but that’s just my headspace now).

I am seeing the shooter was a 28 year old woman not a 6th grader. Anyone have a good source?
This is just the scariest thing to see today as a mom.

I'm seeing 28 year old woman too. One outlier in this entire headache of mass shootings, a woman. Not that it matters but someone somewhere is going to make this about the woman instead of the guns. Or the fact that 99% of other shootings are done by white men.

A reporter just said this country doesn't have more people who are capable of carrying out these attacks, just more guns available to them. Is there really any hope of this getting better? I started trying to research a few months ago countries that are somewhat easy to move to from the US but trying to make a living is another thing....ugh. I feel like we're trapped like rats.

But TN banned drag shows to keep children safe. How could this have happened?
/sarcasm.
In all seriousness I am just numb to it all and I keep repeating to myself. My kids are OK today, my kids are OK today.

My heart breaks for the loved ones of the victims and for the kids and faculty/staff who survived, but witnessed things no one, especially no child, should ever have to.
I hate that I'm not surprised. This is life in this country. It shouldn't be.
