I can’t edit this, but COMMENTERS, this was not an invitation for you to explain it to me. Sooooo gun nuts or militant devil’s advocates, go to directly to the corner of Fuck and Off.

I worked for the main newspaper in Rhode Island when we had a terrible nightclub fire that killed 100 people. It was absolutely horrifying and because RI is so small and close-knit, almost everyone knew someone. The guy who did the obits had to do the one for his best friend (of 30 years) and couldn’t work for six…

One of my senators is Ted Cruz. ;_;

It’s become nerve-wracking. I’ve had nightmares about it happening at work after we had to take active shooter training. Who’s next, me, someone I love? The idiots are making our most important decisions now, and yes, all people who still believe in lax GC laws are idiots.

This is a really great book (though you may find the subject matter difficult) - part of it details this medical examiner’s experience dealing with the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, and describes the impact it had on her (and others who work in the fields that deal with these situations) as well as her family life,…

Okay, so I am from a pretty gun-free nation. I was working abroad in big, bad scary Africa (seriously, it was so safe where I was). A colleague had worked at an American school for 3 years prior to coming to Africa. She said that actual lockdowns happened almost once a month. This is insane. It does not have to be…

I email my local and US representatives and my local senator. It’s useless to email my US senators because I live in the south and they are both assholes. Thank you for encouraging me to do that.

This is the country we live in now, paying it forward to first responders for the next mass shooting from the responders in the “past”.......six months in the past. This. Is. America. Now. The gun nuts have taken over and all sense and reason is gone.

I am so confused by people who are willing accept this and act like it has nothing to do with them and their gun love.

Years from now people will earn their phd's writing dissertations on America and its mentality with mass shootings, pages will be devoted to these kinds of reactions and our weary acceptance.

Alright, I take the bait: I’m pretty sure the author meant it was sad that we even have to deal with the fall out of mass shootings, period. Not health care workings helping each other out. Mass shootings should not be a regular thing. It’s very obvious in the article this is the meaning.

It’s sad that the frequency of mass shootings has created this tradition among hospitals. No one is criticing the solidarity or camaraderie.

Someone I know volunteered at a hospital and after the Boston bombings she went in because normally her job was to bring blood to people who needed transfusions but she got there right as the majority of the victims were being brought in and she was cut off from where she needed to go and she had to wait for them to…

Yesterday’s tragedy was in my hometown. Suffice it to say that my level of rage that gun violence occurs so frequently, and is so seemingly acceptable to a large proportion of the U.S. population, is palpable today.

My sister is an ER nurse, so my heart goes out to the staff who have to deal with the aftermath of these shootings. It is traumatic for them too.

Did you see the comment about how people don’t know their neighbors anymore but they need a way to know who to trust with their kids? My head almost exploded.

A bubbly, no-holds-barred “trendy lady” with a marketing degree and two recruiting companies, Cordray sees no reason you wouldn’t want to “showcase your character” online.

Which they’re trying to scrub. The creators of this app don’t like unsolicited opinions on their app.

What if they just buy a cheap burner cell and give that number to the app? And when the company texts the burner, they reply as if they were you? So that you never even know that a profile for you was created and have no way of defending yourself.

Lol, the app’s Facebook page is already filled with pissed-off commenters.
