I saw a video (which I very rarely watch anything negative or upsetting) of shoppers hiding in a bathroom. I wish I never saw it.

I'm sorry @albean99 that it was so close to you.

I can't imagine, especially young children going through that and the family and friends living with the loss.

It's like mass shootings are little mini wars going on with weapons that were designed for big, serious wars. What cowards use these weapons on innocent people? If you have so much hate, use with someone who is expecting it - in a real war, not one borne of personal desperation.

I could go on and on about the need for community with disaffected people. The fact this person was released from the army after 90 days for poor mental health is a statement on the irresponsibility of the military. We need to care for those with amental health crisis just like any other health crisis. But if a person doesn't have access to health care or a caring community, where do they turn? When was the last time you reached out to someone you knew wasn't well? We need to walk the talk.
