I don't like the way the media is processing the shootings.
Having different people from supposedly related areas of knowledge trying to inform the general public on how to survive a mass shooting or how to react or what to look for or what you should do in the event of.
Really?
Why not include the asking of why the hell congress and a president refuse to address this? Isn't it about time for mass protesting nation wide instead of mass shootings? Or targeting from the voting booth members of congress like Mitch McConnell instead of targeting innocent people at a Walmart?
I really wonder just how many of these mass shootings America will tolerate?
And how long Americans will tolerate their leaders doing absolutely nothing to address this?
You can not be home schooled on how to avoid a mass shooter or how to recognize a person about to engage in mass shooting.
When the shots start flying it takes a few seconds to first realize the pops are not simple fireworks. And by then its probably too late.
And it takes a few seconds to go from stunned and shocked to running, screaming, and escaping. That is.... if you even know which way to escape to.
And if you even know from what direction the shots are coming from.
No one goes to a movie or restaurant or large gathering expecting to engage a mass shooter.
Like with Donald Trump suggesting the answer to school shootings is to arm teachers. That doesn't work. And the media with their experts telling people how to react if caught in a mass shooting, that won't work either.
It happens too fast.
And on the shooters side is the element of surprise.
If the shooter knew the element of surprise would not exist then the shooter would never take the risk.
SO you can't teach people how to react to something like a mass shooter because they happen so fast and always unexpectedly. In the end you are either one of the victims or one of the very very lucky.
If we really want to stop this new American pastime and reduce the instances of mass shootings then we must march and protest and vote people out of office.
And finally, we need to force our leaders to enact laws.
In other words..... address this from a different angle altogether.
From am angle congress has never once tried, and refuses to try.
