Americans need to look in the mirror and examine who we have become collectively. None of us want this violence to continue. None of us really know what to do. Friends, it’s not guns. Take away the guns, perpetrators will use knives, cars or dangerous chemicals. Increased mental health services will help, but by itself, will not solve the horrific challenge we current face.
UPDATE 4.13.23: Over two-thirds of parents are frightened that a shooting could happen at their children’s school, however home is a far more dangerous place for kids. In the five years ending in 2022, at least 866 kids 17 and younger were shot in domestic violence incidents; same time, 268 children were shot at school, 75 of them fatally. [source]
Americans must change the way we treat each other. The shootings left 185 people dead and another 369 injured. On the other hand, Chicago had nearly 600 homicides (2022). They’re mostly Black and poor, so America doesn’t speak much about this violence. Law enforcement alone killed at least 1,176 people or about 100 people a month in 2022, making it the deadliest for police violence.
At least 210 died in 42 mass killings in 2022 (defined as four or more people are killed within a 24-hour period, excluding the killer), according to the USA TODAY/Associated Press/Northeastern University mass killing database.
Adrienne Lane, originally from British Columbia, Canada, posted the list of school shootings since Thurston High School — some 491 tragic events over the past 25 years — without more aloha in our world, there will be more.
