My cousin teaches there. He wasn't there at the time of the shooting, but Jesus fucking Christ. The first I heard of this was from him, since I'm spending the weekend with his parents and he called to let us know he was okay. I'm so sick of this shit. And while I'm relieved beyond words that my cousin is safe, my heart just breaks for the people who were killed.

I lived in Santa Monica for 8 years. I used to live across the street from SMC and in a place not that far from the first crime scene. Seeing the news yesterday made me ill. And knowing the government will do nothing to try to prevent the next one makes me depressed.

Horrifying.

Police said the gunman used an AR-15-type assault rifle and had other weapons as well as handguns.

No civilian needs a fucking assault rifle. But oh, I forgot, it's not the time to talk about gun control, amirite? Especially because it was a white man.

Especially because it was a white man.

It was just a strange, isolate incident. Not like those brown people with their terrorism!

But it's not really an 'assault rifle'. You're using the wrong definition!! You're not getting it! Why do you hate on guns and the people who fetish them?!!!

hasn't pretty much every mass shooting lately been with an AR-15?

this shit is just going to keep happening, too. Everyone thought that post-Sandy Hook that the government would actually do something, but I knew they wouldn't. Sigh.
