    It’s not school children ruining our lives, so maybe I’ll just shrug then offer thoughts and prayers if it starts happening regularly.

      It’s not school children ruining our lives

      It isn’t a single fungible CEOs, either. The problem is systemic, not individualistic.

      Shooting a bunch of Sandy Hook middle schoolers is definitely more horrifying. But the consequences of the action are more of the same.

      More cops, more surveillance, more conspiracy theories, more terror.

      if it starts happening regularly

      It will never happen regularly enough to undermine the profit motive. Not if it’s just random Lone Wolf vigilantes who binge watched Demolition Ranch videos and got delusions of grandeur.
