I was watching a live stream of the minnesota state fair. I paid particularly close attention to the look on most people's faces as the streamer passed by. Id say at least half the people looked stressed, anxious and/or on edge. It's like if something just started popping off they wouldn't be shocked

They're probably afraid of getting shot. I don't go to things like fairs because I'm too worried about there being a shooter. Nowhere is safe. My mom went to a festival and had a hard time enjoying it because she just kept thinking "wow this would be the perfect place for a shooter". It got shot up two days later. Oddly, this isn't the first time she had a bad feeling that turned out to be true. We were going to see a movie one night but she had that feeling and we didn't go. That's how we avoided being in the Aurora theatre shooting. Hell, I've had a gun waved at me from someone driving in front of us. It can happen anywhere. Schools, concerts, churches, grocery stores... Remember when teenagers used to hang out at the mall all day? Now malls are practically deserted. There's just nowhere safe to have fun anymore. It's no wonder people here are so screen-addicted.
