I don't think the point of the topic is 'America has it so bad' but 'Why the fuck is this country still obsessed with guns?'

You have eight year olds who are jaded to the fact that mass shootings happen around them. The fact that you can't see that as sad, instead deflecting to China and Russia as worse examples of violent nations, is pathetic. They're irrelevant to the conversation, because we're talking about America.

No child should be thinking "I've got my head around this whole mass shooting thing, it's happened to me twice", regardless of their age or nationality. No adult citizen should be thinking that either. And the reason why is because they shouldn't be subjected to mass shootings at all.

That's an awful burden to put on anyone, let alone an 8 year old.

i agree, this is not good.

but also, what I'm saying is that the people who think that would be horrified when thinking about what children in actually bad places live like. places with slave labor, rampant sex trafficking, and war. the realities of those places would be terrifying to people who think america is a dystopia

i said that it is not good in my first line. i 100% agree with you that it's a terrible thing that happens in the US, on a regular basis.

Is the Nationals stadium in a rough part of town? I know DC has some slummy and unsafe areas, but you would think the ball park would be pretty safe.
