    Tells you everything you need to know about how our government and media see themselves.

    We’re all driven to action, or at least expression of opinion, based on things that happen to us or people like us.

    Kids/poor people get shot: no government officials give a damn, media run the story for clicks.

    CEO gets shot: media and government freak out, they relate more to the CEO and see themselves as targets.

    All men are equal… their votes count the same, except when they don’t… their net worth is the same, except when it isn’t… some are just more equal than others 😐

    One unfortunate thing to bear in mind is that school shooting and gun violence stats are pumped up somewhat by gun suicides by people on school grounds.

    Even with that in mind, this whole thing is absolutely disgusting and absurd.
