Ugh..
Ugh, sigh. I shot off an angry tweet at Marco Rubio because of it. (Feel free to follow me anyone.) He was starting with the typical "thoughts and prayers" bullshit that rings so fucking hollow I don't know why they even bother. ETA: Whoops, that was my follow up tweet. Here was the tweet to Rubio.
Yeah, this is dumb and insensitive thing to say, and it's not even correct, 17 is on par with other school mass shootings.This is really insane...
One of the teachers was just being interviewed by Rachel Maddow, and she was describing what happened for her and her students (all safe). Towards the end of the interview, she mentioned that the school actually has "active shooter" drills (just like another type of fire drill). They have detailed emergency plans and code words for shooters and bomb threats. She said that, at first, they all thought it was an unannounced "active shooter" drill. She credits all of the planning and drills for the fact that *only* 17 people died today.
To make matters a little worse, it was Valentine's Day today. This fuckwad managed to ruin a holiday for life for about 2500 families.

Do me a favor - report this asswipe to Twitter: @TrumpSlide_2020
He is #doxing an innocent person, including posting the home address & phone number for the WRONG Nick Cruz.
Stupid fucker is posting screenshots of voter registration records for the wrong person... a Nicolas Cruz born in May
Broward Sheriff's department already reported that the shooter spells his name Nikolas, and that his birth month is September.
I'm assuming money. Is there some other thing that should have prevented him from getting the weapons? Being on medication doesn't make someone mentally defective.Seems there were signs Cruz had mental issues. It will be interesting to see how this kid got the weapons.
Only 12 of the 17 deceased have been identified so far.
I fully understand why, but how horrifying for the families still trying to find their children.

Anyway, I was watching Anderson Coopeer and apparently they have a policy on CNN of not showing the name or picture of the shooter. I find that interesting that they understand that, I just think they don't go far enough. CNN (and others) should try to stop covering/mentioning it completely. I would also have banned using such plots on TV/movies. But I understand that it would be hard/impossible to do.
