re: #215 Dangerman

This incident is getting front-page attention because of the ghastly human toll, but it is the 248th mass shooting in the U.S. this year, the 49th this month, and the 13th in the past week. And, incidentally, 27 of those have taken place at schools.

I just shared that stat with a student of mine here, and she read it and said, “That’s not possible. That makes Somalia look like some sleepy village where nothing ever happens. That’s something I’d expect to hear about in a warzone.”
