There's something fraudulent about this eagerness to latch onto the grief of others and embrace the idea that we, too, have been victimized.
I have to agree with this. It's just another way our "esteemed" news media can hype up the horror - remember their motto, "If it bleeds it leads". The more people our MSM can convince to feel like victims, the more support they hope to gain for their agenda.
I am not belittling the murders. It directly affected tens of thousands of people, instilled fear in tens of thousands more. It completely disrupted the school. It’s difficult to think of it without envisioning what the faculty and students went through waiting for the shots to come.
But - I don’t consider my self a “victim”. I don’t believe I was traumatized.
Fine. But do make sure you read the entire article to make a full assessment of her agenda.
I went there. My son wants to go there. I have friends and family there. My son has classmates there. I’m not a victim, but I sure as hell ~was~ traumatized by this.
Were we as a nation victimized? No not really, just a further erosion of our belief that our kids are safe...anywhere.
My 17-year-old son was consumed by these events this week. He spent all yesterday afternoon repeatedly viewing the pictures of vigils and tributes from across the country.
To heap scorn upon those who mourn, those who comfort, or those who want to show solidarity by a simple fashion statement, all for political agenda as Mizz Brooks has done is to lower oneself below the scummiest of the scum.
