Like, people go to school not knowing if they die. People go to church not knowing if they die. People go to sleep and get shot by police. Black people go to do shopping and get shot. People go to concerts and get shot. How can any country function like this?
Other countries: Go to a wedding get blown up by a US drone. Go to the funeral for those killed at the wedding get blown up by a US drone. Reporters at the scene of the drone strike get shot from US helicoters. US likes to spread their crazy.
Power pisses on the weak
I know I'm going to get downvoted for this, but millions of americans go to school, church, concerts, etc, and have no worries whatsoever about getting shot because the statistical probability of that happening is so low that the average American is extremely more likely to die from preventable diseases caused by poor diets or even choking on food than to die in a mass shooting. Yet despite this being the case, people tend to heavily focus conversation on mass shootings rather than poor diets because of the inherent shock value mass shootings have in the public conscious than someone they personally know that dies from heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, etc.
Why isn't there a larger focus on things that make a population sick rather than tools that allow a population to defend themselves? 🤔
people go to concerts and die from crowd collapses, like thats insane and it happens very often.
