just yesterday i asked "who's next?"
who will be the next victims of berserk gun violence in our bloodthirsty country.
now we know.
this is the campus at Seattle Pacific University, where 4,000 students and teachers go to learn valuable lessons about science and philosophy and the arts and where to hide during a mass shooting.
this is the scene this afternoon in front of the gym where my daughter (and dozens of other young girls and their coaches) practice gymnastics.
by sheer, blind chance, the girls were not yet at the gym today when seven people were shot.
right. fucking. there.
fuck this.

My girlfriend teaches preschool across the Nickerson from there. Another day another lockdown. I can't imagine what she tells those kids when they can't go outside, or near the now shuttered windows. Horrifying.
i've been exchanging texts with my daughter. she and her friends on the team are very shaken. their coach sent this email earlier:
DUE TO SPU LOCKDOWN TEAM PRACTICE WILL BE CANCELLED TONIGHT.
PLEASE DO NOT COME NEAR SPU CAMPUS.
FOR MORE INFORMATION CHECK THE NEWS.
mind-numbing.
Yup. screw this, screw the NRA and screw the Republican's that support the NRA and anyone else who does. I can understand the sport of hunting and maybe some of those hunt for food but there is NO NEED for hand guns or any guns in the hands of everyday people, I was also shocked at the recent numbers of women who own hand guns with concealed weapon permits in Washington State just FYI, now do they really think that they will just happen to have their hand on a gun if they are in a situation where they would need it? Hell no, these guns get stored in homes in drawers or cabinets where the wrong people find them. People think they have the right to protect themselves but really, from what? what did they do that they need guns around for protection? anyone hear of Mace? maybe worst case a stun gun? These would be easier to carry and keep around in a safe manner and no freak or mental person is gonna take it and use it on other innocent people. In am so sick of guns and so sick of the gun lovers, screw you!
peace, friend.
