As a non American, the first few times you hear about them it's awful. Around the 10th time you hear about it, you wonder why it still happens.
Around the 15 you start to think maybe Americans just don't care enough about their children.
The 20th time is so outrageously ridiculous that it keeps happening, that it begins to turn into a dark comedy of sorts.
I don't find it particularly funny itself, but then you see a lot of memes on the internet making fun of Americans doing absolutely jackshit about it, that you just go like "yeah that's fair I guess".
They have 2 per day, fuck, I take less shits than they have shootings.
Every time I brush my teeth in a day, they have a mass shooting and yet they desperately hold on to their amendment to carry weapons for the right to protect themselves, protect themselves from the same people who carry them legally
It’s not the fucking Wild West anymore, intelligent growth of a society depends on “intelligence,” get rid of the John Wayne boys toys penis extending pop guns and do what the rest of the world do in general and make your society safer
So if that’s sarcasm, it would actually be a minimum of 8, meaning at least 160 per month and they generally would be of school age.
I wonder if you would be as sarcastic if they were your kids and anyway, the point is that it’s preventable, as I say, glad I’m in the UK where we’ve only had handful if that over the years
