Reply to comment by Travis123083 in Police swarm multiple local schools after reports of shootings, believed to be hoax by Bmartin_

Right? I was 9 when Columbine happened. Now my kids are in elementary school and it's a whole new level than we had growing up. It used to be disgruntled/bullied high school kids, that was the worry. Now it can be grown adults waltzing into schools to kill innocent elementary aged kids who they've never met.

My son was the same age as the kids who died at Uvalde. We had a brief but heartbreaking conversation about it. 9 year olds aren't supposed to live with that fear but here we are, 2nd generation in a row.

I remember going to school before all this, and my parents never had to worry about whether I'd be shot or not. The biggest worry was cars hitting us or being kidnapped.

Sad thing about Columbine is that the shooters were the bullies. They were also into Nazis for some weird reason.
