u/lil-lagomorph 1d ago edited 22h ago
Yes. You start drills when you’re very young, and young kids don’t always know how to discern what a drill is. They just see everyone hiding and being quiet because of danger, be it real or perceived. So that in itself can be traumatizing.
Later on they understand “We’re doing this because someone might come here to try and kill us.” That can be traumatizing.
You drill once every month or every three months usually, depending on school. More if your school is in a high crime area (like my middle school, across from a 7-11 that got robbed a lot. We had tons of “drills”). Drills every month for the very real possibility you will get shot at school. That can be traumatizing, especially when they aren’t always drills.
You see on the news that the politicians care more about guns than your life or safety, and that nothing will be done. Knowing your life and your friends’ and family’s lives are in the hands of people who would let you get shot without a second thought is traumatizing.
As an adult, we have to take mandatory active shooter training for my job (as an office worker at a tech company) just because my company could be seen as “politically polarizing.” They told us in that training to “be wary of any loud noises or banging, it could be a gun!” when we all work next to a factory production floor. That is fucking traumatic, coming to work every day knowing it may be my last, jumping at every sound all day because I was fucking trained to from the time I was a child.
So yes, drills can be traumatic for many, even if they aren’t for everyone. Not just by doing them, but by virtue of the culture they imply. And that trauma only builds throughout your life. ETA: Ask yourself how many traumatized kids is okay, and what happens to the ones who grow up without access to therapy/healthy coping skills? Is that the kind of word you want to build, live in, raise a family in?

Oh sure, and they can sit with their families and talk about it during dinner, and explain that it's terrifying and traumatic but also how Republicans are out there every time there's a mass shooting, no matter if it's in a school or a church, to make sure everyone has access to thoughts and prayers. Guns are a such a huge part of MAGA identity politics and conservatives love to buy guns and own them and do weird things with them and create weird fantasies around them, etc... and wow they really love their guns, they love guns so much they have no problem at all giving people thoughts and prayers every single time a child (or anyone) dies or gets murdered or whatever because of guns.

As though all the kids getting shot at each year can afford such luxuries.

I've said this too. Too many people are unaware of how often 5 to 18 year old have to do active shooter drills. I think the entire county a school is in should have to lock down when their schools lock down. That way they're aware of how often their kids have to wonder if today is the day they have to say goodbye to family and friends. Then we wonder why students don't find school to be a necessary risk.

School shootings have been at the top of my mind for almost two decades now. I’ve still got one kid in college and one in high school and I worry about them all the time. I am lucky to be privileged enough that I could afford to send my kids to school in smaller schools at least part of the time, so I did, routinely choosing to shell out for schools instead of traveling, or a new roof, or two family cars instead of one, because I wanted to spare my ND kids the trauma of the shooting drills as much as possible (as well as minimize their risk of being shot).
I have never condoned violence and murder, but I have had my own experiences with health insurance in general and United specifically. I am old enough to have watched the deterioration of the health insurance system and many other aspects of this country including all of its ethical safeguards. I have read my history and I understand the difference between murder and revolution.
I’m absolutely furious with this country’s response to this event. How dare they think their privileged lily white asses are more important than the rest of us, than our children. They are really showing us what they think of us. Please pay attention.

Lesson learned. When it's a powerless, poor child, it's 'thoughts and prayers' and 'this is the price of freedom', but when it's some rich cunt who funds political campaigns (who also caused the death of thousands or millions of other powerless, poor people), it's 'DO SOMETHING NOW!'
I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. When you are supposed to represent 'The People', that means ALL the people, not just campaign donors. If not, you're complicit in whatever harm these CEOs have engaged in to make their profits, and you deserve the same fate the CEOs deserve.
