Recent Maryland shooting is being ignored by most outlets. Fox does cite it as a success since shooter was neutralized in a minute from on site resource officer instead of after mass casualty event. Gist being everything went wrong in Florida: social service orgs, local law enforcement called 39 times, resource officer cowardice, authorities response time, FBI ignored 2 warnings, school policy to NOT escalate repeated incidents, and apparently a great many students TOTALLY unsurprised about identity of shooter. Everything went right in Maryland. What gets reported and what doesn't ?? Somebody somewhere had system in place that worked (one fatality not counting shooter) and it's ignored. And coverage of Florida doesn't seem to emphasize all the attendant factors that facilitated high casualty rate.
Also in my opinion, coverage of potential mass PTSD in Florida in student and staff population is being ignored too. Some of those involved are going to have a very tough time in the future, and it's a further tragedy. Ones near the shooting, the ones who didn't speak up (not that would have mattered with school no escalation policy), the ones who start to feel survivors guilt, the ones who develop that later, ones with conflicting thoughts. It is another mass tragedy, and it's not getting much attention at all.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
