I haven't read through this thread but I saw just a blurb on tv that said up to 50 dead and 52 more injured. I immediately turned off the tv and will stay off my favorite news outlets and Facebook until this drops out of the news cycle.
The aftermath is SO predictable - #prayersforthevictims or some cute rhyming hashtag - as if that will help anything.
People will insist on not uttering the name of or talking about the perpetrator - as if that will help anything.
We'll undoubtedly learn that the killer bought his entire arsenal legally.
And the NRA and their friends will arrogantly stay silent about the whole thing as they believe any debate about gun control is over and the matter doesn't bear discussion.
On the plus side, I'll get caught up on a few novels I'm reading by staying off the news and social media.
