medjuck Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 is it considered "political" to point out that the daughter of this board's founder is attending Michigan State where there was recently a shooting? She and her roommates are now safe at Jim's but shouldn't we be offering support to him after what was a terrible experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Not political at all. Full support offered here. Glad to hear that all are well at this time. Thoughts and prayers\"prayers" for all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 It was a real life drama to follow his posts on Facebook. I was so relieved to read she was safe. Those gun fanatics are madmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Modal Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Glad they're OK. This American phenomenon must seem so weird and grotesque to other parts of the world. Meanwhile its a way of life here with some real trauma to victims families and survivors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Glad she’s okay. I have to say that to me, as a high school teacher, it’s just unimaginable that there are security gates at my work place. I’m happy you can smoke some weed here but can’t wear a gun. I am pretty sure the last one kills more. Maybe I did make it political now. Sorry if I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I have. 2020 US traffic deaths: 38,680 2020 US gun deaths: 45,222 And this was 2020, when less people were driving on the roads due to the COVID pandemic. It's not political to say that guns are a problem. It's political when you talk about how to solve that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Absolutely. And it's a shame it is divisively so political. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 Jim, I'm happy to hear that your daughter is OK. I hope that none of the victims were her friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, gun deaths, auto deaths, overdose deaths (80,000 in 2021) and suicides (45,799 in 2020) are huge problems receiving way too little concern. So thankful Jim's daughter is OK, and pray that trauma for her and others will not be long-lasting.
