“On April 20, 2018, school children around the country in public and private schools will be signed out and walk out at 11:00 am Colorado time, and march to mayors’ offices, governors’ offices, the White House, local NRA offices, Mar-a-Lago, campaign offices, etc. Enough is enough. And saying “enough is enough” is getting old. Not one more student should die by gun violence."

This shooter was reported to the FBI 6 weeks before the shooting in a very detailed and long phone call to the FBI tip line. And the FBI did nothing.
That's because it's sexier and more exciting to respond to a shooting than to quietly bring someone in.

I've been following the same... But sad to say nothing much surprises me anymore. HIPAA (medical records are protected). So how do you know if someone is a nut job or not?

And since everyone has their "rights" no one can be committed until they do something heinous.

This whole thing is just a bit surreal for me. When I scroll through my FB newsfeed, it's all over there, the memes, the things people say and think and I keep thinking "What on earth is wrong with people?!? WHY do we have this happening? What went wrong with humans?" :hu It's terrible...

Just last week I did a search on my work computer. When I got home and got on my laptop - guess what ads were scrolling? I thought that was pretty freaky!

We're you logged in to Gmail? Yeah, I hate being watched by technology!

No. While I have a gmail account - I rarely use it. I'm old school and still use Yahoo mail and I NEVER stay logged in. My work email is always open at work, but we have really strong filters there. However, there's a connection in there somewhere... pretty sure about that. :hu

Hmm...I refused to set up the new phone with the gmail account, or any other. When I found out that you can NEVER close any account on your phone....no way.
