Five People Died in the #KentuckyShooting. The Full Toll Is Much Higher.

A tally of #victims does not account for the true cost of these tragedies.

"Let’s count the family members, the friends, the people who ran for their lives or hid in a bank vault. Let’s count the police officers, first responders, and doctors who tend to bodies ripped apart by bullets. Let’s count the teachers, religious leaders, journalists, lawyers, jurors, and therapists who absorb these harrowing stories. Let’s count the brave souls who confront gunmen. Let’s add in the cost of subjecting schoolchildren to active-shooter drills and teaching office workers to “run, hide, fight.” Let’s think about the depression, anxiety, and #PTSD that can make it hard to leave the house."

“Humphrey said it was unclear whether the shooter killed himself or was shot by police. He said the investigation is ongoing, but there is "no active danger known to public at this time." 

Of course, there is still danger …There are too many guns out there!

So what pathology will be assigned to today’s shooter in Kentucky - hatred of gays, hatred of drag queens, hatred of Republicans, hatred of women…?
Not that it matters, really. The only thing that gives these sick people power is THE GUNS.
