I Live In America

I feel like Americans have become numb to shootings now because of how often they occur here. Another shooting happened in Fort Lauderdale.

I hope the number of victims is minimal, and I wish a speedy recovery for the injured. 💞

As a mom of 2, I have not become immune to it at all!😁

I didn't say immune. I don't think it's possible to be immune to shootings.

@Killers: oh sorry--numb. Desensitized. Whatever you want to call it--I am not it. It weighs heavy on my mind and gives me anxiety all the time and when another time happens it makes it worse.😥

@Bean17: Yeah, it hurts me too, but it's weird how quickly many of us get over it.

@Killers: they're probably not parents.

@Bean17: Nope, parents, teachers, students, all types of people are numbed to this stuff.

Well not this parent.

@Bean17: Well that's just awesome! You're one of the few people I've met who isn't a mindless sheep about these kinds of tragedies.
