@PussyFootingAround Thank you for this insight! Domestic abuse. Mass shooters. I'm compelled to recognize a common denominator.
We, as a nation, are being perpetually victimized and traumatized by every event. Then we are told to quickly mourn and do it all over again.
Classic cycle of violence
@duaneaubin
Much like the cycle of abuse.
I like to call the Thoughts and Prayers phase the Calm phase when we make excuses for the abuser.
The refractory period for when another shooting follows the calm gets shorter and shorter every week.
