    hahaha this guy’s like “if you just shoot and injure 4 people but can’t definitively kill them, is that even a shooting?”

    good note on the school thing though. I’m totally going to a parent who lost their child playing soccer in school and telling them “well they weren’t inside the classroom; you didn’t expect them to be safe anywhere in school, didya?”
