It's gonna get "better". Just wait.

From 1999:


I know it technically happened already, once. But now that it's on the table and established as an option, there will be copycats, just as there are in school shootings.

Part of the reason mass shootings are "mass" is because of the attention that goes with it - keeping in mind these people are more than willing to settle for the absolute worst kind of attention, so long as attention is being paid to them. Otherwise, if they were that unhappy they'd just kill themselves. Anyways. Best way to get attention? Kill lots of people at once. Best way to kill lots of people at once? Attack when everyone's vulnerable and not expecting it. Best places to do that? Places where "You'd have to be CRAZY to even THINK of doing that!" Like schools. And churches.

Now that it's been established, it's going to happen more often. Geez, remember when it was "just" the postal workers, and everyone was so easily able to laugh it off like it WASN'T horrifying? Wasn't even that long ago.

...You can tell, I just have buckets of faith in humanity. Barrels, even.
