Mass shooting events happen so often in so many parts of America, people are terrified they'll be in the next one every time they go out in public.
Some people are sharing the ways they plan out their routes and behavior so they’ll know how best to escape if they do hear gunshots.
Every Sunday I have a spot I HAVE to sit at in church. I’m insistent on it because it’s my best route to exits Incase someone comes in and opens fire. Ive tried to convince myself to stop doing this. 2 mass shootings in 24 hrs. What a nightmare we are living in.
My husband was so worried that I was calculating exit strategies whenever I entered public buildings that he asked me to go to therapy. The therapist told me, "oh honey, you're fine. You're being proactive and aware. That's how it has to be now."I was at a music festival this weekend, and when I planned out the outfits I wanted to wear, I didn’t choose things that were cute or good for the weather.
It’s just our reality now. It’s not like, after 251 mass shootings in the first eight months of this year, they’ll stop. The next one is coming. And any one of us could be in the place where it occurs. We all have to live with that fear. The worst part is that we actually don’t have to live like this. The U.S. has rates of gun violence that are— higher than any Middle Eastern country and higher than most Sub-Saharan African countries. We have the entire world as proof that gun control works, but our legislators and our people bury their heads in the sand and refuse to follow the example that all other developed nations on the planet have set. These aren’t unavoidable tragedies.
