... I mean, Brown University, one of the safest colleges in the country, and still something like this happens? It's crazy how quickly things can turn from a normal day to chaos 
. And to have that many people hurt is just devastating 
. The thing is, I think we need to have a conversation about school safety, but also about our gun laws 
... I mean, it's not like these shootings are going to magically stop because we say so 
. We need real change and we need it now 
.
. I mean, come on! Our country's been telling us for years that we need stricter gun laws, but nothing ever seems to change. It's like our politicians are just playing a never-ending game of "let's wait and see" while innocent lives are lost in the process 
like what if we combined both approaches? 
maybe instead of just addressing one or the other, we could be talking about creating safer spaces for people to get help when they need it most 
and at the same time figuring out ways to prevent these mass shootings from happening in the first place 
... like, how can we even have a conversation about school safety when the bad guy is on the loose?
This school shooting in brown university left two student dead and one injured so badly... 
I'm thinking what if we can have more safe school. Gun laws need to change for sure! 
. Its times for us to come together and think about what we can do differently.
. I mean, come on, we live in a country with more guns than people... it's basically a fact that someone's gonna get hurt at some point. And you know what? It might just be the student who was trying to escape 
.
. Mental illness is a serious issue that requires serious support... not some watered-down Band-Aid solution like Cohen suggests 
just another day, another school shooting 
. Mental health is super important too, let's support each other and get help when we need it 
. Sending love and positive vibes to everyone affected by this tragedy 
. i'm trying to stay hopeful that they catch him soon, but at the same time, it makes me really sad for the families of those two students who lost their lives 
. i guess that's why ben cohen's words really stuck with me - we do need to take a hard look at our country's laws and provide support for those who are struggling 
.
. Remember when ice cream was just $1.50 a scoop at Ben & Jerry's back in the 90s?! 
Now, I'm not saying that's what's causing all this violence, but it does make me wonder if we've lost something along the way... like our innocence 
. Anyway, hope those students who were in the classroom with the shooter are doing okay
