Gun Violence in American Society: Crime, Justice and Public Policy | 
A text received from my brother this afternoon at his work place....a block away from my work place. Said fatality results in active shooting evacuation, employee fatality and police stand off. America, stay classy 😡🤬
Eggbeater This is awful. I'm sorry you and your brother went through this, and I'm glad he's okay. I'm sorry all of us are going through this unnecessary violence and fear. 🫂 3d
vivastory @Eggbeater Thank you. I will do a followup post when more is known, but from what I have heard it is quite dire with people doing the best with what they could. Needless to say I'm infinitely grateful my brother was not *physically* harmed, although I've let him know I'm there for him in any capacity in the future that he wants/needs. I know that right now he's still in shock which is totally understandable 3d
AmyG That is horrible. I am so sorry. What the hell has become of this country? 3d

Aims42 This is horrifying, I am so sorry. I‘m glad your brother wasn‘t physically harmed, but still scary 😢 3d
vivastory @AmyG @aims42 Thank you! He's been understandably very effected by this. I still feel a bit nauseous by the idea he could have been negatively affected, as not only is he my sole remaining immediate family but one of my best friends. 3d
Aims42 @vivastory Your reaction is totally valid and understandable. Be sure to give him an extra tight hug the next time you see him, if he‘s a huggy guy 🫂♥️ 3d

AnnCrystal This is horrifying for both your brother and for you. Glad he was not physically harmed, but true...the mental impact is not always understood. It is good that you are willing to be there as he heals emotionally. May you both be safe out there in this crazy world 😢🫂💫. 2d
