So, America has had its 18th school shooting this year, and it happened to be in the next town over and a previous place of residence for me. Marjorie Stoneman Douglass in Parkland, Florida.

For those who don’t know, Parkland is one of the most affluent cities in Broward County. It was recently listed as the safest city in Florida and it is mostly populated by affluent white people.

So why is this school shooting being covered and not the other 17 schools in America? Why did the President of the United States speak personally to the Broward County Sheriff’s Department and promise that he’d provide everything he could for the school?

It’s not even March and guns have somehow managed to leave a mark on 18 schools?

The president has said nothing about these schools or addressed the matter of school shootings before this, but he talked to the police?

It took him minutes to tweet about the shooting, before the death tolls. I understand that this was a big school shooting, but if there are 18 before it, there should’ve been something put in place after the second shooting this year.

Where was our “president” 17 shootings ago?

I don’t believe Donald Trump has the mental capacity to deal with the tragedies that he continues to let pass him in office. Mike Pence is at the Winter Olympics spectating like he usually does.

This is the fourth biggest school shooting in the United States and the ninth biggest in the world, by death toll.

So, it had to be one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Florida, with majority white people, for the president to comment?

I guess gun control isn’t necessary, because if 18 schools have to get shot up to get the president’s attention, then we need someone else in office.

There are people who defend this man in office with all their heart, but when things come up about our “POTUS” they blame others.
