Re: School shooting tw
(Anonymous) 2014-06-11 12:54 am (UTC)(link)My issue with these things is that people jump to conculsions to support certain idealogies before even most of the facts come out and make it a single issue thing, oversimplifing or flat out denying the other issues involved.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-11 01:04 am (UTC)(link)In any case, I'd much prefer for people to want to change something than for people to put their heads in the sand.

(Anonymous) 2014-06-11 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah. That about describes my reaction. They're showing a "documentary" on TV next week and it was called The Virgin Killer and I sort of went, 'Wait. What?'

Re: School shooting tw
I feel like the important thing is remembering that you're dealing with real people and be sensitive to their needs in addition to analyzing the situation in a sensible way that doesn't blindly support one ideology. People act like it's one or the other but I don't think it is.
Re: School shooting tw
(Anonymous) 2014-06-11 01:28 am (UTC)(link)I agree with you that people are jumping to labelling people talking about the issues that have led to mass shootings as "politicizing the issue". It's like, what, we're not allowed to have critical thought about tragedies, and discuss underlying issues towards preventing those tragedies happening again, because wanting to stop being killed in the future is somehow 'disrespectful' to the dead?
I honestly don't get it. But then, I think about it a bit more and I do get it - I think people label discussions surrounding these shootings as 'political' or 'ideological' mostly when they actually contradict their own ideology, and they don't want to have to reexamine their own beliefs at the some time as working out how to react to a tragedy.
