If some jackass shot up my high school I sure as hell wouldn't be showing up compliantly for math class. You can't learn jack sitting around terrified.

If a friend was wounded or killed before my very eyes at a place supposedly safe for us, no way in hell would I not be out there making my voice heard.

I may be an old fart now, but back then? No f'ing way would I not be taking action even it seemed futile to so called adults who aren't as hopping mad as I would have been.
