"The first few hours after the fight I kept thinking, over and over, what could I have done to get a different outcome. My first thought was… “I should have kept hitting him when he was injured, I’m a fool, I stopped attacking"

I'm surprised "Why didn't I just keep walking?" wasn't first on that list.

Me neither! One time my cousin had a hot chocolate in college and told me how she had to run to the bathroom during an exam because of it and all of a sudden my middle school years suddenly clicked. I didn't realize I was drinking the devil's mix all that time haha

They were too busy literally subduing the parents trying to do that. I still can't believe a woman had to sneak past the police to get into the building to save her own children. Pretty fucking telling that the police weren't doing their jobs in both saving the kids OR keeping the building secure from a possible second shooter considering a parent got past them. They're failures in every single aspect of the word.

Add in the fact that some of the police got their own children out of there before standing around outside like useless little fucking gremlins drinking water bottles and checking Twitter for hours adds even more salt to the wound.

On the flip side I luckily had a good professor and he encouraged his students to buy older used versions of the textbooks required for class, even going as far to bring out the old and new textbooks and flip through them to show us that they literally had the same material, just that the "updated" more expensive version had the same chapters put on different pages. Had a lot of respect for him.
