Front page of The Daily Tar Heel – independent student newspaper for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – for Wednesday August 30, 2023 is a collection of text messages sent and received by students on Monday during an active shooter school lockdown. A faculty member was killed by a student with a gun. Our son was in lock down for three hours in a building near Caudill Laboratory where the shooting took place. Professor Dr. Zijie Yan was killed; he is survived by his wife, a professor at NC State, and their two daughters, ages 2 and 7. All Chapel Hill-Carrboro area primary schools also went on lock down procedures for many hours and school release was delayed – it was the first day of school for these students, kindergarten through twelfth grade. It was the start of the second week of classes for the Tar Heels.
It was the sixth school shooting in the United States of America this month alone. When is enough?

I don't think this means what they think it means.

How we've trained our kids - to not protest peacefully
My son (18) asked me what I thought about the video of protestors barricading themselves in a building and then hitting a cop on the head with a large water jug.
I told him that was not a peaceful protest and that what I was taught when I first became an activist is to never resist arrest. Then I told him what my dad told me. Don't ever hang out with people who throw rocks at men with guns. Throwing rocks at men with guns isn't a smart thing to do.
My son stared at me.
Then he said - you know my entire life I've been taught to rush at men with guns and throw things at them and hit them and do whatever you need to do to get the gun away from them. And if you die doing this - at least you may save some of your classmates and friends in the process and die a hero.
WTF!!!!!
This is what he has been taught in every active shooter drill , which is twice a year for the entire time he's been in school. All because instead of keeping guns away from nut cases, we've taught kindergartners and up that if you can't hide from a man with a gun you should rush the gunman and hit them with whatever you have handy.
Cops - in case you were not aware - are men with guns. A man with a gun is a man with a gun, even if they are cops. If they are threatening you - this is what they have been taught to do. And it's the cops who taught them to do this!!!!
These protestors are doing EXACTLY what we've taught young people to do for decades now. If someone with a gun approaches, barricade the door and if they try to enter - hurl things at them - just - mob them as a group and get the gun away from them.
This is insane. This is what conservatives have turned our country into. Every single effing conservative who is complaining about the protests, if you didn't want young people to act this way - you should not have insisted we teach them this heroic fantasies about rushing gunmen like it's some sort of action movie. It would have been safer for everyone - if we just regulated guns!!!!!
For everyone else, be aware, our kids will respond instinctively to a man with a gun - even a cop - exactly as they've been trained to.

THIS IS CURRENT, BREAKING NEWS
Residents and students in East Lansing are urged to shelter in place Monday night following two shootings at Michigan State University.
According to school officials, shots were fired near Berkey Hall on East Lansing Campus just after 8:15 p.m. A second shooting was reported at IM East.
Community members, both on and off campus, are advised to shelter in place immediately.
“Run, Hide, Fight. Run means evacuate away from danger if you can do so safely, hide means to secure-in-place, and fight means to protect yourself if no other option,” the school wrote in an alert.

At 15, heard of Eric and Dylan and Columbine, and understood how they could have done it.
At 19, rediscovered Eric and Dylan and Columbine through Marilyn Manson. Quickly got into their journals and Jeff-Co's Files.
I began to research other school shooters, becoming obsessed with Kip Kinkel, which led me to writing in-depth fantasies of joining Kip, and Eric and Dylan, in their shootings.
At some stage, spurred on after discovering the Natural Born Killers movie, fantasy crossed over to reality: I dreamed of finding the right guy so that we could do our own shooting. I poured out all my thoughts and emotions into writing.
I actually, unknowingly, came close - on MySpace I befriended Pekka Eric Auvinen, who in 2007 went on to do his own shooting. We spoke about our interests in guns/shootings but never that we each wanted to go through with it.
I also began correspondence with Kip Kinkel, who was my favourite shooter and my biggest crush.
My obsession and dream went on until age 30, when I started thinking about repenting/coming to Christ, Knowing I was going to have to let go of all my shooting obsession and dreams and everything that went along with it.
But I choose to repent, and Jesus immediately, miraculously, healed me of every obsession and dream to do with shootings and shooters. He took away my hatred and homicidal thoughts of people.
I deleted everything related off my computer, threw away all my writings, documents, photos, even all my correspondence with Kip.
The point of me writing this is that I want anyone thinking of doing a shooting, to NOT do so. To know that change is possible, you need only accept Jesus.
Some will be miraculously healed like me, others will need to work through things with Jesus in healing and deliverance prayers and Christian counselling.
Every time I see a shooting, like yesterday with Maine, I'm reminded that it was worth coming to Jesus and be freed of the darkness filled me,
And also how much I want to help people know that change in Christ IS possible.

Speechless
It’s happening again;
it’s been less than three weeks.
I don’t know how to feel;
I don’t know what to think.
I can hear the sirens;
I can hear my heart.
It feels like an earthquake.
I think I’ll shake apart.
A man just pulled a gun
in our place of learning.
I see it, so I run.
Frankly, it’s concerning.
I just want to go home;
I want to see my mom,
but they are far away.
I need to remain calm.
