Shooting, middle school, sparks, Nevada, NEWS! First  we’ll be first, look—kids, news first, they probably saw it, stop, ask, stick microphone under mouth, must capture every word, what happened? Where you there? Who was it? Was he in any of your classes? What grade? Did you have him in class? Yeah, but do you know who it was? Did you see anything? What did you see  Details, Details. Details, Details, we must, come on—next, maybe he’ll, first, details, work harder!,  News

 

“Have you heard about the shooting at Sparks Middle School?”

“Yeah” “It doesn’t interest me. It doesn’t affect me. This type of thing happens all the time.”

 

“Oh god! Look at what the world has come to! Kids these days—so much violence! Their parents… MY parents taught me right! The world is scary! To think this type of thing could happen anywhere. It’s unthinkable, that something like this could easily happen to me?! I’m horrified! It just makes me feel so vulnerable! We’ve got to be more careful. I’m afraid, if this happened at a School! I…..I…..ME…MY…I. You know, I….

I.

 

 

 

Just another shooting.

Just another gun.

Just another school.

Just another evil, pathetic, monstrous mentally crazy kid, ugh, This generation…

Just another suicide—cowardly.

Just another foolish man trying to be the hero.

Just another savages’ neighborhood—ghetto.

Just another death.

Just another death.

Just another life.

Just another life.

Just more of them.

Those things.
