    The ONLY ONLY ONLY way for this to have been Prevented was if SHE Killed the Gunman FIRST! And the ONLY ONLY ONLY way for HIM to prevent his own death was if he killed HER FIRST! So as a Pro Life Save The Children Republican I see NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER with this!

    Why do they have a statement from the investment firms’s pr department? What does that add to the story? Wgaf what their thoughts are on the matter? It’s really strange.

    Alderwood Mall? That’s the nicer one! If it were the Everett Mall, I’d be unsurprised, but Alderwood? That’s wild.

      You mix teenagers and guns and it doesn’t really matter how nice the mall is.

      As the parent of a teenager, I know exactly how moody they can get and how quickly their moods can change from happy to “I will fucking kill a motherfucker.” I wouldn’t give a teenager a gun in a million years.

      What’s crazy is someone saying “It’s somewhere you’d bring a baby to without a second thought” about a fucking shopping mall

        I’m not going to argue with you - living as we are car-free now in a walkable city it’s unthinkable for me. But when I was in America, with a car and a baby, it made perfect sense. There were fewer viable third spaces (aside from parks, which is harder for an infant on a rainy day), and just about every viable third space (where we were) was built around car infrastructure.

        All that to say you’re not quite wrong, but there’s nuance and the solutions are necessarily political.

          I think they meant it’s sad we’re question the safety at all? Vs picking on you for going to a mall

          I’m only from big cities. I love malls and parking lots as much as woods and mountains.

              What was crazy? Wanting to escape civilization, and wanting to be a basic bitch, without mutual exclusivity?

                  Hehehe I hear you. Took drivers ed in Manhattan and 30 years of 3 to 4 hrs of public transit. Honda at a mall is like rolling coal for me and I’m relishing it lol

                  Edit: TBH as much as I’m being cute, malls don’t make me hate my life as much now that they’re empty
