Students at Northwestern University[1] are being encouraged to watch a graphic training video that shows a gunman attacking the Evanston campus, shooting two people and stalking others who have barricaded themselves in a classroom.
University officials produced the video to help prepare students, faculty and other staff for an active shooter situation, offering a three-step response plan: Run. If you can’t run, hide. If you can’t hide, fight.
Now I know some squishy liberal types out there are thinking, “Why should college students have to watch an intense video that will scare the bejesus out of them? What has this country come to?”
To which I say, “CRAM IT, COMMIE! This is America, and if there’s one thing we believe in here it’s that mass shootings on college campuses or in bars or at concerts or in synagogues or churches or nightclubs are just a thing we have to deal with. So quit your whining!”
Mass shootings are par for the course here in the land of liberty. A total of 23 people were murdered in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting on Oct. 27 and the Thousand Oaks bar shooting on Nov. 7, including a man who had survived a mass shooting at a country music concert in Las Vegas last year.
But as of this week, you don’t hear people talking too much about those shootings. Like I said, they’re par for the course.
Talking about stricter gun laws or bans on certain weapons is just un-American, and also it’s too soon to talk about that, and by the time it’s not too soon there will be another mass shooting, which will reset the Too Soon Clock which never moves from Too Soon.
There are only three things we can do that don’t
