It shouldn't happen. It doesn't happen. Not here.
This one is for my foreign followers. If it is relevant to you or yours, I'm sure you've already heard. If it isn't, I want you to hear about it anyway.
CW/TW: mass shooting, endangerment of students, death.
On Thursday the 21st, there was an active shooter at the faculty of arts of the Charles University in Prague, Czech republic. My university. My faculty. He killed 12 students, two teachers and himself and wounded 25 more. Some of them are still in critical condition.
It was the first ever school shooting in out country and the worst ever mass shooting.
Me and mine are safe. Everyone I know either wasn't there that day or was evacuated. Others were not so lucky. We do not know the names of all the victims yet as they haven't all been offiicially shared. But we do know 6 of them. The two teachers and four girls, all freshmen, all barely out of their teens if at all.
It's horrible. Nobody knows what to do, how to feel. I haven't slept more than a couple hours since.
It can happen anywhere. It will happen anywhere. But specifically to my american followers I want to say this: I promise you this does not mean that regulations don't work. It means the exact opposite. Again, this is the worst it gets here if a shooting even happens. 15 dead is still too many. But it is one incident in decades. One. Prevail. Oppose lax ownership laws. It makes a difference.
If you are willing and able, please consider donating to the fund for the survivors and families of the victims.
Stay safe. I love you.
