this bit popped out from the story for me:

“I heard a gunshot,” said Makai Dixon, 8, a second grader who had been training for this moment, with active shooter drills and lockdowns, since he was in kindergarten. “I’d never heard it before.”

I respect them walking out a hijacked vigil and gawd Michael Bennet is a horrible speaker. What is he thinking running for President?

I was, however, stunned to hear (local radio played a clip from it) how clear and unified the chant of "mental health" was. The conservative side of the aisle has done a great job of labeling gun violence as a mental health problem.

I guess they don't have mental health problems in Japan or the UK.

"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society. It is well known that the rate of clinical depression has been greatly increasing in recent decades. We believe that this is due to disruption of the power process. But even if we are wrong, the increasing rate of depression is certainly the result of SOME conditions that exist in today's society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable. (Yes, we know that depression is often of purely genetic origin. We are referring here to those cases in which environment plays the predominant role.)"
