        To be fair, most of them are mentally ill. Not saying they're not stupid as a rock, but their mental instabiltiy is pretty apparent should you have to talk with any of them.

    While we continue to post about it, do keep in mind that a comrade who posts here is a survivor of this shooting

    Of course it's at fucking Mayfair

    So, fun story: Back when I lived in Milwaukee, Mayfair was the only mall that had an affordable, easy to access movie theater for a lot of people (there were like five bus routes that had stops at or near Mayfair).

    One summer, a fight broke out between some teenagers and the mall cops were totally unprepared to handle anything more than shoplifting, so the cops got called in and it became a huge fucking deal.

    So Mayfair passed a policy that you couldn't go there if you were under 18 and didn't have parents with you.

    Of course, this affected us black and brown kids disproportionately, with the fucking mall cops carding me until I moved out of state in my mid twenties.

    My friends who were noticeably darker in complexion had the cops called on them for even being near Mayfair.

    Isn't it funny how being racist as shit doesn't actually make things better for anyone?

    Remember when Columbine happened and it was a huge thing because shootings like that were rare? How fucked up is it that they happen so often now that people are just like "oh, another one."

    Literally just yesterday I was thinking about how I hadn't heard about a mass shooting in a while...
