Also double fuck that Jess Arnold for her dogwhistle "This is what kids in DC face daily". Forgot that unprovoked mass shootings at public gatherings are a Black Crime thing.
Pro-tip for people who want to talk about gun crime, don't make a big deal about the municipality it happened in unless the specifics of the case are specific to that area.

I feel like I've been asking people who keep saying Covid is fine for kids "What about that Kawasaki Syndrome shit that was all over the news until about April 2020 where 5 year old kids would have goddamn heart attacks?" and getting not response for so long I'm half convinced I'm dead and in a Sixth Sense Scenario.

"This is just an example of an unbearably tragic but almost statistically insignificant event that you hear about occasinally simply BECAUSE it's so tragic it's automatically news and but rare the news can cover every case without leading to exhaustion"
