Joined by educators, parents, and gun control advocates, thousands of Georgia students on Friday staged a classroom walkout organized by the youth-led March for Our Lives "to demand a future free from gun violence" following the September 4 mass shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, the deadliest such event in the state's history.

Gun manufacturers (and their stakeholders) seeing education rates plummeting and kids refusing to go to school because of gun violence: "Well this is just great business!"

Anyone noticing we'll be begging for violent authoritarian cops to patrol the streets if we end up with a bunch of uneducated young folks with zero opportunities? We'll be begging to be accepted into a gated community

Idk, that's my personal fear, I guess. Someone please tell me I've missed something

Edit: I'll add, go kids! We can't just accept it either
