Clackamas TC was my "home mall" growing up in SE Portland. And on top of that, I was a witness to a stabbing during a fight at my Middle School (1993) and then a shooting in the cafeteria my Freshman year at Marshall High (1995) fortunately nobody was critically injured. So being I have been in that situation before, and then having it happen at a place that was a big part of my life growing up really hit home for me.
And then it only took 3 days to have a situation that trumped Clackamas.
Not even in movies has anything been so horrifying as to take out a whole classroom of children. Dont think it can get any worse than that.
Then I turn on the news this morning, and hear of a murder-suicide at the Excalibur in Vegas.
This is becoming a daily thing. I almost dont want to leave the house anymore.
