Not the actualization, just the endless discussion and preparation and "hardening” of their schools—not physically dangerous, but stressful and anxiety-inducing.

You should talk to the families of the kids who were killed and explain to them they are wrong and your internet tirade made their children alive and non-threatened. Thank you for your service or whatever.
