Valentine’s Day Massacre After a horrible Valentine’s Day shooting in Florida that has left at least 17 dead, I mull over the discussion around guns, mental health, and the contrast in messaging that occurs depending on who the shooter is. Transcript (Unedited) So, over one is Tyler bride in here on a Saturday, afternoon February 17th, 2018, at innovation works. I did a little bit of stuff this morning, but one to pop into the office here this afternoon and just sort of continue this habit of re-taking some time to myself and putting some content out there and trying to address some things that I’m thinking about. And I think really realistically the world in general. And it was a big week it was a big week with what happened in the world, and one of the main things that people are talking about and rightly so, is what’s happened down in Florida, here. And obviously, if you if you didn’t see it, it was another mass shooting. There’s been a lot of them lately, and a lot over the last seemingly five years. I just keep cropping and popping up every… every several weeks here. And so I was really interesting about this instance, in particular, is just how much the conversation has been about mental health and mental illness, and I think that’s a really important thing, but I think that’s also a stark contrast when we see someone who is an immigrant isn’t dark or part of her religion that is an inherent in our country and not really an extremist. And I think it’s really interesting to see the play of when it’s sort of a normal American person who are someone consider a normal American person commits a crime like this that the conversation is a lot different than you know, if it is an immigrant or if it’s someone who has been radicalized by radicalized by Islam, and just to see the discourse of it, the reaction from both sides. And I think, I think that’s saying that both sides, I think is one of the big problems that we’re facing is that we’ve made this a very binary system and the world that we’re living in. And so, of course, you’ve got the right side. Who they wanna keep their guns, they wanna have guns, they think people are trying to take their guns away and they want for protection, they want it for safety and they wanna be okay if, if something happens, something breaks down that they know that they still got to the fence. And I think that makes a lot of sense, I think we’re living in a pretty volatile world and it seems to continue to be that way. And so for me, I get that, I get that understanding, that you want to be able to protect yourself, especially when it seems like maybe the people who are supposed to rotating you or the people who are… have a little bit more control in the world aren’t really doing a good job of that. So I see, I really do see that side. I consider myself very independent of obviously, I’m first of all I’m not American, Cain but I see myself very independent of these two very binary systems we see in of course the other side we here are people who don’t think people should have guns. And this is me trying to put it in that binary place. They don’t wanna have guns. I think guns are dangerous, if you have guns. The risk for something happening, like what happens in Florida goes up. And of course I agree with all of that side as well, too. It makes perfect sense statistically you look, you have a bunch of Damon. There’s probably gonna be a bunch more shootings, and we’ve seen that just it’s not a debated thing any more. Statistically, if yo
