When I was a Child

Recommended by

  • John Busser: When I was a Child

    Oof, that was tough to think about. Lindsay Partain pens a particularly rough thing to think about, an active shooter around kids, and couches it in an even more horrific scenario; a children's game. It's horrific because kids are being trained to think about this, have to be subjected to this, and have become accepting in their reaction. This is the new norm. A lot to think about in a one minute play.

    It's kind of amazing to think about the games we have our children playing. Could anything be more horrific?

    This one minute was a complete punch to the gut. Brilliant commentary on how children play in a world where protecting the rights of gun owners is more important than protecting their lives.
