Genuinely came to this comment section worried about my friends who were there, seeing if I could find anything, I don’t know what I expected from this comment section buy this app needs to do something about this.
What the heck is going on. A mass shooting in TX and Ohio. This is exactly why I do not like large crowds and it is really sad that we have to worry about this kind of stuff.
@thpken03 Muslim sleeper cells. This is just the start
The racism and political trolling in this chat are horrifying. Can we all focus on the victims only please? May they rest in peace and deepest condolences to their loved ones 💔 May those in hospital have a full and swift recovery 🙏
