we gotta be extra careful, we gotta act normal, in the land of ultraviolence, we gotta stay calm and vigilant. i've been out here when there was an active shooter a couple times and everyone was walking around as if nothing was happening, nothing out of the ordinary, and though i felt like it was a dream i kept minding the dog, my feet on the ground, my senses keen. that's the only way to be, in the home of the brave, in land of the free.
