Because the human race is a goddamned disease, and we've gone past the point where there are more cancerous ones than normal ones.
Yup. Good luck...

Ive had to deal with disgruntled employees before. We had a situation last year that we thought may get out of hand. I cant imagine an actual threat like that.

I also work in social services. Needless to say the reactions of your coworkers do not surprise me. Gun violence, for them, is something to mention between sips of coffee. Nothing more.

A buncha bleedin' heart church ladies that can't see life beyond the tip of their nose.

Some of my regulars have noticed why I've been looking at the hallways more than I used to. I wanna know what the fuck is going on in the mall in case some moron starts something here. My store is nearby the mall's exits, so the chances of shit happening could start beside me.

I'm nervous everywhere I go nowadays.
I was standing in the Pharmacy line @ Wal-Suck a ouple of weeks ago, and nearly jumped down on the ground when a store display came down & made a loud "boom".
I never would have thought we'd have that kinda shit in my small town, but in '97 there was a school shooting @ my old High School. (The Heath Shooting) . That's when I realized that that sort of thing happens everywhere. Scary shit brahs.
