It's back to school time, and the school shootings have already begun. Antoinette Tuff is a secretary at the front office of a government elementary school in Atlanta, Georgia. She wasn’t supposed to be working this past Tuesday, but was filling in for another Secretary at the school when 20-year-old Michael Hill entered with an AK-47 and 500 rounds.
Michael had missed a day of his government-approved psychiatric medication, a detail mysteriously missing from most major media accounts of the story. He told the secretary he had no reason to live and that nobody loved him. Michael is not unlike the millions of young people who are pumped full of psych drugs on a daily basis correct an imaginary imbalance which is really about forcing them to accept being raised by people and things other than their parents. The wounds he attempted to inflict with bullets won’t mend his broken heart and abused and traumatized and pharmaceticalized mind.
Good thing Antoinette was working that day, even though she didn’t have to be. Good thing she had recently been meditating about showing compassion to people in grief. Good thing she was strong enough to endure her own life’s struggles. Because she may well have saved the lives of more than 500 people this week by showing compassion to a hurting man.
A recording of the 911-call made by Antoinette has been published online. The following clip has been edited for time.
Notice the change in demeanor and volume when the police show up. Did they help or hurt this situation?

Penn State doctoral candidate John Beieler has created a time-lapse visualization of every protest on the planet since 1979. You’ll see tiny blips popping off here and there in the 1970s—a time people generally think of as highly politically charged—and nearly eclipsing the world starting with the late 90s anti-globalization protests and the second Iraq War up till our present moment. What does this trend tell *you*?
