Forgive me for not giving a ****. Maybe shit like this might wake up some of the sheep to realize that govt will not protect them and they have been regulating and restricting the wrong thing. Another shooting in a gun-free zone.......surprise.

The problem is that you cannot enlighten the unconscious and this won't be a wake up call for the bigots who run much of the California government, instead they will try to use it to market against the people they hate.
That said right now you are helping them to market. No one deserves to die, especially just trying to do his job. Yes the TSA may be functionally useless to prevent incidents and likely violates many of the principles this country stands for, BUT there are much bigger fish to fry, they are a small issue in comparison.
Being insensitive reflects poorly on everyone else associated with what you would like to support and helps the bigots market to those in the middle that all are out on the extreme. Sometimes the best strategy is to say nothing, even if you feel the way you do.
No loss of life should be used as marketing to push any agenda either pro or con.
