WLB are: guitarist Chris Cochrane, Faith No More singer Mike Patton (who doubles here on drums), guitarist, keyboardist and drummer Trey Spruance and percussionist William Winant. Zorn himself plays alto and samplers.The group improvise soundscapes to accompany Dennis Cooper and Casey McKinney's deviant little stories which are reproduced alongside Nayland Blake's illustrations in the 46 page which comes with this lavish package (itself designed by longtime Zorn-associate - as designer and musician - Ikue Mori). The music is appropriately schizoid, with arcs of piercing electronics and stabbing percussion slashing their way through bursts of warped surf guitar, recalling at once Naked City's genre-busting tendencies and Zorn's more nightmarish take on ambient (Leng T'Che, Absinthe, elements of Kristallnacht).

I like ads that have subtle flashes of brilliance like that. All the more effective because, seeing it for the first time on TV, you probably don't necessarily know what to look for, so, this could be an ad for anything, for it to then hit you with that shock at the end. Whereas looking at it first on YouTube, even knowing what to expect it can catch you off guard.

@georgamarie7187

You feel angry. Then you start talking about that with your neighbors. Then you and your neighbors start going to school board meetings... and ask LOTS of questions about school safety and mental health. Sometimes things are so obvious, and so clear, that we miss them. Question everything and get to know the people in your community- better. It starts with feeling it though. And the feeling here is... anger.

When i was a kid my parents taught me to try to make friends with everyone in school no matter how odd or weird they were because you never know how someone is until you get to know them. It lead me to make friends with all sorts of kids. One i particularly came to know was a chap a lot like evan. Cheery, outspoken. A real clean cut kid. But as i got to know him i started to notice why always wore long sleeves. The self harm scars, the dried blood in his nose. The puffy eyes early in the morning. It came as a surprise to all of us that he was the one that got stopped by school security near graduation with a bag full of knives a gun and a homemade pipe bomb. I guess even a nice guy like him had his demons. Im grateful then that my school didnt discriminate back then and was observant of every student. Its not always gonna be the gloomy quiet kid being picked on in plain sight.

Also while "be kind to others" is a good message for everyone, it seems unfair to expect the students who are literal children and don't have the life experience or emotional maturity that they should be expected to recognize that, but also over simplifies things as it has been more or less proven that it isn't as simple as "school shooters were bullied, be nice to people and they won't shoot others". A lot of school shooters are the bullies.

I'm currently in disbelief. We are in a world, no a country in which children are expected to look for and prevent gun violence because the adults won't do enough. They won't fix bullying or prevent children from getting guns, so children have to live in fear or dye. Sometimes both. I mean it's been this way for quite some time, but that doesn't mean it doesn't shock me, how messed up that all is :(

@matthewjohnson6280

2y↑164

The vast majority of students in America do not have to worry about this; this problem (it is a problem, I agree) is blown out of proportion by the media and youth that want to have something to feel interesting. I sympathize with the students that have had to deal with this in the past, though. I'm not callous, but it's not a simple problem to fix. Children can't purchase guns, and most people would like to think that they've raised their kids well enough to not shoot up a school. Mental illness is the major problem with this though, and this problem is largely ignored because of social stigmas associated with it.

@AhmedMahmoud-fb1ug

This is not what the video is trying to say, the point is that when we see signs of someone who is troubled we should report it, because you never now what can happen. That doesn't mean that every shooting that ever happened could have been avoided if students acted differently, but it's saying that in the future, if we see any warning signs, telling someone could potentially stop something like this from happening. There's always more than one cause to something like this and the video is just showing one of them

Back in high school, a few years back: someone once found a plastic bag in the hallway of our school, there was a few gun cases and a piece of paper with a vague threat. It was immediately brought to the principal and EVERYTHING was shut down AT ONCE. Students were ushered into classrooms, under the desks, teachers counted us as we went, we were scared to death. Lights out, curtains shut, doors and windows locked. And then.. nothing. Stayed there untill a guard pounded on the door with our gym teacher and told us to continue our day, everything was ok. Never found out what exactly the threat said, but a few days after that incident cops showed up in every classroom to explain that everything was gonna be ok and that they would keep an eye on our school for a while. Nothing actually happened after that, it may have even been a sick joke. I live in the Nordic countries, and in an area where threats of this scale are really really rare.

Bullying is honestly the worst. Teachers and principals need to do more about it. When I was in high school, I sat alone at lunch. Not because I didn't have any friends, but because I preferred to be alone. Getting picked on relentlessly withdrawals you from wanting to interact with others. I used to find comfort in writing stories. Sadly, this had an negative impact as my peers thought I was writing a hit list. The principals had me come to their office and found my stories. They ultimately found no link to the claims and even said I had talent as a writer. I have a hard time with people, being on the autistic spectrum. It has affected the way I communicate with people, which caused others to make fun of something they didn't understand. But I would never resort to the action that the young man in this PSA would. I had a great upbringing, knowing that God and my family loved me. Not everyone has that. My heart goes out to all the lost ones. May they find the light at the end of their dark road

@joy2955

Your experience in school sounds a lot like mine. I also found comfort in writing. That being said, I was never suspected of being a potential school shooter. If I was male, I probably would have been suspected though. Sadly.

It’s probably our massive shift in culture. We have had more or less the same gun laws in the 60’s and they have only gotten tighter since yet mass shootings haven’t become a problem till recently

I’m talking since public schools became a thing. In the 60’s kids were allowed to bring rifles to school and had shooting clubs and rifle ranges. In the meantime 80’s civilians were able to own full auto machine guns. And yet no mass shootings during those times. Only thing that changed was our society and culture

@koderamerikaner5147

We (US citizens) overpay the FBI and refuse to hire cops if they aren't corrupt and are fine with the risks of being police. Most criminals, gangs, and cartels have illegal guns which the ATF or police ironically gave them "to expand their undercover operations" and/or "set them up" (then say they couldn't of possibly known the criminals would get away with the weapon caches). However, god forbid some civilian tries to be a vigilante; They'll crack down on everyone who uses a gun or knife for self defence or tries protecting their neighborhood. If someone robs you, your house, your business, or tries killing you, and you hurt them in self defence, they can sue you and/or get you sent to prison. It's way too easy for criminals and the mentally ill to get guns. The Columbine shooters had improvised explosives and had guns that were federally (all states in the union) banned 5 years before the shooting (tec-9).

@@derek96720 See, it's often impossible to spot a rapist before it's too late.

This is a kind of mistake the human brain has, for short “it’s easy to miss things you’re not looking for.” And seeing as every kid shouldn’t have to be paranoid all the time it’s so easy to miss. This is why it’s so important that if you DO catch a sign, to tell to a teacher or a safe adult because you might have been the only one that saw, even by accident. Don’t worry about thinking you might be wrong and get the person in trouble for no reason. It’s better to be safe than sorry

We can’t stop what happened, only what will happen if nothing’s done. Everyone needs to be there for each other. School faculty need to step in and stand up for others. Parents need to be more compassionate and understanding. There needs to be more support groups for both the bullies and the bullied. In no way is it Evan’s fault for what happened to him. He’s just a student.

Also, he could just be a boy that likes guns who is also bullied. That’s normal for a lot of people. Unfortunately, what is also normal is adults who dismiss children and that’s why this unforgivable crime happens.
