S4 E:2 The Violence/Gun Epidemic hits RI, again.

Send us Fan MailAnother mass shooting occurs in RI while our political system continues to dole out empty thoughts a prayers.  I intentionally did not use the name of the shooter in the podcast, because I believe in taking away the identity of people who engage in atrocities.  As a society we have made murder porn and crime shows our bread and butter.  This is part of the PTSD epidemic.  Since we recorded this episode the United States of Israel launched an attack on Iran.   Whether this is about cash, a distraction from the Epstein Files, or just out of the leadership sociopathy, this is unacceptable.  Please do whatever you can to help stop the spread of fascism. • local shooting details, personal proximity, and community impact• media focus on identity vs root causes of violence• limits of mental health access and high deductibles• importance of early trauma intervention and psychological first aid• practical training: Stop the Bleed, tourniquets, barricading• preparedness for leaders and communities, kit recommendations• advocacy, burnout cycles, and the ripple effect of small actions• Epstein files, power, and accountability questions• belief, evil, and the stories that shape behavior• mini-series teaser: red flags in therapy and weaponization of care• grounding strategies: breath, senses, scope control• closing with small comforts and caring for petsFeel free to email me: [email protected]’m going to include Stop the Bleed links and info on the Rhode Island shootingHigh temperature susceptibility of sexual reproduction in crop plants | Journal of Experimental Botany | Oxford AcademicOperation Stop The Bleed - RIStop The Bleed Class | City of PhoenixRhode Island ice skating rink shooting: Suspect killed ex-wife and son, injured 3 - ABC NewsGenesis Jones and Dominic Jackson: Police ID victims, recover 50+ shell casings in Richmond mass shootingStop the Bleed – Connecticut Chapter of the American College of SurgeonsMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/hartzmann/no-time-to-dieLicense code: S4CEQWLNQXVZUMU4Artwork and logo design by Misty Rae. Special thanks to Joanna Roux for editing help.Special thanks to the listeners and all the wonderful people who helped listen to and provide feedback on the episode's prerelease.  Please feel free to email Matt topics or suggestions, questions or [email protected]
