In this special episode, an elementary school teacher (and card-carrying member of the NRA), a grocery store worker, a father of two, and the son of two schoolteachers try to make sense of three mass murders in 10 days — each perpetrated by men.

The SDJ crew creates space to process grief, while trying to understand how someone could possibly murder 19 kids from ages 8 to 11 in cold blood.

Special guest Dr. Russell Kolts says we as a society have turned to guns as our primary threat regulation strategy, and have lost sight of using community, connections, and relationships as a way to build a sense of personal safety.

Hopelessness and despair, mixed with the hate, anger, and rage of toxic masculinity, combined with easy access to lethal weapons provide a sure path to the Dark Side.
