Activist Group Stuns Store's Customers With 'School Shooting' Sympathy Card Display In Viral Video
@Change The Ref/TikTok

Gun violence in the United States is a sensitive topic, but mass shooting awareness organisation Change The Ref has got people talking with a sympathy card stunt.

As reported by Indy100, the school shooting sympathy cards were part of a campaign from 2020.


The cards were displayed amongst the usual greeting card categories in a section labeled "school shooting.” Customers were secretly filmed coming across the cards and reacting in shock.

One card read the "I'M SORRY" along the top, followed by: "I'm sorry your kid got shot at school today."

Other cards read, “Sympathy on the shooting of your classmates” and “Condolences on the shooting of your teacher.”


The video has recently been re-shared by the organization on TikTok.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.

Cruz faced considerable national backlash after he flew to Cancún while millions of people went without food and water as a result of the February 2021 Texas power disaster. At least 246 people were killed directly or indirectly; some estimates suggested as many as 702 people were killed as a result of the crisis.
