Is the mass shooting at the parade today in Highland Park, IL, USA a tipping point for you?

Today is July 4th, American Independence Day, and there was a mass shooting killing and injuring many people at a parade to celebrate the holiday.

Here’s a link to a news article: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/04/us/highland-park-illinois-shooting-july-4-parade/index.html

This area is a very Jewish suburb of Chicago, I don’t know if that might be all or part of the reason the shooter chose it, but I can’t help but think it might be.

If you are thinking you might seriously leave the country, because you believe it will only get worse, what will be your tipping point to actually pack your bags and go live in another country temporarily or permanently? Are you part of a group that you feel is more at risk than the average person? Obviously, everyone is at risk to some extent, because violence and terrorism can happen anywhere at any time.
