there's always a chance that someone sees it on national news that has connections to the school/area, so I personally disagree.

for example, I live very close to this school & actually attend this exact campus where this happened. I've had multiple friends and family members contact me & my mom in the last two hours making sure I'm okay because they saw it on national news.

Everyone wishes they were one of the problem creators that could afford ridiculous shit like this instead of eating the ones that can as the world burns from their fine work.

Keep your eye on the ball. Almost all of our nation's problems stem from the actions of oligarchs dictating their will to government and propagandizing us to further enrich themselves exclusively because millions and billions are still never enough to satiate their greed disease.

If you're fighting any war but class war, you're just playing their division game as they want you to.

Because the entire element of chance is removed. A thing ceases to be rare and beautiful if it is intentionally replicated in a laboratory.

It’s like instructing an AI to recreate one of Monet’s Water Lily paintings. The AI will easily do so, perhaps flawlessly, but it would not sell for tens of millions like an original because it is deliberate and inorganic. Blood diamonds are a plague, as well as the entire exploitative aspect of the gem mining industry - but there are very valid reasons as to why synthetic gems aren’t preferred by the general public.
