Mandy Moorecalled out a fan’s frustrating response to her post about the Georgia school shooting.#
The shootinghappenedWednesday at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, leaving two students and two teachers dead and nine more with injuries.#
A 14-year-old suspect, who was a student of the school, was taken into custody and has beenchargedas an adult, law enforcement officials said. Police have alsoarrestedhis father on charges of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, and cruelty to children after “knowingly allowing” his son to possess a weapon, per CNN.#
In the wake of the tragedy, devastating text messages between students and their loved ones have emerged online, capturing the frantic moments after the shooter opened fire.#
One of these conversations was shared on Instagram by gun reform organization Moms Demand Action, which Mandy then reposted on her story.#
“If this doesn’t terrify and infuriate you, then you’re not paying attention,” Mandy wrote.#
Someone then DM’d her and said, “I love you as an actress. But as a Georgia teacher…keep your views on your state only.”#
Mandy, who currently appears to reside inCalifornia, quickly called out the absurdity of the message as she shared a screenshot of it to her story. “I’m not sure what the logic is here?” she began.#
“I can’t have a view on a catastrophic event (and something that happens across this country regularly btw) because I don’t live in that state?”#
Sometimes, that’s all you can do when people are being so ignorant and insufferable — block and move on. I’m glad Mandy called them out first, though, and I’m thinking of everyone affected during this senseless tragedy.#
