One of the sure sign of a long-time user is a super long pinky nail, grown out to cut “lines” of powder to snort or to to scoop up a bump. Cocaine is well known for destroying the sinuses, actually ruining the nose and mouth. Kendrick’s father, anecdotally a user, has reached this level.

Not only are the families of victims at harm, but also anyone working in the facilities. Shooting situations force mass evacuations, often without the ability to contact family and loved ones. As a result, the impact is much more widespread – you do not have to be injured to cause shock. In reality, the shooting impacts every employee, and every close relative, a brush with death that leaves lingering stress.
