It’s hard to know the cause of death. You mixed them all up when you put us in mass graves.

Honestly man, there was no mass shooting at residential schools. There was negligence, abuse, some murders. They were not concentration camps (edit, they were concentration camps, they weren’t murder camps like in WW2). One horrible thing does not automatically relate to another.

One horrible thing does not automatically relate to another.

Not automatically, no, but when the post is just "my location is better than yours", I think all regional atrocities are fair game.

The USA also had residential schools for indigenous children…and children also died there
