Post-traumatic togetherness
The unity and love people have for individuals and groups that they may not have had without a shared tragedy. The drama and adversity bring unlikely groups together. Conservatives suddenly love liberals and vice versa, straight people love LGBT people, white people love black people and Latinos etc. mass shooting, terrorism, mass casualty, tragedy, trauma, death, gun, killings, law enforcement, first responders
The post-traumatic togetherness after the shooting was amazing. The love people showed each other gave me faith in humanity.
