Shockingly, I am not from the one place on earth where mass shootings are a common occurrence.

Glad to hear it. No joke. Your opinion makes slightly more sense given that added context.

Also, what doxxing?

Doxxing is leaking someone's personal information, usually to paint a target on their back so they suffer some kind of repercussions for a perceived slight. You see, these college kids didn't just get a threat of blacklisting, the Israeli lobby paid advertising trucks to drive around displaying their pictures and personal contact information. They could very well be killed.
