It's been over 5 years since the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting. Looking at Sandy Hook five years later, we see how what happened at sandy hook in Newtown, CT, affected so many lives and the discourse in our country. The Sandy Hook shooting, that december 14 2012 school shooting, was an unimaginable tragedy. Advocates have called for more gun safety and gun violence prevention in the years since. Moms Demand Action and Everytown for gun safety have been leading the way to stop mass shootings and more deaths.

$800,000,000,000 spent on a military and my child is afraid to go to school at age 7 thankyou America.
Why is it that I'm not afraid to go to school? Why is it that none of my friends are scared to go to school? Stop believing this bullshit hysteria.
@Mr. Teddy If America were to move the police budget to other programs then the police wouldn't be as quick to respond to tragedies like the Sandy Hook shooting. The police is actually pretty underfunded and officers are underpaid. People are so quick to say defund the police yet don't think about the consequences it would have, especially on black communities whose crime rates are much higher. The police is too often taken for granted. It's ridiculous. It's not because one program is underfunded that you shouldn't fund other programs that are vital to everyone's safety. I do think they could cut back some military funding, but you also have to think about how the US military helps countries in crisis all over the world, such as earthquake relief in Haiti and containing ebola in West Africa. The money that goes to military doesn't simply go to waste. Funding for police and military have absolutely nothing to do with school shootings. Money doesn't prevent shootings or fucked up people. If anything money to the police would prevent shootings because they can keep an eye on warning signs and interfere before anything happens. People need to stop making these blunt statements without thinking. If you wanna take money from the police then don't expect them to be there when a shooting or any other crime/tragedy happens.
@Mr. Teddy you sound so naive. The minute our military defense lessons any degree is when the enemies of the US will make their move. China, ISIS, N. Korea, etc. You obviously have no idea how the world works. Yes, it would be great if we didn't need so much military defense and we could fund all those things you mentioned. Unfortunately we live in a world where some powers that be want nothing more than to destroy the US and all we hold dear, especially our freedoms. Until the time comes when that's no longer a threat, we absolutely NEED our military fully funded and ready at all times.
then move to Africa, go see how good it is there, you ignorant bigot.
@Mariam Tsehay then move to Ethiopia. Oh and avoid those racist American vaccines before you go.
"Are we going to get a prize?"
"Is it a candy?"
My HEART JUST BREAKS
Fatimah Husni that's when I started crying
Leni Cleveland no it’s not.
Deadass💔
Leni Cleveland so they actually killed kids to get gun control laws? Yeah, sounds totally believable. That was sarcasm if your mind was too stupid to realize
Uhhh why is there comment fights on yt?
That father’s pain is absolutely terrible to watch.
Vilonious Lee I am a sexual assault survivor living with PTSD. Sometimes when my PTSD hits me and I am remembering incidents of my abuse my feelings become so twisted up inside I grin and laugh to myself. It’s a dark sardonic humor that goes through me while my mind is processing those invasive memories.
Leni Cleveland my elementary school was down the street during the shooting i’m sorry for people like you this was very much real
@@lenicleveland1380 I'm glad these conspiracy nuts didn't turn up in Dunblane after the massacre. if they did, they wouldn't fare so well. Disgusting people. Just denying reality because they don't like it.
Leni Cleveland wow edgy
@@lenicleveland1380 I lived through it. Fuck all you conspiracy theorist morons. Get a grip on reality.
Imagine being one of those kids who ran past the shooter when he was trying to reload. Missing death by literal seconds. Looking at the shooter's face, brushing against the killer's figure, running past your dead friends. Not thinking. Just running. Feeling fear so sharp you feel like you might faint. Or feeling shock so bone-deep you don't feel anything at all. Little kids who should have never needed to feel this fear. Who should have never seen their schoolmates shot to death in front of them. There is no. excuse. for why proper gun control has not been implemented. There is no excuse for why, 7 years later, 142 more shootings have taken place and nothing has changed. New Zealand had immediate and incredibly strict gun reforms after the christ church shooting. And that took place this year. It didn't take them 7 years. It took a day. America, WHAT is your excuse?
in one of the classrooms there was only one survivor, the little girl played dead and made it out. It's heartbreaking.
Couldn’t have said it any better!
Chlo Wong I say the same thing all the time. I don’t understand.....
👏👏👏
@@joyenchanted13 what's that girls name?
That dad in the video came to my school to do a talk, it’s not a hoax and he made it clear to not push an agenda. He didn’t even want to talk about guns, just about taking care of one another and making sure we all feel noticed and appreciated.
Laura Christina ignore the troll
@@kanyedidntmaketaylorfamous2669
Your not always going to feel noticed or appreciated and that is life. It takes more than desire to achieve results in life. And furthermore you should never rely on others for justification. Learn to appreciate the act of being alive. Notice how blessed you are. Learn to love yourselves and you will be better at loving others.
chuck wick Since his entire life is revolves around gun control....
One of the dads are coming to my school soon I don’t know who though
For a child so young to die by gun fire is so painful too grasp and imagine. To lose a sibling or parent or young child right before christmas is haunting
gunfire or car accident it doesnt matter. Actually hundred times more children die in car accidents I wish that issue had as much attention as gun issue.
Yeah. Can you imagine the parents who got their kids’ presents and they’ll never get opened?
@@ihavenoideasforanickname2964 my mom died on December 23rd 2015 suddenly. my family had all gotten presents for her, we had to open them on Christmas. worst thing Ive had to go through.
@@17MrLeon car ACCIDENTS. School shootings are not an ACCIDENT. Although some car accidents can be intentional most of them are not lol. Understand the difference.
@@naomixx5629 and? Are you saying car a cidenta dont kill more people or that you dont care that people die if its accident? People with no empathy like you make me sick.
Nobody should ever have to go through that, especially not little children in elementary school.
Then you'll be delighted to know that no one did. Seriously, you should really look into this case. Start with the crime scene photos. Don't worry, there's literally nothing to see. Cleanest crime scene I've ever seen.
Don't worry, they didn't.
@@nicwatchesvids obama said it was a fema for gun control.
@Leni Cleveland Bullshit! When did Obama said that? Do you have a video of him actually saying that?
Amy Beth L. Shut it girl
You’d think after Columbine and Virginia Tech, schools would have redesigned class doors, especially library doors, to lock from the inside.
butterstix 24 My old middle school library did. Problem was, the doors were glass.
butterstix 24 you would think there would be gun control
It's what other countries did. Even after getting rid of guns they changed most of the stuff to do with entrances and exists to prevent anyone getting in or out who shouldn't.
they have done it in Loudoun County VA as soon as the door closes it locks automatically and students aren’t allowed to open doors even if it’s another student. even on normal school days.
Glenn Bransfield are you currently a student in school? do you have children, family attending school? if not, then what you’ve said does not hold value. as a child in school, i would be incredibly grateful to have more protective doors, metal detectors, gun control. i was 10 years old when this shooting occurred, and i’ve grown to be afraid of public places. each school i’ve attended has been threatened and on lockdown. i want to be able to at least get my education without being shot, much less go out and buy groceries. hoaxes? piss off. i would pray that even my worst enemy will never have to witness or become victim to a shooting. it is the most terrifying, life shaking event a person can have. you have no right to claim hoax. find something better to do with your life. we all die someday, don’t look back to say you called 20 children’s lost lives a hoax.
Imagine how hard it is to try to keep a bunch of first graders quiet ... I feel for the teachers and the kids and the parents
Yea my class can't even be quiet even if was to save they life
We been having fake ones still won't be quiet
The preschool I worked for before having my baby, we would do lockdowns a few times a year. CONSTANT whispering and giggling and one crying. No matter how many times we said “shhhh..” or hugged the upset one. It was just always noisy. And I don’t blame them, they’re preschoolers. I just know if there was an incident, we would be found..
@@Timeira
Oh they’d be very quiet if they knew their lives depended on it. I have an elementary school daughter that loves TO TALK... they’re chatty but usually very intuitive and in tune with their instincts... that’s why experts say it’s better to teach them new language at a young age
@@SpannaBanana15 this is the saddest comment I’ve ever read as an Australian mum to an 18m old. That’s so scary
It breaks my heart every time the dad says "my little Daniel", like he rarely refers to him as "Daniel" and that's really heartbreaking to watch💔
It’s heartbreaking to know he will always be ‘little Daniel.’ His chance to grow up was stolen.
💔💔
I feel the same way. Crying as I watch this video because of his little Daniel.
The father looks like he’s cried all his tears out and has no more tears to left to cry. Just somber, dry, depressed, broken. I feel so sorry for him
One of the dads committed suicide from the online trolls harassing the families and saying this was all a hoax.
Another parent moved 8 times and is now living in hiding basically.
People are so cruel. Who could ever even fix their lips to say something like that? 🥺😒
He’s a simp
He needs to retake up fatherhood again and raise up another child. Hopefully that will restore his joy.
@@Dartanian1972 SHUT UP ROKU KUN THE VYONDER!
“do we get a prize” “is it candy”
that really really broke me
The librarian handled that situation very well..❤️😔
Yes she did. It's hard enough to keep yourself calm during a dangerous or traumatic situation. To be able to maintain your own calm while keeping a group of young children calm at the same time is nearly a superhuman feat.
It’s crazy, I’m the same age as the kindergarteners that would be living today, I don’t even want to think about it.
Heather Roses ?
Heather Roses ok I’m only 11 sooo I don’t know what to believe but if the media wants us to believe a hoax and it’s fake why would they put it out, didn’t they go to school
Avery 101 same age of the 2nd graders when it happened
Avery 101 the shooting happened, honey. This comment section is filled with conspiracy theory people who are willing to invent stories to tell themselves their guns won’t be taken from them. These are shady adults and you should not read the comment section until you are several years older so you can emotionally handle these trolls.
Heather Roses that’s honestly so low to believe that it’s a hoax... 20+ people DIED that day. Children are dead. And you don’t believe it? That’s sad
I can’t even imagine the conversation the father had with Daniel’s siblings.
At least he said he loved them that morning 🥺that part just tore me apart😢😭
Eight years later. The first graders that lost their lives would now be freshman in high school. The fact that this is still a problem is ridiculous. The fact that I am the age they are supposed to be and I know this is a real issue but political figures don’t is also ridiculous.
@@OAKofLIBERTY stfu
@@OAKofLIBERTY are you serious? please tell me you’re joking, but do you really think this is fake? why?
@@OAKofLIBERTY Are you serious? 20 CHILDREN lost their lives. 1st graders, excited for Christmas, to open their presents, to see if Santa ate the cookies they made, but they never got to live it. They died at 5-10 years old. 4-8 teachers died. They may have been adults, but their lives still had value. 2 children were injured, and ended up dying at the hospital. Both of them.
80 million kids have gone to American schools since 2000. 300 American kids have died from school shootings since 2000. That's about 1 out of every 266,000 that die from shootings. That's a likelihood of 0.00000375%. While school shootings are definitely a problem, it isn't as bad as people claim it to be. Please don't take this comment as compassionlessness; I just wanted to display the cold hard facts, something that can't be argued with.
the fact i was their age breaks my heart
Oh god thats horrible. All i can imagine is in that teacher's head "Yes, you get a prize. You get to live." God im all choked up...
Here we are, mere days after Udvale elementary school, and 2 weeks after the Buffalo supermarket, and this video is as relevant and top of mind as ever. Nothing has changed, the system and the people within it making decisions have failed the children of our country in the most cruel, heartless, deplorable way possible. That is the bad action part of it. But just as bad, maybe worse, is the inhumanity of apathy and inaction in the face of a very specific danger that has been a figurative call for help, unique to our country, for going on 25 years now. Tragic isn’t even a good enough word that comes anywhere close to the gravity of this American crisis.
It is heartbreaking and the worse government wont do anything so you have to be 21 to drink at a bar but 18 you can buy firearms to make a massacre ….what kind of laws are those by the time police gets there it will always be late…. This teenagers shouldn’t be buying guns they are only 18 what they need a gun for huh
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
@@joshuacarson6576 guns are not a human right. Your boom stick isn’t something that every psycho is entitled to. Your mind is absolutely twisted and you should be forced to see the carnage of events like these.
@@dustinjoeypace the second amendment is about self-defense using the best thing for self-defense a gun. So yes everybody I believe in the world is entitled to self-defense that is a fundamental human right. And I've seen the Carnage of gun violence my brother was murdered. I don't blame guns. I blame the 2 POS brothers who did it.
@@donbala07 Hollywood loves violence, they thrive on it. pretend mass shootings and crazy people terrorizing and harming others...This is 97% of what hollywood promotes. No one is going after them to stop the movie violence - it truly is traumatizing, can't even turn on the TV, and the violent blood thirsty video games, hello! along with media who loves a good tragic story....its really disgusting......mental health should be talked about and more movies about joy, love, hope, happiness, positive uplifting, NOT murderous angry people, them against the world, NCIS women being horrifically raped and people murdered in sick ways....that doesn't penetrate little minds? even adult minds. Destabalizing programming must STOP! get rid of our guns, our knives, our vehicles, anything that could harm others or teach people responsibility and respect for each other and life, not hateful revenge movies that promote murderous bloodthirsty inhumane society. Don't blame hollywood and video games and add the media in there and you really do not care about doing anything that is challenging, just take away guns so the criminals and government get what they want.....sue hollywood
I feel so bad for these families. I don't care if you say it's fake. These families still lost their children. This is so sad. When I found out about shooting I was heartbroken. And now that the Florida school shooting this is much more important.
Vilonious Lee I know what fake means. But can you show me where those children are? Like seriously, please, please show me a video of a one of the children that died.
+Tom Kurtz you Hoaxers are so pathetically stupid.
Conspiracy theorists want to see pictures of dead children...tell me that's not sick.
Then why were they singing in the SB two months later?
Tom Kurtz they do not appear on superbowl i see the video its not them.
These things are no joke. My mom is a teacher. I can remember the day that the news was spread about the High School in South FL that fell victim to a mass shooting. On the news all they said was that it was a school in South FL. They didn't give any more details than that. My mom was teaching that day. I had no idea whether i was going to see her again. I can only imagine what these parents went through.
yes they are no joke. After Sandy Hook, they really do shoot people. Only it's merceneries in riot gear doing the killing, not the patsy chosen in advance and picked up by police later.
So you had no clue whether it was your mom's school or not. My mother works in schools and if I heard that a school in (town) had been shot up, I'd scream.
i would be scared to, if my mom was a teacher, sandy school needs closer and we will never know what really went down.
i live in south florida and it is nowhere near south its most likely north
How amazing it must be to hear as that librarian that the swat team couldn’t find you because you were so well hidden. Those kids were in the safest spot that day
Legendary librarian, for sure. She did good on the hiding part, what an amazing librarian ;)
These children were so innocent. “Is there a prize?” “Do we get candy?” How could someone even think of taking these precious children’s lives? I’m glad I live somewhere where gun control is more heavy but America can’t keep letting these tragedies happen. Columbine, Sandy Hook, Stoneman, there are just too many. America, you have to fix this because so many innocent lives are being shattered right before your eyes
What country do you reside in?
The shooter was a kid too, a very disturbed one. That is equally troubling.
i cried and cried this is one of the saddest things i’ve ever seen bless all these families, teachers and poor children
RIP Abigail and Daniel
I think you meant “Avielle” but I’m not sure
It’s crazy to think I’m the same age as those kids. This needs to stop
Jamie Caballero many millions. Millions.
Milan Smith same. I’m 14 now. I’m gonna finish middle school this May. So many kids should be finishing this year two, but because of that bastard they’ll never get to.
I was 15 when it happened , I still remember the name of a teacher who saved her kids lives, Victoria Soto , I still remember her face in a purple top in a photo. When I was 15 , I thought it was a one-off , like it never happened , a freak occurrence. It's ridiculous kids as young as you think more deeply about this issue , much more than my then 15 year old self.
Columbine happened when I was an infant , I don't remember reading about the Virginia Tech shooting . My dad would sometimes not let me read the paper ( I was in the Middle East with no TV) , I guess he was trying to protect me from Virginia Tech . But Sandy Hook happened at a time when I just got social media , it could never be hidden away.
It's horrible to think American students think about school shootings . I have cousins who are students in the U.S , I truly feel bad and for you as well.
@@samjones6046 i was 6 soo like the same age of those poor 1st graders when that happened.
And it continues. The high school massacre in Florida, Feb 14th, 20018. Oh God, help us all.
Billy Jones how dare you. How can you be so disrespectful to deny that actually people died. I don’t care about your gun views. At least be respectful.
Karen Fridie Amen.
20018? You can see the future?
They are not
Donald Sauve even if he WAS born not in the US(which he was), his mother was an American so he is still is a citizen by birth. People like you focus on their political agenda, like how liberals want to ban all guns, and conservatives who think school shootings are fake because politics.
this incident occurred in 2012 and its 2018 and after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, we are JUST NOW taking a huge stand on gun control. do you see the problem here??
No it isn't
actually, "gun control" has been around since 1930's and it DOES NOT WORK. The worst "gun violence" is in "gun FREE ZONES" where only the CRIMINAL has a gun... or knife, or bomb, etc. When law abiding folks have guns, crime goes down. If someone wants to kill people, they will. No "law" will stop them. There are 20,000 gun laws already, and did that work? no.
Now, the media is also to blame... if you kill people with arsenic it won't get much press coverage nor outrage... but if you use a BB gun or pellet gun even... 24/7 coverage and cries against NRA (who teach gun safety classes by the way). ETC.
@Bigenash you've got that backwards. What you have done is classic projection. You are afraid of everything the MMM tells you to be afraid of. I have the courage to stand up, go against the crowd that is comprised of sheep, and say that nothing adds up and I have no issue saying it to everyone. Go look at your fear in the mirror. Its a weak man that goes along with who he believes has authority over him.
There has been on going gun control measures...
You also might want to research what has happened throughout history when peoples have been disarmed.... MILLIONS of people have been slaughtered.

@@OAKofLIBERTY Excuse me? He lost his child. This little CHILD never got to grow up. He will always remain “little Daniel” Never got to grow, have friends, have his first kiss, marry, have kids of his own, and have grandkids.
as a high school student, i fear for my own safety at school because we’ve had multiple lockdown drills after gunman and bombing threats but after watching this video, i also fear my younger siblings (my brother in 6th grade and sister in 2nd) because they are at two different schools that could also have this happen to them.
That is the whole Idea of these events, create fear begging the government to take the guns...
Well here is some history for you, of what has happened when people have lost their weapons.
If you want to be fearful, look at history
Every genocide in modern history has started with a gun registration, followed by confiscation, followed by genocide.
1929: The Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929-1953, 20 million dissidents rounded up and murdered.
1911: Turkey established gun control. From 1915-1917, 1.5 million Christian Armenians rounded up and exterminated.
1938: Germany established gun control. From 1939-1945, 13 million Jews and others rounded up and exterminated.

@@dmahar58 wrong place for this kind of discussion buddy
@@dmahar58 not the time nor place
Don't invalidate someone's feelings like that
These things do happen, but it’s extremely rare, though they happen too much. I was in highschool when I heard about MSD and I worried about my school getting shot up.
But the fact of the matter is that even though these tragedies do happen, they are extremely rare. It’s so unlikely it’s not worth worrying about.
my school had a kid in my grade that brought a gun to school. luckly he said he was going to shoot the school in a snapchat groupchat so we were able to tell the police and noone got hurt. i was in 6th grade. Im scared to go to school because i just think is this going to be the last place im at.
I thought this tragedy would finally change things in this country. Little kids, defenseless, precious, full of joy and hope, never deserved this and neither did the families. Prayers and thoughts have been spent and it is time for action. We are the only country that allows these type of shootings to keep happening. ENOUGH is ENOUGH! NEVER AGAIN! Not in another elementary school or any school. we need a gun ban and a reform to our mental health. Anyone who says this is a false flag or fake are disgusting people and disrespect the memories of these little angels.
That was the plan
PEOPLE DID DIE AT SANDY HOOK!!
David Rauschenbach....It seems you and the FBI do not agree. The FBI statistic for Newtown [Sand Hook] shows for all of 2012 there were ZERO deaths by nefarious means.
@@kennethroyer9949 you only believe the FBI because it suits your narrative

they were probably looking forward to christmas 😭
melanie p it would be a shock if they were.😔
They were, I was watching the inside edition documentary on this story and it said that the first grade class that was wiped out so horribly, was in the middle of making gingerbread houses for Christmas.
Makes me wonder why the school had no christmas decorations at all,.......every elementary school has christmas decorations,.....but not that one on that day,....hmmmmmm??
@@trueknowledgeispower what do you mean? My school did not have christmas decorations, although we did make some. Doesn't mean anything.
bet all the parents were buying gifts too
I knew I was going to cry through this but I had to watch. RIP little angels.
When when the father told about when he realized that his son was dead, that’s was when I started sobbing.
All this stuff that literally NO OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRY ever has to worry, yet America keeps saying that guns are for protection....like protection from what? From other people with guns? Do you see how stupid that is?
Yes, because no matter how “well protected” guns will always find a way in. I can also name multiple shootings in other countries. The hungford massacre in England, 2018 Moss side shooting in England.
Some girls have to carry and conceal because of people who will prey on them, intruders late at night breaking into your home, robbers attempting to rob a place of work. Sometimes just deranged people. The list goes on.
But I do agree they need to tighten the laws a little bit so bad people won’t have as much access.
@@persono6658 We don't allow guns in England. Guns, if owned, are illegal so though we had an incident as you suggest, it would be much higher had we have ridiculous gun laws. You offer examples as if they are justifications to own guns. Guns are like wars .. useless and only innocent goes in it. It is a business as anything else. Money is what humans are enslaved by and will always be. They are ready to kill few hundreds or thousands of people to ensure they are going on.

And how would you rather protect yourself if a bad guy with a guns is coming at you? Do you see how stupid your logic is?
@@OAKofLIBERTY hahaha the fact that you think like this shows how flawed your logic is.... countries that dont allow ownership like its candy have about 1 in a 100,000 deaths by guns, while the us has around 30 per 100,000. Also, if someone is coming at you with a gun, you dont really have the time to get yours out, now do you? its so flawed that you think that everyone having guns makes it safer.If good people can get guns at walmart, bad people can also... In Europe, street police dont even have guns... And you know what? WE ARE MUCH SAFER THAN YOU.
I truly can’t grasp how anyone can think something like this was a hoax. It blows my mind how all this evidence, and survivors themselves speaking about it, how someone can be so out of touch with reality to not see what’s right in front of them. This is so sad. I really hope everyone who was involved in this is finding peace, whatever that means for them.
Alotta ppl believed mj was a molester and that heard was never a victim too. And there's plenty of ppl that could've verified things for them but there u have it. Im not saying this is a conspiracy anymore but sometimes ppl believe/ entertain things bc there's no way u can verify anything yourself. Do u know any of those celebrities yourself? Are you the census bureau? Bc idk any of these children. Doesn't mean I'm heartless. Just means that I truly don't know. But rip to the victims anyways
honestly same i find it disgusting people find it fake if it’s fake where is daniel? where are all the children who lost their lives that day? they’re sadly not with us anymore. it’s cruel to see people thinking families and teachers would lie about this when all they want is to find peace in their pain
I think the reason is because there are countless questions that have never been answered. Here are just a few that people have brought up:
1) Why were no ambulances/EMS allowed inside the school? Why were they all kept behind at the nearby fire station but blocked & prevented from entering the actual building?
2) Why were the students never taken to the hospital? How was it allowed for a single police officer to “declare them dead” on his own, when they are not even qualified to make that medical call? And why did the community never sue for this horrific mis-judgement?
3) Why were no trauma helicopters ever sent as per standard protocol? Why did the community never sue for this horrific mis-judgement?
4) In the one single state police helicopter that was sent to the school (for which we have recorded footage), why did the police chief of the town admit that it was never in communication with police on the ground? How is this possible? Why did the community never sue for this horrific mis-judgement?
5) Why are there no records for the shooter ever having attended the school? Why are there instead only records for him actually having attended a different nearby school?
6) Why are there no verifiable records for the shooter even having existed? Why was a private investigator hired by one of the parents themselves unable to ever located a social security number for the shooter? And why did that same private investigator discover that the social security index lists the shooter’s death as having occurred on Dec 13, 2012-a day before the tragedy?
7) Why is there not a single picture or photo ever released of the perpetrator alongside his brother in the same frame-the same brother who was originally alleged to have committed the crime in the first place?
8) Why was it said that the shooter had stolen his brother’s ID, when it was already proven that the brothers lived many miles apart in completely different states? How was it possible for him to have taken his ID?
9) Why have we never heard from the family of the perpetrator? Why have none of them ever come out to make any sort of statement at all, or ever testify in court or meet the parents? Why were they simply arrested or taken in by police, and then completely disappeared into thin air?
10) Why does nobody in the community remember the shooter? Why did one of the neighbors call it “strange” that nobody knew anything about him, and even his own aunt said she doesn’t remember him?
11) How was a scrawny young man able to carry upwards of 100-150 pounds of firearms and tactical gear all on their own in the first place? How is that physically possible?
12) Why was camera footage never released of the shooter entering the school?
13) Why was there no camera footage ever released of students mass evacuating the school? Why was the only released police dashcam footage empty and shows no students or teachers in sight? Why does this contradict the official police report which says that hordes of students were seen evacuating the premise around the same time and location?
14) Why does that footage only show other police officers who got up and calmly started eating snacks brought to them from other officers? How could they be doing something like that in the midst of a mass shooting? Why did the community never she for this horrific mis-judgement?
15) Why were there port-a-potties seen all over the outside of the school premise? What were they doing there? And why could the school officials never show the records of these materials being ordered even under subpoena?
16) Why does the Federal Bureau of Investigation show on their official website of murders in 2012 that nobody died of murder in that town in 2012? If they get their information from the local police departments, why were those deaths never accurately logged?
17) Why did the police confidently claim on live camera the day of the incident that the shooter was found deceased “in the HALLWAY” and “OUTSIDE of the classroom” and yet the official police report says that he was found inside the classroom? (As one out of numerous anomalies)
18) Why did the official police report take an entire YEAR to write? And why after all of that, MASSIVE chunks of it are censored and blurred out? Why all the secrecy?
19) Why did the initial phone call from school to report “gunfire” get labeled by police as a mere “unwanted person” alert? Why did the community not sue for this horrific mis-judgement?
20) Why did the Newtown Bee (the local paper) claim the day of the incident that they had personally spoken and interviewed the principal of the school about the incident, when she had in fact died in the shooting?
21) When confronted about this and forced to retract the article and apologize, why was the excuse given for the huge mishap (to paraphrase): “A strange unknown woman who LOOKED like the principal came into our building so we interviewed her.” How does that make any sense whatsoever? And how were they never able to identify this imposter mystery woman?
22) Why was there a visible sign right outside the school on the day of the incident, which read “Sign in Here”?
23) Why did a member of the school department formally testify in court that this sign belonged to the Federal Government’s DHS? What in the world were they doing there?
25) Why was there a scheduled FEMA drill on the DHS website weeks and months before the incident, scheduled for December 13th/14th?
26) Why did several of the surviving kids who were interviewed mention something about a “drill” on live camera, as allegedly told to them by their teachers before the incident?
27) Why were there mysterious Facebook pages and donation websites or articles posted a day before the actual incident (on Dec 13 or earlier) talking about the incident, when it never actually happened yet? How did Microsoft reportedly confirm these online web-publishing dates when investigated, if they were in fact false?
28) How was a multi-million donation website page by a major corporation set up and running for the tragedy a day before it happened? (Dec 13th)
29) After denying foreknowledge of the event, how was that donation page set up and running in just mere hours after the tragedy, when the president and founder of that major corporation himself formally stated that the page was created as a result of “many requests” which would mean that the idea, the decision, the the planning, the computer programming, the bank arrangement, the website design, and final touches were all done in a matter of a just several dozen minutes?
30) Why was it found that the school was found to have heavily contaminated water, toxic fumes, and high asbestos levels in the walls that made life practically impossible there, yet parents were never notified?
31) Why did the state of Connecticut suddenly release a random law just a year before the incident which stated that no crime scene photos, birth certificates, death certificates, or ANY records related to murder victims or their perpetrators in the state could ever be released, with a penalty of up to 5 years in prison? What was the purpose of this strange and seemingly unprovoked law?
Why are there so many of these basic contradictions, discrepancies, and anomalies that haven’t been answered? And why can’t people ask these simple questions without being mocked or targeted?
I was in kindergarten when this happened. Roughly the same age as many of the kids who died in the shooting. To imagine how the classes of 2024 & 25 feel as they head to high school knowing that their are classmates who should be sitting next to them or walking on graduation day is devastating. How the surviving students and parents feel is unimaginable. This country needs a change.
Strongly agree!!! My sister is in the class of 2025 as a freshman, and I’m SURE that graduations around the country for both the classes of 2024 and 2025 will be some of the most important ones despite them being the same ages as these poor children!!!
My heart shattered when the father said Daniel died
what’s saddens me is a year, or 5 years from now we’ll hear from uvalde families. my heart goes out to them 😞
And there's gonna be another Sandy Hook or Uvalde too which is just insane. Nothing changes.
so many shallow hearted people in these comments. my heart goes out to these people
Mowac i’d be asking you that
Mowac pretentious and a hypocrite i see
@Mowac Your comments are fuckin retarded!
@Donald Sauve Shill!
This has always been hard for me because my son was in the same grade and age when this took place. All I could do was hold him and cry when he came home. His Christmas show was about a week later and his teacher switched their song to a tribute. There wasn’t a dry eye in that auditorium. RIP to these little angels
The innocence of the kids asking if they got a prize for staying quiet is just heart shattering. When I was in elementary school, we went through drills frequently. Nothing ever happened, thankfully, but we were aware of things like this at that young age. They explained to us why we had to practice and know what to do just in case something bad did happen. Twice a lockdown wasn't a drill from what I remember but it was quickly resolved as a misunderstanding of some sort. But for something like this to happen puts a chill down my spine
My younger son was a kindergarten student when this happened. I picked him up that day and hugged his teacher, both of us in tears. I will never forget where I was and how I felt when this happened. It was winter and when it gets dark out early. The week following this shooting, I remember looking out my kitchen window. I thought of the families who lost children at dusk and hurting for them. Hurting knowing their kids should be home, doing homework, getting dinner together. This broke my heart in a very deep way.
So now you ar a fan of disarming law abiding citizens becuase of the actions of a few deranged idiots? You would strip the rights away from 300 Million Americans due to the actions of less than 60 people? Really ? Odd Please think about the following rationally rather than emotionally - Over 200 million Disarmed Citizens were rounded up and executed By Their Own Governments in the 20th century! It is really that simple, no Guns in the hands of the People mean you will rapidly become oppressed by your government..... Germany disarmed the population before the Nazi's swept into power, obvioulsy that was not an accident. Mao Tse Tung disarmed the population before sweeping into power. The Khmer Rouge etc. Look at history and look up the facts for yourself before it is too late. Before it is too late or you can join the death count and become a victim in the 21st Century. 200 million plus disarmed Citizens were rounded up and executed By Their Own Governments in the 20th century! think about that executed by their own government officials ..... Had CITIZENS been ARMED do you think their own Government would have even had a chance at rounding up and executing their populace? ?? Do you see why it is so important for a free people to keep their arms? Without guns in the hands of a free people you are defenseless and at the whim or mercy of whatever party or politician are in power. Please respond AFTER READING THIS
I remember this shooting well because it happened on my birthday. It was the day I finally became fed up with our government.
I'm ALIZArd this happened the day after my birthday, I just couldn’t believe it.
My birthday was the day before and will never forget what happened that day
Joshua Hercules wait your birthday is December 13th too? Happy early birthday
Thx same to u

He's right it's been 10 years since I lost my little one and you wouldn't believe the things that trigger a memory it's just like knocks you off your feet for a minute and your bombarded with this overwhelming sadness and trying so hard to shake it off and get back to living that moment you were just in...

The dead bodies the parents weren’t allowed to see, only photos
I did a forensics project on this tragedy. I didnt have to, but i chose to dedicate 5 or 6 slides to all the children and teachers who died that day with a picture of them, their name, and their age and it still breaks my heart. They were so young. They didn’t deserve it
I remember the day this shooting happened. They had just introduced apple news features. My friend in my high school science class got the notification first and then we all got it. We told the teacher something was happening and he put the news onto the projector and just started weeping. It was the first time I consciously realized that gun violence was such an issue, as well as mental health.
What got me was the dad describing his little boy helping out with the house work and then the pictures of two of the beautiful little children who were murdered I almost cried. I don’t understand how one could do that to such young children. Boggles my mind.
Evil people
People who are mentally twisted and far gone
I study psychology at a college
And one course is Childhood Development Psych
It covers birth to age 18
Your childhood shapes who you are as an adult. The shooter was definitely mentally checked out. We need good mental health professionals that can see warning signs of the individual so we can prevent this from happening
them poor kids..they had no clue what was even happening
Mowac Yes they were told to pose and go sing in the Super Bowl, the real issues in this are over their heads
@Mowac No I bloody wouldn't no point going if it's closed it's like me going to Asda where i live later at 10:05 and it shuts at 10 o'clock so what the hell would be the dame well point.
Well would you can't you answer him.
@@clayton56tube Yeah, that makes sense. They want us to believe they're dead, so they're gonna put the kids on the Super Bowl, one of the most viewed events in television. That makes A LOT of sense buddy. How tight is that tinfoil hat?
@@clayton56tube wow you really are uneducated huh
I remember coming home the day it happened and I just saw my grandmother horrified. A day I can’t forget man.
This was almost impossible to watch, this video is heartbreaking. This should not have happened, these kids should be alive and safe. Something needs to change, this needs to stop happening.
My sister died an unnatural death earlier that same year at the fate of someone else. When Sandy Hook happened all i could think is my sister is in Heaven taking care of these precious little ones. She was an amazing aunt, and everyone loved her. She never had kids of her own. Now she has 20 and she's loving each and everyone of them. Weird thinking maybe but that's how i get though my days. I don't know if prayers help, but if Heaven is a wonderful place, then their all in great hands Rest in Peace. God bless all involved.💝😥
Of everything here this comment made me cry. Thank you.

@@IndigoTiger_828 she loved kids and oh yes she loving them all. Every one of them. So sorry for your heart breaking losses.🙏❤
The fact that I was only a year older than some of the victims when this happened breaks my heart. Elementary schoolers shouldn’t even be in fear this much EVER. I feel horrible for these poor children that went through this and feel even more horrible for those who lost their lives and the families that have to suffer because of it.
What a great teacher, doing all she could to keep those kids safe. 💔
You can see the pain in everyone’s faces. I couldn’t imagine getting that phone call. It’s my nightmare.
It’s been 6 years since yesterday that this tragedy occurred. It’s incredible to know that these 6 and 7 year olds would have been young teenagers. It’s so sad that someone could have done this and killed so many innocent people. Especially those little kids, kids are the most innocent.
@@luciferscatmilk Too bad people like you are unable to think for themselves.
@@luciferscatmilk it was not a hoax idiot
A lot of these kids may have PTSD(post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Can’t blame em
They interviewed a teacher and she said that the only reason she went back was to show the kids that she was brave so they could feel comforted and have someone to relate to my heart shattered hearing that the kids were so scared that they would hide when a book fell bc they thought it was gunshots
I was a freshman in high school. It’s hard to believe how fast time goes by. I remember feeling sick over this for a month. It was such a sad, gloomy winter day.
10 years later 19 kids die again by the pulling of a trigger in a place where they go to learn and be with their friends while enjoying being a kid. This country and its system is a shame! Disgusting! Rest in peace to all the angels who’s time was cut short by the irresponsibility of our government. RIP Sandy Hook, RIP Robb Elementary Uvalde 🤍🕊 , hopefully someday things will change!!!
The list will grow longer and longer with time, such is the state of America.
Struggling with to send my firstborn to kindergarten or to homeschool. It can happen to anyone and it’s terrifying
Stephanie Bell that’s why my mam moved me and my brother to Ireland when I was 2
Homeschool cuz it will be safer your baby will be safe
If you live in America, yeah. Nobody outside America is actually scared to send their kids to school. It's your countries' fault.
If you have the financial means to do so; enroll your kids in a private school. Kids who attend private schools seem like they're genuinely happy to attend school and the faculty as well as administrators seem to truly care about the students.
I thought after Columbine we would never see something happen like this. So horrific .
Then the stonemen shooting happend
Virginia Tech happened after Columbine too
I started sobbing when he saud his little Daniel was gone, that just broke my heart
The fact that these little kids had no idea what was going on and the questions they asked are so heart breaking. These were poor innocent little children!
America NEEDS more mental care in every state and background check.
Alicia Smith, I agree. That's just plain common sense.
It’s not just that. Gun control, everytime a shooting happens they claim mental health cuz they don’t want to admit guns are the problems
@lea Exactly, every country has people with mental health problems but no other country has nearly as many shootings as America
Lola Graham right
Honestly in some way 2020 is pretty good when you look back
The teachers description of her kids asking “do we get a prize” and “is it candy”, I can imagine my nephews saying that so clearly. How could anyone kill a kid.
My dad passed memorials for the children who passed away in this shooting. Said it was heartbreaking. May God's love shine on these families. ❤️💙💜
Today is December 14, 2018 and I didn’t realize it is the 6th anniversary of this tragedy.
I remember exactly where I was when someone had to really explain to me what was happening. I knew there was a shooting in the States but I couldn’t comprehend that it was an elementary school.
I still remember clearly the faces of those precious babies. May they Rest In Peace.
We have truly lost our humanity. We rather argue and insult others instead of reaching out and lending our hearts/resources. This world is . . . gone.
Well,...not exactly,....Here's the most recent example of what's really been going on that you won't hear from the propaganda whores in the media,.....listen to this radio transmission from the Santa Clarita police radio band during the Saugus High School shooting event confirming it was a drill: 153news.net/watch_video.php?v=G2R2OYRK6K6R

I just realized that I was the age of most of the kids who passed away. It’s hard to think that if I lived in that town, would I have gone to that school? Would I have maybe been a victim of this horrible day? I think we need to realize how lucky we are to be alive and be with our family.

Watching the dad having to here the whole first grade class was shot, made break down. I can not IMAGINE this pain. And i can not imagine having to explain to a kid their is a shooting.

Emotional crisis counseling should always be on hand all the time for everyone who needs it and for people that have the warning signs. There are always warning signs in people who are emotionally unstable and in crisis. They need to get the gel that they need to deal with their crisis.
i remember this exact day. i was like five or six. when i found out about this shooting i kept crying about it. even like five months later after the shooting i kept crying. i just felt bad for all those parents & those kids who died that day. these kids didn’t even get to grow up and live a full life like i did.
It breaks my heart that all those innocent kids died
I remember being in 1st grade when Sandy hook happened, I live Connecticut and all schools were shaken up. The devastation, even at 6 years old, absolutely killed me. Rest in eternal peace to all of these beautiful babies that had their lives taken too soon❤️
Can’t believe this was five years ago. Seems like such a long time ago but it truly wasn’t.
I know this will seem somewhat empty coming from a random comment in CZcams. But I want to say this.
Rest In Peace those who died.
May you find solace in death, god knows you didn’t deserve this. Those who are grieving, I’m extremely sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine losing someone like this. Especially a child, the most innocent soul. I wish you well in healing.
And Now 5 years later we're dealing with losing 19 kids and 2 Teachers in Texas No body cares about this problem.
It breaks my heart. I work with children. And I would do absolutely everything to protect them! This ist just not right... 💔
All I can think about is my 7 year old brother becoming a victim to this type of violence and I cry so much. I have no idea how you can cope with that. I’m so so sorry to those parents and family of the victims.

I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss America.
When a person can walk into a building and open fire on the most innocent, know that our societies have long passed their breaking points.
It tears me apart from the inside to think that those parents won't see their children grow up to become what they aspired to.
My neighbor came to America on a work Visa 2 years ago from India. She used to bop around here without a care in the world. I used to tell her all the time, girl you have to be careful here and pay attention to your surroundings. This is America, you can be shot to death anytime, anywhere for any reason. She'd look at me like I was crazy because in her country civilians can't own guns and she had never seen one. I think she thought I was just paranoid. Until one night about 12am two people got into an assault rifle gunfight right infront of our appartment. There were 22 shellcasings infront of our apartment. A bullet went thru my neighbors bedroom wall and over her front door which was directly opposite mine. When I heard the barage of bullets I was in the kitchen on the phone. I hit the floor behind the dishwasher thankful I wasn't killed because it sounded like my apartment was being shot at. We lived in a good neighborhood and in a gated community. Most of our neighbors were active duty military. I went to my neighbor's door immediately. I said did you hear that??? She was like OMG yes. I was like see, do you see what I have been telling you, do you get it now???
This is absolutely heartbreaking, disturbing, unimaginable and absolutely sickening that we live now in a society that this is tolerated and accepted!! God, I wish I had the answers or a solution. What can we do to stop this???
Crazy to think some of the kids who went thru this are now my age
Very sad. Well made documentary.
Can't believe it's been 5 years since the shooting
when I was in 5th grade, I was having band practice after school as usual. the school was mostly because it was only time for after school clubs. science club and band club and English club and tutors were the only ones in the school. suddenly, they announced a lockdown saying its not a drill, hide ASAP. me and my music teacher and my seven other friends hid in the closet and locked the door. We heard a few gunshots and footsteps. I was so scared. there were 8 students at the band practice, one kid had ran out into the hallway. they were shot, but didn’t die. my music teacher was also injured, but thankfully me and most of my friends weren’t injured. no deaths happened, but the entire school and neighborhood was on lockdown. That’s the most traumatic experience I can share. This stuff isn’t a hoax. I’m so sorry for the victims of this shooting or really any shooting.
Rest In Peace, Jessie. My best friend. 💚
I remember the day this took place. I was in either 1st grade or second i can't remember. It happened in the next town over from my school (it happened pretty close to my school still). My school had shelter in place for about 20 minutes. We went home early which i understand why and my grandma hugged me so tight while crying and kept telling me she loved me which she didn't say often. Rip to all the lives lost in this event
Nobody died here
