“Somewhere out there, this is a mom listening to our testimony thinking ‘I can’t even imagine their pain.’ not knowing that our reality, will one day be her reality. Unless we act now.” CHILLS.
Gut wrenching statement, and also one of my biggest fears.
Jesus… I feel so so sorry for her, her family and her little girl .
god it felt like she said that directly to me. I cant stand this.
Yes, NOW!!!
god I'm crying for these beautiful babies and there 💔 families why did the cops wait 77 minutes
My therapist keeps telling me I need to stop watching this stuff but I can't. These victims can't just turn it off. This is now a nightmare they can never wake up from. These families deserve to be heard. Every word.
I'm experiencing the same thing. I keep watching.
I don’t go to therapy but watching is destroying my mental health. I feel the same way though. They can’t just turn it off and they want people to hear thrm
@bring eugenics back 😉 pretty funny for ya huh?😀👍
I am with you. I actually live in Europe (moved here from Texas) and I'm watching this with the utmost horror and revulsion. I hate all this and I am mortified watching this from a country where mass shootings are exceedingly rare. How do you explain to Europeans when they ask us Americans why this keeps happening? The world is watching the US and shaking their heads, wondering why we cannot seem to be able to do anything to stop the insanity.
I need to stop watching myself. Last night I had a nightmare our kid was shot.
the second i looked to her father i started to cry. i’ve seen that face before on my own dad after my sister died. he is holding in everything he can to not lose it all right there and breakdown. i hope they get peace and justice for lexi she was so beautiful and had so much ahead of her.
If anything he should be ashamed of himself, how he lives going forward will beyond me. Have you seen the video? He just stands there in the corner of the hallway, hiding behind a wall (Keep in mind he is all geared up) during a good ordeal while his daughter is most probably already bleeding to death. Can't see how this moms story adds up either.
@@cm6995 What do you mean? Who was geared up?
@@fitnessbabe7958 That dad was one of the cops in the hallway that wasn't doing anything to get involved in rescue, he was armed with a rifle and bullet proof vest.
@@cm6995 didn’t she say he was with her when she ran to the school
@@cm6995 wait... is he the same guy from that hallway? She said they ran together to the school and waited outside.
He is an Iraq veteran who sacrificed his life for the US and now have to lose his daughter let alone in this horrific manner because of the US laws, this is a disgrace.
Veterans who went and murdered children in Iraq, abused children in Iraq, and committed all sorts of war crimes there? I don’t care for his military background, kinda ironic to bring it up.
@@Sara-gl5dc veterans whom were not necessarily aware that they would be committing “war crimes”, abusing/killing kids. Most 18yr olds are sold the “job security, good pay, housing, college assistance, housing assistance, benefits & etc” story. Then once they’re in-unless they rather go to a military prison, they comply until their contract ends-then exit. Thus making them a young vets, such as this man 😐.
And in addition, the military also protects us as well. Do you think the US, should NOT have a military? Surely you know better than that…then again maybe now, as you insulted this solider mourning from losing his CHILD due to some wacko.
I hope you and your family stay safe…
@@childishgambino4845 as someone who sees the U.S. imperialism that has destroyed Asia, and North Africa, no, I don’t support the U.S. military. My freedom isn’t being protected by killing children in schools in other countries. And I’m speaking of those who knowingly commit war crimes. I’m aware the U.S. preys on recruiting poor young kids to go “serve.” This rant really has nothing to do with the tragedies that keep happening here, I just find it ironic to bring up being an Iraq veteran. No insults being dished out here either.
He literally murdered innocent children in Iraq, but ok, go off.
@@yy.189 how do u know this
“Somewhere out there, there is a mom listening to our testimony thinking ‘I can’t imagine their pain.’ Not knowing that our reality, will one day be her reality. Unless we act now”
Having two daughters and hearing that sentence tore me to pieces. Knowing they’ll be going to school one day. I don’t want to face what they are going through, I don’t want to lose my babies. I’m so scared and I can’t stop crying.
I’m with you.. crying uncontrollably feeling the same way, that statement was gut wrenching …… 😭
Been crying every day since this happened and I thank the stars above that I decided to pull my children out of school two years ago when I was terrified after hearing threats at our school that there was an active shooter all of it was just rumors but it made me open my eyes that my children are not safe in public school. I pray for your babies and all the children that have no other choice but to go to public school.
Im 😢 lord 😭😭😭😭😭 i cant even finsh this comment so so hurtful
Unfortunately it’s not just children at school that are vulnerable to gun violence. We are all vulnerable when we worship at church, shopping at the grocery store, enjoying a concert, in the movie theater, etc.
No one is safe from gun violence…we must demand gun reform from leaders.
Also, we must make mental health care accessible to all.
@@aliciaramon6473 you are so correct about that. However one is more precise and can yield more immediate results where mental health is not an exact science and there are so many degrees of mental Illness. Impulsiveness is not a crime. Impulsiveness with an AR-15 however is.
As a mom and a mass shooting survivor I cannot put into words what seeing and experiencing this feels like. We needed a change to happen years ago but now more than ever she is absolutely right when she said “out there is a mom watching this not knowing this will one day be her” remember we are all somebody else to someone else. No person, parent, spouse, and most importantly child should ever have to go through something like this.
I'm sorry you went through that, your brave for sharing your story. May I ask which shooting did you survive?
What school did you survive?!?
So true. And yet all we keep hearing is stuff about banning this weapon or that- no addressing of school safety, no policies and training for school defense, no attention to the societal and cultural issues that cause these evil and/or whacked out perpetrators to act in the first place.
The pundits and politicians have an agenda, and they take advantage of tragedies like this to promote their cause.
If they really cared, they’d be willing to enact and participate in the cultural changes necessary to curb and eventually eliminate in a generation the brokenness that is creating these monsters that commit violent atrocities against children, families, and celebrating crowds. Innocents that become victims of heinous crimes carried out by evil individuals- usually very young men- in our society deserve more than bandwagon lip service to make more laws or ban guns. The victims deserve justice and their families deserve safe communities. Banning firearms or certain magazines doesn’t remove the perpetrator risk- it merely insures that innocent law abiding citizens bear an inability to pursue their recreational pursuits if they are shooting sports enthusiasts.
Until deal with the cause, gun ban or no gun ban we’ll continue creating evil perpetrators who will continue killing innocents.
Never mind the blatant and abject dereliction of duty by law enforcement that day, and totally irresponsible handling of the crises. It’s almost looking like they wanted this to happen.
And banning AR15s will fix all that they say.
Say it again to MTG!!
I went to a concert in Germany today and people brought a uvalde sign which was placed on stage by the artist. The whole world cares about you and everybody experiencing this senseless tragedy. The best I can do is donating money but I really really hope laws will change over there for you so that no more kids have to die like this. Sending love and hope for actual change.
I can’t imagine not only how heartbroken the parents are, but Lexi’s siblings knowing they’ll never get to see their sister again. 😭💔
Aw the dad that didn’t protect his daughter one of the law enforcement that was on the hallway and didn’t do jack shit🤦🏽♂️
@@senkster1851 what?
I just hope they don’t hate the teacher he almost died hoping he could protect the kids and even he is really upset over it because it was 11 of his students and he talked about it and how he felt about it
@@senkster1851 he wasnt tho. she had literally stated he was on his day off
Maybe they can ask their dad why did the law enforcement officers not save Lexi. WHY??
“Not knowing our reality will one day be her’s.” Wow, wow, wow. Goosebumps all over my body, chills sent through my spirit. I’ve always believed one of the most powerful things you can do is make another human understand your pain and that line alone just made my heart break. God rest all of the beautiful souls lost and God bless all the families left behind.💔
Quick make every rash decision now while your feelings are erupting
The body chills ….Absolutely I am sobbing I can’t take this :( I just lost my own oldest brother to unexpected gun violence and I still am in shock.. and healing this is so disheartening to say the least
Un mogóniku
@@MrSwitchblade327 You’re miserable
@@MrSwitchblade327 Rash decisions? How many decades of children being shot and killed in their classrooms before you feel enough time has past to make a decision?
You can hear how broken her heart is.....and the father, he has this haunted look....lost, almost numb. I can not even begin to imagine the grief these two are experiencing....all of the parents who lost a child and children who lost parents.
Yes I hope they are surrended by loved ones at this time. Dads face has this look I know too well. I mean they both are beyond hurting but just dads face.. Broken. This is awful. I feel heart broken for them.
Much peace be with u as well.
No Words 🙏😪❤🙏
don't have kids
@@DeadPiixxel you are the devil.
@@DeadPiixxel like your parents wish they didn’t have you
I feel horrible for these parents. I couldn't stop crying. This one really got me 😔
@@ORIGINAL_WTF some people don't always cry when their lives we're just crushed. Their pain is unquestionable.
@@ORIGINAL_WTF What’s your damn problem smh
My heart and prayers go out to these parents. It's so sad that this has to happen to those 19 Children, and 2:teachers. They need to stop the gun violence in this world.
@@ORIGINAL_WTF they've had WEEKS to cry. Most people are " all cried- out, by the time they even go to a funeral, and don't cry until later from memories. You sound weird as hell, " thinking that people should cry we WHEN YOU DETERMINE IS TUNE FOR THEM TO CRY. "
@@ORIGINAL_WTF Take your effing cult's lunatic conspiracy theories elsewhere. Decent people don't want to hear them.
To know they were there just a half an hour before this happened is even more heart breaking. I cannot imagine their heart break. I know she said that but I really can't. My heart truly aches for her and the rest of her family.
This is just absolutely heartbreaking. There is nothing worse in the world than losing a child. I wish there was something someone could say or do to help ease the pain. Amazing that they are asking for gun laws to be changed, the courage to speak out in such a devastating time, I thank this family for sharing their tragic story and pleas for gun control.
Stop believing everything the news says. These two are liars
Oh my God Mom, you did absolutely nothing wrong. You all were having a “normal” day, NEVER expecting this demonic coward to change your lives forever. This hurts me to my soul. I’m SO sorry this happened to your family as well as the other families. They didn’t deserve this at all. May Lexi, her classmates & teachers rest in peace… 🥀💔😔❤️🩹🤍🕊
Stop bringing that idiot up he’s vanished we don’t need to know nothing about him
exactly right now all she could think about is what she COULD have done better, but truth of the matter is they didn’t know a satanic monster would invade their school sadly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. :( Such bright souls.
I feel sorry for all of the children but what was her husband doing in Iraq, killing children, now you can feel the pain of the Iraqi parents 💔💔💔💔
@@cont8155 I’m really sorry you have so much hate in your heart. I don’t know what happened to you to make you like this, but I’m sorry.
@@allahlovesyou7241 really, that’s what you have to say? Love that you make the assumption that he was killing children. God forbid the same happens to your child one day, and someone will console you by saying kids die everyday … smh
The dad looks like he's had a part of his soul ripped out of him I cant even imagine the pain. May God provide comfort through this horrific time.
Let the Lord be with these parents.Its very hurtful too think this happened too their children. It's awful sad and heartbreaking that someone evil choose to harm their kids. Their has too be a Change for Protection of more armed guards in these schools in our country!
Probably feels guilt because hes also an officer and he didnt go in there.
@@justbecause951 that’s what I was thinking it’s very sad
He’s not even crying so what is he wiping not tears 🤷🏽♀️
@@shakeshiatanner9558 I feel you, as an officer he is to blame but it floored me he ain’t have enough balls to save his own child like wtf
These parents are stronger than I could ever be. Praying for them and the loss they are experiencing.
being a high schooler, it has always been a fear of mine that this would one day happen. we have had 2 instances this year of guns being brought on to campus with the intention of harm this year. thank you for advocating and thank you for making this world a better place. i am so sorry about your daughter.
When I was in school and hs all we ever did were earthquake and fire drills. It’s awful you have to have this fear at school. I’m sorry, we’re obviously doing something wrong if this is what our future generations and babies are scared of and at all places your school?! Yeah, def not cool. I hope we can really make a change ☮️💟
Don’t let your heart be troubled 🤍🕊
i’m a college student now but the scariest moment of my life was when in high school, we got a shooter threat. i was at lunch, practicing a dance with other students… our assistant principal suddenly ran to us ans told us to run as fast and as far as we could. i’ll never forget the absolute horror in my veins when we ran out of the school. i ran and was terrified that the shooter was behind us and would follow us, we had no idea where they were. somebody was arrested for making the threat-they never showed up, it was a “prank.” and it was one of the cruelest “pranks” that one could ever do. for the rest of that year at school i was terrified to go anywhere, the bathroom, different classrooms, etc. i was always prepared to run. i’ll never forget it and i’ll always hurt for those who were lost in this country from gun violence.
omg same. literally last week somebody brought a knife. the police won’t even break up a fight from two GIRLS imagine if their was a gun man. worse part is i’m in TEXAS too!
When I turned on the TV and the news was showing this horrible event happening Lexi's parents were the first people I saw. They looked desperate like they had been running all over trying to find out about their child. I remembered seeing the father wearing a sheriff's uniform and crying and his wife sitting next to him crying it was then I knew this was going to be bad. Watching them today I see the anguish, hurt and loss of their child on their faces and I can't stop crying myself. To Lexi's mom don't blame yourself for leaving your child at school I will not forget you and your husband in my prayers.
@@cont8155 do you even have a soul to be able to say something like that.
@@sonrisa_8338 what did she say was wrong
What was said that she said incorrectly perhaps you need to read her comment ... somewhere you misread incorrectly 🤔.
@@mae3189 misread incorrectly 🤞🏽-ve
@@sonrisa_8338 What the hell is your problem she didn’t say anything wrong
I'm in my thirties and even to this day I start to panic a little if I can't find my mom in a grocery store after 5-10 minutes. I cannot imagine the gut-wrenching absolute terror and heartbreak of searching all day long for your daughter or loved one, only to find out they'd been senselessly murdered like this. Change is so, so beyond overdue.
Just curious what your meaning of "change" is? I see a lot people saying they want change but very few are specific about what they want. I hope you don't think my question is rude, I just really want to see what people think.
@@IceLynne I can try and help you understand when people things happen like this and it is possible to keep it from happening most people in this world care more about what’s benefitting them but like this mother who lost her child she knows there is a problem which is guns guns the power people have with them when they use them to not protect themselves but only to hurt others now I personally believe this world is way too far gone worse things happen every day kids babies animals families everything is dying around us most people just don’t have that perspective so the choose not to look at it because it’s hard
That’s my explanation you have a Blessed day
@@IceLynne in other countries where they reduced the number of guns, they reduced their gun violence. It is really that simple. A majority of Americans support common sense gun reform. It’s time to vote out those who go against the will of the people. The right to own an assault style weapon before you can rent a car or buy booze seems absurd but the NRA cares more about gun rights than protecting people.
@@LB-kw2qh I didn't ask you, and you sound like a soundbite from the legacy media. I'm an independent thinker looking for the same.
I feel sorry for all of the children but what was her husband doing in Iraq, killing children, now you can feel the pain of the Iraqi parents 💔💔💔💔
I can’t stop crying! I don’t have the words! My daughter is the same age ! She also wants to become a mathematician and a lawyer!! Her words and her explanation of what happened that day took me into a glimpse of what she must of felt that day and It shattered me! I wouldn’t be able to live after that ! I would completely raise hell, especially if I lose my only daughter to gun violence at school ! I stand with this woman! I do not want to EVER be in her shoes !!!

You have shared her spirit with such kindness when I know it must have been so hard for you and Lexi's father. Bless both of you.
Thank you for sharing your story! I am a teacher and my heart breaks for your family and all of the other families. This has to stop.

What a strong woman, MOTHER, wife to be able to have that voice for her baby girl & her family & all the victims families & every mother and family that fears this tragedy!
They are all in my heart and prayers. It breaks my heart to watch and hear all of this but I will continue to watch & share and speak of them because that it was they deserve & that is what the parents want, they want change. And justice.
I am with you all. May God continue to hold you all and give you strength & the words and whatever else it may be that you need to continue this life after such a great loss of your precious baby girl. 🤍 🕊

"somewhere out there, there's a mom listening to our testimony thinking 'I can't even imagine their pain, not knowing that our reality will one day be hers...unless we act now." - A terrible and true prediction...
Until the target changes from guns to mental health you can forget about that ever happening. The same old tried and failed tactics don't work. You can't limit the 2nd amendment but you can limit the spill over of nutjobs getting the guns. We must have free mental health evaluations, period
ACT NOW BY ABOLISH THIS U.S CORPORATION THAT KILLED THOSE CHILDERN BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DISARM THE PEOPLE SO THEY CAN FULLY INVADE OUR NATION! 2 SHOOTERS WERE SEEN! COPS ARE USELESS AND ALWAYS TOO LATE!
REMINDER THIS HAPPENED IN A GUN-FREE-ZONE!!!
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY WANT IT!
@@taasch2505 please don’t delete this. This is an excellent example of gun enthusiast logic.
I don’t even have kids and I’m only 20 but this shooting really hurt me, with sandy hook I was too young to truly understand the love and life that comes from kids. These babies were innocent and free. It is really the saddest thing ever
Same here and I'm 24

I'm so confused. Her husband was in the hallway before they took the shooter out for almost 30 minutes. This makes it seem as if he was with her when this all happened.
I lost my son 5 years ago and have lost most his photos from the last few years of his life. My chest hurts, i ache so much for these parents. No one should outlive their child. Lexi should still be alive. This is so heart wrenching. I cannot understand the cowardice or, at minimum, complete incompetence of the police officers. I am also a teacher. I cannot fathom losing a whole class of my students and then waiting 77 minutes for help. These poor parents. The poor, surviving teacher, too.

Who can listen to these parents, hear about this monumental loss and NOT give these parents the change they deserve??? Our children DESERVE to be safe, they deserve better
I'm sayingggggg!
What change do you think would be effective?
@@jen4um lets start by raising the age required to buy assault rifles. We decided it isn't okay for an 18 year old to buy alcohol or cigarettes yet somehow an assault rifle is okay? I also don't think we need high capacity magazines...not the general population...And I do think we should have back ground checks....but instead of asking ME, I think you should listen to these parents who have lost their entire world. Listen to the parents of the children who have been murdered by gun violence. Let them tell you what they'd change! Furthermore, I think the fact that we are the only country this is happening in time and time again speaks to the issue. Our children will grow up thinking these mass shootings are "normal". This isn't "normal" anywhere else in the world!
@@emilysusanvanvalkenberg5978 I never said it was normal. However, have you considered that the guns themselves are not the problem? We are living in a time unfortunately where good is considered evil and evil good. Just look around you. Nothing is normal. We are in the last days and time is getting short. If you have a Bible read Romans chapter 1. Don’t stop there. Read the gospel of John. I am not against stricter gun laws. However, there are those who’s main objective is to disarm the population entirely but the reason we have a second amendment is to protect the population from a rogue government. There is a group on a global scale which includes some in the US who would remove US sovereignty if they could get rid of our second amendment. When Americans can no longer defend themselves, we won’t have a country. Again, I am not opposed to some legislation but you have to be very careful because it’s a slippery slope.
@@emilysusanvanvalkenberg5978 way to recite a narrative.
Thank you both for your services. Bless you and your family. Prayers to all involved. I’m a mom and your right, I can’t imagine your pain. Hopefully with the new laws (thanks to you for speaking up), I hope I never have to go through that kind of pain. Thank you and bless you. 🤗🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely devastated me. My prayers to this young couple and to all the families facing the loss of a child. I wish I had more words.

Y so cops can do this again n not do thier job while innocent children die? Use your brains one man or woman with a gun could have done something to save those kids but ur cops wouldn't save them n wouldn't let anyone else either no the government doesn't want people to be able to defend themselves against the government when the president wants to declare martial law read your history about how that goes
May God comfort all of these families devastated by this tragedy 💔 This senseless violence needs to stop.

nobody cares that your a mom
May the Lord heal all that pain you are going thru. Praying for your family! RIP beautiful Lexi Rubio 💕🙏💕
I am with you. I will do whatever it takes to help. Sending you and your family my love and prayers. Your daughter is amazing.
BRAVO! THANK YOU MR & MRS RUBIO FOR YOUR BRAVERY, VOICE AND COURAGE.
My heart aches so badly and I can't stop crying.
"We know they won't do anything because guns are more important to them than children, but can we at least raise the age to 21". Incomprehensible.
Raise the age up…then what🤷🏻♀️ what does age have to do with anything.l?
Anyone owning a gun must have mandatory psychological testing. That’s should be a given
Thank you for speaking out. Lexi is proud of you both💜🙏🏻
💔 so sorry for your pain! You raise a beautiful little girl! Strength and prayer to the family 🙏
I can’t express my heartbreak for all of these families. Your family is so strong. I’m so proud of your strength and bravery. Sending you love and praying for change ❤️🩹
It was written and read beautifully. God bless them
I’m so sorry. No words. I stand with you. God bless you and comfort you in your pain.
Thank you for speaking today. What you had to say is important, and praying it is heard🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️♥️
This is unbearable. Lord, continue to give these noble parents words. Words to bring about change.
As a mom myself I had a knot in my throat while fighting back my tears! I cant’t even begin to comprehend their pain but what I can do is fight with them to make sure it doesn’t happen again!
The solution is to start committing the crazy people to psychiatric hospitals again. We used to do that in the USA and we didn't have these problems.
Profoundly humbled for their grace and strength to come forward God bless them
What sweet parents and lovely family. So heartbreaking. Praying that those who have the power to make changes are listening!!!!!!
I am that mom that cannot image your pain. Sorry. I am at a loss for words and tears mark my emotions while listening to your testimony. Everyone in Uvalde are in my prayers.
My heart hurts for all the families. This Is a wake up call for everyone to stand together and do something…..
This made me cry so much! I can’t imagine the pain they are going through!
I am so very sorry for your loss of your beautiful Daughter. As a mom I am heart broken 💔 that this is still happening to our most vulnerable, something major has to change. Also we must pay more attention to our mental health issues. Please we need to come together as a whole and do the next right thing 🙏 ✨ 💗
The mom saying, “right now there is a mom out there not able to imagine this and one day she will be the one” my daughters school has had 2 threats the last week, one found and one crime stopper reward for a lead to other. I talk to her about what to do and pray I get my last 2 through school without this happening. We have threats all the time but more recently. This is out of control! But all these threats come from current students in my daughters school, and there response is one sheriff on campus. I’m so scared, I’m sad that we practiced fire and earthquake drills and my kids are practicing to be shot at. I don’t even want to send them anymore. Tomorrow is the last day of school, praying both my kids come home and get to enjoy the summer, it’s sick that’s what I’m praying for when I leave my kids at school.
My school stay getting threats a kid was arrested with a 1.5mm 😩😩😩
Such a powerful message at the end. Made time stop
No it wasn’t. It was asking to strip people of their constitutional rights.
@@rebchizelbeak5392 oh my god. If you aren’t a criminal, no mental health problems, what’s the issue?! You can still get a gun, just have to go through extra hoops. If you have no issues that would prevent you from obtaining a gun, there’s no issue. It’s not taking away a right because no one is asking for a total ban. The right people can have them, and the wrong people can’t.
@ihatetalking nope she said magazine cap limits. Also we tried this, didn't work. If we are limited our military should be too. The whole point is to be on as close to equal footing as possible to fight the gov. Field artillery is also included in arms we are allowed to use.
@@livingmydreamlifex10
What extra hoops? What specifically do you think is needed above what we have now? Because again, most people who say this stuff have never bought a gun.
Also, you do realize it is 100% legal to make your own gun at home, right. That is right on the ATF website. It can be done at home pretty easy from parts at Home Depot. You can put whatever laws in you want. You are lot going to stop a bad guy from getting a gun.
@@taasch2505 exactly. The founders allowed civilians weapons that could destroy entire towns. Ships FILLED with cannons and weapons capable of destroying an entire port city. And they were fine with it… explicitly. They even contracted some of them as privateers.
My deepest condolences. Have no word to express our heartfelt sympathies
The grief is so thick around them. It breaks my heart. Sending you love from Boulder. It was our grocery store less than a year before. This is devestating.
My heart is broken for this lovely couple, their children, family and friends. I can see their pain losing their beautiful, loving, smart daughter that had her whole life ahead of her. It unfathomable to see what they are going through. Please pray for this family and the others. I am going to pray. We need to act now to end this carnage that is ruining lives.
To say “I just can’t imagine” seems like a thoughtless thing to say to Parents who are grieving for the loss of their precious Daughter. What can we do to help stop these nightmares?
Dios les de mucha fuerza a todas las familias que perdieron a sus niños 😥
It's not thoughtless, it just that you really don't know how bad it is until it happens. It's something that you pray you never have to go through.
revolution is the only way. organizing with your local communities to take down politicians being paid off by gigantic, overly powerful corporations. nothing will change otherwise.
Chills down my spine… God bless these parents.
My prayers go out to all the families. My sincere condolences to all the families.
This is so heart wrenching. I am so sorry for your loss. The more parents and everyone who bare their hearts and soul about this tragedy, the more we all can meet in the middle to demand action to prevent or slow down tragedies like this. Thank you for sharing.
My condolences dear mother and father. May God comfort you. 21 years old is still too young. People that age are still irresponsible. The age should be raised much much higher. 30s or 40s.
agree, I don't know why people keep saying they should raise it to 21. People really think 21 year olds are so much more mature than 18-20 year olds, its insane. I'd say raise it to 25
@Kira The reason I chose 25 is that generally a brain is fully developed by then, especially the critical frontal lobe which is used for consequence thinking etc. It's crazy how you can't rent a car before 25 but you can buy any type of weaponry you wish at 18. Something isn't adding up here.
I can't find any reason why an 18 year old or anyone around that age could just order assault rifles from the internet that easily. If you are american that I can say then you live in a corrupt country my friend. Some things over there are just absurd.
@Kira And unfortunately the laws will probably not be changed. And there will certainly be more horrific mass shootings. It's sad to say but it's almost too late to do anything unless the government decides to do something very major
@Kira you clearly didnt understand their comment & it shows. around the age of 25 is typically when the brain completely stops growing. thats why it’s surprising that a lot of people were suggesting to have the age raised to 21, because at the age of 21 theres still a big chance that the brain can be generally underdeveloped.
Raise it to 65
My heart and thoughts and prayers are wrapped around you all as a mom my heart is breaking with you all. None of those precious angels should of lost their lives. Hugs from pa
God bless the Rubio family. My heart is broken at their loss, and the horrific pain on their faces. Just know that God has your precious daughter now, and you did NOT fail your child by leaving her at school. There is no way anyone could've imagined this horror would take place at the school. You WILL see your baby girl again. God bless you and please try to find peace in his love for you.
My heartbreaks for these families still 😢😢
Thank you for having the courage to give such a powerful testimony❤️
I am so sorry for your loss😢God give you strength to make it. No one should ever go through this kind of hurt. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
wow this mom is incredible, powerful words. im crying.
