I can't even imagine the pain these parents are feeling. And just hearing Sen. Murphy speak just brought me to tears. My heart goes out to these little angels families. This shouldn't happen.
You cannot on one hand say that all life is precious in your bid to stop abortion, and then say with the other hand - don’t take my gun away. Those children were born. They had a life, a family, a reason to live.
@@candycandy5810 There are over 300,000,000 guns in the country. So how do you propose taking away the guns? Do you think criminal will just hand them in? Think about it.
💔 😭 - God bless Chris Murphy for speaking from the heart. I hurt for all the families affected by this terrible tragedy. I cry when I think about all those little children that lost their lives and their last moments on this earth.
This is utterly heart breaking and sad. Imagine dropping off your child and feeling like they are safe at school, then to hear such awful news later that day. I don’t know how I would react,
My wife and I went to a indoor high school graduation yesterday. And on the way there we talked about something like this happening. It's wild to see this today! And I get it. Republicans are going to stand behind the gun laws. Fine! Then they better come up with another solution to stop shit like this from happening. And it's not more guns. The office on duty didn't do shit as far as I've heard.
Thoughts and prayers No one cares Just another shooting. Grab a gun kill someone Say so with your voting. Children try not to die Just to get some schooling. Everyone needs a gun We all be the fooling.
I never drop my children off and assume they are safe at school. I’m a firefighter and truly believe that they are in more danger at school than I am on the job.
When he said, " this is the only country that deals with mass school shootings" that was an eye opener. And, he's actually right. I can't remember seeing anything on the news about school shootings in other countries.
@@victoriousvictor7978 If guns are siphoned out of society and made illegal the majority of people would not be able to get guns, but the US is not my country so go nuts, deal with dead kids every week, guns are obviously that much more important.
RIP the victims man, im from Indonesia so i have never dealt with a situation like this in my country. I pray for the victims and their families to find whatever closure they can find. Stay safe everyone!
"Regulating" all the guns away will do something much worse than any school massacre. Governments have murdered hundreds of millions, if not billions of people. Government is far more scary than a lone coward with a gun. The solution is not less guns, it's MORE guns. If teachers could carry firearms, and "gun-free" zones abolished, there would be far less massacres, or at least would stop potential massacres from occurring. An armed society is a polite society. Prayers to all the parents and families grieving.
@@8thdayadventist911 As a multiple victim of gang gun violence, I was about to rebuttal your comment. But, my daughter's teacher has a gun, safely hidden, for situations like this. My children have had at least two shooters, alone just this year, attempt to enter the building but were intercepted by police as they are right next door to the school. I feel my children are more protected with a carrying teacher then without. They have to push a specific button, which sounds an alarm through the whole school, to be able to access the gun. On the other side, if a teacher decides to go rogue, obviously the children are no longer safe in those brief moments. This conversation alone is beyond scary, given the choices.
@@Gr8fulnomad It is terrifying. And there isn’t going to be a perfect answer. When I was still in school, a middle school teacher lost it, locked his students in the classroom, and threatened them with a chair if they moved, even after the bell rang. I know someone who is dealing with being molested by a teacher decades ago. I can’t imagine what might happen if teachers like these had guns in their classrooms. Not to mention the risk of one being stolen by a student to possibly use on others-or themselves. If someone is going to have a gun around children, then I want them to be trained as much as anyone in our military-no, more, because even most military personnel aren’t allowed to walk around a base with a loaded weapon. The military keeps everything locked up tight, and every piece of equipment and ammo is counted after any training exercises. Even people in the military with jobs that greatly involve firearms, like snipers, can’t walk around with a loaded weapon. The military is _very_ strict about it. Why would we want our kids in a place where the rules about guns are more lax than even in our own military bases? I fully believe that if there are more guns, than there are just more opportunities for people who are mentally ill or suicidal or enraged to kill someone on any given day. Or to threaten someone, or to terrify someone into doing something they don’t want to do.
@@8thdayadventist911 so why does an 18 year old need two assault rifles? To protect himself from the government or to go out and massacre a bunch of children? You cry that we need guns to protect ourselves from the government but can’t even protect ourselves from each other. You’re brainwashed and delusional, allowing 18 year olds to buy a weapon is no different than handing a weapon to a child, because that’s exactly what it is.
@@Christina.Bassford and they will blame democrats for lack border security because the shooter was from Latino ethnicity. The fact he was born in america and spent his whole like here wont matter, those are just inconvenient facts that they don't need to tell their cult
Typical democrats propaganda! they gonna use this to push gun control laws. This explains why senator Chris have a script ready on stand by mode lmao 😂😂
Around the world we see this happening time and time again, in the United States. Nothing! No changes ever happen, history just keeps repeating itself. It seems Americans just want to fight guns with more guns. How can you feel safe in a society like that? Love and deepest condolences to all the families who lost loved ones.
Do you see what goes on in Iraq and afghanistan, who have strict gun laws? How about Mexico? Firearms aren't the problem, its the pussified society the usa has become. Nobody takes anything seriously. How does a 18 year old get the drop on 2 police officers... complacency and sh*t training/security that's how.
Not true,weve asked over and over for mental health upgrades and substance abuse prevention,weve asked to put guards on these schools for years,there was 190 billion given for covid in schools that has barely been touched so saying they have no money is bullshit,guards would work look at courthouses and sporting arenas ,etc,they both have armed guards,all of the rich have armed guards with weapons the average citizens cannot get ,why dont we give this a shot? Because it would work and politicians wouldnt have a crisis to use when their poll ratings drop.
I think we all got PTSD yesterday here in Connecticut, after this horrific news. This problem is to close to our hearts after Sandy Hook. Unfortunately, I've been around you for the last years watching you saying the same thing over and over about this insanity. Your voice and tireless efforts in this matter, would never make me tired to work on your campaign and supporting you. We will not give up. Thank you for your passion and for doing the right thing.
@I Am Retired Care to name another country where this happens with such frequency? Or do you just say things without facts or evidence like 95% of the right? We'll wait.
1996 here in Australia, a gunman gundown 35 adults and children , Australia banned all automatic and semi automatic rifle . We in Australia don't live in fear of random shootings sprees So please America , get rid of your guns
I really like, applaud and appreciate this guy. When he said "it is a choice" ... I mean.. holy he hit it right on the head. His expression and pleading is like speaking up for all the people affected and who are sick of this reality in the United States.. I really hope that this can make a difference.
My teacher just yesterday u went to her class to do my homework. When i entered in i knew something was wrong, I asked "are you ok Mrs.H?" She said "No, im not my cousin was one of the kids that was killed during the shooting" When i heard that, that hit me hard. RIP TO ALL THE KIDS OVER 🕊️🕊️

@@Lynnefromlyn Why do you think the original comment said get rid of worthless politicians??? Because it's there fault we have these ridiculous gun laws
He's putting on a show for you to elicit an emotional response. He pushed prohibiting federal funding for school police in 2021. Who deters and stops murderers targeting defenseless children?
@@aeginabarnes7090 your reply is neither here nor there. Look up Chris Murphy's S2125 counseling not criminalization act. He's now blaming others for inaction while his specific call to action is prohibiting law enforcement federal funding at schools. Why would you put someone disingenuous like that up on a pedestal?
@@raymondshao9165 I will look into it; thank you for elaborating. I'm sure there are serious issues involved, and I appreciate your giving me the info. I shouldn't have reacted solely to your phrasing in the first comment.
When my child went to the headstart program in our town, all the parents & children would meet twice a month, to support each other & have the chance to reach out to families who were struggling in anyway and provide each other with help Why can't we do this same in each classroom across America !? Helping each other, and our children will benefit from a safe, social environment, and so would parents. Having said that, a parent or child that doesn't come to any meetings can be reached out to, with the hope of finding the family healthy & fully intact..and if there is an issue, reached out to, with love, digression, and compassion for help.
I feel terrible for these parents and as a teacher, I am beyond frustrated. There are people right now accusing teachers of indoctrinating students, of being pedophiles or being so many terrible things. Please remember that it is teachers who are the ones who step between the gunman and the children. Our goal is to protect children, to nurture them, to assure that they are ready to move on to the next grade. We are also the ones who must protect them from all the terrible things out there in the world that are trying to come onto school campuses and hurt these precious children. Something needs to be done, enough is enough and I wonder who has to face a catastrophic event in this world before someone steps up and says enough is enough and actually does something about it.
Well said! As a high school teacher, the answer is NOT to put more guns in schools, especially grades 7-12. Do we not think that if kids can figure out how to get around a firewall that they couldn't figure out how to pick a lock where a teacher's gun is stored?!
We protect our money in banks, we have security in the airport even, so why not in schools. It's the crazy people not the guns, guns just sit and do nothing it takes an evil person to do this deed. Fortify schools, the kids wanna be crazy at these schools put in metal detectors. Don't take our rights away over a few crazy kids, they're doing it make them have some inconvenience. This 18 year old had a pistol that was already illegal. People going to commit murder don't care about gun laws! Gunlaws aren't helping anything it's time to do something different. The democrats have an agenda and jump right on a crisis as you can see here. Our firearms are needed in this day and age with the threats of war and everything else!
First of all, not all teachers are bad. Everyone knows that, but to act like there aren't teachers doing exactly the things you attempted to discredit is dishonest. They're uploading videos of themselves doing & discussing the very things you listed all over tik tok, YT & more, they just don't call themselves indoctrinators. The problem is they need better school safety measures and there needs to be a ban on assault rifles (weapons with rapid-fire ammunition capabilities) specifically, not handguns. I have personal reasons in my own life that I need a handgun for personal safety. Rapid-fire ammunition weapons with magazines are always present in massacres. (I'm an independent, not a Republican or a Democrat).
You ask, basically, "What's it going to take before the pro-gun people in Congress decide to DO something about these murders?" In my small town of almost 30,000, there was an intersection where fatal accidents just kept happening because there was no traffic light. There were editorials in the paper, there were marches, phone calls, petitions......but never a traffic light. People kept dying. Then on a summer Friday night when all the teenagers were out as usual the daughter of a very wealthy and powerful dentist got killed at that intersection. There was a traffic light put up within 10 days. Does that answer your question?
I’ll always remember Obama’s speech, with tears rolling down his eyes, when Sandy Hook happened. I knew things would never change if an event that horrific didn’t change gun laws. Exactly 10 years later, here we are. This country is a disgrace.
Tears do no good...we have plenty of money for all the stupid things that our so called leaders want but what did they do after Sandy Hook...nothing. Our schools should be armed camps. What have they done about the mentally ill roaming the streets - nothing. Like the man said - only in America.
We had guns in this country hack in the 70s and 80s and the 90s and no shootings. The only thing that has changed is we have less morals, and have gone more democrat leaning. So maybe liberals are the problem.
Yep! Let’s take away the rights of women and give more guns to anyone who wants them. Abbott now has blood on his hands. We can not forget about these children who are dead for no reason and the blame goes to Abbott!
It's just that the Republicans don't have a heart. My condolences to the families that have to endure this unimaginable loss. From a German living in Peru. Only in 'America'. How sad...how sad!
Chris Murphy is absolutely right, shooting schools are only happening in North america, then its not happening anywhere else in there world, not even in Europe where i live, Spain. Europe must show example about gun control.
Let’s make a list of all senators that have zero disregard for those lives lost Now and then just in 2022 Make them accountable and give them hell for saying and doing nothing
I've NEVER heard an American speak so honestly about the reality of guns... We can only hope such a heartfelt plea will actually make a difference this time
It was Texas. They already allow teachers to carry. So where was the good guy with a gun. Running out the door with everyone else because those “heroes” are just as terrified as the kids. I have no tears left. Don’t want to change? Don’t expect me to care. Let’s be honest, people who glorify guns are just cowards. That’s why they hype up guns, because they have no real courage and they have to compensate. Just kids themselves really.

Man I’m a Sophomore in HS and this made me just sad and brought back the story I heard in 8th grade where a white kid was gonna go into are High School and shoot all the Black Kids and he told his friends and his friends turned him in to the Authorities and told the School. Even when we do the ALICE Drills and Lockdown Drills I still am scared just thinking this could happen someday. Condolences to the family’s and everyone in the past week in Buffalo and Texas with these mass shootings. This country needs to do something about Gun Violence and Gun Control.
Listen baby, I worry about yall too. I want yall to have a future to realize yall dreams in this country. But get knowledge about guns, how to use them, and learn these laws because you may have to be the one to take down one of these demons. And then, you'll have to defend it in court. I hope not but learn from this. Keep your circles small and God bless you.
It was a Mexican, gun control won't happen because it's the only law that states that it shall not be infringed. It's just going to get worse. What we need is unity not division .
That was a powerful statement from Senator Chris Murphy, and he is clearly fed up with all of these senseless mass casualties that occurred due to mentally ill people that shouldn't have even been allowed to own guns.
It isn't just the mental ill. It's anyone with the money to buy a gun, it's anyone that owns a gun that has a working hand. It's kids, it's the person sitting next to you on a bus, a the table next to you, anyone!
There will always be mentality ill people, and people that are mentally ill without documentation saying they're mentally ill. Those people can buy a gun with no issue in most states. People vary a lot. You can be stable all your life, buy a gun, then lose it a week or 20 years later. But you have that gun to do something crazy because it's your right to have that gun. The guns need to go
I vividly remember seeing Columbine on my TV as a 13 year-old, terrified to go back to school because what if one of my bullies brought a gun? Jesus, I can't imagine what the Sandy Hook children felt, and what the Uvalde children are feeling right now. Imagine kids with VETERAN levels of PTSD at their age. And so for me to sit here...23 f*cking years later, 10 years after Sandy Hook...and NOTHING has been done? It's hard not to be completely cynical, because I'm 99% sure we'll be doing the exact same thing we've done for another 23 years. And what's really nuts? All the survivors of all these events have to sit there and be traumatized again and again as we continue to do nothing. What a f*cking disgrace.
i remember the aftermath of columbine, at my high school if you made any terroristic threat of any kind they would have police show up and you would get suspended/ expelled. It was defiantly known not to joke around about school shootings. I couldn't of imagined this is how it would be years later.
For those who say we need armed teachers and more securities in schools. That is not a solution. What would do for super market, church, stores, etc. Are you going to have cashiers and pastors armed? Should every American have weapons in their hands every day?
As well as you go look at Australia they had 1…1…1 mass shooting they took most guns and they haven’t had a shooting since. While America has 4 per month and we do nothing.
Typical democrats propaganda! they gonna use this to push gun control laws. This explains why senator Chris have a script ready on stand by mode lmao 😂😂
@@Kunar21 it is not smart to value ARs and AKs over human life. It is selfish and disturbing. There is no argument you can make that justifies that...and most Americans disagree with you. In fact, most people in the developed world do. It seems like ultra conservatives live in a world of fear, paranoia and lies. Nothing is based on fact, compassion or anything logical. It is fear of some imaginary tyrant when you are the ones creating most of the hell! Unjustified anger, divisive beliefs, racism and a culture that keeps the country from moving forward because some folk want to live in 1950. That is what MAGA is about. Our own FBI says the biggest terrorist threat here is conservative extremists. In fact, it has been the biggest threat since the country was founded
Someone very close to me (in WA State, which is NOT known for having relaxed gun laws) has been diagnosed with mental illness and has attempted to commit suicide on more than one occasion...and she has access to an entire arsenal of guns in her home! The gun laws in this country are just CRAZY! When is America going to wake up and see that what we're doing just isn't working? When will it finally be enough? The sad truth though is that the people who have the most guns will never give them up because they think they have a God given right to have them and vocally proclaim that they'll have to be pried from their "cold, dead hands". So who knows if any legislation will actually end up making any measurable change. But the silence from lawmakers is positively deafening. The GOP care more about deciding what a woman can do with her body than gun reform and it speaks volumes about where our priorities really are in this country.
Mental illness is often the fallback position whenever there is a mass shooting, but we need to accept that sociopaths walk amongst us. These are people with a deep seated grievance against society and some of them act out their rage.
The GQP and their heel dragging to pass any substantive, comprehensive common sense gun laws over the last 20 years are responsible for this kind of tragedy.
Well as long as it doesn't interfere with the NRA convention in Texas in a couple days, not so bad, hopefully they'll have all the funerals before Trump and Cruz and Abbott give their speeches.
Bravo. That took balls and courage. He should be commended for being brave and speaking the truth. Finally someone snaps! Enough is enough! So much hate and innocent lives lost. Just imagine and picture in your head. The most macabre scene. Innocent children lives lost. The tragedy is increasing and no one is doing nothing about it.
It's really sad that people think this takes courage.. It's is what should be a moral imperative by anyone. He is a representative of the people, and should have more of an obligation to speak up .. You applaud him, I say he is not doing enough.
They are all forgetting one component of a gun that could be restricted by age or totally banned - Cartridges. Guns are useless without Cartridges. If gun ownership cannot be restricted because of the 2nd Amendment, the Constitution doesn't mention anything about restricting the Sale of Cartridges and/or the components of building a cartridge. Remember, A gun is useless without cartridges.
The fact that a United States Senator must literally BEG on the house floor for the safety of our children....😔 Is depressing, and makes me feel ashamed. We must draft and vote for laws much like Australia has...we must put an emphasis on mental health, starting with children, and on PREVENTION...not just on "what to do if..."... We need to do better America. Let's work together... Teach our children tolerance, acceptance, and how to properly deal with emotions like anger and rage. We're running out of tears....💔😢😭
Getting a gun should require at least the same as driving a car......a test to get a permit to practice driving with a licensed adult, a full course on how to, another test to finally get a license. Guns should require registration and full insurance at time of purchase. Not everyone will like this ... But at least our children will have a greater chance of coming home from school and our parents from the supermarket.
On behalf of the Dutch, we are so so sorry for your loss. We can’t imagine what those communities are going through. Thoughts and prayers to all of those who need it 🕊🕊

@@Saiputera Oh, you mean like in every other developed country that _also allows citizens to still have guns_ has on the books, where they don't have children getting shot en masse while at school all the time? Like universal background checks? Stronger permits or any at all (Texas just got rid of them)? Why do have to be 21 to drink, but can buy a gun at 18? The vast majority of Americans support these laws, not just "Democrats" but yeah, God forbid people talk about sane gun laws right now.
My question is there was not one person With protection if so things could’ve looked a lot different my prayers go out to the victims My heart is in my stomach To the parents the families I’m so sorry
I live in Texas and I can't do this anymore!! I can't stop crying! We are all living in fear!! The grocery store, church, movies, school, home....It's not OKAY!!! Please take care and stay safe!
Why aren’t republicans talking about this?? Seems like they love bashing liberal cities (that are basically overpopulated and the violence is most likely bound to happen due to that) but in the red state’s according to republicans is more safer and with everyone carrying guns crime is less likely to happen…..so why is this 💩 happening? This is literally worse than what happens in gang related crimes In liberal cities. What in the world did these kids do to deserve this? I can guarantee this shooter walked into a gun store and bought the gun with no problem.
This is heartbreaking, I was helping a customer on the call earlier when I heard his TV background saying about a breaking news where 14 children were killed. I cried during the call and I have to ask the customer to be placed on hold, so that I could calm myself. My nieces are of the same age and they are living in the US. And we are people of color. I feel afraid for the safety of my love ones living there in the US. After the Buffalo incident here we are again. I just hope they go back here so that we could take care of them.
Hello Dawn, I read what you wrote under this video. I wish I could imagine how you feel about what happened yesterday. I too have nieces as well albeit much younger than your own and I have three cousins representing the minority around your nieces' age. Three of my friends got their lives stolen this way and one of my sister's friends also died from suicide this way. It turned out to be even worse than you heard yesterday. Nineteen children and two teachers didn't need to go by a massacre. I have no problem showing sympathy, condolences or even thoughts when things like that happen. Important policies that would help stem the gun violence is needed in this country. I just refuse to accept that gun violence would continue to be the way it is. You and I likely both know that the gun violence here has gotten too much and common to the point of being senseless. I know this is so hard and difficult for you, but I hope your nieces are safe and sound. Signed, Seun, a caring person.
@@oeleyinafe I just hope and pray that the government would soon act on this, passing the common sense gun law. I just hope the 50 senators who refused to pass that law would now realized how badly the people need this protection.
He's talking to closed ears and minds. Sad to say but it's true. Those who run for Congress or Senate want the job for the money and the lifetime benefits! That's a sad reality!
I'm curious, why do you never focus on why they did such extreme actions to end their lives, but only on guns? As far as I know, most school massacres in the United States are related to school violence, and most schools fail to protect these victims of school violence, or even provide assistance to the perpetrators, causing these people to use extreme methods to end their lives. Why do you never pay attention to these? Ignoring is the root of the problem. You ignore the essence of the problem and only consider the issue of guns. Even if there are no guns, things like this will happen in the United States.
@@monsterrex8929 People do but for the uneducated, they get defensive when people point out the obvious problem. There's a difference between a self defense weapon and a weapon made for killing efficiently. The same people who are pushing gun control have also been pushing for broader access to medical and mental care. Guns should not be allowed in society if mental health treatment is inaccessible to millions of the same people.
@@monsterrex8929 Bullying is a big issue too in countries like Japan and South Korea, you could argue it's even worse yet mass shooting aren't as prevalent, those 2 countries restrict guns access much more than the USA. The world isn't a perfect place but you can make it worst very easily.
@@Blaze6432 The gun issue is not the point at all. You should unite the public to have a big social discussion, instead of splitting up and fighting each other. The essence of the gun issue is individual rights. Those who own guns do not want to be deprived of weapons that they can resist. They rebel against the corrupt government and for the people themselves. You don’t want to own guns, but you also want to protect yourself, but the methods are different. Your essence is the same. You need to find a balance and put pressure on the government, not attack other people. , Raise the flag for politicians, you have the right to discuss your own interests, but it is obvious that you have not used this right but become partisans of politicians, attacking each other.
My condolences for the families I can't believe what happened the pain is for all the Americans people who have a family and they think about his children's so sad all this
But Sen Chris Murphy refuses to comment on the NYC subway shootings and the Christmas Parade driver who drove his SUV through a Christmas parade - effe Sen Chris Murphy!
Unacceptable and inhuman, it’s very disturbing that you don’t feel safe anymore wherever you are. They were only children who only wanted to go to school to learn, meet friends and come back home but…. I can’t imagine how heartbroken their families are and what they are going through.

Typical democrats propaganda! they gonna use this to push gun control laws. This explains why senator Chris have a script ready on stand by mode lmao 😂😂
But they did already help you. They sold you more guns because guns = safety lol In two weeks Americans will forgot it and everything will go on as usual until the next big mass shooting. And then everything repeats again. And again and again and again. To be fair it’s also already too late to control anything. If people want to get a gun they always will no matter how hard the regulations are. There are already too many guns in your country and you will just have to live with mass shootings.
Kenyan people are mourning with you! It is deeply painful! Our very honest advice to you America is "WRONG THIS RIGHT!" It is high time that you realize that a gun is not a utensil for household use, it is not a spoon or a plate! A gun is a dangerous weapon that should not be owned by just anyone! Please, America, wrong this right to own a gun! WRONG THIS RIGHT, NOW!
No gun sale for a guy aged 25 and younger Majority of mass shooting crimes that happened recently came from young boys aged 17 to 21 ,it is now a pattern, once teenagers turn into a manhood they start shooting, they need more time to be more mature and responsible before holding a gun, I think 25 years or older is good age to start holding a gun.and put in consideration the effect of action video games and violence toys that mothers give their boys at a young age which make them more violent because they think being aggressive and violent is part of masculinity.
I’ve cried so much listening to the poor parents that couldn’t do anything to help. I’m so sorry that they couldn’t do anything to save their children. Let’s do something anything to stop assault weapons being used on civilians.
I have teary eyes now. I cannot possibly fathom what the parents of kids who died must be going through. I hope no parents ever have to in the future. There needs to be something of importance that gets done, do not let these kids die in vain. Do something for their sake.
Sure. Start by revoking mandates for bullies to attend school. If they only make trouble, then they have no right to education. By throwing bullies away, we can protect victims from suicide, and eventually replace innocent pot smokers in prison with bullies who inevitably turn criminal. Bullies need to be the sacrificial pigs here, to save the victims. And it isn't even a sacrifice, if you ask me.
Lots of tears. Nothing gets done. It’s to late for you guys. It’s your new reality… kids will die… Canada ban assault type weapons… and made it even harder to get a gun then before. How many mass shooting we had since polytechnic in 1989….. 0
Really sad to think a teenager , a kid himself killing innocent children and teachers. Our thoughts and prayers goes to the family who lost their loves ones.
this is so horrible that this conversation even needs to happen. my love and thoughts are sent to the families. my heart is broken. there needs to be a change.
I have been a lifelong republican until 4 years ago. Became independent. This is happening too much in our country. This is a combination of the hate and division all of our politicians promote to keep power and a fun lobby that makes no sense. Shotguns and rifles for hunting are one thing but how are people getting handguns with no background checks and cooling periods. This senator is right. This doesn't happen in other countries. We all need to change. To heal to work together and to quote hating one another.
I agree completely. I’m a 2A supporter for the most part but we have to make changes. I’m in OK and you can literally meet a private citizen in a gas station parking lot and buy a gun with cash and not even as much as giving the person you’re name, let alone doing a background check. It’s ridiculous.
Same way they'll get them if they take them away only the criminals you think criminals will give their guns up lawfully and nut jobs will have them it's a awful terrible thing and my heart goes out to all of them but I worked for the school system for 27 years and all they do is tell everybody their mentally ill well they're making them mentally ill feeding their heads with b******* you see what we're getting telling boys they're girls girls their boys identify as a cat putting kitty litter boxes in the bathrooms to defecate in for people identifying as cats tell me they're not making them mentally ill. All over the news channels your mentally ill you need to go see this person you need to go see that person well hell yeah they're mentally ill that's the way they teach to be it's not just guns they're shoving them in front of subways they're stabbings bombs beating them to death Don't you see they've taught these generations to hate and the ones teaching them are the professors that's in there now that they taught to be hateful hell look at them I blame them they're turning these kids in to nutcases and tragedies like this has happening .. and for what further political game it's what it all boils down to political gain God will get them for it their day of judgment is coming. You don't need to be left or right you need to be on top of things and see what the hell's going on in these colleges and now all the way down to the elementary schools
It doesn't happen in other countries simply because the people don't feel the need to bear arms.. Whereas Americans literally make going to a gun range and shooting a gun for the first time is like losing your first tooth and the 'tooth fairy' gives you some money for it..
@@ivyrose779 so you want to ban private sale of guns? So what am I supposed to do if I want to sell a gun? Are you forcing me that to sell to a gun store? at their price or my price? I would like to see anybody put forth an idea that would stop this from happening? But doing anything for the sake of doing something only makes liberals feel good and gun owners have one more pain in the ass law that encroaches on our freedom and does absolutely nothing to stop a person hell-bent on killing people from killing people. This guy did not give a s*** about what laws he was breaking when he walked into that school and did that. You know who does care about not breaking the law? Law Abiding citizens would be the only people giving up their AR-15s if you ban them. I would rather live in a world where we can all have an AR-15 than a world where the only people who have them are the people who are criminals and the people who are Elite enough in society with special privileges. cuz you know they'll be special permits and licenses for people with security details and stuff so the rich will still have their AR-15s to protect them. the only people you're hurting is the guy who just wants one to protect his house or to go shooting with.
I come from a military family, and the neighborhood i grew up with was mainly wwII vets. I never saw any guns in my fathers friends houses, the vets never talked about the war or was buying guns for protection. We never had a shooting in our neighbor hood, so there should be total reform of guns law. I have a right as a human being to go outside an enjoy my life, without worrying about getting shot as i shop or enjoy the outside. The gun owners have had their chance to show responsibility to own a gun, so now its our turn to take our country back from the nutcases who own guns.
Yeah. They understood the power of a gun and the value of life. The way I see it, people who shouldn’t have guns are the ones who seek them out most often. There are 100 reasons our culture has influenced this shooter’s decision, but I think it’s the overt and extreme psychopathy of the way the second amendment is interpreted and understood by the court that is at the root of this problem. People need to be licensed to drive cars, operate heavy machinery, etc., but, “oh, you want 10 assault rifles!? Step right up, bucko! I’ll throw in some free body armor!” This needs to be fixed or America is done.
Oh yeah because it's the gun's fault. He was already committing a crime. Adding one more loophole will not stop or slow these people down. The guns are here to stay. They are not the issue.
from a non American, I can't understand why your government doesn't do anything about it. It's always a few days of "we need to really do something" then the news dies after a few weeks till another shooting. So sad and tragic.
DON'T EXPECT THE REPUBLICANS TO DO ANYTHING THIS MASS SHOOTING EITHER SINCE THEY'VE SAID THEIR SOULS TO THE GUN LOBBYISTS LONG AGO BUT THEY WILL SEND THEIR THOUGHTS & PRAYERS IF THAT HELPS ANY!!💯💯
Liberals last week : "We should be able to abort children because my body my choice" Liberals this week : "Omg those poor children that got shot. They were so innocent" *Eye Roll* BTW, the shooter was an illegal Mexican POC. Gee, "surprise" there.
Gun sales always go up after mass shootings. So it’s unarguable that the NRA profits immensely off of dead children. A bunch of those guys are probably in their pinstripe suits right now clinking champagne glasses and lighting up cigars. You think they give a fuck about a few more dead kids? FUCK NO.
Thank you, Senator Murphy. Keep trying. Keep pushing. We appreciate you and your colleagues who are trying to make a difference and save lives. God bless.
I remember back I 86 I was in kindergarten and my teacher took a call from the classroom phone. She sounded nervous but calm at the same time. She then told us to hide under our desks and she closed the drapes. As she was locking the windows I saw adjacent classrooms being locked up by the teachers. It was 1230pm give or take and the school looked closed down. I heard our doorknob move around but it stopped. Then we heard someone trying to open the other classroom doors nearby. Later on we found that some guy escaped from a mental health facility miles away from us. He previously went to that elementary school when he was a kid. He also raped and killed and tortured some children. I thank God everyday that our teachers were fast and brave. We were sitting ducks. Most of our survival was because we were quiet because our teacher told us Freddy Krueger was outside. It scared us so bad that we were complying by our teachers commands and it saved all of us. With technology being advanced today, why do school slayings happen? We need to train our kids better to prevent cowardice acts like this.
It breaks my heart, those beautiful children were locked in a room with that monster for an hour.... I'm sick of hearing about these senseless killings!! Something has to change!!
A gut wrenching, heartfelt exercise in futility, the biggest crime for these so called law makers. It shouldn't be lost on anyone at this point these elected officials have gone to Washington to serve themselves and not the people.
Who voted them in though? Are Americans just that fkn lazy they can't be arsed to look up someone before they go to the polls?????? Why the hell is it that the most corrupt, mad, useless grifting person on the list gets elected almost every time????? Your children are dying. America is supposed to be a democracy, what are you doing complaining about politicians you voted into government????????? And btw this guy, is one of the good ones.
I'm curious, why do you never focus on why they did such extreme actions to end their lives, but only on guns? As far as I know, most school massacres in the United States are related to school violence, and most schools fail to protect these victims of school violence, or even provide assistance to the perpetrators, causing these people to use extreme methods to end their lives. Why do you never pay attention to these? Ignoring is the root of the problem. You ignore the essence of the problem and only consider the issue of guns. Even if there are no guns, things like this will happen in the United States.
Typical democrats propaganda! they gonna use this to push gun control laws. This explains why senator Chris have a script ready on stand by mode lmao 😂😂

I never drop my children off and assume they are safe at school. I’m a firefighter and truly believe that they are in more danger at school than I am on the job.
When he said, " this is the only country that deals with mass school shootings" that was an eye opener. And, he's actually right. I can't remember seeing anything on the news about school shootings in other countries.

"Regulating" all the guns away will do something much worse than any school massacre. Governments have murdered hundreds of millions, if not billions of people. Government is far more scary than a lone coward with a gun.
The solution is not less guns, it's MORE guns. If teachers could carry firearms, and "gun-free" zones abolished, there would be far less massacres, or at least would stop potential massacres from occurring.

@@8thdayadventist911 are you trolling?
@@8thdayadventist911 As a multiple victim of gang gun violence, I was about to rebuttal your comment. But, my daughter's teacher has a gun, safely hidden, for situations like this. My children have had at least two shooters, alone just this year, attempt to enter the building but were intercepted by police as they are right next door to the school. I feel my children are more protected with a carrying teacher then without. They have to push a specific button, which sounds an alarm through the whole school, to be able to access the gun.
On the other side, if a teacher decides to go rogue, obviously the children are no longer safe in those brief moments.
This conversation alone is beyond scary, given the choices.
@@Gr8fulnomad It is terrifying. And there isn’t going to be a perfect answer. When I was still in school, a middle school teacher lost it, locked his students in the classroom, and threatened them with a chair if they moved, even after the bell rang. I know someone who is dealing with being molested by a teacher decades ago. I can’t imagine what might happen if teachers like these had guns in their classrooms. Not to mention the risk of one being stolen by a student to possibly use on others-or themselves.
If someone is going to have a gun around children, then I want them to be trained as much as anyone in our military-no, more, because even most military personnel aren’t allowed to walk around a base with a loaded weapon. The military keeps everything locked up tight, and every piece of equipment and ammo is counted after any training exercises. Even people in the military with jobs that greatly involve firearms, like snipers, can’t walk around with a loaded weapon. The military is _very_ strict about it.
Why would we want our kids in a place where the rules about guns are more lax than even in our own military bases?
I fully believe that if there are more guns, than there are just more opportunities for people who are mentally ill or suicidal or enraged to kill someone on any given day. Or to threaten someone, or to terrify someone into doing something they don’t want to do.
@@8thdayadventist911 so why does an 18 year old need two assault rifles? To protect himself from the government or to go out and massacre a bunch of children? You cry that we need guns to protect ourselves from the government but can’t even protect ourselves from each other. You’re brainwashed and delusional, allowing 18 year olds to buy a weapon is no different than handing a weapon to a child, because that’s exactly what it is.

Not true,weve asked over and over for mental health upgrades and substance abuse prevention,weve asked to put guards on these schools for years,there was 190 billion given for covid in schools that has barely been touched so saying they have no money is bullshit,guards would work look at courthouses and sporting arenas ,etc,they both have armed guards,all of the rich have armed guards with weapons the average citizens cannot get ,why dont we give this a shot?

When my child went to the headstart program in our town, all the parents & children would meet twice a month, to support each other & have the chance to reach out to families who were struggling in anyway and provide each other with help
Why can't we do this same in each classroom across America !? Helping each other, and our children will benefit from a safe, social environment, and so would parents. Having said that, a parent or child that doesn't come to any meetings can be reached out to, with the hope of finding the family healthy & fully intact..and if there is an issue, reached out to, with love, digression, and compassion for help.
I feel terrible for these parents and as a teacher, I am beyond frustrated. There are people right now accusing teachers of indoctrinating students, of being pedophiles or being so many terrible things. Please remember that it is teachers who are the ones who step between the gunman and the children. Our goal is to protect children, to nurture them, to assure that they are ready to move on to the next grade. We are also the ones who must protect them from all the terrible things out there in the world that are trying to come onto school campuses and hurt these precious children. Something needs to be done, enough is enough and I wonder who has to face a catastrophic event in this world before someone steps up and says enough is enough and actually does something about it.
Well said! As a high school teacher, the answer is NOT to put more guns in schools, especially grades 7-12. Do we not think that if kids can figure out how to get around a firewall that they couldn't figure out how to pick a lock where a teacher's gun is stored?!
We protect our money in banks, we have security in the airport even, so why not in schools. It's the crazy people not the guns, guns just sit and do nothing it takes an evil person to do this deed. Fortify schools, the kids wanna be crazy at these schools put in metal detectors. Don't take our rights away over a few crazy kids, they're doing it make them have some inconvenience. This 18 year old had a pistol that was already illegal. People going to commit murder don't care about gun laws! Gunlaws aren't helping anything it's time to do something different. The democrats have an agenda and jump right on a crisis as you can see here. Our firearms are needed in this day and age with the threats of war and everything else!
@Gaydolf Shitler you need to join the russian army and be a real man.
First of all, not all teachers are bad. Everyone knows that, but to act like there aren't teachers doing exactly the things you attempted to discredit is dishonest. They're uploading videos of themselves doing & discussing the very things you listed all over tik tok, YT & more, they just don't call themselves indoctrinators.
The problem is they need better school safety measures and there needs to be a ban on assault rifles (weapons with rapid-fire ammunition capabilities) specifically, not handguns. I have personal reasons in my own life that I need a handgun for personal safety. Rapid-fire ammunition weapons with magazines are always present in massacres.
(I'm an independent, not a Republican or a Democrat).
You ask, basically, "What's it going to take before the pro-gun people in Congress decide to DO something about these murders?"
In my small town of almost 30,000, there was an intersection where fatal accidents just kept happening because there was no traffic light.
There were editorials in the paper, there were marches, phone calls, petitions......but never a traffic light. People kept dying.
Then on a summer Friday night when all the teenagers were out as usual the daughter of a very wealthy and powerful dentist got killed at that intersection. There was a traffic light put up within 10 days.
Does that answer your question?
I’ll always remember Obama’s speech, with tears rolling down his eyes, when Sandy Hook happened. I knew things would never change if an event that horrific didn’t change gun laws. Exactly 10 years later, here we are. This country is a disgrace.
Those crocodile tears?
Agreed 😓❣️🤬
Tears do no good...we have plenty of money for all the stupid things that our so called leaders want but what did they do after Sandy Hook...nothing. Our schools should be armed camps. What have they done about the mentally ill roaming the streets - nothing. Like the man said - only in America.
We had guns in this country hack in the 70s and 80s and the 90s and no shootings. The only thing that has changed is we have less morals, and have gone more democrat leaning. So maybe liberals are the problem.
Yep! Let’s take away the rights of women and give more guns to anyone who wants them. Abbott now has blood on his hands. We can not forget about these children who are dead for no reason and the blame goes to Abbott!

You're right, Edward. Sandy Hook should have been enough of a wake-up call to stop seeling guns to people with any mental illness history.
Cnn calls it a school shooting instead of mass shooting. I guess because the shooter isn't white. Cnn reserves that title for whites only.

Chris Murphy is absolutely right, shooting schools are only happening in North america, then its not happening anywhere else in there world, not even in Europe where i live, Spain. Europe must show example about gun control.

That was a powerful statement from Senator Chris Murphy, and he is clearly fed up with all of these senseless mass casualties that occurred due to mentally ill people that shouldn't have even been allowed to own guns.
Is it because they are white??
It isn't just the mental ill. It's anyone with the money to buy a gun, it's anyone that owns a gun that has a working hand. It's kids, it's the person sitting next to you on a bus, a the table next to you, anyone!
Clode: Except for some more "thoughts and prayers" and another immediate spike in gun/ammunition sales NOTHING will change. Unfortunately.
@@FransBoucken lol you're wrong about the mentally ill part. Makes sense.
There will always be mentality ill people, and people that are mentally ill without documentation saying they're mentally ill. Those people can buy a gun with no issue in most states. People vary a lot. You can be stable all your life, buy a gun, then lose it a week or 20 years later. But you have that gun to do something crazy because it's your right to have that gun. The guns need to go
I vividly remember seeing Columbine on my TV as a 13 year-old, terrified to go back to school because what if one of my bullies brought a gun? Jesus, I can't imagine what the Sandy Hook children felt, and what the Uvalde children are feeling right now. Imagine kids with VETERAN levels of PTSD at their age. And so for me to sit here...23 f*cking years later, 10 years after Sandy Hook...and NOTHING has been done? It's hard not to be completely cynical, because I'm 99% sure we'll be doing the exact same thing we've done for another 23 years. And what's really nuts? All the survivors of all these events have to sit there and be traumatized again and again as we continue to do nothing. What a f*cking disgrace.
i remember the aftermath of columbine, at my high school if you made any terroristic threat of any kind they would have police show up and you would get suspended/ expelled. It was defiantly known not to joke around about school shootings. I couldn't of imagined this is how it would be years later.
I agree. It’s is a complete slap in the face.
No amount of bodies will ever match the amount of money they've been paid to look the other way. That's the sad truth.
Republicans are babies KILLING!!!!
I remember Columbine I was a freshman in high school. I remember my teachers were doing their best to try to explain it to us in school the next day.
For those who say we need armed teachers and more securities in schools. That is not a solution. What would do for super market, church, stores, etc. Are you going to have cashiers and pastors armed? Should every American have weapons in their hands every day?
So true. That argument is so flawed and it’s worrying that so many people agree with it.
Read the comments of Americans, not a single one mentioned banning guns, you guys are great

Someone very close to me (in WA State, which is NOT known for having relaxed gun laws) has been diagnosed with mental illness and has attempted to commit suicide on more than one occasion...and she has access to an entire arsenal of guns in her home! The gun laws in this country are just CRAZY!
When is America going to wake up and see that what we're doing just isn't working? When will it finally be enough? The sad truth though is that the people who have the most guns will never give them up because they think they have a God given right to have them and vocally proclaim that they'll have to be pried from their "cold, dead hands". So who knows if any legislation will actually end up making any measurable change. But the silence from lawmakers is positively deafening. The GOP care more about deciding what a woman can do with her body than gun reform and it speaks volumes about where our priorities really are in this country.
Mental illness is often the fallback position whenever there is a mass shooting, but we need to accept that sociopaths walk amongst us. These are people with a deep seated grievance against society and some of them act out their rage.
The GQP and their heel dragging to pass any substantive, comprehensive common sense gun laws over the last 20 years are responsible for this kind of tragedy.

They are all forgetting one component of a gun that could be restricted by age or totally banned - Cartridges. Guns are useless without Cartridges. If gun ownership cannot be restricted because of the 2nd Amendment, the Constitution doesn't mention anything about restricting the Sale of Cartridges and/or the components of building a cartridge. Remember, A gun is useless without cartridges.
The fact that a United States Senator must literally BEG on the house floor for the safety of our children....😔 Is depressing, and makes me feel ashamed. We must draft and vote for laws much like Australia has...we must put an emphasis on mental health, starting with children, and on PREVENTION...not just on "what to do if..."... We need to do better America. Let's work together... Teach our children tolerance, acceptance, and how to properly deal with emotions like anger and rage. We're running out of tears....💔😢😭
Getting a gun should require at least the same as driving a car......a test to get a permit to practice driving with a licensed adult, a full course on how to, another test to finally get a license. Guns should require registration and full insurance at time of purchase. Not everyone will like this ... But at least our children will have a greater chance of coming home from school and our parents from the supermarket.

Why aren’t republicans talking about this?? Seems like they love bashing liberal cities (that are basically overpopulated and the violence is most likely bound to happen due to that) but in the red state’s according to republicans is more safer and with everyone carrying guns crime is less likely to happen…..so why is this 💩 happening? This is literally worse than what happens in gang related crimes In liberal cities. What in the world did these kids do to deserve this? I can guarantee this shooter walked into a gun store and bought the gun with no problem.
If you live in Texas it’s time you vote out the republicans who stand in the way of sensible gun control laws.
This is heartbreaking, I was helping a customer on the call earlier when I heard his TV background saying about a breaking news where 14 children were killed. I cried during the call and I have to ask the customer to be placed on hold, so that I could calm myself. My nieces are of the same age and they are living in the US. And we are people of color. I feel afraid for the safety of my love ones living there in the US. After the Buffalo incident here we are again. I just hope they go back here so that we could take care of them.
Hello Dawn,
I read what you wrote under this video. I wish I could imagine how you feel about what happened yesterday. I too have nieces as well albeit much younger than your own and I have three cousins representing the minority around your nieces' age.
Three of my friends got their lives stolen this way and one of my sister's friends also died from suicide this way.
It turned out to be even worse than you heard yesterday. Nineteen children and two teachers didn't need to go by a massacre.
I have no problem showing sympathy, condolences or even thoughts when things like that happen. Important policies that would help stem the gun violence is needed in this country. I just refuse to accept that gun violence would continue to be the way it is. You and I likely both know that the gun violence here has gotten too much and common to the point of being senseless. I know this is so hard and difficult for you, but I hope your nieces are safe and sound.
Signed,
Seun, a caring person.

I'm curious, why do you never focus on why they did such extreme actions to end their lives, but only on guns? As far as I know, most school massacres in the United States are related to school violence, and most schools fail to protect these victims of school violence, or even provide assistance to the perpetrators, causing these people to use extreme methods to end their lives. Why do you never pay attention to these? Ignoring is the root of the problem. You ignore the essence of the problem and only consider the issue of guns. Even if there are no guns, things like this will happen in the United States.
@@monsterrex8929 People do but for the uneducated, they get defensive when people point out the obvious problem. There's a difference between a self defense weapon and a weapon made for killing efficiently. The same people who are pushing gun control have also been pushing for broader access to medical and mental care. Guns should not be allowed in society if mental health treatment is inaccessible to millions of the same people.
@@monsterrex8929 Bullying is a big issue too in countries like Japan and South Korea, you could argue it's even worse yet mass shooting aren't as prevalent, those 2 countries restrict guns access much more than the USA.

@@Blaze6432 The gun issue is not the point at all. You should unite the public to have a big social discussion, instead of splitting up and fighting each other. The essence of the gun issue is individual rights. Those who own guns do not want to be deprived of weapons that they can resist. They rebel against the corrupt government and for the people themselves. You don’t want to own guns, but you also want to protect yourself, but the methods are different. Your essence is the same. You need to find a balance and put pressure on the government, not attack other people. , Raise the flag for politicians, you have the right to discuss your own interests, but it is obvious that you have not used this right but become partisans of politicians, attacking each other.

Please, America, wrong this right to own a gun! WRONG THIS RIGHT, NOW!
No gun sale for a guy aged 25 and younger
Majority of mass shooting crimes that happened recently came from young boys aged 17 to 21 ,it is now a pattern, once teenagers turn into a manhood they start shooting, they need more time to be more mature and responsible before holding a gun, I think 25 years or older is good age to start holding a gun.and put in consideration the effect of action video games and violence toys that mothers give their boys at a young age which make them more violent because they think being aggressive and violent is part of masculinity.

There needs to be something of importance that gets done, do not let these kids die in vain. Do something for their sake.
Sure. Start by revoking mandates for bullies to attend school.
If they only make trouble, then they have no right to education.
By throwing bullies away, we can protect victims from suicide, and eventually replace innocent pot smokers in prison with bullies who inevitably turn criminal.
Bullies need to be the sacrificial pigs here, to save the victims.
And it isn't even a sacrifice, if you ask me.

I have been a lifelong republican until 4 years ago. Became independent. This is happening too much in our country. This is a combination of the hate and division all of our politicians promote to keep power and a fun lobby that makes no sense. Shotguns and rifles for hunting are one thing but how are people getting handguns with no background checks and cooling periods. This senator is right. This doesn't happen in other countries. We all need to change. To heal to work together and to quote hating one another.
I agree completely. I’m a 2A supporter for the most part but we have to make changes. I’m in OK and you can literally meet a private citizen in a gas station parking lot and buy a gun with cash and not even as much as giving the person you’re name, let alone doing a background check. It’s ridiculous.
You asked.....How are people getting handguns with no background checks? BY BREAKING THE LAW!
Same way they'll get them if they take them away only the criminals you think criminals will give their guns up lawfully and nut jobs will have them it's a awful terrible thing and my heart goes out to all of them but I worked for the school system for 27 years and all they do is tell everybody their mentally ill well they're making them mentally ill feeding their heads with b******* you see what we're getting telling boys they're girls girls their boys identify as a cat putting kitty litter boxes in the bathrooms to defecate in for people identifying as cats tell me they're not making them mentally ill. All over the news channels your mentally ill you need to go see this person you need to go see that person well hell yeah they're mentally ill that's the way they teach to be it's not just guns they're shoving them in front of subways they're stabbings bombs beating them to death Don't you see they've taught these generations to hate and the ones teaching them are the professors that's in there now that they taught to be hateful hell look at them I blame them they're turning these kids in to nutcases and tragedies like this has happening .. and for what further political game it's what it all boils down to political gain God will get them for it their day of judgment is coming. You don't need to be left or right you need to be on top of things and see what the hell's going on in these colleges and now all the way down to the elementary schools

I come from a military family, and the neighborhood i grew up with was mainly wwII vets. I never saw any guns in my fathers friends houses, the vets never talked about the war or was buying guns for protection. We never had a shooting in our neighbor hood, so there should be total reform of guns law. I have a right as a human being to go outside an enjoy my life, without worrying about getting shot as i shop or enjoy the outside. The gun owners have had their chance to show responsibility to own a gun, so now its our turn to take our country back from the nutcases who own guns.
Seriously, how many gun nuts actually sign up for service?
You’re doing a great job
Yeah. They understood the power of a gun and the value of life. The way I see it, people who shouldn’t have guns are the ones who seek them out most often. There are 100 reasons our culture has influenced this shooter’s decision, but I think it’s the overt and extreme psychopathy of the way the second amendment is interpreted and understood by the court that is at the root of this problem. People need to be licensed to drive cars, operate heavy machinery, etc., but, “oh, you want 10 assault rifles!? Step right up, bucko! I’ll throw in some free body armor!” This needs to be fixed or America is done.

Oh yeah because it's the gun's fault. He was already committing a crime. Adding one more loophole will not stop or slow these people down. The guns are here to stay. They are not the issue.
It's unbelievable just how short our memories are.
from a non American, I can't understand why your government doesn't do anything about it. It's always a few days of "we need to really do something" then the news dies after a few weeks till another shooting. So sad and tragic.
The government can't do anything about this. This is the responsibility of the parents and the school. The government is not omnipotent.

I remember back I 86 I was in kindergarten and my teacher took a call from the classroom phone. She sounded nervous but calm at the same time. She then told us to hide under our desks and she closed the drapes. As she was locking the windows I saw adjacent classrooms being locked up by the teachers. It was 1230pm give or take and the school looked closed down. I heard our doorknob move around but it stopped. Then we heard someone trying to open the other classroom doors nearby. Later on we found that some guy escaped from a mental health facility miles away from us. He previously went to that elementary school when he was a kid. He also raped and killed and tortured some children. I thank God everyday that our teachers were fast and brave. We were sitting ducks. Most of our survival was because we were quiet because our teacher told us Freddy Krueger was outside. It scared us so bad that we were complying by our teachers commands and it saved all of us. With technology being advanced today, why do school slayings happen? We need to train our kids better to prevent cowardice acts like this.
It breaks my heart, those beautiful children were locked in a room with that monster for an hour.... I'm sick of hearing about these senseless killings!! Something has to change!!
