  1. I hope all you crazy deluded Republicans in red states will see this now as a reminder on why we need gun restrictions and background checks. The logic is red states is everyone should own a gun no matter if they are sane or insane. Had there been background checks and restrictions in place that lunatic coward would have even been able to get guns. Guns dont fix all of lifes problems.

  2. God, this is so painful. How we, the people, be ok with this type of thing? Why oh God

  3. Stop blaming police, if society will fix their crap none of this would happen. Blame society not police. This has been going on for yearssss and nothing has changed. This is government not the police

  4. We live in such a suck reality !
    Texas police be ready to pull up to a scene least then 10 mins in minor situations and with African Americans!! Fucking cowards let a scum bag with babies for that long!!! Your job is to put your lives on the line and for damn sure the youth!! America fucking sucks we’re as good as a communist governed area if this continues

  5. So sad I'm crying these cops are freaking cowards

  6. Those children are heroes, they sacrificed their lives for the second ammendment, good job.

  7. Is it really a good idea to keep interviewing these kids who went through such a traumatic experience? Does it help them? Or maybe media is taking advantage for clicks and ratings. It's like we are all accepting/embracing this as a norm, kids gotta go to school bearing in mind it might be the day the die.

  8. If anything like this really happened there would have been instant news coverage as it was going on we only saw the aftermath which is very fishy

  9. Omg! My heart is hurting!

  10. Cant rely on cops on anything anymore there pretty much usless

  11. This is just so sad. Who in there right mind should ever do this. Horrible. Just horrible. This is sickening. these young children didn’t even get to live there life. So many young kids. They are all so innocent. I can’t even explain how upsetting this is. I’m so sorry for every single family who I’d mourning a lost loved one. They all deserved to live there life to the fullest. Just know They are with God now. He is watching them closely. My heart goes to the ones struggling with the loss of a loved one<3.

  12. As many school shootings as there has been over the years I think it's a clear sign its not safe to send our kids to school anymore let us teach our children the basics they need right at home.

  13. RIP ANGELS GOD BLESS THEM ALL πŸ˜­πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ•ŠοΈ

  14. Noah my heart goes out to you ,β™₯️ and Samuel sending my prayers lil man❀️ !!! Just horrific this has happened πŸ˜₯my prayers from Australia πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ™πŸ€

  15. How can any of us send our children back to school?

  16. Pathetic, Police officers are afraid to go out and kick the doors where the gunman was barricaded himself with kids and teachers Why, why, why, they knew that there’s shooting inside classroom, what was they waiting for??? Pathetic, those police officers should surrender their badge, they shouldn’t be working as police officers if they cannot even protect the people, especially childrens??πŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌπŸ‘ŽπŸΌ

  17. Why did the teacher prop the door open and walk back to the classroom? Is anyone talking about this? That teacher let the gun man in!

  18. 2:49 Oh my god, I think that's the same woman who was in a nurse outfit in the videos of the police holding back parents. She was on the ground crying her eyes out while two people were comforting her, and the cops were literally just standing there while her daughter was killed. I can't even imagine what absolute hell the past few days have been for her.

  19. My heart hurts for those beautiful little souls, the two teachers and their love ones. I'm very heartbroken those beautiful souls had to encounter that DEMON … πŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎπŸ™πŸΎ

  20. All Mexican descendant children, I wonder if they were white blind with blue eyes how things would be different.

  21. These Students should never ever have to experience this terror for years to come as specialist teams from the Police and Sherrif's departments and other specific Government Agencies are specifically trained to rapidly enter sites where Active Shooters are present and effectively isolate the offender(s) and if necessary neutralize the threat immediately

  22. Something got to happen to make schools safe. Lock schools down during school. I don't know. It's so heart wrenching πŸ’” 😒 😞 those semi automatic guns should be illegal. The age to have a gun should be bumped up. 77 minutes for cops to finly do something is so so wrong. !! Complete communication problem

  23. I have grandchildren that age, and cry each time I see this !!

  24. This is too sad.πŸ˜ͺ🌹

  25. THEY COULD HAVE EITHER BEEN ALL SAVED WITHIN THAT 1 HOUR AND 17 MINUTES AND OR AT LEAST AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, IM NOT TRYING TO BE HARSH WHEN I SAY THIS NEXT PART : IF ALL THE COPS HAD ENTERED AT THE SAME TIME, THE SHOOTER CAN ONLY POINT HIS WEAPON AT ONE AT A TIME, YES SOME ONE OF THE POLICE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT BUT AT LEAST THE COPS ALL COULD GAVE SHOT HIM IN THAT MOMENT AND SAVED OTHER CHILDREN AND THE TEACHERS !
