Aww, I am sorry 😞
Thank Abbott/NRA and those who voted for uncontrolled access to AR-15s. It will get waaay worse!
The gun epidemic in the US is out of control, I stg
We dont need this. It must be stoped
Glad you, yours and othersare ok.
That’s why I always carry my uzi in the jacuzzi.
she hid in the bathroom while others were getting slaughtered. stop it bimbo
Poor mama bear your a great mom very brave forsure
messed up
And republicans won’t do crap about it till one day it god forbid it would happen to them …think buzzholes had any common sense at this point…🤨🤨🤨
I LOVE MEN
That's flight mode, not fight mode. 👍🏻😁
Lord have mercy cause this is traumatizing
Shakira at the end
Wait wait!! You said you went on fight mode and but you hid in the bathroom??
US with GUNLAWS is sick..
Without proper uniform or badging you could be easily mistaken as the shooter please do as she did an hide if you have no idea where the shooter is an are armed, dont chase after them like you are a trained police officer people be smart
Either thoughts and prayers don’t work or you’re not thinking or praying hard enough.
So what is it, republicans?
They won’t tell you who the shooter is because he’s a white supremacist.
Republicans want you to accept this as a normal part of life.
Good thing she was there with a gun to stop this, otherwise that shooter could have killed 8 people. More guns is definitely the answer, as displayed here. I'm glad the tragedy was avoided by all these guns.
Sorry but who want to live in a steady state of panic. Anyone anywhere get ride of Abbot
Such a sweet nurse and mom. Glad she made it and her daughters.
I call bs
Trump Supporters might wanna cool ot on the shootings before the elections, just saying 🤷♂️
Crisis actor
So terrifying
She had a gun so she ran in a bathroom good job. To protect everyone in there. If you can't use it why carry it. Gun ain't gonna make u brave if u ain't already 😂
🤦♀️ Ready to protect. Would you have known the difference between another parent, 'ready to protect', and the active shooter? Praise the Lord you did not fire your weapon. Praise the Lord you and your daughters are not among the casualties. 🫂🫂🫂
So why didn't she take out the shooter?
Super sad – thought/prayers, etc… but NO GUN CONTROL. It's unconstitutional. Thanks.
Awww don’t cry.. I’m so sad …
You go mama! Protecting your family and you did well!❤
Some of you are ridiculous. She pulled her weapon and barricaded herself, prepared to defend herself, her kids, and everyone else in the room… Which is exactly what I'd want my wife, daughter, or mother to do….. SURVIVE and protect your family and those barricades with you.
You expect this woman/nurse/mother to go full call of duty and grunt walk through the fking mall, hunting for the shooter, abandoning her kids?? NO. She did exactly what she should have done.
“Fight mode” is different from “running and hiding” which is what you did.
I'm sorry for everyone that was caught in this horrible situation. My prayers I give.
Don’t hide from an active shooter if u are armed. If you are armed, search and destroy.
Texas and red states like Texas want these incidents to take place. These shootings stoke fear, which leads to gun sales sky rocketing. They make money off of all this murder.
When will Americans say enough prayers so god will stop demanding dress dead babies blood in her evening cocktails.
What's the point of talking about it because you can never fix gun violence because of the fears of white people especially white men. If the majority of guns were in the hands of Black people, there would be serious gun control and restrictions immediately
A lot of idiots talking big game. I’d rather have a gun and survive, protecting my family than not having one at all. Regardless of the outcome, her priority was her family, and that should be commended. None of this, “oH sHe HaD a GuN, wHy DiDnT sHe StOp ThEm?” Not everyone is a federal agent or trained officer. Her job wasn’t to take out the shooter, it was protecting her family, and it baffles me that people would think differently. It just goes to show some people have too much time on their hands to fret over the objectively good intentions of others, and still find a way to complain. Thank God she and her daughters are safe.
Done! I just can't. Can't take seriously anyone who hasn't had the cajones to confront any of the obvious false flags such as Nashville (Shooter 4shoes) as they insult our discernment by pretending to dive into the facts of this or any shooting.
America is under attack, and most of the attacks are false flags. Yes. MOST.OF.THEM.
