  1. How many more kids that have to die before changes are made.

  2. It sure wasn’t a act of God it was a act of Satan. Read your Bible people.
    1 Peter 5:8 ESV

    Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

  3. You failed them , your fired. Go find a safer job like being a teacher ?

  4. We need to teach our children ,,grandchildren and anyone you can teach to love one another! There is so much hate in our world! Please pray that parents start worrying about the most important job they have raising good loving ,respectful kids! Kids today need to know how precious each person's life is I dont thank they have a clue because people are not teaching their kids right from wrong!

  5. I understand that the shooting where his my was killed is horrible. The school shooting are not about black's or white's these evil people want to kill anyone in their path.

  6. Solve ALL of our problems…. make it open season on Republicans.

  7. The mayor of Uvalde is a REPUBLICAN. He is part of the COVER-UP.

    The first obligation of gov't is to protect public health and safety. But, from Gov. Abbot on down, they are protecting THEMSELVES, NOT public safety.

    They are not defending gun rights; they are defending mass murder.

  8. Im astonished to see the comments… NO GUN -> NO MASS SHOOTING! It’s that fuckin simple
    SMH..

  9. The community of Uvalde will have many years of healing. It is a small community where people know each other. The media is only adding to the problems by interviewing people who are raw like this teacher whose 11students died. YouTube now has interviews of the Columbine survivors who talk about their continuing problems after so many years. There are also interviews with Sandy Hook parents. Media is only adding to the pain and division in this community.

  10. Remember when teachers didn't want to arm themselves? Does the teacher realise if he had a gun whilst working in a school in the most dangerous country in the world he himself could of helped.
    The decision for armed teachers is down to each school. He chose to work and not have one.
    If you work in an American school it should be mandatory to have gun training & be armed.
    America needs to stop being delusional, it's not lala land. It's America.
    Egypt has armed police on every hotel. You guys can't even protect your kids? Is America poor?

  11. I hope those police officers all of them that were at the school that day have nothing but horrible karma come their way..

  12. No gun control- no change!!! Greetings from Germany where students learn at school and not get shot….

  13. Maybe you can get sheriff Judd Grady from Florida to go over there in Texas to teach these cowardly punks a thing or two but one thing that can't be taught is to be brave

  14. Teachers having to secure their own classrooms because Democrats refuse to harden schools. Every Factory requires a secure entry, every bank has massive security and yet we can't create a safe environment for kids when they're inside the school. Every vehicle on the road is required to have seatbelts and it is the law for us to use them and yet school buses don't even give you a choice because there are no seat belts. The Democrats claim it would take too much money to do these things and yet they just shelled out trillions of dollars for nothing and they want everyone including the poorest taxpayer to pay for the school loans of elite college students who seem to think everything should be handed to them on a silver platter.

    How many times have I heard, "you don't need guns because the police will protect you". The performance of the police in this case is proof positive that the second amendment should never be compromised in any way.

  15. This teacher's life will never be the same, Lord, have mercy. It is plain to see that the police of Uvalde, failed these children and there is no excuse all need to be held accountable, the death of these children, their blood will forever be on their hands.

  16. Hear that? White people don’t like black people because “they’re afraid they’ll TAKE AWAY THEIR JOBS”! Didn’t I tell you that this was caused by capitalism?? Every problem, including hatred’s, are caused by THE WAGE SYSTEM called capitalism! Wake up!

  17. This is very sad, i would like to ask for those who have more information, were the classrooms the shooter entered locked? and Did he broke the doors down and enter each of the classroom? I thought that once any active shooting in school each classroom should be locked.

  18. The NRA bullied the Buffalo elected official out of re-running all because he said we should have more gun responsibility. All we need is more responsibility with guns. Smart gun laws can save lives

  19. I guess these cowards didn't realize that the job they chose for their profession "police officers", is that part of their job is to get their fucking asses in there and do their job.

  20. My rights don't end where your feelings begin.

  21. Maybe elect a guy President who won't destroy the economy?

  23. I only wish the NRA and its jellyfish, well-paid supporters in legislatures both State and Federal would be careful to recite the whole of it, and then tell us how a heavily armed man, woman, or child, recruited by no official, led by no official, given no goals by any official, motivated or restrained only by his or her personality and perceptions of what is going on, can be considered a member of a well-regulated militia.

  24. I am a teacher at an elementary school in Texas. We will not achieve any meaningful gun reform laws, and the police were/are cowards who cannot be relied upon. I believe teachers should be allowed to be armed (allowed not forced) and should receive proper training. A teacher would never sit helplessly while their class was massacred if they had a chance to make a difference. While they are at it, they should add a security guard’s salary to those teacher’s paychecks, since teachers are paid far too little. Gun reform would be better; but it simply won’t be passed and the Supreme Court will strike it down if it is.
