I've seen lots of documentaries focusing on the evil man who committed this crime. Thank you for paying tribute to the poor victims and telling their backstories. Excellently narrated and sensitively presented 👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My sentiments exactly, I am at a loss for words.
This is a wonderful tribute to the children & teacher, who lost their lives.
God bless the doves & the angels.🙏🙏
There aren’t ‘lots’
@@carltonthepugwhy focus on this rather than the sentiment of the post. I could argue that you are wrong but it's not the place or rather not the point.
@@carltonthepug That's literally such a pointless thing to try to argue about.. wtf
@@carltonthepughope your dogs are taken from you
I feel especially sympathetic for that father who lost both his wife to cancer and his only child in this horric event some people really don't have any luck in life at all
And the woman attending the memorial for her husband as her child is being murdered. How do you survive such loss?
My first thought too. Poor guy. Hope he's doing ok now.
@@TheDriftwoodloverI could never.
@@TheDriftwoodloverDear god that's so unfair😢.
$h!t always gets worse before it gets better in a lot of my life experiences 😢I pray he has better in his life after the worst in which I'd think anyone would have to endure such as he has
I knew Thomas Hamilton 10 years before the shooting, and apart from being horrified and heartbroken at this outrage, I was utterly shocked that he had licensed guns. Because trust me, he was a creep with anger issues, whom I would not have trusted with a peashooter.
Why would he turn his anger on little children though? People like this definitely should not have any gun license.
@teijaflink2226 targeting children hurts everyone, including worldwide.
A workplace mass shooting, while tragic, doesn't inflict as much pain on random strangers.
It angers me that he had the gall to play the victim, let alone his hateful desire to inflict this type of pain on these beautiful children and their teacher. What a coward to boot.
@@teijaflink2226Because he holds more power over children than people his own size and age
He was mentally ill and a criminal. He should have been incarcerated. How many other children's lives did he ruin with his sickness??
Thomas Hamilton was my gymnastics coach for a year. My neighbour used to take me and her son to the class on a Friday night until she told my mum she didn't like the man running it and could no longer take us. The massacre happened 5 years later. My wife and i married at the chapel where many of the children were laid to rest. The priest who carried out the sermon was the same priest who presided over the burials. There is a stained glass window with a dove for every victim beneath a larger dove who represented Gwen. I remember at the practice the day before the wedding when he told us all about the window and we listened in absolute silence. It was very tranquil in that space. Rest in peace.
I had never heard of this story. What a horrible tragedy. The tribute to each child was lovely. Most times all the focus is on the killer and victims are often forgotten. Thank you for sharing the pix and nice details about each child.
The fact that a five year old had the courage to protect his friend breaks my heart! Dear little Kevin was such a hero!
RIP, all these beautiful angels ❤️😢
I'll never understand the slaughter of innocent people but I'll definitely never understand the slaughter of innocent babies.
I dnt think any of us can, total psychopathic monsters
Great way to crowbar in your own forced birth bullshit, you utter fucking psychopath.
That man don’t deserve to breathe I hate when they say need up taking innocent lives they turn the gun on themselves just why take out innocent peoples especially children?? Just why? They never had chance at life!
John Douglas, the man who invented profiling in the US, was in Scotland giving an interview on a totally unrelated crime when this happened. The newscaster came back, told him what had happened, and asked for his insight. Can't recall the book it was in-Douglas has published several- but it was interesting. He pegged this guy's reasons and motives pretty well.
I'm the same age as these babies, born in 1990. I'm a mother now and so endlessly grateful for the parents for taking action, so I never have to worry about sending my babies to school. RIP Angels
Me too, just thinking they'd be our age living their lives.... So heartbreaking
Yeah.. You just have to worry about your child being stabbed to death.
@@awkwardautistic what an awful thing to say
@@awkwardautisticeasier to escape a person running around stavbing people though. Someone can't stab you if you're more than a few feet away but can shoot you from a great distance so...
@rosedapose Don't expect much more, of an ignorant american
This was such a beautiful tribute to those precious innocent babies and their lovely teacher. That sick man avoided Justice but at least he’ll never hurt anyone again. Why couldn’t he just take himself out?
Christ, I couldn't hold in my tears when you started describing all the kids and their unique personalities.
The shock of that day's tragic event was felt as far away as Australia. I remember seeing it in the news here in disbelief and sadness. Thank you for bringing this back to our attention. Those darling angels should always be remembered.
Thankyou for prioritising the stories of the victims. I remember this horrible crime, shortly after I visited the UK. Here in Australia we were able to similarly change our gun laws after Port Arthur. I'm so grateful to be able to send my own child off to school, and to go to work myself without fear of gun violence.
I wish to save enough money soon in order to leave everything and everyone I've ever known my whole life here in the DMV (from Baltimore but live in Washington,DC) just to move somewhere like Australia or Canada. Somewhere I don't have to homeschool my son just because I'm scared I'll send him there one day and he'll never come back 😭 he's literally all I have in this cold world....
Australians now own almost twice as many guns as they did before the change in gun laws. Your fear of gun violence is not based on the number of guns present in society. Something else is causing you to be afraid.
I’m so glad u can send your child to school without any fear, that’s how it should be. U should be able to feel safe yourself and especially sending your child to school. I wish u and your family all the best 😊 xx
@@TheeAlmightyIsisomg your comment broke my heart. U shouldn’t not have to feel safe sending your child to school, it’s awful. I live in the uk so I sympathise with u living in the us, especially with all the school shootings. I Dont blame u for home schooling him. I’m a single mother to a 7 yr old son, and he’s my whole life. My heart goes out to u and your boy. I wish u all the best for the future and your son is 1 lucky boy, cos u seem like an amazing mother who loves her child 😊. Take care xx
@@othertalk3313that is untrue, you might want to do more research & educate yourself more. 🤦🏼♀️
The photos of the children and your descriptions of them seem to match perfectly! You can see the gentleness, the rascally, the silly in their bright faces. They're still quite cuddly at that age if you catch them at the right moment when they aren't busy. Empty arms, aching hearts.
Seeing that teacher Gwen and knowing what happened to her just made me break down. Just because something horrible happens nearly every day (here in the USA), we don’t get used to it. It is deeply distressing and our whole country is suffering from PTSD. It is awful.
No, most people are fine
I'd say most people have gotten used to it or don't even know when another happens. It's barely reported on nationally anymore unless it was particularly deadly.
@@EssexAggiegrad2011Yet some are afraid to visit Applebee's without carrying. Then there is the sky-high suicide rate that includes use of guns. They don't give you the time to change your mind and all for help. Guns get used on impulse for suicide and out of anger at others every day. Or kids are having active shooter drills. We're not all fine.
They should ban all these guns in America, like Europe.
Imagine being such a pathetically small human being that you open fire on innocent, defenseless children because you couldn't be a Boy Scout leader anymore. It's about time we start publicly shaming these disgusting excuses for human beings that think their intensely priveleged "struggles" are a good reason to take the lives of children. We need to call them what they are: cowardly, hollow shells that barely pass as an excuse for a human being.
That said, thank you for teaching us about the personalities of these wonderful children. I held myself together until Kevin Hassell. What a courageous and wonderful young boy; if he was capable of putting himself in the line of fire to save his friend at 5 years old, I can't begin to imagine what amazing things he would have done throughout his lifetime. It's horrible that the world was robbed of such a beautiful people.
Thomas Hamilton is innocent you wrongly accused an innocent and now you are paying price for that so stop accusing anyone wrongly
This was a lovely video. I really appreciated the time you took to tell us about the victims. Rest in peace sweet babies
Lovely video ????????
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I am about the same age as these poor kids were and they should be here in their 30s now. So unfair.
Thank you for this. I am a teacher in the south suburbs of Chicago. Scotland did the right thing after the shooting. In my country we will never change, unfortunately. Too many school shooting, too miany shootings, too much violence.
At the time I was infuriated about the gun ban. But since then and watching shootings take place I agree now
You do know that Chicago has very strict gun laws?? All the shootings there are not from law abiding citizens, right?
Chicago has one of the most gun control laws and the most shootings.
@@shaneschluter Shut up, Shane.
As a American, I am truly amazed by how quickly the UK made mass shootings pretty much nonexistent. Mass shootings have become so normal in my country it doesn’t even surprise us anymore when it happens. The school shooting that shocked me the most was the Newtown shooting because children were most of the victims. After that, I heard about mass shootings anytime and they didn’t shock me. This is NOT okay. RIP to the victims of the Dunblane massacre. I am so glad that the families refused to accept this and fought for change. I wish change will come to America too.
You should be wanting to stop mass murder. I don't see what the weapon of choice has to do with it. America isn't even in the top 3 per capita among all nations in mass shootings. You are fighting the wrong enemy.
America is too large to watch everyone.
I would rather have mass shooting than no rights.
You can't compare the US to Great Britain. Schools remain one of the safest places a child can be. Schools are safer than the homes they live in. Schools are safer than their friends house. Schools are safer than their local church. Schools are extremely safe, even with school shootings. "Mass shootings" has changed its definition multiple times in recent years. Also, studies show that mass shootings are not on the rise, but have been more deadly in recent years. They have become "normalized" because when information became so readily available, everyone became aware of every single incident and that awareness has leveled off.
UK has surpassed USA in knife killings.
Compare the smallest four American states to the UK. I'm sure UK has more knife killings than the smallest for USA states.
UK doesn't have guns but they have knives.
Rest in peace to these poor babies and their teacher. I hope the survivors have been able to heal. The one boy who wasn't shot and hid himself under the dead bodies of his friends...that broke my heart the most. The Sandy Hook massacre was our own version of Dunblane here in the US. Yet unlike the UK, mass shootings continue to happen here because there is such a block against gun control and not allowing private citizens to own assault rifles.
I dunno, with the way schools are now they were probably gonna be lil Hitler's when they grew up anyway.
So was Uvalde😢
You can't own assault rifles (per military definition) in the US. The answer is not so simple as "guns bad." The homicide rate has always been lower overall in the UK going back a century, with mass shooting being even rarer. There have been only five major civilian mass shootings in British history, with 2 out of the 5 being carried out AFTER the Firearms (Amendment) Act of 1997. In terms of mass shootings, the legislation's impact was negligible. In terms of overall homicide rates, it has been mostly the same in the UK (minus Northern Ireland for obvious reasons) with even a slight increases since the early 90s up to 2010s.
Fun fact: a 1927 bombing, not a mass shooting, remains the deadliest attack on a school in US history.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bath_School_disaster
I've often wondered if the reason for the lower homicide rate in the UK is lower because of the NHS--the availability to mental health services is much better in the UK than here in the US.
@@mmoore3743the mental health care in the UK isn't as good as you may think, waiting lost are super long
I am the parent of an only child and grandparent to an only child, I have no idea how i would move on from something like this.
Looking at the faces of these sweet little kids is heartbreaking. Thank you for honoring their lives.
We have, in this case, a completely unsympathetic perpetrator: he was a damned child molester who initially got what was coming to him, and then had the gall to FIGHT it like his rights were violated, and when that failed, he thought he was entitled to kill all the children he couldn't touch anymore.
It also eerily touches on the abuse scandal that afflicted the Boy Scouts here in the States: how many more like him are around the world?
The section focusing on the children and who they were was so touching x
There's a channel called Truth4reality.He does an excellent job at memorializing the victims of senseless crimes. He's the only true crime channel I know of That takes the time at the end of every video to have memorialize them. He doesn't have a fancy channel and it's pretty straightforward.
Thank you for covering this case and being so respectful of the victims of this tragedy. If anyone was going to cover this case I am glad it was a fellow Scot, someone who understands the lasting impact this tragedy continues to have in our country today.
What a beautiful and poignant memorial you've created DC, thank you for making it! Living in America, I knew of the massacre as I was an adult when it occurred but I didn't know that much about it or the aftermath. I certainly didn't hear about the strict tightening of the gun laws in the UK for reasons that I'll deem obvious! Thank you also for pointing out that the perp who killed himself wasn't handled correctly by the authorities from the beginning and that doing so might have prevented this tragedy. Your memorial has given us a powerful tool for both gun laws and laws concerning crimes against children to be tightened greatly! Thanks again! Your work on this channel is always greatly appreciated.
This was one of the most heartbreaking cases that you’ve ever covered. I cannot imagine the trauma and grief of all these families.
😢 A beautiful tribute to each of the little angels.
As soon as i saw the title of this, it was like a stab in the chest. my mum worked at the afterschool club and knew these kids, i am the same age as they would have been. My mum has a copy of that school photo you show at the end. He ran an after school sports club and had been accused of doing things to the kids. the parents of those kids basically got his sports club stopped as no one would send their children to it. he was hoping to get to the school in time for the assembly, but the snow stopped him. So when he got there it was gym class. On the 10 year anniversary it snowed. I still remember clearly sitting in maths in high school and every one just being quiet and watching the snow as we talked about those kids.
I remember coming home from school in Scotland aged 15 and my mum sitting watching the news crying over this saying they were so young and innocent will always remember that
Love your channel and think you make amazing videos. I can't bring myself to watch this. I still remember seeing those little children's faces in the newspaper after it happened. And my mum crying, I think I was too young to fully comprehend what had happened. But I'll never forget seeing my mum cry for all the children and their families. We aren't from Scotland but my mum's heart broke for all those who were murdered that day and the families left behind and now I'm older so does mine.
This case really broke my mums heart. Wen this tragedy happened, the Scottish man who lived 2 doors down from me (I live i the uk btw) his 5 yr old granddaughter was in the class that was fired upon, but luckily she didn’t die, she was injured but she was 1 of the ‘lucky ones’ if u can even say there was lucky ones. I was also 5 yrs old at the time and I can vividly remember all the mums at school were crying and hugging us all. That tragedy affected everyone in the world, I’m a mother to a 7 yr old beautiful boy and the thought of anything happening to him kills me inside. I don’t wish death upon anyone, but y didn’t that bastard just put a bullet in his own head, instead of taking 16 Beautiful children and their teacher. I hope he rots in hell.
Thanks for the time and research given to the tributes to the victims.
Listening to this before bed has me in tears. Such senseless loss and heartache for so many families.
Thank you for sharing this documentary. I've been many times in Dunblane for work and every time I went to the cemetery to pray for these Angels.
I love Dunblane people, I'll never forget this tragedy.
I was OK until you talked about the little girl who wanted to grow up to be an Angel. That broke me. She got her wish along with all these other little angels and their teacher.
It broke me too. Was in floods of tears after that.
Yet no angel was there to save her very sad , born to die too soon and your future stripped away unjustly
Thank you for taking the time to talk about the children and their amazing brave teacher…no words just sorrow. May they all be playing, drawing, singing and dancing in the heavens forever🥺❤️🪁🪀🧸⚽️☀️🌻👼
I remember this day like yesterday. Here in Australia we had Port Arthur just before or just after. They were really close together. Both in the media for months. At the time (in melbourne media anyway) there were tributes to each victim and for those injured. I was 16 at the time and us teens were crying for the kids. It never had to happen.
It's unfathomable how a whole country that happens to be the richest country in the world in 2023 is also so backwards. No political party in Australlia regrets our gun reforms- even those who were opposed to it in 1996. There was A LOT of opposition.
They should opposed it as "gun reform" doesn't work
Thank you for making this video more about the victims than their killer. Such a well made and respectful video ❤
living in the US, it’s difficult to see how other countries have dealt with this problem, to great success, while my own country grows more and more desensitized to violence against children instead of doing anything about the problem.
The UK enacted stricter gun laws. Now our mass killers use knives or cars.
Agreed.
I came here to say this. I am so digusted by the gun violence in this country (US) and the complete lack of willingness to do anything about it. If I were younger and less tied down, I would move to another country.
People here worship guns like god. We have so many problems that could be fixed by looking at what other successful countries have done.
@@LillibitOfHere I think that many in the US worship guns more than god.
Thank you for your sensitivity and focus on the victims in this video. I remember this happening and the shock and devastation around the entire UK.
Hearing you say ‘the *oldest* child to die was 6 years old’, hit hard.
I moved to Australia about 6months after this. I’m so grateful to be from, and live in, countries that have sensible gun control.
As an American I find it appalling that we continue to let this happen on a regular basis when there are multiple examples of countries - Scotland/UK, Australia, Norway to name a few - where one hideous tragedy like this is all it takes for people to take action against allowing similar events to occur. Whereas in America we sit idly by waiting for the next disaster to happen, then cry when it inevitably does. It really illustrates that the emotional relationship Americans have with their guns is stronger than their emotional relationship with people's right to live their lives innocently without being murdered by someone who should never have had access to firearms to begin with.
Amen to this, as an American I agree, wholeheartedly
I agree with you but it would require gun control laws. There are segments of American society that will never allow that. They will allow tragedy after tragedy but never allow restrictions on gun access.
@@lizthedragon sadly, correct, but that's a Republican for ya
Even banning all guns won't stop the violence at this point. It isn't a gun problem... guns have always been available in the US but school shootings weren't a problem until relatively recently. The US is much bigger and has a much larger population... and a 2nd amendment. There is one specific demographic that is responsible for most of the gun violence in the US...
An insane pedophile committed this crime. He took 16 lives and was able to take gun rights away from law abiding citizens. He could have been stopped if something would have been done in advance. The signs were there. They usually are. He already met the criteria to have lost any legal guns.
You did an amazing job with this heartbreaking story.
Thank you for this. Heartbreaking. You brought the children's lives to the forefront. Each and every one sadly missed.
I will never, ever forget that awful day. I was 12 weeks away from having my son. My great grandmother was from Tillicoultry in Clackmannanshire and she was found collapsed at 8am the morning the children died. She died two days later. Thankfully she had never had to hear the tragic news. May they all rest in peace xx
i cried throughout this whole entire video. no parent should ever have to bury their child. but especially little babies who did nothing wrong! they were exactly where they were supposed to be and doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing. RIP to those babies and that brave angel of a teacher. that coward should have taken himself out alone. smh i am heartbroken 💔
One of our greatest athletes of that generation Andy Murray was attending that primary school at the time and his class was due to be in that hall a few minutes later. He almost never talks about it because it was traumatic. Him and his older brother were luckily unharmed but neither speak about it but their mother has spoken and has said she was waiting for ages to hear if they were ok and was relieved because the school managed to get them out to her at the same time but she saw the parents who didn’t have kids running back out to them and felt awful that both her children were returning perfectly fine. His mother also knew the shooter in passing as it was a small town.
Thankfully as a country we were so sad by this tragedy that everyone stood behind those parents as they campaigned and fought to make our government listen. Because of that fight kids in our country are safe at school and shooter drills do not exist. Because of this those kids have never been forgotten in a huge sea of victims no they’re remembered all of them.
I remember during a Wimbledon or Us Open they were talking about that for a bit.
I remember the live news it stayed on for who the children was & I will NEVER forgot the scream of a mother I can still hear it . She must have heard the news her child was dead .
As a substitute teacher, each day I have to enter a classroom and make a mental note of where to hide kids from the door in case of a mass shooter. Most Americans hate this and want gun control, yet we keep electing people who value access to guns more than the lives of children.
That is horrible for you!
"Most Americans hate this."
Not sure where you get your facts but you need to properly educate yourself. If most Americans don't like it, then why do we keep electing officials that are pro firearms? It's in our Constitution, they can't take our guns.
I agree. Most Americans do not hate it. We have a right to bear arms. We’ve had these rights since the beginning of the constitution. And it’s only in recent years that these things have happened. So, maybe it’s a deeper issue of how these latest generations are being raised. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. You think tougher gun laws will keep killings from happening? No. You think someone who WANTS to kill will stop because of gun laws? No.
I completely agree. Gerrymandering has stacked the deck in favor of the minority. The majority want sensible gun control ESPECIALLY to protect our kids. But the fanatic gun zealots are more concerned with unabashed ownership of firearms than the safety of thier children; its so disgusting. Guns are the NUMBER ONE killer of children in the US - not car accidents, not cancer. It's embarrassing to be a citizen of this country; but, hopefully the tides are turning.
@@adairsharon1The people complaining about how these generations are raised mostly come from the generations who were supposed to raise them.
This video is done in such a respectful manner, thank you for that!
Great job on this video, I am sure I am not the only one who cried several times. This doc is so well done, and empathic. Thank you
I just learned about this and my tears can't stop falling 😢. These angels are in peace now. I hope no school and child should ever experience this horrible thing. 😢
Devastating. The time you spent in your tributes to each child was beautiful.
What the UK did regarding gun laws after Dunblane mirrors what Australia did after the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996. The results of these bans were the same.
America, over to you…
This must have been especially difficult to research and cover. Thank you for such a compassionate account of something that happened when I myself wasn’t much older than those poor bairns. Their teachers were amazingly selfless, to the point where one lost her life.
Like you say, I couldn’t tell you when I first learned of this tragedy, I’ve just always known about it.
Rest in peace to each of the victim.
Thank you for another video. I'm always quick to click when I see a new one come up.
Im 32, ive grew up in Edinburgh my whole life, i grew up knowing about this tragedy , ive grew up watching true crime content. Ive never dived into this one - i didnt want to know the details it was just so sad to think about so many families losing their children in one morning. This was the first time ive heard the details and im broken. Those poor babies! If scotland have done anything right its the ban and new laws on guns and that wont change. I cant fathom worrying about sending my kids to school and not coming home , im so sorry for anyone that has and i hope america and other countries start taking their gun laws more seriously.
An absolute horrific crime. You did a beautiful job in telling the stories of these innocent victims. It’s heartbreaking.
I’d imagine this murderer is rotting in hell somewhere, exactly where he belongs.
My husband lived and worked in Dunblane when this happened. He had friends who lost a child from the church he went to and he remembers that day in vivid detail. He funnily enough says after the sirens and the news broke , it was the silence that he remembers , as if the whole place was holding its breath and it was. I have watched a few documetaries on this case but you handled it so beautifully for a case that simply changed he UK , forever.I cannot say what I think of the USA gun culture because I am not from the US, but after Sandy hook and nothing changed.... then I realised it doesn't matter to gun owners, as long as it is never their kids. Marie x
I’m 45 now and I still can’t hear the story without crying. I was just a young soldier then and couldn’t believe we weren’t safe in our own country
This story is heartbreaking all in itself, but the moment u begin naming each child, their best friends from the class and personal details … OMG I LOST IT! I love that u took the time to tell us about each child and the teacher. They were AND STILL ARE more than just a number in the count of ppl who lost their lives in this tragedy. Prayers to u, the community and all the families involved.
Honestly how sick in the mind does one have to be to murder innocent babies like that!?!?! Sane minded people don’t think like that let alone follow through with those horrific actions. Bless those little souls I hope it was quick and painless for them as they slipped away from this world.
Definitely a person with no soul. Hate in place of a soul
This case reminds me of Sandy Hook, and that shooter also has severe untreated mental illness
Im old enough to remember this, so I really hesitated clicking on this video. It never gets any less terrible, but as usual, u treated it with dignity and respect.
I remember when this was reported here in Australia. It was broke through regular programming and was headline news for weeks. I cried so hard for the senseless loss of such innocents. I wanted so hard to wrap my arms around their loved ones and the survivors. I hope that they have been able to find some peace with such loss. I was so angry that the monstrous perpetrator never faced justice.
You are so right that the victims are so much more than that, they were beautiful living people whom should have had the chance to live to their potentials and were/are very treasured to their loved ones. They had characters and emotions and should never be forgotten or become "just a number."
I cried so much listening to you retell this tragedy. I could never have been able to tell it as you without crumbling into tears. It must have been hard for you. May God bless and care for these gorgeous angels.😢😪😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know a family that was involved in this horrible crime
We lived about 12 miles away at the time, so it was very close to home.
I think most of us do.
@@DarkCuriosities it was a very dark week that
Thanks for letting us know.
Horrific story, but incredible job narrating/writing this tragedy. I can imagine how difficult it must of been to make a video about this. ❤
I only wish that America loved their children as much as Scotland loved theirs.
America does. Don’t assume.
What a completely asinine comment!
Jon Stewart makes a powerful argument to a member of government regarding protecting the children in the US…he made an excellent point..I recommend the interview it’s on TH-cam.
@@loveforeignaccents Do you have evidence to the contrary?
@@loriayres7410 Do you have evidence to back up your statement?
thank you for sharing this one ❤! love and condolences to everyone effected by this absolute tragedy!🌙
Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, Australia was the catalyst for gun law reform here. Isn't it a shame that it takes such a tragedy for these laws to be changed. R.I.P to all the victims.
Only a fool gives up their rights
.....and thank you for the beautiful tribute to these victims...very well done....You are becoming one of my favorite crime channels. Your stories are always interesting and respectful
Damn...little Kevin a big hero. The opposite of that coward. This was sad but narrating it must have been so much worse. Hope you take breaks from this stuff. Mind the noggin.
What an absolutely heartbreaking case. I am the same age as these babies, born in 90. My daughter is now 6 and getting ready to start first grade. The poem at the end had my heart and stomach in knots. Rest in Peace, sweet angels.
RIP to all the victims of this tragedy and may he be burning in hell right now for what he did
This was so respectful to the poor children so thank you for your care. Watched our tennis player talk recently about the day, he was in the school at the time in an older class
Difficult to watch, but important to see. Thank you.
The fact that that guy acted out and killed those young kids proved that he deserved to be locked out of working with kids. What he did was truly monstrous and unforgivable.
Children aged 5, dear Lord. May he NEVER find peace.
I really like the fact that the focus is on the children. I am determined to watch all the video as it is important that they are remembered. I am having to watch in stages though because it is so truly heartbreaking.
So, Mr. Badass dressed up in combat cammo to go and shoot a bunch of little kids? Hadn't heard that detail before. POS.
The 100 year ban is frustrating, and seems a bit over the top. I guess there's not much that can be done about it.
So proud of the UK for saying, enough! to this type of violence. Australia, too. Wish folks here in the US will get a clue soon and follow suit.
Thank you so much for all of the bios on these sweet, innocent victims. As usual, wonderful job with a difficult subject.
@KatTheScribe No, we're good with our rights
But a woman with a concealed weapon stopped a massacre at a graduation and only the gunman was hurt just think of the lives saved. You can ban guns but if someone wants one bad enough they will get one
In the US I would scold, "These women died protecting YOUR children but you refuse to limit the use of firearms to protect THEM. What is wrong with you that this is ok? What moral depravity in you thinks owning a lethal toy trumps classrooms full of little kids and their dedicated educator's lives?" May their god have mercy on the souls who do not put value on children's lives. Because no one else will.
Losing an only child is grief compounded. Your future suddenly looks very different and very bleak. It can be very unencumbering. No one to pass family treasures to so why hang on to them. You should have seen the piles of stuff that went to the estate sale when I downsized. Made a few bucks. I'd rather have my son back.
I have to say that you presented this subject very tastefully. Thank you for your wonderful tributes. I used to live in Dunblane and actually lived next to the Dunn family. I had moved into that flat about 3 weeks prior to the massacre. I remember hearing Charlotte’s voice in the stairwell when she was getting her bike out to play. I also remember the vulture media knocking on our door at 9pm a couple of days after it happened, looking for the Dunn family. I pleaded ignorance.
I worked at the local chippy and cannot tell you the feeling around the town in the immediate aftermath. There was a complete silence, but more than that, it was an absence of sound. Eerie. In the days following, I found out about a couple of families from church who had lost children. Heartbreaking doesn’t come close. Years later I worked with the sister of one of the little angels. She was a lovely young lady with a completely broken soul.
Like you said in your closing comments, there is a whole generation of young people who have grown up in the shadow of the massacre. There are those who, whilst not directly affected, still remember like it was yesterday. I know of several back stories that most people will never know. Of all the ones I know, the one overriding factor is the strength and compassion of people who have lost everything, despite having experienced some of the most horrific situations that anyone could go through.
Thank you, again, for your touching tribute.
Your care, respect and compassion for the individual wee toots and their teacher is laudable. Goodness forbid anything like this should recur.
If only we Americans valued our children more than our guns…
Love this video tribute to all the kids and adult who died. God bless you for sharing
I remember that horrific day so well i was at work and dying to get home for my three sons to come home from primary school. That day i cried and hugged my sons longer and harder than normal. I cried every time this senseless killing came on the news for those beautiful wee angels and their brave teacher and for their parents. I cant imagine the pain they went threw never to see their children again. I'm glad they fought for laws to be changed and schools were locked to keep other children safe they did this all through their great grief. I'm sure all the wee ones are still being taught by their teacher in heaven and still looking after them may they all rest in peace and the horror wiped from their minds. Thank you for doing this you did it so beautifully sensitively presented you brought all their wee souls back to life never to be forgotten this tribute to them was outstanding bless you. ❤
Thank you for such a heartfelt tribute, a really good video, if good is the right word to use.
I remember the day this happened. I was in secondary School in another part of Scotland & just couldn't wrap my head around it!
Still can't.
At least the UK cares enough about their children to learn from this.
I was 11 when this awful tragedy happened. Can remember my mam crying watching the news. You have covered this with great respect, also to not just name the children but to give an insight into their amazing personalities. A
I had never heard of this story before.. and this happened on my birthday. Wow
As the father of a 4 year old girl I can’t imagine receiving news like this. Life is horrendous sometimes it really is . RIP to all who passed
Those poor babies and and their teacher who only wanted to protect them. So heartbreaking. The only positive in it all was the gun ban.
Thank you for giving the children back their names rather than the perpetrator. I vividly remember the utter, jaw dropping shock and horror of that day.
I really appreciate how you focused on the victims of this awful tragedy. Most videos focus on the perpetrator. Thank you, even though you made me cry 😉 It’s amazing what gun control can accomplish
Not much to say about the perpetrator since the authorities are keeping that information secret for 100 years.
@@heidiw8406 thats because he's still alive
Only Americans think that the "right" to own a gun trumps a child's right to live. It's sickening.
Wish the US would take these steps, I know it never will, but it's nice to see a country that cares about their people more than a law that was made when the country was at war and seeking its own independence.
It’s so so sad. I have a six year old daughter and can’t and don’t want to imagine the pain of those poor parents and loved ones.
Such a beautiful tribute to those murdered babies and thier brave teacher. I hope thier families and love ones have found some peace ❤
Thank you for mentioning the terrific speed and commitment of first responders and the respectives medical care teams. They were also victims of this tragic event, experiencing incredible stress and trauma. The pain must have been unbearable for all
Whats weird is that I dont think it ever came out that the killer was a p3do at the time. Granted I was very young when this happened. But it even says in the video it took 10 years for all the information about him to come out. I just remember all the focus being on firearms. There wasn't really an uproar from the public about firearm laws, it was the media. (And theres still a limit on the info! Wtf, cover up 100%). And I have to add, there's still teachers that go to work in fear. They can still get stabbed. Happened maybe 10 years back.
I had a feeling he was pedo. I was 9 when this happened. I believe it was the same year as the Moses Lake school shooting here in WA state. Our teachers wore ribbons in honor the victims in that shooting and Dunblane.
@@nazimovab3549Well he definitely had that look about him.
I remember the news saying that he had been blacklisted from the scouts. It definitely hinted what he was.
It was definitely reported at the time that he had been removed from the Scout movement for inappropriate behaviour with the boys.
What an amazing tribute to these beautiful souls, taken too soon. Heartfelt and considerate of the remaining victims. Excellent job 👏🏻❤️
As a US citizen, I am horrified that there are people who believe their second amendment rights matter more than the lives of children or adults. I don't know what will have to occur to make the people who oppose gun control here do what is necessary to protect others. I am deeply troubled by this. My prayers are with all victims of violence. There is NO excuse for this.
