There was a mom who was handcuffed from trying to enter the school after she saw that the police weren't doing anything. She got out of the handcuffs, bypassed more police standing around the area, ran into the area close to where the gunman was at and managed to get her two sons out. The police department tried to threaten her to not say anything to the press, but thankfully she was able to tell the world the lack of action from the police that dreadful day
It’s a shame that the cops didn’t take actions cuz they were pussies. A mom got in and out with her 2 sons WITHOUT BEING KILLED. But not one officer could’ve entered and saved some kids?? Ridiculous.
@@kimberlyrichardson5943 a mother’s love knows no bounds. Its just so sad that she had to go through that length for her sons’ safety but im glad her and her sons are safe. I know a lot of parents are now stating on interviews that instead of handling the situation inside the school, the cops were actually busy pointing their guns and tasers on the concerned parents 🤦🏻♀️
i watched her interview. she got one of her sons friends out. but she said when she was going over the fence they cut the fence to try to get her out not to try to go in. im glad that she was able to do her interview
The worst part in the Uvlade case is that the police was twiddling their thumbs and waited before going in. Instead of going in right away to get the shooter. And now they’re trying to save their image by making all kinds of excuses of why they delayed going in.
The democrats stopped them from entering.they can’t say see we need to take guns away if he only shot 1 or 2.he had been flagged by the fbi 2 weeks before so they knew what he was going to do
The cops didn't respond too late. They got there pretty quick, then stood around for more than an hour, even with people inside calling 911 for help during a lot of that time. Sadly, in the US, police aren't legally required to help anyone in dangerous situations.
they TASED a parent that tried to run in to save their child, while they just let the shooter sit inside the classroom for an hour. they did more violence to stop parents saving their babies than to stop the shooter himself. absolute pigs.
@@selamdawit4589 Yeah, several federal courts have said the same thing. Apparently the Supreme Court has ruled that the government only has a responsibility to protect people "in custody" (not that they do a great job at that either).
the democrats kept cops from entering the school so he could shoot more.they can’t say see we need to take guns away if he only shot 1 or 2.he had also been flagged by the fbi 2 weeks before so the democrats knew what he was going to do and allowed it
they TASED a parent who tried to run into the school to save their child. they were doing more to stop the parents from saving their babies than they were to stop the actual shooter, because they “thought all the kids were dead anyway”.
Allowed , not required . They are not allowed .There is a lot of rules when you work in police that make no sense . For example: In domestic abuse cases if victim says everything is fine ,you have to leave . They can be bleeding from their eyes but you are not allowed to do anything . Do anything outside of that you can go from fired to arrested and going to prison. There was probably police officers who wanted to just go in but higher ups didn't let them because at the end of the day its about their politics ( I worked with the ex police captain in furniture store. She had problems with the whole thing so she lost her job and was working in furniture store for a minimal pay, not in America but its similar everywhere)
Now I do kinda feel like crying just seeing them all cry unanimously. The Uvalde case is the most devastating school shooting incident we’ve ever witnessed in 2022. My heart goes out to the children’s families. They’re still going through a lot. There must be a way to prevent or somehow put an end to those shooting incidents in the States. So many fairly innocent lives lost. They all deserved something far better. Rest In Peace to all shooting victims.
I live in a community where school shooting threats are common and I've had my own life directly threatened by gun violence in school. We even had a kid once run through the school attempting to stab people with a box cutter. The issue of kids with weapons is a lot more direct than people may think. Even if someone isn't acting on their violent urges, we still deal with the silent threats of other students. Please, anyone, if you have a voice, speak on this issue for the sake of kids like me.
Nothings gonna change.. in the last 20 years the only year we had less than 10 deaths by school shooting is in 2020 when most schools were shut down for Covid.. The only way to prevent school shootings is to just remove schools.. Our education system sucks anyway..
Oh yeah, I kind of live where threats are pretty common as well but not as crazy as yours! I remember at this High School (where I go to now I was in Eighth Grade at the time and was about to go into a High School not knowing which one yet) we saw it on the News apparently there was a threat that there was a kid who had a gun, and apparently all of them were stuck there for HOURS! It was insane and I heard a lot of stuff about it, and ever since I've been there... there have been so many threats, lockdowns, lockouts, the fire alarms going off etc! (Not to mention there are over 2,000 people in that school) like not too long ago, a few months ago someone set a fire in one of the Boy's Bathrooms and I heard that the kid wanted to hurt people but not sure (pretty much all of the bathrooms are blocked off with caution tape some days they aren't and some days they are the reason is for fires I'm guessing, people dealing drugs and alcohol, smoking weed, flooding the bathrooms, and stealing stuff!) Let's just say this world is messed up (Not everywhere but in most places!)
who else is crying their eyes out watching this. I graduated highschool this week and during my time there we had several lockdown/evacuation situations due to student threats. It was terrifying every time, and a depressing reality for American schoolchildren. Watching this I'm reminded how easily this could have happened in my town, or my school too. My heart goes out to all the victims of these shootings and their families.
I’m balling my eyes out and I’m still in highschool. We had a lockdown last Friday due to a threat and we were taken to a nearby church. A school shooting is one of my worst fears, and I still have 2 more years of high school to go…
In 2018, a few months before the end of my senior year, the news about the school shooting in Parkland happened. My school did our own memorial assembly about it. Not even a week after, a student made and gun and bomb threat to the school and our school did nothing. Like 300 students either didn't come to school or left at some point during the day. My best friend and her brother and I always made escape plans in case it happened so we made a plan to leave our school and book it to the elementary school to get their youngest brother then at least make it to the Dairy Queen down the street. Nothing happened that day because they caught the kid, but all the students were freaking out and the teachers just told us to "stop being dramatic because crime doesn't happen in our city" which is the biggest lie I've ever heard.
Multiple lockdowns and several intruder alerts all throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Still get them in college sometimes. It's traumatizing. There was a mass shooting in my community, it's freaking terrifying and traumatizing for anyone, even if you're not directly involved. You just have this fear, you know that when you go out to class it could be the last time you do so, it could be the last time you see your family, your friends. You just have to live with that knowledge and that fear and you have to prepare for it like monthly in drills and whenever you get things called in, which only retraumatizes. When a recent event occurred at my university (it was a hoax luckily), all the students acted in such a panicked yet prepared way, as if they were trained since birth for this sort of thing, and it's not too far from the truth to say that honestly.
I’m from Texas and live about an hour away from Uvalde. My friend lost her baby girl Amerie who was a BTS fan and lost her life just a week after her 10th birthday, my other friend lost her baby cousin who had just celebrated her first communion. The Robb Elementary school shooting where all this lives were gruesomely taken is heart breaking. These children and teachers were celebrating the end of the year with ceremonies. My heart goes out to all the victims and victim’s families. There is a lot of fault on the police for not taking quicker action and standing by outside while the shooter was killing these innocent children and teachers. Thank you for posting this reaction video to spread awareness around the world of the tragedy that took place in a small Texas town.
As someone who lives in Texas, I've been fearing for my safety as well as others ever since the elementary shooting, the gun laws here are terrible... nobody understands why it's possible for an 18-year-old to be able to buy RIFLES and not alcohol. Then Abbott had the AUDACITY to say that "It could've been worse", everything about that situation was ridiculous and my heart goes out to the victims' families.
@@kimleemoon Yes. Besides the conference where he said, "It could've been worse," I haven't seen or heard a peep from him. So many people are voicing that the gun laws should be examined. I haven't heard anything from him period. Though I can't say that I'm surprised.
The killer was perfectly legal until he walked on school grounds. Texas has a no permit open carry law just passed in September of 2021. They want people to walk around with guns in public with no requirements and this is what they got. And still their politicians talk about having more guns in school. Shameful.
At this point if I was a parent, my kids would be taking virtual classes. Nobody should have to deal with this mess. People are out of control, and now the simplest activities can cost you your life. The news can’t even keep up with the amount of shootings, I mean think about the ones we don’t even hear about. It’s madness
Same, but I would want my child to have social interactions too. After school clubs, I guess? Oh wait. But would homeschooling be a disadvantage when applying to universities?
@@standnamemercuria7079 keep a rapport with similar aged children and families in your neighborhood, both sports and cultural group activities after school, always look out for interesting workshops… is extra work, but worth it for peace of mind imo
@@standnamemercuria7079 Some kids thrive in good, structured homeschooling programs. Many end up going to good universities. My cousins went through homeschooling until middle school and they're the most sociable and amiable kids. Their main "school" had a schedule wherein all the kids meet up once a week for PE classes wherein do ballet dancing, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, etc together, then also once a month to go on trips of museums, etc. They didn't lack any social interactions at all.
@@standnamemercuria7079 hey I'm homeschooled! (Online classes) it's not actually a disadvantage actually you can even do dual enrollment while in highschool to graduate college and highschool at the same time also yes clubs are good for interaction
As someone who went to school in the same district as Columbine, one of the most well known school shootings, we had multiple threats towards our school. I graduated in 2021, and I lived with the fear of being shot at school constantly. You couldn’t pop a balloon or smash a box without scaring people who thought it was a gunshot.
"one of the first school shootings" No, just NOPE! Austin, Texas. August 1, 1966. University of Texas tower shooting: 25-year-old engineering student Charles Whitman fatally shot 15 people and wounded 31 more during a 96-minute shooting rampage from the observation deck of the university. He was shot and killed by police. He had earlier murdered his wife and his mother at their homes. It was the deadliest shooting on a U.S. college campus until the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007.
Honestly this just sad 21 people died in a School IN A SCHOOL but I doubt this will change anything why is it so easy for a High schooler to get a gun? It makes no sense
@@coryhawley738 the shooter didn’t get the gun illegally or over the internet, he got it 100% legally, in-person, at a gun store. if that weren’t possible or as easy, this shooting wouldn’t have happened or there would have been more opportunities to catch it.
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o you are correct, it’s not illegal guns killing children. It’s the legal guns, the US leadership needs to make it harder to obtain guns, background checks, training, and psychological evaluation for potential gun owners.
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o yeah i know im just saying its just as easy to get a gun illegally in America its extremely easy even in places with strict gun control like the uk. and alot of shootings have been done with illegal guns.
@@coryhawley738 77% of shootings are done with LEGALLY obtained weapons. 77% vs 23%… I wonder which we should focus more on to reduce mass shooting the most?
The sad reality of Uvalde is that, if there had NOT been a police response, there would have been fewer victims and a quicker resolution... from the PARENTS of the children. If this country can't even require police to do their jobs to protect CHILDREN, god only knows how we are going to change ANYTHING regarding gun control.
I could count on one hand how many times I saw my dad cry. This was one of those times I actually heard and saw him sob. As soon as as the children’s pictures were posted on the tv. He went to our backyard, lit a candle and prayed the rosary for those kids. May they forever play and laugh in Heaven. Rest In Peace, sweet angels.
in the past month we’ve had major mass shootings at a grocery store, a school, and a hospital. we literally aren’t safe anywhere. i’m constantly looking over my shoulder and assessing my surroundings for danger when I go to get groceries or am just out in public. we all collectively, as a country, have PTSD from this toxic environment, which the government and gun lobby are trying to tell us is “unpreventable” and “like a hurricane or tornado, natural.” this doesn’t happen in other countries. it has a profound effect on every single child going to school in this country- having to have the possibility of being brutally murdered every day in the back of their mind. but the NRA wants to make more money, the government is willing to be paid off by them, and the police departments WANT us to be scared so that we keep throwing money in their pockets so they can continue to do NOTHING to protect us. 83% of Americans agree with passing more gun safety laws, but it’s been decades and none have been written. that’s democracy, right? where 83% of people want something and it doesn’t happen? Steve Kerr put it best: we are literally being held hostage by our government and the companies that inflate their pockets.
As a teacher in America I’ve been very scared especially recently. Of course I love my life, but I love my students more. I always think “better me than them”. But I hate that this is even a fear I have to deal with. It truly infuriates me.
you sound like an amazing teacher and i’m so glad your kids have you. i’m sorry this country has failed you so disgustingly that you have to even consider that type of situation
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o "Gun free school zones" are indeed a mass failure brought on by none other than the current Democrat in the White House. He voted in favor of them while he was a Senator.
What happened to the parents? I haven't heard about that case since I'm not from the US, I can only assume it was a shooting through the context but that second sentence had me even more concerned than how I actually was
@@Kinda_SUSthere’s so so much but I’ll summarize. After the shooting thousands of people flooded online saying that the shooting was fake and never happened or even that the kids never really died and they were actors. The reason people thought this is 1, one of the kids who were there was actually marked as dead but was alive. I’m not sure how true it is but I saw it in an article. Another reason was the info on the body’s were never released and there’s no crime scene photos at all besides a few that only shows the classroom after cleanup apparently. There’s no autopsy to my knowledge or anything like that so people got suspicious. Vs with uvalde you saw the body bags. Or stone man Douglas where with a little digging you could find photos during and after the shooting before cleanup. (I don’t recommend searching for these photos) anyways back to sandy hook, the parents were threatened and called liars because of all the facts I stated above. Recently a lot of parents have been suing for misinformation and deformation
I live in Australia, so just thinking about the fear parents in America have to go through, not knowing whether their child will come home from school in the afternoon, all because anybody has access to guns is just shocking. It makes me sick to think that their are still politicians and people fighting for the freedom of guns, when there are children going through life scarring experiences everyday. STOP GUN VIOLENCE! Yes I believe everyone has the freedom of speech and the ability to do what they want, but not everyone should be able to access guns. In Australia you can get guns, but you have to have a license and even if you own one, you have to keep it locked up, and you wonder why we haven't had a school shooting since May 7th 2012, but even then, nobody was injured or killed. If you have the right to own a gun, then students and their parents have the right to feel safe when going to school, or when their child goes to school. STOP THE GUN VIOLENCE!!!! In Australia there are rules around who can own a firearm for example they have to: (1) identify your 'genuine reason' for wanting a gun licence: sport/target shooting, recreational hunting, primary production, pest control, business or employment, rural occupation, animal welfare, firearm collector. (2) Depending on your genuine reason/s you will need to provide the required proof for that genuine reasons i.e.: proof of club membership, proof of employment, proof below to collector society, proof from accountant or solicitor that you are primary producer or employer that you are a security guard etc. (3) obtain an application form for a firearm licence (4) Complete a multi-day firearm safety course. Pass a written test and practical assessment which will provide certificate that you have passed and completed course. (5) Compile your firearm application form: Identify your genuine reasons for a firearm Identify Category of firearm you require: A, B, C, D and/or H. For D (most lethal firearms. For category D (Self-loading rifles and shotguns), applicant must show "special reason" as to why the applicant needs such a firearm and why a less lethal firearm would not fit the purpose. attach safety training completion certificate declaration that you meet safe storage requirements for the firearm category you are seeking. Firearm storage is generally not inspected but random checks are allowed. 4) Firearms Registry processes your application and conduct background checks: includes - criminal record and any court ordered mental health orders and intelligence checks.
If you have a record for a 'prescribed offence' then you cannot obtain a gun licence including: - sexual offences - Violent offences - Offences related to prohibited drugs - Robbery - Terrorism-related offences - Offences relating to organised crime and criminal groups - Firearms or weapons offences - Fraud, dishonesty and stealing offences5) Wait at least 28 days for checks to be conducted and application processed. 6) If your application is approved you will be sent a letter. You then go to what is known as the Road Traffic Authority wit the letter and your proof of ID. RTA will take your photo, you pay a fee and RTA will issue and firearm licence.
Most parents in the US do not have that fear. The town my retirement home is in has an armed faculty and signs letting would be problem starters that they will be the ones in an early grave. Guns are not the problem. "Gun free zones" like Uvalde are.
Here lately shootings have been happening alot more and it's so scary. As someone who lives in America I'm scared to even go grocery shopping at this point, it really REALLY needs to stop. Going to school is basically a life risk because you never know when some maniac is going to bring a weapon in the school. It's so incredibly depressing because the kids go there to have a future, get education, and see friends and they can't even do that. The poor kids who passed didn't even get a chance to grow up and enjoy their lives, it makes me emotionally exhausted just thinking about it. R.I.P to the wonderful kids, teachers, and staff who have lost their lives in these horrific school shootings. 😔
I live not too far from Uvalde and I have family members whose immediate reaction, rather than shock and horror and pain for these babies and their families, was to scream about gun rights on Facebook. So many posts about 'SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED', meanwhile the coroner was interviewed saying that a few kids were hit by so many bullets that they were decapitated and unrecognizable. The 2nd amendment is one sentence long and begins with 'A well regulated Militia'. An 18 year old is not a well regulated militia. Randos off the street with no background checks are not a well regulated militia. People with no training are not a well regulated militia. I lived in the UK for 5 years and felt so much safer because I didn't have to worry about guns everywhere. A school shooting happened there in the 90's, at Dunblane, and it triggered huge reforms.
I remember being in Denmark to visit family last summer, and it’s so much safer there. They actually have good laws against guns there. However, there was a shooting there that my family and I managed to avoid. Everyone was so shaken because it doesn’t happen much there. Sadly, I’m from America. You know what my mom said on our way back to our Airbnb? We passed a ice cream place and she said she wanted ice cream. My brother and I were disappointed noting how Americanized and desensitized my mom was despite being from Denmark while my brother and I were born in America. It’s so normal that even immigrants who live here for a period of time get desensitized to shootings.
@@emiliereal1520 was it the one that happened at the shopping centre? I dont live far away from Denmark and it was really shocking news to hear about something like that happening so close
You keep parroting "A well regulated militia" and it does not mean what you wished it meant. You should go back to the UK and renounce your US citizenship at the nearest embassy.
That is not being conservative . You can do basically whatever you want "'Land of Freedom " but i agree that they need to fix those regulations and actually start making LAWS related to their issues because right now it s a mess and there s gonna be more and more incidents like this.
No country has EVER experienced this many shootings in a span of a MONTH. Think about it. Every day my actions, my attitude, my mindset, whatever I do will affect people around me. That’s why I’m not a violent person because someone CAN AND WILL GET HURT. An innocent person, a bystander, will get hurt but no one cares because they will label it “a tragedy” Well, a tragedy can be prevented in today’s society. School is a place to learn and get their education. No kid should ever have to live in fear every day every time they step foot on a school campus. This is not the Middle East. We are not in ww1 or 2. We are not in the Wild West. This is the 21st century. And we still have problems that CAN be solved just by looking at other countries and taking notes. America doesn’t take mental health seriously.l America doesn’t help people who has mental problems... well, not enough. Poverty breed crimes. The culture. The society. America is not willing to change because they are too selfish, greedy. America is falling behind while the whole world advances, Their society is going backwards. Their culture is going backwards. Everything in America is going backwards. They spend decades talking and discussing but they haven’t done anything. America hasn’t got anything done these days.
the empire is crumbling, as all others have in the past. we’re watching a global superpower die, and the damage it causes to innocent lives as it lashes out and devours itself
This is what happens when social media lets conspiracy theories run amok. People get trapped in echo chambers of extremist views where these views become more and more normalized to them. As a result, politics in the US has become extremist. Some of the shit US politicians say, straight-faced, is mind boggling (looking at you Majorie Taylor Greene). The US is an oligarchy/corporatocracy being run for the interests of the rich and powerful. They've figured out how to make democracy into more of a facade than anything impactful. Just look at how hard they are trying to gerrymander to keep a minority in power. The US is seriously fucked up.
Lots don’t have an alphabet like us.they plan this out so they can take our guns away.he had been flagged 2 weeks before so they knew what he was going to do.they also stopped cops from entering for like 40 min so he could shoot more.they can’t say see we need to take guns away if he only shot 1 or 2
I went to school with Jacob Halls cousin, I remember when it happened our school also did a super hero day for him. Truly sad. I wish things like this didn’t happen
I wish they had shown the mom from the Texas shooting that passed by the cops and managed to save both her son and nephew by going into 2 different classrooms while the shooting was still happening. Did more than cops without training or gear. She is such a hero.
It’s crazy to think it’s become such a problem that many kids are desensitized to it. So many of my friends and literal children these days have gotten so used to the idea of school shooters that the common response is “I’m surprised we haven’t had a school shooting yet” with little to no emotion shown. They literally sell bulletproof sweaters and childrens backpacks FOR school shootings yet never want to actually do anything about the guns themselves. So many kids and parents are used to saying goodbye and telling their parents they love them more than anything in the world every time they leave for school in the morning because we don’t know if we’re going to come back home that day. It’s honestly sickening. The worst response I’ve ever encountered was when I took my brothers and puppy to the park near my house after a few days after the shooting happened and a little kid, no more than 7 came to me after playing with my brother to pet my puppy. He asked me if I saw what happened on the news because he said his parents cried and talked to him about it. When I said yes I did and that it was okay because it wasn’t going to happen to him he looked me dead in the eye, smiled the sweetest smile and said “but it’s okay if a bad guy comes because I can be like spider man and save all my friends when I stop the bad guy”. I literally started crying after he left because I was so disgusted at the fact that this little innocent kid already had a plan to try and stop a person with a gun if his school got shot up. Kids shouldn’t ever have to worry about that. Ever. And the fact that they do makes me physically sick
We have a 19 year old cousin graduating high school and her 5 year old nephew (another cousin) graduating from preschool. High school graduation was first and it was a great celebration. Then a fight broke out afterwards outside. This fight started and stopped about 4-5 times and then someone pulled a gun and started shooting. A friend/co worker that attended with us was hit in the leg. We had pressed into the side of our vehicle to take cover. The the 19 yo and 5 yo were in our vehicle. The person who was shot got injured right behind where we had taken cover. 2 others were shot and one did pass from their injury. Our friend is fine now. The next week was the 5 yo graduation. He had been excited but then he had a moment where he was scared because he didn't want to get shot. Our babies should NOT be scared EVER but especially not on a special day... a milestone in their life.
This is exhausting and devastating. I'm emotionally drained by these to the point of numbness. I know this video will also attract people in the US who don't believe Gun Control is the solution, and want to take a mental health perspective or a school fortification perspective, but that is not the entire story. Please consider the argument, I genuinely want you to. Mental health is an aspect of this, but I can have all the intent in the world to cause harm, but if I don't have a METHOD to do so effectively my intent won't matter. Though the extremism and violent intent -- the underlying motivations -- also need to be addressed, gun regulations NEED to be the leading effort right now. Additionally, rampant personal liberties to firearms, that kind of freedom "to" does not outweigh my or others freedom "from." We deserve to be free from gun violence and from the threat of gun violence. And kids deserve to feel free from Gun Violence in school. Their freedom to education and to safety is not less important than your freedom to get guns quick. What is wrong with a background check? What is wrong with proper training? What is wrong with responsible Gun ownership? I'm not wary of guns, but I respect their power and the danger therein, and i think that respect should be ingrained into our laws and government.
I am so sorry for the parents of the deceased kids. I believe it’s absolutely unfair for the mother who got arrested for trying to go in the school cause the police weren’t doing much…
I finally graduated highschool last year and have never been so relieved to know i no longer have to live under the constant threat of school shootings… I’m doing online classes for college now
I remember hearing the news about the Uvalde shooting basically as it came out while sitting in the library at school and I had to hold back tears. Two of the police there had family killed in the shooting and they were also barred from going in. The whole event was just mortifying.
The gun laws and shooting incidents are one of the most frustrating things to live with while living in this country. Its common sense to put heavier restrictions on firearms but our government are useless figureheads and let these people and children become victims. All that I can do is to be aware of my surroundings and always check where I could hide or escape if I had to. Especially when going to school and stores. Its a grim reality.
The crazy thing is you have to get guns too in a country full of guns. Just like the person in the video said, you don't want to be the only one without a gun when all the bad guys have guns. Sad that this problem will never be solved.
Put your money where your mouth is and move. That would be common sense. No, your stupid gun laws are not common sense, support for them is the mark of stupidity.
I always cry watching videos like these. And watching the news. Of what’s happening lately. It’s honestly really sad in this world even the innocent ppl die. Especially these kids that had many years to look forward too.☹️
Every officer involved in the Uvalde shooting is the biggest coward I’ve ever seen. Absolutely inexcusable and the fact they tried every excuse in the book is disgraceful and disrespectful on so many levels
As an American student, this is the thing we have to deal with today. It’s scary. Just two weeks ago we had a shooting threat saying how they were going to shoot us all just as a joke. Then last year, just outside my school someone had a gun and fired 3 shots. No one got hurt but I remember running so fast and everyone panicking.
I live in the US and I know everything I can do to keep me safe in the event of a school shooting, I keep my phone on me at all times on silent mode, I have headphones that can be worn discreetly so I can drown out the screams and sounds of gunfire so I won’t flinch and give away that I’m alive, I have a backpack that’s bulletproof and I can use my books to protect my body from bullets, I know how to help stop a wound from bleeding, I know to cover myself with another’s blood and pretend to be dead, and still every day I think “Will it be me today?” And it hurts me that I think this when I go to school with all this knowledge that I shouldn’t need but still do
I left tik tok crying because I had seen a video about the massacre that took place in a school here in Brazil and I went to TH-cam to cry even more, my head hurts from crying so much 😭💔
Don't worry school shootings are not that common here , Brazil had 8 cases of school shooting in the last 10 years and some were inspired by the ones in the USA 🌚💀 by some crazy psychopaths.
E ainda tem brasileiro que apoia a ideia de merda desse presidente babaca de liberar o porte de arma aqui, se ja sem a liberação acontece um monte de bosta imagina com!
I'm a ninth grader and I have never had a threat while at school but when I started middle school which was about 20 minutes from the elementary school my younger brother had a bomb threat and a shooting threat within 3 days,he also had a classmate purposely bring a knife,I kept him home for 2 weeks before I begrudgingly let him go back
A week before the massive school shooting a student from my school also brought a gun to school and was planning to shoot it up. This just shows that anyone can get a gun,and make the decision of what to do next.Luckily some of his friends found out.They told the schools teachers because they didn’t think it was ok.We we’re on lockdown for about an hour and a half.I still think about how bad it would’ve went if they decided to keep quiet.(also I think the kid was just a freshman or sophomore)
That's so crazy!! And it doesn't matter if young people are banned from buying guns. They usually end up getting it from the black market or taking it from their parents.
@@chrisc1184 Which minor aged shooter got them from the black market? I only know about tragedies where they get them from irresponsible family members who don’t store them properly. Otherwise mass shooters usually obtain them legally. Many seem to wait until their 18th birthday because they can’t get their hands on one before then.
Seeing them cry and truly sympathize with the victims and their parents is heartwarming, considering people out there exist who simply don’t care unless it happens to them..
i have a 7 year old and i want to cry even if she simply asks me what i would do if something happened to her. i do not know what i would do. it's like Minji said - "his whole world was destroyed instantly". that exact feeling. we are lucky enough to live in a state w very strict gun laws, and also lucky enough that my girl attends a specialized school w strong security and no unauthorized entry. i'm thankful for that every day. i wish it could be like that everywhere. we are the only modernized, "first world" country this regularly happens in. even "developing" countries don't deal w this issue. "the right to bear arms" was conceived when guns could only fire one shot every minute or two. the Founding Fathers did not imagine or wish for this. we must join the rest of the world in banning assault weapons / weapons of war for civilian use. no exceptions. only individuals w an incredibly warped mindset believe the things depicted in these videos, are "the price we must pay" for what they deem is "personal freedom".
It always shocks me that the fear I hold along with millions upon millions of others is NOT normal. I was on a list at one point. We had locked downs. I shouldn’t have to say that I am lucky that those threats never came true but I AM LUCKY. I’m so tired of being scared.
I cried so hard watching this it hurts to know that this has become everyday life in a place we call home. I currently do not have children and would love to have them some day but things like this make me rethink on whether it is safe enough to bring a life into this world.
A quote thay struck me while watching this, "You have to keep on being a parent, even though you don’t get to have a child anymore." (From Glee). And the sad reality is, this is what those parents and many others go through and STILL the US won't tighten and fix their gun laws across all States.
I live only an hour and 30 minutes away from Uvalde. I always think, what if it was my school that got shot. We're only an hour and 30 minutes away. I have a friend that went to Robb Elementary when he was little, and he saw the news the following day of the shooting. He told me that if it happened just less than 10 years ago, he could've died too. We're so close to Uvalde, we could've been the target. Anything can happen.
I’m from Del Río Texas we are a few minutes away from Uvalde Texas were the shooting was… it was so difficult to us. I was on my last week of high school when we received the notice :( I do not have family over there but when we go and help the community it was devastating even if did not knew anyone. I gave all my prayers to them 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings to our sister city here in Texas. You are 100% correct, no child should live in fear or be murdered at an early innocent age, EVER! We all need to stand up and stop the violence against the people who their only goal in life is to hurt innocent people/children. 🙏❤️
I live in the neighboring city that the Uvalde shooting happened in and it was the most devastating news to hear. I graduated the week this happened and we held a moment of silence for the victims of the shooting, and it was the most serious i had ever seen my class. It showed how close to home it was for a lot of us and how tragic this event was. Even for me, my dad had worked clinic at this school years ago and he broke down hearing this news. People at my school lost some family from this. It truly is the worst thing to have heard happen. These kids were just looking forward to summer and this happened. My heart seriously goes out to these families and these "thoughts and prayers" will never be enough to give justice to the kids and the families. Even at my school we've had multiple shooting threats and bomb threats that were NEVER taken seriously. There needs to be a stop to this cause it will just keep happening. When is the end to this?
I cant even watch this full thing, the pure sadness,anger, and confusion.... it's just too much, something NO ONE should go through, I just wish the best for all the families of the victims.
Im so traumatized by mall shootings , one time i was shopping for groceries and i heard a loud bang . I started running fast and then it was just the employees moving things . Thats how bad its got to the point i hear a noise and i start running
Before 2016, I could understand it. Life here in America wasn’t perfect but it was pretty good. Since that evil person (Trump) was unleashed on our country it has not been the same. He only stirred up hate & division and set some truly evil things in motion. Now, I can understand why people wouldn’t want to come here.
I also know that a tragedy occurred in Korea. over 100 teenagers died in an accident called the Ferry Sewol accident. I think you guys should cover it too!! So other Americans and people around the world know some of the tragedies that happened in Korea as well and how strongly it impacted their government laws.
That tragedy has been covered a lot by a lot of korean youtubers and other korean media. Most people know about that tragedy and know about its consequences.
@@sambatra6162 Yes but the fans of THOSE TH-camrs know. Maybe a lot from this one doesn't :) and i feel it's very important because a lot of people STILL don't know!
It seems like they get shown things that they aren’t exposed to in Korea, so why would they be shown a really infamous moment in modern Koreas history?
Yes omg. When I first watched videos about that incident I cried for hours straight. Its so tragic that so many young people died💔 A similar thing happened in Norway when around 69 teens and adults were killed on an Island
There were reports going around that officers that had children going to that school went in and only saved their kids and not the others. It hurts so much
For me the hardest thing to hear about Ulvade was that a young student called out to the police after their room was shot, the shooter heard them, turned around and further gunshots were heard. The police had already left the building. its such an infuriating situation
I have a high schooler and a middle schooler and I am afraid every day that I send them to school and have been for years. They are both afraid as well. This year there was an incident where the high school contacted parents to let us know they found a student with a (supposedly unloaded) gun and that he had been taken into custody and was being dealt with by the appropriate authorities, but they never told the kids. I just hug them both a little tighter every morning. Even though they have the option for virtual classes, both of them have ADHD and were virtual schooled through 2020 because of COVID regulations, and it was a horrible solution for both of them. Led to a lot of depression, anxiety, and failing classes because they had trouble understanding the content when the teacher wasn't in the room with them. So unfortunately those virtual classes are not for everyone. The fact remains that it's not just schools. It's everywhere. I am afraid for my life every time I leave my house. I order groceries instead of going to the grocery store myself, and every time I go to the bank or the gym or anywhere else I wonder if there might be someone just waiting to kill everyone in the building. It's unfortunate that our country has been so broken with the two party political system for so long. That even when we are able to elect people who actually want to do something about it, we are fucked over by the gun-loving psychopaths elected in red states blocking the laws put on the floor. I really do wish it were easier to emigrate to other countries, because the US is SO screwed up it might as well be a third world country by now, and it's disturbing that people in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY can see it but half the people in this one are too stupid to.
It is so incredibly frustrating in a way words can’t describe to live in Texas. Especially when things like this happen. My mother is a high school teacher. My brother just graduated high school. I was in college this past year, and the way almost every day but especially after this happened, I prayed and hoped that they would be safe. That every time we had a shooting drill or warning that they were safe. My mom is in charge of locking the doors of one building and that’s such a dangerous and important position, and every time I was stuck in a dark room with my other classmates, I hoped that she was okay. That my brother was okay. And now, I have to beg and plea and pray that my mom will be safe since my brother and I are off to college now. I need her to be safe, miles and miles away from both of us. When people talk about arming the teachers, I just can’t take them seriously because I imagine my mom. My mom with her 20+ years in education just trying to make it to 3 more so she can retire after we finish college. My mom who has never held a gun in her life, who just wants to help her students succeed and keep them safe. My mom who should never be put in this position. It is frustrating to live in Texas when they care and act about all the wrong things and hem and haw when change is demanded. The amount that Texas cares about issues like this is disgusting. None of the children should ever be afraid of going to school. No parent should ever have to lose their child, especially like this.
The little boy from South Carolina was near my hometown. About 20 mins away. The teenager stole the gun from his dads safe and walked to the elementary school. The kids were outside for recess and the shooter shot him in the leg and it hit his major artery and he lost too much blood. I believe the shooter also killed his own father.
I am American and unfortunately I have been exposed to this media so much and so often that I can watch this with a sad face, nit because I don't care but because there are no more tears in me left to cry I remember when sandy hook happened it was less than 45 minutes away from my school and I was in kindergarten at the time- my parents had to tell their 6 year old child how to hide from a shooter in my classroom.
Minji, your tears show your kind heart. I could see it in the other OSSC members faces. It's a sad state of affairs here in the U.S. with mass shootings, in my 69 years I have never seen this. I live in Florida where 17 were murdered in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High and 49 were murdered in the Pulse Night Club just to name a few. Being a father, my thoughts go out to the parents. Thanks OSSC for your concern and making this video available world wide.
I really, really hate that as I read your comment I thought "Oh, I forgot about Pulse." Lord, how is it that this has happened so many times that I forgot the deaths of 49 people? Something has got to give.
When I was in school(middle, elementary and high school) shooting threats were commonplace and I had constant anxiety in school. It’s one of the reasons my mom is making me do college in Canada-cause America has been going down the shit spiral, with human rights, gun controls and internal terrorism. I’m less likely to become a victim in Canada vs Florida.
only in america... where a middle schooler can have access to guns before they can even drink alchohol or learn to drive.... not just any gun ..a gun that's purpose is to take out a lot in ashort amount of time
We absolutely know how unacceptable this is. So many of us are fighting over here for SOMETHING to be done about it, but it's extremely frustrating. We agree, it's ridiculous and we're absolutely tired of it. Many of us here are starting to just get numb. Our children do active shooter drills at school. I've been through active shooter training at my job because this is such an issue.
Guns are so uncontrolled in America it’s actually insane. And they aren’t even doing anything about it. They would rather protect guns than children at this point.
The first video happened in my state of Texas. It happened in May of this year. There were 376 law enforcement officers there at the school. Several different law enforcement agencies there. They waited 77 minutes before finally going into the classroom and killing the shooter. That day the police officers were cowards. But by the time they finally breached the classroom 19 children and 2 teachers were dead. And 17 more children were injured. The shooter had an AR15 rifle and had so much ammunition (bullets). They killed the shooter. The police were scared to confront this 18 yr old shooter because he had that AR15. But the police were heavily armed as well with body armor, bullet proof vests and shields. But they were scared. Our state of Texas has a governor who set policy that all adults can carry a weapon, no permit needed. No background check. No training at all. The parents of Uvalde, Texas were hysterical. Screaming and crying and begging to go in so that they could try to save their children. One young mother broke away from the police and ran in and saved her 2 young sons along with others. They tired to arrest this mother. Our governor said "it could have been worse." He should be so ashamed of himself because he's made it to where anyone at least 18 yrs old can buy a gun no questions asked. This was a tragedy and not the 1st mass school shooting in the state of Texas. I'm heartbroken. 💔😞😓
The one thing I'll never forget is a father being asked questions about his dead son, the man was working in a field picking crops only a few days after the shooting, he couldn't take the time off to mourn his son. Think about that.
I'm all for people wanting to buy guns for protection or hunting game but people should not have access to military grade weapons. And I support raising the age to buy a gun cause 18 year olds should not be worrying about buying a gun, they should be focused on school or working. But of course the u.s. politicians are not gonna get anything done and the cycle will repeat the next time a school shooting happens.
These past few weeks have been very taxing emotionally and mentally for a lot of Americans. Even though I do not have any children myself, I have a young niece and nephew who are going to be school-age soon. I really, really hope my brother and his wife decide to homeschool because sending them off everyday while being unsure of if they'll return home safely is just so terrifying. School shootings are not "a side effect of a free society," as some Americans seem to think. It is an entirely preventable tragedy that can be possible with stricter gun laws. I have no fantasies about completely abolishing guns, of course, but AT LEAST make it harder for those unqualified to get them. Also, I personally see no need for automatic/semiautomatic weapons in the hands of normal civilians, that is just ridiculous to me.
Put your money where your mouth is, move to the country of your choice, and formally renounce your US citizenship if our freedom is too taxing for you.
i work as a summer camp counselor and i just had to teach my kids escape routes in case theres a gun threat….teaching 2-4 graders how to hide from people who want to kill them. it made my heart sink
@nyanco1746 Okay I guess the first reply did not go through. What universe are you in to sit back and go "Children are being slaughtered by an evil asshole but committing any form of violence against them to prevent the slaughter of children is not okay!"? Do the world a favor, shut up about your faux concern for the children and get out of the way of the responsible faculty having the tools to be better prepared to deal with said assholes.
This is a constant thing here in America. I don't know when guns became more valued the children. It makes you wish gaining residency in another country was easier. It's heartbreaking. It's in the news almost daily.
last month a 10th grader at my school walked in with 3 guns. the school did not alert students nor parents. the only reason we found out was because the kid was escorted out by police. there has been bomb and shooting threats but the school never tells anyone unless the students find out about it and spread it.
The school NEVER tells us. The only way I found out that someone was going to do something at school was from other students hours before the school told us
There was a mom who was handcuffed from trying to enter the school after she saw that the police weren't doing anything. She got out of the handcuffs, bypassed more police standing around the area, ran into the area close to where the gunman was at and managed to get her two sons out. The police department tried to threaten her to not say anything to the press, but thankfully she was able to tell the world the lack of action from the police that dreadful day
i'm so glad she is okay and her sons too
It’s a shame that the cops didn’t take actions cuz they were pussies. A mom got in and out with her 2 sons WITHOUT BEING KILLED. But not one officer could’ve entered and saved some kids?? Ridiculous.
Wow i didnt even know about that, can’t imagine what she felt in the situation
@@kimberlyrichardson5943 a mother’s love knows no bounds. Its just so sad that she had to go through that length for her sons’ safety but im glad her and her sons are safe. I know a lot of parents are now stating on interviews that instead of handling the situation inside the school, the cops were actually busy pointing their guns and tasers on the concerned parents 🤦🏻♀️
i watched her interview. she got one of her sons friends out. but she said when she was going over the fence they cut the fence to try to get her out not to try to go in. im glad that she was able to do her interview
The worst part in the Uvlade case is that the police was twiddling their thumbs and waited before going in. Instead of going in right away to get the shooter. And now they’re trying to save their image by making all kinds of excuses of why they delayed going in.
“we thought all the kids were dead already anyway”…. as they were getting 911 calls from children inside the classroom. pigs.
The democrats stopped them from entering.they can’t say see we need to take guns away if he only shot 1 or 2.he had been flagged by the fbi 2 weeks before so they knew what he was going to do
I don’t even know how they can sleep at night knowing how many people lost their babies and they could’ve prevented some of the damage, just sickening
@@jerseygirl6221 I hope they don't, I hope they're haunted by the memories
All of those police who sat on their ass and did nothing while children were being killed deserve life in prison for helping the shooter in his goal
The cops didn't respond too late. They got there pretty quick, then stood around for more than an hour, even with people inside calling 911 for help during a lot of that time. Sadly, in the US, police aren't legally required to help anyone in dangerous situations.
omg actually?! thats so messed up tho
they TASED a parent that tried to run in to save their child, while they just let the shooter sit inside the classroom for an hour. they did more violence to stop parents saving their babies than to stop the shooter himself. absolute pigs.
@@selamdawit4589 Yeah, several federal courts have said the same thing. Apparently the Supreme Court has ruled that the government only has a responsibility to protect people "in custody" (not that they do a great job at that either).
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o Yeah, they fucked up so bad that suddenly a lot more people are questioning why the fuck we even have police.
the democrats kept cops from entering the school so he could shoot more.they can’t say see we need to take guns away if he only shot 1 or 2.he had also been flagged by the fbi 2 weeks before so the democrats knew what he was going to do and allowed it
It's incredibly fucked that police aren't legally required to help in this situation. Legally.
they TASED a parent who tried to run into the school to save their child. they were doing more to stop the parents from saving their babies than they were to stop the actual shooter, because they “thought all the kids were dead anyway”.
what's sad is that it took an off-duty border agent with balls to go in the school himself to kill the shooter.
Yep, there’s no such a thing as protect and serve, cops are there to follow the authorities orders and nothing outside that.
Allowed , not required . They are not allowed .There is a lot of rules when you work in police that make no sense . For example: In domestic abuse cases if victim says everything is fine ,you have to leave . They can be bleeding from their eyes but you are not allowed to do anything . Do anything outside of that you can go from fired to arrested and going to prison. There was probably police officers who wanted to just go in but higher ups didn't let them because at the end of the day its about their politics ( I worked with the ex police captain in furniture store. She had problems with the whole thing so she lost her job and was working in furniture store for a minimal pay, not in America but its similar everywhere)
I bet if the school had senators, governor’s kids or if it was a rich entitled school , police would react right away.
Now I do kinda feel like crying just seeing them all cry unanimously. The Uvalde case is the most devastating school shooting incident we’ve ever witnessed in 2022. My heart goes out to the children’s families. They’re still going through a lot. There must be a way to prevent or somehow put an end to those shooting incidents in the States. So many fairly innocent lives lost. They all deserved something far better. Rest In Peace to all shooting victims.
there IS a way to prevent it, there always has been. this doesn’t happen in other countries.
It's so sad that we can only say "most devastating in 2022." We need gun control immediately.
"in 2022"
And the cops just stood out there for 30 minutes without doing anything 😖
Why there are no rallies yet is beyond my comprehension. "In 2022" … the US is an absolute train wreck…
I live in a community where school shooting threats are common and I've had my own life directly threatened by gun violence in school. We even had a kid once run through the school attempting to stab people with a box cutter. The issue of kids with weapons is a lot more direct than people may think. Even if someone isn't acting on their violent urges, we still deal with the silent threats of other students. Please, anyone, if you have a voice, speak on this issue for the sake of kids like me.
Nothings gonna change.. in the last 20 years the only year we had less than 10 deaths by school shooting is in 2020 when most schools were shut down for Covid.. The only way to prevent school shootings is to just remove schools.. Our education system sucks anyway..
Oh yeah, I kind of live where threats are pretty common as well but not as crazy as yours! I remember at this High School (where I go to now I was in Eighth Grade at the time and was about to go into a High School not knowing which one yet) we saw it on the News apparently there was a threat that there was a kid who had a gun, and apparently all of them were stuck there for HOURS! It was insane and I heard a lot of stuff about it, and ever since I've been there... there have been so many threats, lockdowns, lockouts, the fire alarms going off etc! (Not to mention there are over 2,000 people in that school) like not too long ago, a few months ago someone set a fire in one of the Boy's Bathrooms and I heard that the kid wanted to hurt people but not sure (pretty much all of the bathrooms are blocked off with caution tape some days they aren't and some days they are the reason is for fires I'm guessing, people dealing drugs and alcohol, smoking weed, flooding the bathrooms, and stealing stuff!) Let's just say this world is messed up (Not everywhere but in most places!)
Dude, that sounds crazy!
I don’t think it’s pretty common but at my school there were two bomb threats and a school shooting threat(from a student) within 6 months of school
Yeesh 😯
that girl was so right, everything about this is ridiculous
that it keeps happening and nobody is changing anything
who else is crying their eyes out watching this. I graduated highschool this week and during my time there we had several lockdown/evacuation situations due to student threats. It was terrifying every time, and a depressing reality for American schoolchildren. Watching this I'm reminded how easily this could have happened in my town, or my school too. My heart goes out to all the victims of these shootings and their families.
I’m balling my eyes out and I’m still in highschool. We had a lockdown last Friday due to a threat and we were taken to a nearby church. A school shooting is one of my worst fears, and I still have 2 more years of high school to go…
In 2018, a few months before the end of my senior year, the news about the school shooting in Parkland happened. My school did our own memorial assembly about it. Not even a week after, a student made and gun and bomb threat to the school and our school did nothing. Like 300 students either didn't come to school or left at some point during the day. My best friend and her brother and I always made escape plans in case it happened so we made a plan to leave our school and book it to the elementary school to get their youngest brother then at least make it to the Dairy Queen down the street. Nothing happened that day because they caught the kid, but all the students were freaking out and the teachers just told us to "stop being dramatic because crime doesn't happen in our city" which is the biggest lie I've ever heard.
As a European, I cant relate to shooting threats and lockdowns... only the US has these... but im sorry you needed to go through that
Multiple lockdowns and several intruder alerts all throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Still get them in college sometimes. It's traumatizing. There was a mass shooting in my community, it's freaking terrifying and traumatizing for anyone, even if you're not directly involved. You just have this fear, you know that when you go out to class it could be the last time you do so, it could be the last time you see your family, your friends. You just have to live with that knowledge and that fear and you have to prepare for it like monthly in drills and whenever you get things called in, which only retraumatizes. When a recent event occurred at my university (it was a hoax luckily), all the students acted in such a panicked yet prepared way, as if they were trained since birth for this sort of thing, and it's not too far from the truth to say that honestly.
@@dillon17 Brazil, Mexico, and the list goes on would like a word with that ridiculous statement.
I’m from Texas and live about an hour away from Uvalde. My friend lost her baby girl Amerie who was a BTS fan and lost her life just a week after her 10th birthday, my other friend lost her baby cousin who had just celebrated her first communion. The Robb Elementary school shooting where all this lives were gruesomely taken is heart breaking. These children and teachers were celebrating the end of the year with ceremonies. My heart goes out to all the victims and victim’s families. There is a lot of fault on the police for not taking quicker action and standing by outside while the shooter was killing these innocent children and teachers. Thank you for posting this reaction video to spread awareness around the world of the tragedy that took place in a small Texas town.

Then Abbott had the AUDACITY to say that "It could've been worse", everything about that situation was ridiculous and my heart goes out to the victims' families.
Money being given to political campaigns by the gun manufacturers and NRA. That’s why nothing is done about it.

@@kimleemoon Yes. Besides the conference where he said, "It could've been worse," I haven't seen or heard a peep from him. So many people are voicing that the gun laws should be examined. I haven't heard anything from him period. Though I can't say that I'm surprised.
The killer was perfectly legal until he walked on school grounds. Texas has a no permit open carry law just passed in September of 2021. They want people to walk around with guns in public with no requirements and this is what they got. And still their politicians talk about having more guns in school. Shameful.
At this point if I was a parent, my kids would be taking virtual classes. Nobody should have to deal with this mess. People are out of control, and now the simplest activities can cost you your life.

As someone who went to school in the same district as Columbine, one of the most well known school shootings, we had multiple threats towards our school. I graduated in 2021, and I lived with the fear of being shot at school constantly. You couldn’t pop a balloon or smash a box without scaring people who thought it was a gunshot.
literally, or when other students make a bag of chips pop. Everyone automatically assumes its a gunshot
"one of the first school shootings"
No, just NOPE!
Austin, Texas. August 1, 1966. University of Texas tower shooting: 25-year-old engineering student Charles Whitman fatally shot 15 people and wounded 31 more during a 96-minute shooting rampage from the observation deck of the university. He was shot and killed by police. He had earlier murdered his wife and his mother at their homes. It was the deadliest shooting on a U.S. college campus until the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007.

Honestly this just sad 21 people died in a School IN A SCHOOL but I doubt this will change anything why is it so easy for a High schooler to get a gun? It makes no sense
its relatively easy to get a gun illegally these days with the internet thats the problem there isnt a way to manage it.

The sad reality of Uvalde is that, if there had NOT been a police response, there would have been fewer victims and a quicker resolution... from the PARENTS of the children.
If this country can't even require police to do their jobs to protect CHILDREN, god only knows how we are going to change ANYTHING regarding gun control.
I could count on one hand how many times I saw my dad cry. This was one of those times I actually heard and saw him sob. As soon as as the children’s pictures were posted on the tv. He went to our backyard, lit a candle and prayed the rosary for those kids. May they forever play and laugh in Heaven. Rest In Peace, sweet angels.
in the past month we’ve had major mass shootings at a grocery store, a school, and a hospital. we literally aren’t safe anywhere. i’m constantly looking over my shoulder and assessing my surroundings for danger when I go to get groceries or am just out in public. we all collectively, as a country, have PTSD from this toxic environment, which the government and gun lobby are trying to tell us is “unpreventable” and “like a hurricane or tornado, natural.” this doesn’t happen in other countries. it has a profound effect on every single child going to school in this country- having to have the possibility of being brutally murdered every day in the back of their mind.
but the NRA wants to make more money, the government is willing to be paid off by them, and the police departments WANT us to be scared so that we keep throwing money in their pockets so they can continue to do NOTHING to protect us. 83% of Americans agree with passing more gun safety laws, but it’s been decades and none have been written. that’s democracy, right? where 83% of people want something and it doesn’t happen? Steve Kerr put it best: we are literally being held hostage by our government and the companies that inflate their pockets.
As a teacher in America I’ve been very scared especially recently. Of course I love my life, but I love my students more. I always think “better me than them”. But I hate that this is even a fear I have to deal with. It truly infuriates me.
you sound like an amazing teacher and i’m so glad your kids have you. i’m sorry this country has failed you so disgustingly that you have to even consider that type of situation
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o 💔🙏🏽 Thank you
You sound like an amazing teacher
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o "Gun free school zones" are indeed a mass failure brought on by none other than the current Democrat in the White House. He voted in favor of them while he was a Senator.
I will never forget what the parents of the sandy hook victims had to go through. They were called liars and threatened. Absolute insanity.
What happened to the parents?
I haven't heard about that case since I'm not from the US, I can only assume it was a shooting through the context but that second sentence had me even more concerned than how I actually was
@@Kinda_SUSthere’s so so much but I’ll summarize.
After the shooting thousands of people flooded online saying that the shooting was fake and never happened or even that the kids never really died and they were actors. The reason people thought this is 1, one of the kids who were there was actually marked as dead but was alive. I’m not sure how true it is but I saw it in an article. Another reason was the info on the body’s were never released and there’s no crime scene photos at all besides a few that only shows the classroom after cleanup apparently. There’s no autopsy to my knowledge or anything like that so people got suspicious. Vs with uvalde you saw the body bags. Or stone man Douglas where with a little digging you could find photos during and after the shooting before cleanup. (I don’t recommend searching for these photos) anyways back to sandy hook, the parents were threatened and called liars because of all the facts I stated above. Recently a lot of parents have been suing for misinformation and deformation
@Luv.Arrii2 Jesus christ I have no words. My best wishes for the parents, hope they win the case! And may the little ones rest in peace
Uvalde will never be the same. I feel it in my bones everytime I go home.
As American, I feel ashamed that this keeps happening in my country. We can do so much better and yet, nothing changes.
I live in Australia, so just thinking about the fear parents in America have to go through, not knowing whether their child will come home from school in the afternoon, all because anybody has access to guns is just shocking. It makes me sick to think that their are still politicians and people fighting for the freedom of guns, when there are children going through life scarring experiences everyday. STOP GUN VIOLENCE!
Yes I believe everyone has the freedom of speech and the ability to do what they want, but not everyone should be able to access guns. In Australia you can get guns, but you have to have a license and even if you own one, you have to keep it locked up, and you wonder why we haven't had a school shooting since May 7th 2012, but even then, nobody was injured or killed.
If you have the right to own a gun, then students and their parents have the right to feel safe when going to school, or when their child goes to school. STOP THE GUN VIOLENCE!!!!
In Australia there are rules around who can own a firearm for example they have to:
(1) identify your 'genuine reason' for wanting a gun licence: sport/target shooting, recreational hunting, primary production, pest control, business or employment, rural occupation, animal welfare, firearm collector.
(2) Depending on your genuine reason/s you will need to provide the required proof for that genuine reasons i.e.: proof of club membership, proof of employment, proof below to collector society, proof from accountant or solicitor that you are primary producer or employer that you are a security guard etc.
(3) obtain an application form for a firearm licence
(4) Complete a multi-day firearm safety course. Pass a written test and practical assessment which will provide certificate that you have passed and completed course.
(5) Compile your firearm application form:
Identify your genuine reasons for a firearm
Identify Category of firearm you require: A, B, C, D and/or H. For D (most lethal firearms. For category D (Self-loading rifles and shotguns), applicant must show "special reason" as to why the applicant needs such a firearm and why a less lethal firearm would not fit the purpose.
attach safety training completion certificate
declaration that you meet safe storage requirements for the firearm category you are seeking. Firearm storage is generally not inspected but random checks are allowed.
4) Firearms Registry processes your application and conduct background checks: includes - criminal record and any court ordered mental health orders and intelligence checks.
If you have a record for a 'prescribed offence' then you cannot obtain a gun licence including:
- sexual offences
- Violent offences
- Offences related to prohibited drugs
- Robbery
- Terrorism-related offences
- Offences relating to organised crime and criminal groups
- Firearms or weapons offences
- Fraud, dishonesty and stealing offences5) Wait at least 28 days for checks to be conducted and application processed.
6) If your application is approved you will be sent a letter. You then go to what is known as the Road Traffic Authority wit the letter and your proof of ID. RTA will take your photo, you pay a fee and RTA will issue and firearm licence.
I’m so glad our gun laws are much stricter here.
im moving to aussie for uni so im going to save this just in case...
Most parents in the US do not have that fear. The town my retirement home is in has an armed faculty and signs letting would be problem starters that they will be the ones in an early grave. Guns are not the problem. "Gun free zones" like Uvalde are.
Fuck Australia's gun laws.
@@crwilliams4597 Are you listening to yourself? Guns are not the problem??! What do you think killed all those children in Uvalde? Make it make sense.
What's absolutely maddening is that if the pattern continues, nothing will change. NOTHING smh. My heart aches for these children and their families.
Here lately shootings have been happening alot more and it's so scary. As someone who lives in America I'm scared to even go grocery shopping at this point, it really REALLY needs to stop. Going to school is basically a life risk because you never know when some maniac is going to bring a weapon in the school. It's so incredibly depressing because the kids go there to have a future, get education, and see friends and they can't even do that. The poor kids who passed didn't even get a chance to grow up and enjoy their lives, it makes me emotionally exhausted just thinking about it. R.I.P to the wonderful kids, teachers, and staff who have lost their lives in these horrific school shootings. 😔
You are lying. You do not live in fear otherwise you would have moved to Canada and renounced your US citizenship at the nearest embassy.
I live not too far from Uvalde and I have family members whose immediate reaction, rather than shock and horror and pain for these babies and their families, was to scream about gun rights on Facebook. So many posts about 'SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED', meanwhile the coroner was interviewed saying that a few kids were hit by so many bullets that they were decapitated and unrecognizable. The 2nd amendment is one sentence long and begins with 'A well regulated Militia'. An 18 year old is not a well regulated militia. Randos off the street with no background checks are not a well regulated militia. People with no training are not a well regulated militia. I lived in the UK for 5 years and felt so much safer because I didn't have to worry about guns everywhere. A school shooting happened there in the 90's, at Dunblane, and it triggered huge reforms.
I remember being in Denmark to visit family last summer, and it’s so much safer there. They actually have good laws against guns there. However, there was a shooting there that my family and I managed to avoid. Everyone was so shaken because it doesn’t happen much there.
Sadly, I’m from America. You know what my mom said on our way back to our Airbnb? We passed a ice cream place and she said she wanted ice cream. My brother and I were disappointed noting how Americanized and desensitized my mom was despite being from Denmark while my brother and I were born in America. It’s so normal that even immigrants who live here for a period of time get desensitized to shootings.
@@emiliereal1520 was it the one that happened at the shopping centre? I dont live far away from Denmark and it was really shocking news to hear about something like that happening so close
You keep parroting "A well regulated militia" and it does not mean what you wished it meant. You should go back to the UK and renounce your US citizenship at the nearest embassy.
Unfortunately the US is still very conservative and rejects the idea of heavier regulation on gun laws. I hope change comes soon
True
That is not being conservative . You can do basically whatever you want "'Land of Freedom " but i agree that they need to fix those regulations and actually start making LAWS related to their issues because right now it s a mess and there s gonna be more and more incidents like this.
It's not even that, it's that the Republicans are funded by the NRA and lobbyists.
83% of Americans agree with passing more gun safety laws. the US is not conservative, the government and the gun companies who bribe them are.
@@ctrl8514 Not wanting gun reform is absolutely conservative. Not wanting guns *banned* isn't specifically conservative, but no reform 100% is.
No country has EVER experienced this many shootings in a span of a MONTH.
Think about it.
Every day my actions, my attitude, my mindset, whatever I do will affect people around me.
That’s why I’m not a violent person because someone CAN AND WILL GET HURT.
An innocent person, a bystander, will get hurt but no one cares because they will label it “a tragedy”
Well, a tragedy can be prevented in today’s society.
School is a place to learn and get their education.
No kid should ever have to live in fear every day every time they step foot on a school campus.
This is not the Middle East. We are not in ww1 or 2. We are not in the Wild West. This is the 21st century. And we still have problems that CAN be solved just by looking at other countries and taking notes.
America doesn’t take mental health seriously.l
America doesn’t help people who has mental problems... well, not enough.
Poverty breed crimes. The culture. The society.
America is not willing to change because they are too selfish, greedy.
America is falling behind while the whole world advances, Their society is going backwards. Their culture is going backwards.
Everything in America is going backwards.
They spend decades talking and discussing but they haven’t done anything.
America hasn’t got anything done these days.
the empire is crumbling, as all others have in the past. we’re watching a global superpower die, and the damage it causes to innocent lives as it lashes out and devours itself
This is what happens when social media lets conspiracy theories run amok. People get trapped in echo chambers of extremist views where these views become more and more normalized to them. As a result, politics in the US has become extremist. Some of the shit US politicians say, straight-faced, is mind boggling (looking at you Majorie Taylor Greene).
The US is an oligarchy/corporatocracy being run for the interests of the rich and powerful. They've figured out how to make democracy into more of a facade than anything impactful. Just look at how hard they are trying to gerrymander to keep a minority in power. The US is seriously fucked up.
Lots don’t have an alphabet like us.they plan this out so they can take our guns away.he had been flagged 2 weeks before so they knew what he was going to do.they also stopped cops from entering for like 40 min so he could shoot more.they can’t say see we need to take guns away if he only shot 1 or 2
PREACH BROTHER
Yes! a lot of Americans have been realizing this too it feels like we take 50 steps back after taking one step forward… it’s so tiring.
The funeral scene really really got me with the 🦸♀️ capes 😢
I went to school with Jacob Halls cousin, I remember when it happened our school also did a super hero day for him. Truly sad. I wish things like this didn’t happen
I wish they had shown the mom from the Texas shooting that passed by the cops and managed to save both her son and nephew by going into 2 different classrooms while the shooting was still happening. Did more than cops without training or gear. She is such a hero.
It’s crazy to think it’s become such a problem that many kids are desensitized to it. So many of my friends and literal children these days have gotten so used to the idea of school shooters that the common response is “I’m surprised we haven’t had a school shooting yet” with little to no emotion shown. They literally sell bulletproof sweaters and childrens backpacks FOR school shootings yet never want to actually do anything about the guns themselves. So many kids and parents are used to saying goodbye and telling their parents they love them more than anything in the world every time they leave for school in the morning because we don’t know if we’re going to come back home that day. It’s honestly sickening. The worst response I’ve ever encountered was when I took my brothers and puppy to the park near my house after a few days after the shooting happened and a little kid, no more than 7 came to me after playing with my brother to pet my puppy. He asked me if I saw what happened on the news because he said his parents cried and talked to him about it. When I said yes I did and that it was okay because it wasn’t going to happen to him he looked me dead in the eye, smiled the sweetest smile and said “but it’s okay if a bad guy comes because I can be like spider man and save all my friends when I stop the bad guy”. I literally started crying after he left because I was so disgusted at the fact that this little innocent kid already had a plan to try and stop a person with a gun if his school got shot up. Kids shouldn’t ever have to worry about that. Ever. And the fact that they do makes me physically sick
We have a 19 year old cousin graduating high school and her 5 year old nephew (another cousin) graduating from preschool. High school graduation was first and it was a great celebration. Then a fight broke out afterwards outside. This fight started and stopped about 4-5 times and then someone pulled a gun and started shooting. A friend/co worker that attended with us was hit in the leg. We had pressed into the side of our vehicle to take cover. The the 19 yo and 5 yo were in our vehicle. The person who was shot got injured right behind where we had taken cover. 2 others were shot and one did pass from their injury. Our friend is fine now. The next week was the 5 yo graduation. He had been excited but then he had a moment where he was scared because he didn't want to get shot. Our babies should NOT be scared EVER but especially not on a special day... a milestone in their life.
Oh, you mean the criminal ignored your "no guns allowed here" laws? Shocker.
This is exhausting and devastating. I'm emotionally drained by these to the point of numbness. I know this video will also attract people in the US who don't believe Gun Control is the solution, and want to take a mental health perspective or a school fortification perspective, but that is not the entire story. Please consider the argument, I genuinely want you to. Mental health is an aspect of this, but I can have all the intent in the world to cause harm, but if I don't have a METHOD to do so effectively my intent won't matter. Though the extremism and violent intent -- the underlying motivations -- also need to be addressed, gun regulations NEED to be the leading effort right now.
Additionally, rampant personal liberties to firearms, that kind of freedom "to" does not outweigh my or others freedom "from." We deserve to be free from gun violence and from the threat of gun violence. And kids deserve to feel free from Gun Violence in school. Their freedom to education and to safety is not less important than your freedom to get guns quick. What is wrong with a background check? What is wrong with proper training? What is wrong with responsible Gun ownership? I'm not wary of guns, but I respect their power and the danger therein, and i think that respect should be ingrained into our laws and government.
I’m crying right now and ii can’t stop
I am so sorry for the parents of the deceased kids. I believe it’s absolutely unfair for the mother who got arrested for trying to go in the school cause the police weren’t doing much…
Holy shittt this video frfr made me cry harder than ive ever cried to any movie or show
My children stay at home for school, and when it's time for them to go to a university, I'm sending them to a different country. It's not safe here.
I finally graduated highschool last year and have never been so relieved to know i no longer have to live under the constant threat of school shootings… I’m doing online classes for college now
I remember hearing the news about the Uvalde shooting basically as it came out while sitting in the library at school and I had to hold back tears. Two of the police there had family killed in the shooting and they were also barred from going in. The whole event was just mortifying.
The gun laws and shooting incidents are one of the most frustrating things to live with while living in this country. Its common sense to put heavier restrictions on firearms but our government are useless figureheads and let these people and children become victims. All that I can do is to be aware of my surroundings and always check where I could hide or escape if I had to. Especially when going to school and stores. Its a grim reality.
83% of Americans have common sense like us and agree with more gun laws. the government and the NRA are literally holding us hostage
The crazy thing is you have to get guns too in a country full of guns. Just like the person in the video said, you don't want to be the only one without a gun when all the bad guys have guns. Sad that this problem will never be solved.
Put your money where your mouth is and move. That would be common sense. No, your stupid gun laws are not common sense, support for them is the mark of stupidity.
I always cry watching videos like these. And watching the news. Of what’s happening lately. It’s honestly really sad in this world even the innocent ppl die. Especially these kids that had many years to look forward too.☹️
Every officer involved in the Uvalde shooting is the biggest coward I’ve ever seen. Absolutely inexcusable and the fact they tried every excuse in the book is disgraceful and disrespectful on so many levels
It sad knowing that the last things these parents heard would have been a "good bye" or "love you" before they went to school...
As an American student, this is the thing we have to deal with today. It’s scary. Just two weeks ago we had a shooting threat saying how they were going to shoot us all just as a joke. Then last year, just outside my school someone had a gun and fired 3 shots. No one got hurt but I remember running so fast and everyone panicking.
This one really made me cry. Such innocent little sweethearts. I hate this cruel world.
5:00 even if we don't personally know these angel children, those in different continents share the same feelings of grief.
Absolutely devastating, heartbreaking and sickening! RIP to the little angels and teachers
I live in the US and I know everything I can do to keep me safe in the event of a school shooting, I keep my phone on me at all times on silent mode, I have headphones that can be worn discreetly so I can drown out the screams and sounds of gunfire so I won’t flinch and give away that I’m alive, I have a backpack that’s bulletproof and I can use my books to protect my body from bullets, I know how to help stop a wound from bleeding, I know to cover myself with another’s blood and pretend to be dead, and still every day I think “Will it be me today?” And it hurts me that I think this when I go to school with all this knowledge that I shouldn’t need but still do
I left tik tok crying because I had seen a video about the massacre that took place in a school here in Brazil and I went to TH-cam to cry even more, my head hurts from crying so much 😭💔
Don't worry school shootings are not that common here , Brazil had 8 cases of school shooting in the last 10 years and some were inspired by the ones in the USA 🌚💀 by some crazy psychopaths.
E ainda tem brasileiro que apoia a ideia de merda desse presidente babaca de liberar o porte de arma aqui, se ja sem a liberação acontece um monte de bosta imagina com!
I'm a ninth grader and I have never had a threat while at school but when I started middle school which was about 20 minutes from the elementary school my younger brother had a bomb threat and a shooting threat within 3 days,he also had a classmate purposely bring a knife,I kept him home for 2 weeks before I begrudgingly let him go back
In my school it's required to wear a clear bag, we have metal detectors and the security guards scan us with those metal detecting rods.
You are all very brave to watch this - this is painful to even think about, much less watch.
A week before the massive school shooting a student from my school also brought a gun to school and was planning to shoot it up. This just shows that anyone can get a gun,and make the decision of what to do next.Luckily some of his friends found out.They told the schools teachers because they didn’t think it was ok.We we’re on lockdown for about an hour and a half.I still think about how bad it would’ve went if they decided to keep quiet.(also I think the kid was just a freshman or sophomore)
That's so crazy!! And it doesn't matter if young people are banned from buying guns. They usually end up getting it from the black market or taking it from their parents.
@@chrisc1184 Which minor aged shooter got them from the black market? I only know about tragedies where they get them from irresponsible family members who don’t store them properly. Otherwise mass shooters usually obtain them legally. Many seem to wait until their 18th birthday because they can’t get their hands on one before then.
Seeing them cry and truly sympathize with the victims and their parents is heartwarming, considering people out there exist who simply don’t care unless it happens to them..
i have a 7 year old and i want to cry even if she simply asks me what i would do if something happened to her. i do not know what i would do. it's like Minji said - "his whole world was destroyed instantly". that exact feeling. we are lucky enough to live in a state w very strict gun laws, and also lucky enough that my girl attends a specialized school w strong security and no unauthorized entry. i'm thankful for that every day. i wish it could be like that everywhere. we are the only modernized, "first world" country this regularly happens in. even "developing" countries don't deal w this issue. "the right to bear arms" was conceived when guns could only fire one shot every minute or two. the Founding Fathers did not imagine or wish for this. we must join the rest of the world in banning assault weapons / weapons of war for civilian use. no exceptions. only individuals w an incredibly warped mindset believe the things depicted in these videos, are "the price we must pay" for what they deem is "personal freedom".
It always shocks me that the fear I hold along with millions upon millions of others is NOT normal. I was on a list at one point. We had locked downs. I shouldn’t have to say that I am lucky that those threats never came true but I AM LUCKY.
I’m so tired of being scared.
I cried so hard watching this it hurts to know that this has become everyday life in a place we call home. I currently do not have children and would love to have them some day but things like this make me rethink on whether it is safe enough to bring a life into this world.
A quote thay struck me while watching this, "You have to keep on being a parent, even though you don’t get to have a child anymore."
(From Glee).
And the sad reality is, this is what those parents and many others go through and STILL the US won't tighten and fix their gun laws across all States.
I live only an hour and 30 minutes away from Uvalde. I always think, what if it was my school that got shot. We're only an hour and 30 minutes away. I have a friend that went to Robb Elementary when he was little, and he saw the news the following day of the shooting. He told me that if it happened just less than 10 years ago, he could've died too. We're so close to Uvalde, we could've been the target. Anything can happen.
I’m from Del Río Texas we are a few minutes away from Uvalde Texas were the shooting was… it was so difficult to us. I was on my last week of high school when we received the notice :( I do not have family over there but when we go and help the community it was devastating even if did not knew anyone. I gave all my prayers to them 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
imagine the horror seeing a little girl covered in blood head to toe, only to find out the blood belonged to your own child.
im bricked
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings to our sister city here in Texas.
You are 100% correct, no child should live in fear or be murdered at an early innocent age, EVER!
We all need to stand up and stop the violence against the people who their only goal in life is to hurt innocent people/children.
🙏❤️
I live in the neighboring city that the Uvalde shooting happened in and it was the most devastating news to hear. I graduated the week this happened and we held a moment of silence for the victims of the shooting, and it was the most serious i had ever seen my class. It showed how close to home it was for a lot of us and how tragic this event was. Even for me, my dad had worked clinic at this school years ago and he broke down hearing this news. People at my school lost some family from this. It truly is the worst thing to have heard happen. These kids were just looking forward to summer and this happened. My heart seriously goes out to these families and these "thoughts and prayers" will never be enough to give justice to the kids and the families. Even at my school we've had multiple shooting threats and bomb threats that were NEVER taken seriously. There needs to be a stop to this cause it will just keep happening. When is the end to this?
I cant even watch this full thing, the pure sadness,anger, and confusion.... it's just too much, something NO ONE should go through, I just wish the best for all the families of the victims.
Im so traumatized by mall shootings , one time i was shopping for groceries and i heard a loud bang . I started running fast and then it was just the employees moving things . Thats how bad its got to the point i hear a noise and i start running
Thank you for touching on this... as a teacher I can't help but cry everytime I think about it.
It's amazing that people want to come live in America. If I could, I'd move to Canada or the UK.
Before 2016, I could understand it. Life here in America wasn’t perfect but it was pretty good. Since that evil person (Trump) was unleashed on our country it has not been the same. He only stirred up hate & division and set some truly evil things in motion. Now, I can understand why people wouldn’t want to come here.
I know I'm late but my dad loves me more then my own mother
I also know that a tragedy occurred in Korea. over 100 teenagers died in an accident called the Ferry Sewol accident. I think you guys should cover it too!! So other Americans and people around the world know some of the tragedies that happened in Korea as well and how strongly it impacted their government laws.
That tragedy has been covered a lot by a lot of korean youtubers and other korean media. Most people know about that tragedy and know about its consequences.
@@sambatra6162 Yes but the fans of THOSE TH-camrs know. Maybe a lot from this one doesn't :) and i feel it's very important because a lot of people STILL don't know!
It seems like they get shown things that they aren’t exposed to in Korea, so why would they be shown a really infamous moment in modern Koreas history?
Yes omg. When I first watched videos about that incident I cried for hours straight. Its so tragic that so many young people died💔 A similar thing happened in Norway when around 69 teens and adults were killed on an Island
There were reports going around that officers that had children going to that school went in and only saved their kids and not the others. It hurts so much
For me the hardest thing to hear about Ulvade was that a young student called out to the police after their room was shot, the shooter heard them, turned around and further gunshots were heard. The police had already left the building. its such an infuriating situation
I’ve been to uvalde many times growing up and hearing that news was so heart breaking
I have a high schooler and a middle schooler and I am afraid every day that I send them to school and have been for years. They are both afraid as well. This year there was an incident where the high school contacted parents to let us know they found a student with a (supposedly unloaded) gun and that he had been taken into custody and was being dealt with by the appropriate authorities, but they never told the kids. I just hug them both a little tighter every morning. Even though they have the option for virtual classes, both of them have ADHD and were virtual schooled through 2020 because of COVID regulations, and it was a horrible solution for both of them. Led to a lot of depression, anxiety, and failing classes because they had trouble understanding the content when the teacher wasn't in the room with them. So unfortunately those virtual classes are not for everyone.
The fact remains that it's not just schools. It's everywhere. I am afraid for my life every time I leave my house. I order groceries instead of going to the grocery store myself, and every time I go to the bank or the gym or anywhere else I wonder if there might be someone just waiting to kill everyone in the building.
It's unfortunate that our country has been so broken with the two party political system for so long. That even when we are able to elect people who actually want to do something about it, we are fucked over by the gun-loving psychopaths elected in red states blocking the laws put on the floor.
I really do wish it were easier to emigrate to other countries, because the US is SO screwed up it might as well be a third world country by now, and it's disturbing that people in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY can see it but half the people in this one are too stupid to.
Even a month later, I’m still horrified by the massacre.
R.I.P. to the victims

It is so incredibly frustrating in a way words can’t describe to live in Texas. Especially when things like this happen.
My mother is a high school teacher. My brother just graduated high school. I was in college this past year, and the way almost every day but especially after this happened, I prayed and hoped that they would be safe. That every time we had a shooting drill or warning that they were safe. My mom is in charge of locking the doors of one building and that’s such a dangerous and important position, and every time I was stuck in a dark room with my other classmates, I hoped that she was okay. That my brother was okay. And now, I have to beg and plea and pray that my mom will be safe since my brother and I are off to college now. I need her to be safe, miles and miles away from both of us.
When people talk about arming the teachers, I just can’t take them seriously because I imagine my mom. My mom with her 20+ years in education just trying to make it to 3 more so she can retire after we finish college. My mom who has never held a gun in her life, who just wants to help her students succeed and keep them safe. My mom who should never be put in this position. It is frustrating to live in Texas when they care and act about all the wrong things and hem and haw when change is demanded.
The amount that Texas cares about issues like this is disgusting. None of the children should ever be afraid of going to school. No parent should ever have to lose their child, especially like this.
Watching this before going to training is a bad idea 🥰
The little boy from South Carolina was near my hometown. About 20 mins away. The teenager stole the gun from his dads safe and walked to the elementary school. The kids were outside for recess and the shooter shot him in the leg and it hit his major artery and he lost too much blood. I believe the shooter also killed his own father.
I am American and unfortunately I have been exposed to this media so much and so often that I can watch this with a sad face, nit because I don't care but because there are no more tears in me left to cry I remember when sandy hook happened it was less than 45 minutes away from my school and I was in kindergarten at the time- my parents had to tell their 6 year old child how to hide from a shooter in my classroom.
Minji, your tears show your kind heart. I could see it in the other OSSC members faces. It's a sad state of affairs here in the U.S. with mass shootings, in my 69 years I have never seen this. I live in Florida where 17 were murdered in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High and 49 were murdered in the Pulse Night Club just to name a few. Being a father, my thoughts go out to the parents. Thanks OSSC for your concern and making this video available world wide.
I really, really hate that as I read your comment I thought "Oh, I forgot about Pulse." Lord, how is it that this has happened so many times that I forgot the deaths of 49 people? Something has got to give.
@@catbuster101 Because it has become an everyday occurrence is why we forget.
I was bawling all the entire video. I can never imagine the pain and fear when this happens. I hope this is the last one
When I was in school(middle, elementary and high school) shooting threats were commonplace and I had constant anxiety in school. It’s one of the reasons my mom is making me do college in Canada-cause America has been going down the shit spiral, with human rights, gun controls and internal terrorism. I’m less likely to become a victim in Canada vs Florida.
Aww I love this young man about his daughter 😭....
only in america... where a middle schooler can have access to guns before they can even drink alchohol or learn to drive.... not just any gun ..a gun that's purpose is to take out a lot in ashort amount of time
We absolutely know how unacceptable this is. So many of us are fighting over here for SOMETHING to be done about it, but it's extremely frustrating. We agree, it's ridiculous and we're absolutely tired of it. Many of us here are starting to just get numb. Our children do active shooter drills at school. I've been through active shooter training at my job because this is such an issue.
Guns are so uncontrolled in America it’s actually insane. And they aren’t even doing anything about it. They would rather protect guns than children at this point.
Oh look. Reasonable people reacting appropriately.
The first video happened in my state of Texas. It happened in May of this year. There were 376 law enforcement officers there at the school. Several different law enforcement agencies there. They waited 77 minutes before finally going into the classroom and killing the shooter. That day the police officers were cowards. But by the time they finally breached the classroom 19 children and 2 teachers were dead. And 17 more children were injured. The shooter had an AR15 rifle and had so much ammunition (bullets). They killed the shooter.
The police were scared to confront this 18 yr old shooter because he had that AR15. But the police were heavily armed as well with body armor, bullet proof vests and shields. But they were scared. Our state of Texas has a governor who set policy that all adults can carry a weapon, no permit needed. No background check. No training at all. The parents of Uvalde, Texas were hysterical. Screaming and crying and begging to go in so that they could try to save their children. One young mother broke away from the police and ran in and saved her 2 young sons along with others. They tired to arrest this mother. Our governor said "it could have been worse." He should be so ashamed of himself because he's made it to where anyone at least 18 yrs old can buy a gun no questions asked. This was a tragedy and not the 1st mass school shooting in the state of Texas. I'm heartbroken. 💔😞😓
The one thing I'll never forget is a father being asked questions about his dead son, the man was working in a field picking crops only a few days after the shooting, he couldn't take the time off to mourn his son. Think about that.
I'm all for people wanting to buy guns for protection or hunting game but people should not have access to military grade weapons. And I support raising the age to buy a gun cause 18 year olds should not be worrying about buying a gun, they should be focused on school or working. But of course the u.s. politicians are not gonna get anything done and the cycle will repeat the next time a school shooting happens.
we’re not mature enough to have a beer until we’re 21, but we can buy a military grade weapon at 18. make it make sense.
guns for "protection" is the reason you have this problem. mentally ill people think everyone is out to get them/gangstalking them
@@user-vm6mw5xw7o can't even buy a lighter at 18...but an AR15, no big deal. can't make that make sense.
Drugs are illegal how’s that working?
the democrats planned this out he had been flagged 2 weeks before so they knew
@@dvillanueva524 take your meds
im crying just watching a reaction to news coverage of these tragedies. i cant even begin to imagine how angry and sorrowful these parents feel.
They literally just stood there while those kids were killed and their teachers.
I'm so sorry for all americans. This is heart breaking. The hatred among their own people has reached so far it makes me sad.
These past few weeks have been very taxing emotionally and mentally for a lot of Americans. Even though I do not have any children myself, I have a young niece and nephew who are going to be school-age soon. I really, really hope my brother and his wife decide to homeschool because sending them off everyday while being unsure of if they'll return home safely is just so terrifying. School shootings are not "a side effect of a free society," as some Americans seem to think. It is an entirely preventable tragedy that can be possible with stricter gun laws. I have no fantasies about completely abolishing guns, of course, but AT LEAST make it harder for those unqualified to get them. Also, I personally see no need for automatic/semiautomatic weapons in the hands of normal civilians, that is just ridiculous to me.
You can't get automatic weapons
Put your money where your mouth is, move to the country of your choice, and formally renounce your US citizenship if our freedom is too taxing for you.
These videos are the most honest depictions of what it's like here in the US. The problem will get worse.
i work as a summer camp counselor and i just had to teach my kids escape routes in case theres a gun threat….teaching 2-4 graders how to hide from people who want to kill them. it made my heart sink
Maybe the whole "no guns allowed here" law was a stupid idea and should be gotten rid of.
@@crwilliams4597 personally, I don't think the answer to violence is to implement more violence if thats what you're implying
@nyanco1746 Okay I guess the first reply did not go through.
What universe are you in to sit back and go "Children are being slaughtered by an evil asshole but committing any form of violence against them to prevent the slaughter of children is not okay!"?
Do the world a favor, shut up about your faux concern for the children and get out of the way of the responsible faculty having the tools to be better prepared to deal with said assholes.
It is of very little consolation but his daughter's blood saved a classmate.
This is a constant thing here in America. I don't know when guns became more valued the children. It makes you wish gaining residency in another country was easier. It's heartbreaking. It's in the news almost daily.
i’ve been waiting for this vid since the news in uvalde. i remember this channel’s reaction to previous school shootings
Cops did a terrible job they didn’t handle this well
oh my god. i have never sobbed harder watching a video.
last month a 10th grader at my school walked in with 3 guns. the school did not alert students nor parents. the only reason we found out was because the kid was escorted out by police. there has been bomb and shooting threats but the school never tells anyone unless the students find out about it and spread it.
HOLY SHIT WHAT⁉️⁉️⁉️
3 GUNS⁉️
Same my principle was keeping inside the school while some kid had a weapon the mayor went to the school board to get him fired
The school NEVER tells us. The only way I found out that someone was going to do something at school was from other students hours before the school told us
Wtf. If a gun threat happens to a school in my country it comes on the local news and stuff
Damn that's crazy. What state are you in where this happened?
