His heartbreak on the stand during the trial was beyond heartbreaking. I’ll never forget him, his wife or his beautiful daughter that was taken too soon. Gina would be so proud of her dad.
I feel like every person should watch this trial to get an intimate glimpse into the horrible effects of mass murders. This will go down as one of the worst things to ever happen to children at school. It's sad that Uvalde and countless other shootings occurred after Parkland.
I absolutely agree with you. People everywhere think this can’t happen to them and their loved ones. My daughter was born the day before Columbine. I thought it was a horrible tragedy but hopefully an isolated incident. Obviously, I was very wrong.
Agreed 👏🏽 this trial is has truly opened my eyes as well! Sadly it seems that these types of things happen so often we are all a bit desensitized and that in its self is a tragedy
He is incredible. This trial has opened my eyes so much. I can’t fathom why, how, or how much they’ve been through. I wish more people were hearing and seeing these videos.
This parent is working hard to make changes to help other parents from having to walk in his shoes. I assure you he is not doing this for the money. No amount of money will bring back his beautiful daughter. So whereas he could have just taken the FBI settlement money and the School board payouts and rolled over to be consumed in his grief he chose another path to improve things in the future for children and their families. Many of these families are highly educated and accomplished individuals. Their efforts should be applauded and supported. I wish them all healing and keep them in my prayers.
wonderfully said. I bet every single one of these parents would give back every cent they had if it meant they could have their child back. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
I understand your sentiment but clearly they can’t be applauded and supported if the policies they are trying to implement are not constitutional or good.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 i would say there’s nothing particularly constitutional about sending your child off to school and them never coming back home. this is the reality for a growing number of parents. even if you don’t agree, i don’t understand why you can’t let the parents have this one thing they believe in. let them talk. this country will always put revenue and guns over its citizens. no one’s taking your guns. but the people with guns are taking our children. have a nice day.
This is a very good interview. So much respect to Mr. Montalto and the interviewer. It is always so important for families to talk about their loved ones, thank you for asking him about that first. My heart goes out to Mr. Montalto and all the families affected by this tragedy. Gina will never be forgotten.
Thank you for doing this interview, Tony. It may sound strange but I feel you daughter is supporting you. I'm so sorry for your loss and am giving love to your family.
God Bless Gina. She is very proud of you and I feel the best we can do for these poor children who lost their lives is spread this word and make school safety changes to keep our babies safe. Thank you, Mr. Montalto. 🕯 😇
What a horrific thing to happen. There were so many times when there could have been some intervention including a call from someone who interacted with the killer online and notified the FBI...who did nothing. Have there been any real consequences for those that should have acted before and while these young people were killed?
Mr. Montalto, I am very sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I am a mother of a 15 year old young man and I am signing up on the web site to answer those 5 questions and I will do what I can in honor of those beautiful children and teachers that lost their lives too soon. School is not the place anyone should feel unsafe nor should it be the last place our children takes their last breath. This honestly horrifies and terrifies me which makes me want to home school my son but he doesn’t want out of school, he’s a football player, has many friends and he loves school. So this Mama Bear just prays and gives it to God to look over all children in schools. You are my inspiration for stepping up and getting my voice heard on this matter in the future school board meeting. Thank you for all that you do and for the info. Sending healing hugs to you and your family from Alabama. ❤️
This trial has definitely given me a glimpse of the damage and pain inflicted on the family and friends of the people that were murdered in this tragedy. Thwy weren't just victims or a number, they were people with lives and futures that were stolen from them.
I watched an interview of a young adult Texan who said that the kids in his high school could bring their guns to school as long as they kept them in their lockers. Americans need armed guards, locked fences and drills in their schools. This is not normal. I didn't realize that the Parkland shooter had so many visits from law enforcement. The couple who took him in allowed him to bring his guns into their home. They said he appeared normal! The kid I see in court is not normal. His brother said he'd been bullied for being different. Gun control doesn't mean that the govt is coming for your guns. Taking guns away from someone like Cruz or not arming teachers is gun control. It's not all or nothing.
Illegal unconstitutional gun control doesn't stop or prevent anything or protect anyone. Gun control makes everyone a potential victim,it enables and promotes crimes, allowing criminals to carry out their criminal actions without worry of repercussions for their actions. Criminals don't follow and obey laws that's why they are called criminals,no bill is going to stop or prevent anything or protect anyone.
@@bobtodd4588 neoliberal capitalism is bound to create few winners and tons of losers. Losers that no matter how hard they would try, are never going to make it on top. So their outlook for life is pretty desillusioning. Some become mentally ill because the US American system is a failure to a lot of people. Drugs, legal and illegal, make life more bearable. Access to guns for once makes the loser powerful. A feeling they would otherwise never have..... you should look at states that have functioning social systems and more restrictions on access to weapons. Might learn something or find a solution.
Everytime i see Tony's face, my heart cries out to God in heaven. My own heart is broken for the Montalto family and all the families that live with an immeasurable amount of pain. May Jesus give you peace that surpasses understanding and may God and The Holy Spirit comfort your family until your joined together again in heaven. Much love going your way 🧡
God Bless these families. What they are going through is horrific!! They shouldn’t have to fight to push these laws through. There should be ZERO resistance!!
My heart goes out to this man and everyone else effected by this event! It’s must be a real tragedy losing a child; however, I object to taking advice from him on how to prevent future school massacres!
I am very proud of him and all the other parents turning their grief into not only ideas but action to help save others from these tragedies. I think it was disgusting the guy who saw Cruz going to the school & decided not to stop him since he feared being hurt when others especially children not only got shot but lost their lives forever that is a permanent thing. He even said that he thought if anyone would shoot up a school it would be him yet very little was done to notify anyone or prevent that. That is ridiculous the school did not warn the parents probably only to not freak anyone out and have them remove the kids from the school better to get money even if it means risking the kids lives wow way to go school board. It is one thing if you do not notice or see warning signs it is another to ignore them completely and not warn others more could have been done to prevent such horrible things from occurring.
I have been watching the trial and all the pain of these families of lost one’s and injured victims have gone through there’s only one out come of this trial he should get the death penalty I hope justice is served in this evil act that was committed.God bless all the families this has effected may they find peace one day
Exactly, and murder is against the law as well yet once again criminals show no regard for laws. People really think a peice of paper will stop shootings and that we are just going to hand them over 😒
Literally nothing. People seem to think school shootings are a new thing but they've been happening in the US since 1776. They got a lot more deadly after WWII and the internet made it easier to hear about them but the US has always been like this. Also, the AR-15 is a semi-automatic .22 which is one of the weakest and most popular types of rifles in the world. My first gun when I was just 14 years old was a .22 semi-automatic and I live in Canada. It's the baby gun you teach your kids to shoot on. The AR-15 looks fancy but it's nothing special. If you're going to have any legal guns the AR-15 will be among them.
@@abebuckingham8198 agree. amazing how little the average person knows about firearms. in 66 there was the texas tower shooter, then in 79 the "i dont like mondays" girl who shot up a a school in SD with a ruger 10/22. next was the 84 mcdonalds shooting and then the 89 stockton shooting...after that it became pretty common. the country is in steep decline, mostly due to the rotten culture. easy to blame guns when its anything but guns...
In our district we have bullet proof pods in the rooms that the teachers use as reading or small group pull out centers, but can be used as a safe space during situations like this. All districts should implement this. It's expensive, but our children are worth it. God bless this father and the other parents for turning their grief into action.
come on USA of north america it's time for national healthcare from Conception till death along with gun control laws. The downfall is at the edge of the precipice, just pick any modern developed countries gun laws copy it , model it and apply it.
Sure, as long as we copy every single thing about that country too. For example, Germany. Let’s copy everything about that country- its demographics, its history, its laws, its system of government….
I’m good, I don’t want to give up my right and my hobby and what I love to do because someone misused a firearm. That’s like saying we need to take away cars because someone’s drunk uncle killed a family of 3 while drunk driving
Reading about Gina's GSW gave me chills...she was the only victim who had contact wounds (meaning NC physically pressed his gun against her body). I feel like NC may have been attracted to her and took out his rage out on her!
Dear Deb, guess? how many parents of the school shootings noticed that immediately following their kids school shooting that the usual sounds of gunfire explosions sirens screaming agony crying for help from their kids bedrooms stopped? The Combat Rampage Killing Simulation Exercise video gaming activities went hush! I wonder why....all of a sudden blood lust was somehow not appealing that night?? hmmmm
I fell so bad for the family she was so beautiful so horrible this happened to all the victims God bless all the family's to he is a wonderful father he loves he's daughter very much this is so sad this happened God bless all.
The simple fact is all these shooters are all young people.Age limits should be the first thing done. Every school should have a councilor. If theirs a thousand children you can guarantee 10% are going through issues or traumas at some point in their school year .As a society Surley that's money well spent for a healthy society The cost of one councilor split between 1000 families is minimal. They need a system were students are encouraged to in confidence tell teachers they have a friend going through issues . Flaggable trauma such as the death of a family member or parents splitting up should be an automatic trigger for counseling. Kids that don't fit in and don't have friends is the biggest sign they need help. This ain't rocket science we just need to build it into our systems
Or just lock them up. Its obvious this small minority of troubled individuals (teens/adults) are danger to themselves but mostly danger to others. By locking them up, you remove the risk to the others. U.S. has more school shootings than any country in the world, has more even if you add up all EU countries.
“All these shooters are young people”… um, so you’re under the impression that no one over the age of 21 commits murder…? I’m sorry to say that the majority of murders are committed by people well over the age of 21. Also, I don’t think it’s the government’s business to tell my kid when he or she needs “counseling”….
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 True, majority is done by 18+. Also 99.9% are male. (There is a pdf file of school shootings since 1966 and gender F appears very rarely)
@@STCatchMeTRACjRo True. Problem is people forget that the vast majority of murders, not to mention the vast majority of shootings, have nothing to do with schools. I was a police detective for years and investigated plenty of murders, and not one of them took place in a school, and only a small minority committed by minors.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 even so.. there is 4 times more school shootings even if you add up all EU school shootings. Also schools shouldn't be a safe heaven for kids/teens?
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 That there are so many school shootings it's hard to keep them sorted out. This is a uniquely American problem with a uniquely American cause.
@@abebuckingham8198 Hardly. The only reason you think that is because the news doesn’t cover Latin America, Africa, Middle East. It was a lot worse overseas when I was deployed.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 I wish that was true but the fact is the US is far more criminal than you'd think. You have to cherry-pick the worst countries on Earth to find places more dangerous than the US. Most countries in Africa have a lower violent crime rate. More countries in the Middle East do too. Of course, countries in the US sphere of influence also have higher violent crime rates, like Mexico and Latin America, but that's largely because of the US causing political instability after WWII and flooding them with guns. Notice that lowering your standards doesn't make the US better, it just means you've given up. Do better.
@@abebuckingham8198 “US is far more criminal than you’d think”. You’re speaking to someone who’ served as a police detective for years. Why would you think that I wouldn’t “think” or would “think” a certain way, since I’m an expert on the topic? Also, I am from Latin America, grew up there, many decades ago. It was no better then than now. My father grew up in Latin America in the 1920s, and I can assure you it was no better then than now. None of it has anything to do with “flooding guns” into Latin America, nor “political instability” caused by the US. I have a feeling you’ve never set foot in Latin America, nor do you even speak the language. Would I be correct? And thanks, but some rando anonymous poster online doesn’t rate to be telling others imperiously to “do better”.
Seems like they need to put those heavy doors in classrooms where maybe the teachers can have a panic button where if the push it the door will shut and lock. Maybe make the window part bullet proof.
It truly pusses me off...4 years later...and nothing has been done to stop these horrific things from happening...it wasn't long ago that the Uvalde shootings happened... not even 6 months after parkland...Sante fe... How did we get here? Unacceptable in every way... My thoughts and prayers got out to all the victims and their families... And God help us...hopefully this never happens again....but...without tougher legislation....it's as if we are all just waiting for the next
I understand where you’re coming from, but it isn’t legislation that’s the problem. I was a police officer for years, and even though legislation against murder, robbery, and burglary were passed, people are still murdering, robbing, and burglarizing other people.
Billions of people on this earth and each one of those humans is responsible for their own actions. No matter what we do it’ll be hard to “control” the sudden impulse urges or plans of these types of people, especially if they don’t tell anyone.

@@historyandhorseplaying7374 Clearly though, stricter gun legislation has helped create an environment in Europe with drastically fewer school shootings. American politicians have had plenty of time to address the school shooting problem. Gun sales have gone up YoY since the 90s (school shootings and general gun-related fatalities with them) and in 2009 the US became the only country in the world with more guns than citizens. Despite the majority of Americans being in favor of making guns harder to get (the poll was something like 68% last time I checked this summer, boosted by Uvalde for sure but up from above 50%), the NRA, Republican senators, and certain Republican governors, are able to keep the status quo or even make it easier to get guns. There are of course other things that can be done, but things like fortifying schools and teaching kids how to spot the next school shooter are obviously band-aids on top of a more deeply rooted problem that the political system is currently too compromised to fix.
@@Flygsand A). Yes, Europe has far fewer school shootings… but also far less freedom and many other conditions that I wouldn’t want in the US. I grew up in Europe and then was stationed in Europe for years, and I don’t want ANY part of Europe. Trust me, years of living in Germany (among other laces) taught me that I don’t want my country to be anything like Germany. B) Guns sales have definitely gone up hugely, which means that guns are very popular. I just read that the number of Ar’s in the US, and keep in mind this is JUST Ar’s, which is only one brand/type of firearm, is more numerous than the number of F-series Ford pick up trucks on the road today (and the F series is one of the most common vehicles in the US today). And that’s not even taking into account all the other myriad of other types of firearms available. So clearly, they are popular and are in what the Supreme Court termed “common use”. Therefore, it is not true that the majority of Americans think firearms should be “harder to get”, that is, “harder” for ordinary citizens to get. It is not “the NRA” who is doing this - I’ve never been a member of the NRA- it is the PEOPLE who are in favor of the status quo. I keep hearing the old chestnut about the “NRA” and “Republicans”-- but yet everyone I know, none of whom is NRA or Republican, feels the same way. C). Since you don’t feel the “status quo” is adequate, can you tell me what our solution is? I’ve been a police officer for years, so I’m curious. Also, what is your professional experience in law enforcement, or with firearms in general?
What a concept.. make a law that does give law enforcement the power to take guns away from people who do seem to be a threat to people and themselves!!
Nobody wants there to ever be another mass shooting, whether at a school or elsewhere. I'm just not sure that getting on tv or the internet at every opportunity for 4+ years will make any headway toward that goal. That would seem to put a parent in a holding pattern instead of trying to move forward. As a parent, I feel as bad for these folks as anybody can.
The slippery slope that will be taken advantage of with the terminology "weapons of war"by the anti-gunners. If you want to get technical a 9 mm Glock pistol or any semi-automatic pistol would be considered a weapon of War as they are also issued to our troops. I do not care what anyone says to me but they want nothing short of an absolute band on all semi-automatic weaponry.. the problem lies with the number of said weapons already in circulation. There are almost 100 million more guns than there are physical bodies on the American streets so good luck getting them all back uncle sam.
if those 100 million more guns were the problem we would be seeing a way worse epidemic on our hands. It is that we don't take mental health seriously and that we just let kids think it is normal. It is never normal to wish harm on yourself or others. I mean what is mental health nowadays anymore? The person is the problem, not the weapon. We see 10s of thousands of deaths from cars every year, but we don't see a problem with cars...
@@TRIGGEREDHarambe That’s because cars are a necessary part of daily life in many parts of the world, and in some places they are very strictly regulated. In small places like Macau and Singapore they’re so expensive to own that it’s harder to own a car there than a gun in California. And the problem with mental health is that treatment only works if the person is willing to work with the doctors. It’s not like medicine which will work on your body whether you think it will or not. Then of course there’s the fact that many mass shooters are not mentally ill
I sympathize with these parents. The only way you can possibly stop mass murders is to stop the one doing it. How? You can't, I don't see how one can identify whats in a person's mind. There may be hi ts, but who's looking? It's a horrific reality, all we can do is live life and hope for the best......
Parents need to parent. Stop giving their kids so much freedom. More boundaries. As more questions. Talk to their kids teachers on a regular basis. Go through their kids rooms, ect.
@@redscope897 Americans are not just from “western” countries, and there’s no reason the US has to be like a “western” country. Also, all of Latin America is literally “western countries”, yet they have incredibly bad problems with shootings of all kinds.
@@redscope897 I'd say the problem is politicians being bought by the NRA and how rampant corruption is regardless of political party. I do agree with you on pretty much everything else.
@@redscope897 taking guns away leads to far more problems than it does solving them. That's very well documented throughout world history and is the reason why it's in the US's constitution. It wouldn't even solve the school shootings. It would turn them into bombings or stabbings. The only way to solve the issue is by making the family unit a priority again. Parents need to understand that parenting is more than keeping their kid alive and entertained. Guns have been around for centuries. School shootings is a fairly new issue, that's still rare. Kids are more likely to die in the car ride on the way to school, statistically. So blaming guns is laughable and an extremely shallow thought process.
You said, with all the respect,that changed the law for the age 18 to 21,for someone to buy a firearm.. SO at Uvalde, how the killer was 18 and 3 days after his birthday, purchased the guns and shoot at the school killing again so many young children children ?? Why do you Americans want to have guns,and especially such a type of guns as firearms,Which they are military/war guns to defend yourself,or hunt as you said??you are going to hunt dragons, dinosaurs or Big foot is going to rob your house and want those types of guns,as AK-47??
They are not military guns. The firearms the military have and use are very different. These are just ordinary semi auto rifles. Even police officers all over the US carry them.
@@geoffpoole483 Are they? Can you give examples of non-military firearms that are as effective in combat situations as military weapons? And, can you define “effective”?
SKS is very effective, top load semi 10 round clip. 5.56 nato hollow point or mercury filled is very effective but 7.6 packs a nice thud when hitting a body and a thump when hitting a vest.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 If the magazine capacity is more than four rounds it's an assault weapon, less for shotguns. I know you're so used to every gun being an assault weapon that you've lost any meaningful sense of what they are but that's just an American thing. Everyone else on Earth knows what they are and treats them accordingly.
Cruz was one sick person for years leading up to this day, however he purchased the firearm legally and followed FL state laws in effect at the time of purchase. Nothing would have prevented this short of trained, armed officers on campus during the incident. An inanimate object is not the problem and restricting gun access on law-abiding citizens is not the solution. It is an issue starting from home and the values instilled in children from infancy to adulthood. I do agree that this individual should have been flagged by law enforcement for his behavior for the year or so leading up to the shooting, but understandably not every tip can be acted upon.
Yes. The issue is that we live in a society with a severe mental health crisis. It has been caused by a breakdown in the nuclear family. So many children grow up without parental love and guidance. Those individuals then, at times, grow up to hate society.
I don’t believe you’re even listening to this man speaking. He addresses and disproves your claims. And 40 tips can’t be acted on? It’s now possible in many states with the new legislation passed. The Oxford shooting - the shooter was in the principal s office a few hours before the shooting. Yes, this could have been prevented with this legislation.
Watching this definitely has opened my eyes. I know some middle and high schools here in South Carolina have metal detectors, back pack and purse checks, school officers that are armed, and lock doors to the classrooms as well, but I think that every school should have a panic button in each classroom. Every state should pass these bills and acts to keep our children and teachers safe.
@Edwin They do the searches to make sure students don't have anything that can be used as a weapon in school. I agree that shootings can happen anywhere. I do not think they are turning schools into a prison. I just think that schools located in high crime rate areas are trying to protect their students and teachers as best as they can.
Along with one point entry, all exterior doors need an alarm to a central room that is resistant to tornadoes or hurricanes and each classroom having loudspeakers to announce a door has been breached and where that door is. The doors need to be bullet resistant which is feasible. Some wealthy homes have them. The panic alarm is great, then too law enforcement should have a quick response team that is trained to breach to a barricaded suspect and the AR15's to be able to match the criminal's fire power. Yes this would cost money, But I know as far as I am concerned my children and every child is well worth the expense!!!! The US needs to re-open the mental hospitals we used to have when I was a young boy. There will always be those that are not well in the mind, our jails are ill equipped to handle them, and jails can not hold the person beyond their sentence!!! The last 7 years of my career with the jails was served in the Psychiatric Unit at my local jail, while on medication these inmates were semi normal, but let them skip a few doses and they were back to square one!!!! Our children and grandchildren are the most important people as they will be our future leaders. It pains me to know Tony had to go through the pain of loosing his beautiful daughter at 14, I never experienced that, but as a law enforcement officer I witnessed the permanent damage it causes!!! This video should be required of each person in government, local, state and federal to watch this entire video and be graded on it's content. Then go to work to everything in their power to hopefully stop school shootings. I went to school from 1963 to 1976, not once did we have any shootings in school or even close by!!!!
I think questions need to be asked - why is it there are so many scshool shootings in the 2010's, in the 1950's up to 1980's guns were just as legal infact there were less restrictions on guns back then. Yet there were far less shootings. So why is it now there are so many shootings? Something about American society has gone badly wrong in the past 20 years for this to keep happening, why is it US young people now suffer so much despair and anger, a lot of them have no hope for the future either they just see themselves stuck in a low wage job pointlessly toiling until they die. Or look at Elliot Rodger he had big problems fitting in with people, it seems in the 1950's it was a lot easier to fit in, find your high school sweetheart, settle down marry have kids and be happy. But now people aren't marrying, childbirth is down a lot, people are a lot lonelier and less happy than ever before. People are just focusing on gun ownership which is like focusing on 1 symptom rather than focusing on the cause. If all of a sudden lots of people started driving into walls at full speed you wouldn't be asking questions about accelerator peddles and brakes, you would be asking why people are doing this now.
No no, we must sue companies who made completely legal products under government scrutiny, or people who exercise their first amendment rights. Surely you've watched your daily dose of mainstream TV in recent years to understand this?
Anything they can do to keep busy I guess. It helps them find meaning in life after they lose their kids. It's sad to know they'll never make any difference at all.
Who was the guy in full body armor the one teacher stated she saw? What was in the heavy duffel bags removed from the school immediately following the shooting? Why would evidence be removed from a crime scene? Why did multiple students report more than one shooter?
Governor DeSantis continues to make our schools safe. There is a 3 step process to get to the front door of our public schools. There are more than frequent active shooter drillers. Flashing light systems have been installed to communicate to the students during an active shooter event. I began homeschooling the day after the Parkland Tragedy and still do. But I do so for other reasons and not active shooter concerns.
DeSantis can't make your school safes because the 2nd amendment is a federal law and he can't repeal it. Nothing will change in the US until that happens and they aren't going to do that. They choose to live like this every day and nothing will change. You just have to accept that Americans want to live in a murderous society. It's just who they are.
please tell the whole world the murder case of a policeman in Indonesia, it is suspected that the culprit is a police general This is a very viral news in Indonesia.
All Americans need to learn gun control laws and enforcement of said laws (background checks, licenses, permits, bans, weapons (gun)free zones, red flag laws) are crimes under title 18 U.S.C. sections 241 conspiracy against rights and 242 deprivation of rights under color of law. All gun stores,dealers should be sued when they do background checks or ask for permits/licenses for conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of law, they are conspiring with the state/federal government against Americans constitutionally protected rights (liberties) and depriving American citizens of their constitutionally protected rights (liberties). U.C.C. 1-308 all rights reserved with extreme prejudice, Freedom of speech.
That's because to solve this problem you do have to repeal the 2nd amendment. Until then you choose to live in an exceptionally violent and brutal society. I think there is a misconception that American don't like seeing children murdered. They do. They love it so much they'll do anything in their power to make sure it keeps happening. The worship death there.
I think the teachers should be armed. The more armed people the better in that situation rather than just one person running around trying to find someone
It doesn't work and we know that because we tried already. Armed guards don't work either. When you're ambushed with a rifle people die almost every time. It doesn't matter if you're as prepared as possible, you can't stop an attack until it's too late. You could solve the problem the way it's been done all over the world. You just don't want to because Americans love guns so much they would rather let children die than fix it. They choose this.
Enforce the constitution of the united states of America the second amendment supreme law of the land, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed, stop infringing on American citizens constitutional rights and this crap would never be happening,an armed society is a polite society. U.C.C. 1-308 all rights reserved with extreme prejudice, Freedom of speech.

To be a detective requires years of TRAINING (that means classes, etc), as well as experience. Anyway, there is nothing more “credentialy” than a BADGE, awarded after the training/experience. Furthermore, experience clearly also makes one an expert. Someone who’s been doing heart surgery for decades is clearly more of an EXPERT than someone who just yesterday got their MD. Someone who’s been piloting aircraft for decades is clealry more of an expert than someone who just got their pilots license yesterday, and infinitely more so than someone who’s never entered an aircraft in their life. This father is the “person who’s never entered an aircraft in their life”, yet is trying to speak with authority on flying aircraft… or doing heart surgery… or making widgets… or whatever activity that they have no experience nor training to be involved in. He may not be less CAPABLE to speak-- in that he is certainly eligible to apply to his local police department and beginning accumulating training and experience. My 18 year year old son is just as CAPABLE as me to begin to accumulate knowledge, but doens’t have it yet. to say that this guy is as able as I am to speak on this subject, would be like saying that someone who’s never even finished high school is just as able to speak intelligently about heart surgery as a surgeon is. That’s why courts have “subject matter experts” come and speak to issues in court cases- not random people off the street. As for “there is no school of how to stop…”. On the contrary- one of the missions of law enforcement is to PREVENT CRIME. There are literally many, many schools and training on how ot prevent all kinds of crime, including shootings.
Ain’t gonna happen, I mean nice effort, genuine thoughts but not realistic...900 million guns in circulation in the world, in the USA one can buy, borrow, steal a gun anywhere. Schools have proven time and time they are really easy, easy, super easy targets, met with little to no resistance to infiltration, shooting fish in a bucket. Unless Combat experienced soldiers are protecting the school there is little to no hope, as proven over and over again, that School Resource or Local Law Enforcement are of little help. What’s really funny is all these kids playing mortal combat blood guts hunt down your targets video games curl up numb when reality checks in that now their being hunted the blood is real the screaming is real the smells are real. In my day we didn’t have such blood lust games, our school shooting left 2 dead 4 injured with 12 gauge pellets inside them, ha we were back in school the next day so what made us tougher to endure such an attack, our Principal said it best “ when it’s your time it’s your time, accept the Lords invitation to be by his side “.
yeah what will the solution be? probably they'll end up with automated AI controlled tranquilizer gun turrets, they will be in every hallway and when the AI senses someone with a gun it'll shoot a tranq dart lol. But the problem is the US high school students will probably take apart the tranq darts and drink the liquid to get high...
They tried that and it doesn't work. Gunmen only respond to a crime after it's been committed. If you stop the crime from happening in the first place, you don't need them. So just do that instead.

His heartbreak on the stand during the trial was beyond heartbreaking. I’ll never forget him, his wife or his beautiful daughter that was taken too soon. Gina would be so proud of her dad.
I feel like every person should watch this trial to get an intimate glimpse into the horrible effects of mass murders. This will go down as one of the worst things to ever happen to children at school. It's sad that Uvalde and countless other shootings occurred after Parkland.
I absolutely agree with you. People everywhere think this can’t happen to them and their loved ones. My daughter was born the day before Columbine. I thought it was a horrible tragedy but hopefully an isolated incident. Obviously, I was very wrong.
No one is questioning whether they want mass shooting, criminals are not supposed to have weapons of any kind....who's going to make them?
You should watch the 1984 Mcdonalds massacre document on prime, there is no more evil than this.
Agreed 👏🏽 this trial is has truly opened my eyes as well! Sadly it seems that these types of things happen so often we are all a bit desensitized and that in its self is a tragedy

Share them!! On ur page.
Mr Montalto, you are a brave and inspiring man.
This parent is working hard to make changes to help other parents from having to walk in his shoes. I assure you he is not doing this for the money. No amount of money will bring back his beautiful daughter. So whereas he could have just taken the FBI settlement money and the School board payouts and rolled over to be consumed in his grief he chose another path to improve things in the future for children and their families. Many of these families are highly educated and accomplished individuals. Their efforts should be applauded and supported. I wish them all healing and keep them in my prayers.
Anyone who claims that these parents are doing this for money should be outed and dealt with a.s.a.f.p
wonderfully said. I bet every single one of these parents would give back every cent they had if it meant they could have their child back. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
@@cjasonhendricks9722 “dealt with”….? How so, exactly? What do you have in mind?
I understand your sentiment but clearly they can’t be applauded and supported if the policies they are trying to implement are not constitutional or good.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 i would say there’s nothing particularly constitutional about sending your child off to school and them never coming back home. this is the reality for a growing number of parents. even if you don’t agree, i don’t understand why you can’t let the parents have this one thing they believe in. let them talk. this country will always put revenue and guns over its citizens. no one’s taking your guns. but the people with guns are taking our children. have a nice day.
This is a very good interview. So much respect to Mr. Montalto and the interviewer. It is always so important for families to talk about their loved ones, thank you for asking him about that first. My heart goes out to Mr. Montalto and all the families affected by this tragedy. Gina will never be forgotten.
Thank you for doing this interview, Tony. It may sound strange but I feel you daughter is supporting you. I'm so sorry for your loss and am giving love to your family.
God Bless Gina. She is very proud of you and I feel the best we can do for these poor children who lost their lives is spread this word and make school safety changes to keep our babies safe. Thank you, Mr. Montalto. 🕯 😇
Such a beautiful girl, she’s an angel now 👼 it breaks my heart for all affected 💔
Gina is such a beautiful soul. The world was truly robbed of a remarkable young lady. Thank you for sharing her story with us.
What a horrific thing to happen. There were so many times when there could have been some intervention including a call from someone who interacted with the killer online and notified the FBI...who did nothing. Have there been any real consequences for those that should have acted before and while these young people were killed?
Sending prayers out to Gina and her wonderful family. 🕯️💟🕯️

This man gives me so much hope.. hope that there are people out there who care and willing to make a change. Great ideas.. in so many ways.
Mr. Montalto, I am very sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I am a mother of a 15 year old young man and I am signing up on the web site to answer those 5 questions and I will do what I can in honor of those beautiful children and teachers that lost their lives too soon. School is not the place anyone should feel unsafe nor should it be the last place our children takes their last breath. This honestly horrifies and terrifies me which makes me want to home school my son but he doesn’t want out of school, he’s a football player, has many friends and he loves school. So this Mama Bear just prays and gives it to God to look over all children in schools. You are my inspiration for stepping up and getting my voice heard on this matter in the future school board meeting. Thank you for all that you do and for the info. Sending healing hugs to you and your family from Alabama. ❤️
This trial has definitely given me a glimpse of the damage and pain inflicted on the family and friends of the people that were murdered in this tragedy. Thwy weren't just victims or a number, they were people with lives and futures that were stolen from them.
I can not imagine, such a great loss....my heart hurts for all.
I watched an interview of a young adult Texan who said that the kids in his high school could bring their guns to school as long as they kept them in their lockers.
Americans need armed guards, locked fences and drills in their schools. This is not normal.
I didn't realize that the Parkland shooter had so many visits from law enforcement. The couple who took him in allowed him to bring his guns into their home. They said he appeared normal! The kid I see in court is not normal. His brother said he'd been bullied for being different.
Gun control doesn't mean that the govt is coming for your guns. Taking guns away from someone like Cruz or not arming teachers is gun control. It's not all or nothing.
Illegal unconstitutional gun control doesn't stop or prevent anything or protect anyone. Gun control makes everyone a potential victim,it enables and promotes crimes, allowing criminals to carry out their criminal actions without worry of repercussions for their actions. Criminals don't follow and obey laws that's why they are called criminals,no bill is going to stop or prevent anything or protect anyone.
God bless. My heart really goes out to all the families and victims of this horrific incident.
Why can't senators be more like this father.
A heartbroken parent. I hope he continues to be a supporter and advocate. 🙏
What’s wrong with you people? Applaud Florida and these parents for what you did Texas needs to do the same.
My goodness, we are no where near where we need to be to even make a dent in preventing all these mass shootings. Sad.

Heaven has gained another Angel, Sweet Gina Montalto
I am very proud of him and all the other parents turning their grief into not only ideas but action to help save others from these tragedies. I think it was disgusting the guy who saw Cruz going to the school & decided not to stop him since he feared being hurt when others especially children not only got shot but lost their lives forever that is a permanent thing. He even said that he thought if anyone would shoot up a school it would be him yet very little was done to notify anyone or prevent that. That is ridiculous the school did not warn the parents probably only to not freak anyone out and have them remove the kids from the school better to get money even if it means risking the kids lives wow way to go school board. It is one thing if you do not notice or see warning signs it is another to ignore them completely and not warn others more could have been done to prevent such horrible things from occurring.
I give this dad such credit. He's a pilot by day and a crusader all day
I have been watching the trial and all the pain of these families of lost one’s and injured victims have gone through there’s only one out come of this trial he should get the death penalty I hope justice is served in this evil act that was committed.God bless all the families this has effected may they find peace one day
semi auto rifles have been available for over 70 years. ar15s have been available since the 60s. whats changed?
More people have been born since the 60s
Exactly, and murder is against the law as well yet once again criminals show no regard for laws. People really think a peice of paper will stop shootings and that we are just going to hand them over 😒
Literally nothing. People seem to think school shootings are a new thing but they've been happening in the US since 1776. They got a lot more deadly after WWII and the internet made it easier to hear about them but the US has always been like this. Also, the AR-15 is a semi-automatic .22 which is one of the weakest and most popular types of rifles in the world. My first gun when I was just 14 years old was a .22 semi-automatic and I live in Canada. It's the baby gun you teach your kids to shoot on. The AR-15 looks fancy but it's nothing special. If you're going to have any legal guns the AR-15 will be among them.
@@abebuckingham8198 agree. amazing how little the average person knows about firearms. in 66 there was the texas tower shooter, then in 79 the "i dont like mondays" girl who shot up a a school in SD with a ruger 10/22. next was the 84 mcdonalds shooting and then the 89 stockton shooting...after that it became pretty common. the country is in steep decline, mostly due to the rotten culture. easy to blame guns when its anything but guns...
In our district we have bullet proof pods in the rooms that the teachers use as reading or small group pull out centers, but can be used as a safe space during situations like this. All districts should implement this. It's expensive, but our children are worth it. God bless this father and the other parents for turning their grief into action.
So glad parties could agree to learn how to live with well armed shooters. All these laws got passed instead of getting rid of the weapons.
come on USA of north america it's time for national healthcare from Conception till death along with gun control laws. The downfall is at the edge of the precipice, just pick any modern developed countries gun laws copy it , model it and apply it.
Sure, as long as we copy every single thing about that country too. For example, Germany. Let’s copy everything about that country- its demographics, its history, its laws, its system of government….
I’m good, I don’t want to give up my right and my hobby and what I love to do because someone misused a firearm. That’s like saying we need to take away cars because someone’s drunk uncle killed a family of 3 while drunk driving
Think of just one gun law that would have prevented this shooting. Hint: there isn’t one
Reading about Gina's GSW gave me chills...she was the only victim who had contact wounds (meaning NC physically pressed his gun against her body). I feel like NC may have been attracted to her and took out his rage out on her!

Dear Deb, guess? how many parents of the school shootings noticed that immediately following their kids school shooting that the usual sounds of gunfire explosions sirens screaming agony crying for help from their kids bedrooms stopped? The Combat Rampage Killing Simulation Exercise video gaming activities went hush! I wonder why....all of a sudden blood lust was somehow not appealing that night?? hmmmm
May God walk with your family and daughter.
It's a little late for that.
Thoughts and prayers to you and everyone affected.
This is perhaps the most tired platitude spoken today. Do something more, prayer isn't working.
I fell so bad for the family she was so beautiful so horrible this happened to all the victims God bless all the family's to he is a wonderful father he loves he's daughter very much this is so sad this happened God bless all.
God bless the families and friends of all shooting victims. I cannot fathom the pain from these horrific events.
The simple fact is all these shooters are all young people.Age limits should be the first thing done.
Every school should have a councilor.
If theirs a thousand children you can guarantee 10% are going through issues or traumas at some point in their school year .As a society Surley that's money well spent for a healthy society The cost of one councilor split between 1000 families is minimal.
They need a system were students are encouraged to in confidence tell teachers they have a friend going through issues .
Flaggable trauma such as the death of a family member or parents splitting up should be an automatic trigger for counseling.
Kids that don't fit in and don't have friends is the biggest sign they need help.
This ain't rocket science we just need to build it into our systems
Or just lock them up. Its obvious this small minority of troubled individuals (teens/adults) are danger to themselves but mostly danger to others. By locking them up, you remove the risk to the others. U.S. has more school shootings than any country in the world, has more even if you add up all EU countries.
“All these shooters are young people”… um, so you’re under the impression that no one over the age of 21 commits murder…? I’m sorry to say that the majority of murders are committed by people well over the age of 21. Also, I don’t think it’s the government’s business to tell my kid when he or she needs “counseling”….
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 True, majority is done by 18+. Also 99.9% are male. (There is a pdf file of school shootings since 1966 and gender F appears very rarely)
@@STCatchMeTRACjRo True. Problem is people forget that the vast majority of murders, not to mention the vast majority of shootings, have nothing to do with schools. I was a police detective for years and investigated plenty of murders, and not one of them took place in a school, and only a small minority committed by minors.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 even so.. there is 4 times more school shootings even if you add up all EU school shootings. Also schools shouldn't be a safe heaven for kids/teens?

What does it tell me….?
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 That there are so many school shootings it's hard to keep them sorted out. This is a uniquely American problem with a uniquely American cause.
@@abebuckingham8198 Hardly. The only reason you think that is because the news doesn’t cover Latin America, Africa, Middle East. It was a lot worse overseas when I was deployed.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 I wish that was true but the fact is the US is far more criminal than you'd think. You have to cherry-pick the worst countries on Earth to find places more dangerous than the US. Most countries in Africa have a lower violent crime rate. More countries in the Middle East do too. Of course, countries in the US sphere of influence also have higher violent crime rates, like Mexico and Latin America, but that's largely because of the US causing political instability after WWII and flooding them with guns. Notice that lowering your standards doesn't make the US better, it just means you've given up. Do better.
@@abebuckingham8198 “US is far more criminal than you’d think”. You’re speaking to someone who’ served as a police detective for years. Why would you think that I wouldn’t “think” or would “think” a certain way, since I’m an expert on the topic? Also, I am from Latin America, grew up there, many decades ago. It was no better then than now. My father grew up in Latin America in the 1920s, and I can assure you it was no better then than now. None of it has anything to do with “flooding guns” into Latin America, nor “political instability” caused by the US. I have a feeling you’ve never set foot in Latin America, nor do you even speak the language. Would I be correct? And thanks, but some rando anonymous poster online doesn’t rate to be telling others imperiously to “do better”.
Good people with a gun, stop bad people with a gun.
Seems like they need to put those heavy doors in classrooms where maybe the teachers can have a panic button where if the push it the door will shut and lock. Maybe make the window part bullet proof.
What a wealth of information here regarding legislation passed, what’s still needed and how to do it right!
Try reading the second amendment
It truly pusses me off...4 years later...and nothing has been done to stop these horrific things from happening...it wasn't long ago that the Uvalde shootings happened... not even 6 months after parkland...Sante fe...
How did we get here? Unacceptable in every way...
My thoughts and prayers got out to all the victims and their families...
And God help us...hopefully this never happens again....but...without tougher legislation....it's as if we are all just waiting for the next
I understand where you’re coming from, but it isn’t legislation that’s the problem. I was a police officer for years, and even though legislation against murder, robbery, and burglary were passed, people are still murdering, robbing, and burglarizing other people.
Billions of people on this earth and each one of those humans is responsible for their own actions. No matter what we do it’ll be hard to “control” the sudden impulse urges or plans of these types of people, especially if they don’t tell anyone.

@@historyandhorseplaying7374 Clearly though, stricter gun legislation has helped create an environment in Europe with drastically fewer school shootings.
American politicians have had plenty of time to address the school shooting problem. Gun sales have gone up YoY since the 90s (school shootings and general gun-related fatalities with them) and in 2009 the US became the only country in the world with more guns than citizens. Despite the majority of Americans being in favor of making guns harder to get (the poll was something like 68% last time I checked this summer, boosted by Uvalde for sure but up from above 50%), the NRA, Republican senators, and certain Republican governors, are able to keep the status quo or even make it easier to get guns.
There are of course other things that can be done, but things like fortifying schools and teaching kids how to spot the next school shooter are obviously band-aids on top of a more deeply rooted problem that the political system is currently too compromised to fix.
@@Flygsand A). Yes, Europe has far fewer school shootings… but also far less freedom and many other conditions that I wouldn’t want in the US. I grew up in Europe and then was stationed in Europe for years, and I don’t want ANY part of Europe. Trust me, years of living in Germany (among other laces) taught me that I don’t want my country to be anything like Germany.
B) Guns sales have definitely gone up hugely, which means that guns are very popular. I just read that the number of Ar’s in the US, and keep in mind this is JUST Ar’s, which is only one brand/type of firearm, is more numerous than the number of F-series Ford pick up trucks on the road today (and the F series is one of the most common vehicles in the US today). And that’s not even taking into account all the other myriad of other types of firearms available. So clearly, they are popular and are in what the Supreme Court termed “common use”. Therefore, it is not true that the majority of Americans think firearms should be “harder to get”, that is, “harder” for ordinary citizens to get. It is not “the NRA” who is doing this - I’ve never been a member of the NRA- it is the PEOPLE who are in favor of the status quo. I keep hearing the old chestnut about the “NRA” and “Republicans”-- but yet everyone I know, none of whom is NRA or Republican, feels the same way.
C). Since you don’t feel the “status quo” is adequate, can you tell me what our solution is? I’ve been a police officer for years, so I’m curious. Also, what is your professional experience in law enforcement, or with firearms in general?
What a concept.. make a law that does give law enforcement the power to take guns away from people who do seem to be a threat to people and themselves!!
To do that they'd have to repeal the 2nd amendment but Americans have no desire to fix this problem. They choose this.
I So Sorry For His Loss Rest Of Peace🙏
Rest in peace Gina 🙏 prayers and love to her family and friends 🙏
Nobody wants there to ever be another mass shooting, whether at a school or elsewhere. I'm just not sure that getting on tv or the internet at every opportunity for 4+ years will make any headway toward that goal. That would seem to put a parent in a holding pattern instead of trying to move forward. As a parent, I feel as bad for these folks as anybody can.
The slippery slope that will be taken advantage of with the terminology "weapons of war"by the anti-gunners. If you want to get technical a 9 mm Glock pistol or any semi-automatic pistol would be considered a weapon of War as they are also issued to our troops. I do not care what anyone says to me but they want nothing short of an absolute band on all semi-automatic weaponry.. the problem lies with the number of said weapons already in circulation. There are almost 100 million more guns than there are physical bodies on the American streets so good luck getting them all back uncle sam.
if those 100 million more guns were the problem we would be seeing a way worse epidemic on our hands. It is that we don't take mental health seriously and that we just let kids think it is normal. It is never normal to wish harm on yourself or others. I mean what is mental health nowadays anymore? The person is the problem, not the weapon. We see 10s of thousands of deaths from cars every year, but we don't see a problem with cars...
The only people who use the terminology “weapons of war” are people who have never been anywhere near a battlefield.
@@TRIGGEREDHarambe maybe both of your points play a part.
We don't have a gun problem, we have a broken young man problem.
@@TRIGGEREDHarambe
That’s because cars are a necessary part of daily life in many parts of the world, and in some places they are very strictly regulated. In small places like Macau and Singapore they’re so expensive to own that it’s harder to own a car there than a gun in California.
And the problem with mental health is that treatment only works if the person is willing to work with the doctors. It’s not like medicine which will work on your body whether you think it will or not.
Then of course there’s the fact that many mass shooters are not mentally ill
Let's get real here. I'm so sad what happened but you can do all you want but nothing is ever going to come of it
I sympathize with these parents. The only way you can possibly stop mass murders is to stop the one doing it. How? You can't, I don't see how one can identify whats in a person's mind. There may be hi ts, but who's looking? It's a horrific reality, all we can do is live life and hope for the best......

@@redscope897 taking guns away leads to far more problems than it does solving them. That's very well documented throughout world history and is the reason why it's in the US's constitution. It wouldn't even solve the school shootings. It would turn them into bombings or stabbings. The only way to solve the issue is by making the family unit a priority again. Parents need to understand that parenting is more than keeping their kid alive and entertained. Guns have been around for centuries. School shootings is a fairly new issue, that's still rare. Kids are more likely to die in the car ride on the way to school, statistically. So blaming guns is laughable and an extremely shallow thought process.

You said, with all the respect,that changed the law for the age 18 to 21,for someone to buy a firearm..

@@indigo2741 Defence case will be interesting, but I have a feeling it'll be one long sob story.
Cruz was one sick person for years leading up to this day, however he purchased the firearm legally and followed FL state laws in effect at the time of purchase. Nothing would have prevented this short of trained, armed officers on campus during the incident. An inanimate object is not the problem and restricting gun access on law-abiding citizens is not the solution. It is an issue starting from home and the values instilled in children from infancy to adulthood. I do agree that this individual should have been flagged by law enforcement for his behavior for the year or so leading up to the shooting, but understandably not every tip can be acted upon.
Yes. The issue is that we live in a society with a severe mental health crisis. It has been caused by a breakdown in the nuclear family. So many children grow up without parental love and guidance. Those individuals then, at times, grow up to hate society.
I don’t believe you’re even listening to this man speaking. He addresses and disproves your claims. And 40 tips can’t be acted on? It’s now possible in many states with the new legislation passed. The Oxford shooting - the shooter was in the principal s office a few hours before the shooting. Yes, this could have been prevented with this legislation.
Erm…….”Trained armed officers” in uvalde did nothing
He and his daughter have the same eyes
Watching this definitely has opened my eyes. I know some middle and high schools here in South Carolina have metal detectors, back pack and purse checks, school officers that are armed, and lock doors to the classrooms as well, but I think that every school should have a panic button in each classroom. Every state should pass these bills and acts to keep our children and teachers safe.
@Edwin They do the searches to make sure students don't have anything that can be used as a weapon in school. I agree that shootings can happen anywhere. I do not think they are turning schools into a prison. I just think that schools located in high crime rate areas are trying to protect their students and teachers as best as they can.
We can start by not saying the shooters name,ever.
Just put more registrations on Guns. Stop with that already
Unlock code:
Along with one point entry, all exterior doors need an alarm to a central room that is resistant to tornadoes or hurricanes and each classroom having loudspeakers to announce a door has been breached and where that door is. The doors need to be bullet resistant which is feasible. Some wealthy homes have them. The panic alarm is great, then too law enforcement should have a quick response team that is trained to breach to a barricaded suspect and the AR15's to be able to match the criminal's fire power. Yes this would cost money, But I know as far as I am concerned my children and every child is well worth the expense!!!! The US needs to re-open the mental hospitals we used to have when I was a young boy. There will always be those that are not well in the mind, our jails are ill equipped to handle them, and jails can not hold the person beyond their sentence!!! The last 7 years of my career with the jails was served in the Psychiatric Unit at my local jail, while on medication these inmates were semi normal, but let them skip a few doses and they were back to square one!!!! Our children and grandchildren are the most important people as they will be our future leaders. It pains me to know Tony had to go through the pain of loosing his beautiful daughter at 14, I never experienced that, but as a law enforcement officer I witnessed the permanent damage it causes!!! This video should be required of each person in government, local, state and federal to watch this entire video and be graded on it's content. Then go to work to everything in their power to hopefully stop school shootings. I went to school from 1963 to 1976, not once did we have any shootings in school or even close by!!!!
I think questions need to be asked - why is it there are so many scshool shootings in the 2010's, in the 1950's up to 1980's guns were just as legal infact there were less restrictions on guns back then. Yet there were far less shootings. So why is it now there are so many shootings?
Something about American society has gone badly wrong in the past 20 years for this to keep happening, why is it US young people now suffer so much despair and anger, a lot of them have no hope for the future either they just see themselves stuck in a low wage job pointlessly toiling until they die. Or look at Elliot Rodger he had big problems fitting in with people, it seems in the 1950's it was a lot easier to fit in, find your high school sweetheart, settle down marry have kids and be happy. But now people aren't marrying, childbirth is down a lot, people are a lot lonelier and less happy than ever before.
People are just focusing on gun ownership which is like focusing on 1 symptom rather than focusing on the cause. If all of a sudden lots of people started driving into walls at full speed you wouldn't be asking questions about accelerator peddles and brakes, you would be asking why people are doing this now.
Vote no on the illegal unconstitutional eagles act.
Tony, what a handsome gentleman.
Sueing innocent companies and people for blood money will protect your kids apparently.
No no, we must sue companies who made completely legal products under government scrutiny, or people who exercise their first amendment rights. Surely you've watched your daily dose of mainstream TV in recent years to understand this?
Anything they can do to keep busy I guess. It helps them find meaning in life after they lose their kids. It's sad to know they'll never make any difference at all.
Your sound is not great at your end Jesse
The thumbnail…she has her dad’s eyes exactly 😭😭😭
Metal detectors .
Who was the guy in full body armor the one teacher stated she saw? What was in the heavy duffel bags removed from the school immediately following the shooting? Why would evidence be removed from a crime scene? Why did multiple students report more than one shooter?
Why don't you tell us?
@@geoffpoole483 What kind of response is that? Why would I ask the questions if I already had the answers?
@@farmerted487 Why don't you have the answers? I'll give you a hint - you don't actually care about the truth. If you did you'd know by now.
@@abebuckingham8198 So answer the questions then if you know.
Seems like this doesn't belong within your pervew.
Governor DeSantis continues to make our schools safe. There is a 3 step process to get to the front door of our public schools. There are more than frequent active shooter drillers. Flashing light systems have been installed to communicate to the students during an active shooter event. I began homeschooling the day after the Parkland Tragedy and still do. But I do so for other reasons and not active shooter concerns.
DeSantis can't make your school safes because the 2nd amendment is a federal law and he can't repeal it. Nothing will change in the US until that happens and they aren't going to do that. They choose to live like this every day and nothing will change. You just have to accept that Americans want to live in a murderous society. It's just who they are.
please tell the whole world the murder case of a policeman in Indonesia, it is suspected that the culprit is a police general
This is a very viral news in Indonesia.
you can't stop the future of anything.
Guns arnt the problem
@Ann-Marie Paliukenas stack up liberal
Nice to see all this bs is not about money. Yeah right. 45 mills split to all the families.
All Americans need to learn gun control laws and enforcement of said laws (background checks, licenses, permits, bans, weapons (gun)free zones, red flag laws) are crimes under title 18 U.S.C. sections 241 conspiracy against rights and 242 deprivation of rights under color of law. All gun stores,dealers should be sued when they do background checks or ask for permits/licenses for conspiracy against rights and deprivation of rights under color of law, they are conspiring with the state/federal government against Americans constitutionally protected rights (liberties) and depriving American citizens of their constitutionally protected rights (liberties).
U.C.C. 1-308 all rights reserved with extreme prejudice, Freedom of speech.
I hear a lot of infringements on our rights
That's because to solve this problem you do have to repeal the 2nd amendment. Until then you choose to live in an exceptionally violent and brutal society. I think there is a misconception that American don't like seeing children murdered. They do. They love it so much they'll do anything in their power to make sure it keeps happening. The worship death there.
Yeah no. Nope. Nor one inch.
I think the teachers should be armed. The more armed people the better in that situation rather than just one person running around trying to find someone
It doesn't work and we know that because we tried already. Armed guards don't work either. When you're ambushed with a rifle people die almost every time. It doesn't matter if you're as prepared as possible, you can't stop an attack until it's too late. You could solve the problem the way it's been done all over the world. You just don't want to because Americans love guns so much they would rather let children die than fix it. They choose this.
Who is the interviewer? He's so hot 😍
Enforce the constitution of the united states of America the second amendment supreme law of the land, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed, stop infringing on American citizens constitutional rights and this crap would never be happening,an armed society is a polite society.

So losing a family member gives expertise on the subject?
So should I start lecturing doctors about how to cure cancer?
My mom was killed in a car accident, so I'm going to lecture CHP on how to better police roads
Losing a family member motivates one to become an expert on the subject. He's had a whole decade to do that. Maybe you're not used to being able to learn things but most of us can do that no problem.
Why is this guy credible?
In the minds of some people, possession of large percentages of the same DNA as a crime victim makes one a subject expert.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 There are no experts in this field. You only become one by choosing to. It's like birding, you don't need a credential just eyes and time.
@@abebuckingham8198 I’m an expert in the field of firearms/shootings/shooting investigations/effects of firearms/use of firearms/prevention of crime/detection of crime/causes of crime/etc etc etc, due to my years of experience and training as a police detective/investigator, and before that, my military experience and training. There are absolutely experts out there, and to say it’s like “birding” is ridiculous. Yes, one absolutely needs credentials. And obviously, one becomes an expert by choosing to. One isn’t forced to become a heart surgeon, rocket engineer, or aircraft designer…
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 You're just proving my point here. You don't have a real credential, all you have is your own experience and you think that's enough. I don't disagree with the importance and relevance of experience but I'm going to give him the same benefit of the doubt. He's not less capable or competent than you are to study and understand these things. There is no school of how to stop mass shootings.
@@abebuckingham8198 Um, yes, law enforcement officers have real credentials- they’re called BADGES. To be a police officer requires 6 months of intensive training (and a certificate/badge awarded afterward) just to enter the field. To be a detective requires years of TRAINING (that means classes, etc), as well as experience. Anyway, there is nothing more “credentialy” than a BADGE, awarded after the training/experience. Furthermore, experience clearly also makes one an expert. Someone who’s been doing heart surgery for decades is clearly more of an EXPERT than someone who just yesterday got their MD. Someone who’s been piloting aircraft for decades is clealry more of an expert than someone who just got their pilots license yesterday, and infinitely more so than someone who’s never entered an aircraft in their life. This father is the “person who’s never entered an aircraft in their life”, yet is trying to speak with authority on flying aircraft… or doing heart surgery… or making widgets… or whatever activity that they have no experience nor training to be involved in. He may not be less CAPABLE to speak-- in that he is certainly eligible to apply to his local police department and beginning accumulating training and experience. My 18 year year old son is just as CAPABLE as me to begin to accumulate knowledge, but doens’t have it yet. to say that this guy is as able as I am to speak on this subject, would be like saying that someone who’s never even finished high school is just as able to speak intelligently about heart surgery as a surgeon is. That’s why courts have “subject matter experts” come and speak to issues in court cases- not random people off the street. As for “there is no school of how to stop…”. On the contrary- one of the missions of law enforcement is to PREVENT CRIME. There are literally many, many schools and training on how ot prevent all kinds of crime, including shootings.

Not buying it 🤪
Ain’t gonna happen, I mean nice effort, genuine thoughts but not realistic...900 million guns in circulation in the world, in the USA one can buy, borrow, steal a gun anywhere. Schools have proven time and time they are really easy, easy, super easy targets, met with little to no resistance to infiltration, shooting fish in a bucket. Unless Combat experienced soldiers are protecting the school there is little to no hope, as proven over and over again, that School Resource or Local Law Enforcement are of little help. What’s really funny is all these kids playing mortal combat blood guts hunt down your targets video games curl up numb when reality checks in that now their being hunted the blood is real the screaming is real the smells are real. In my day we didn’t have such blood lust games, our school shooting left 2 dead 4 injured with 12 gauge pellets inside them, ha we were back in school the next day so what made us tougher to endure such an attack, our Principal said it best “ when it’s your time it’s your time, accept the Lords invitation to be by his side “.
yeah what will the solution be? probably they'll end up with automated AI controlled tranquilizer gun turrets, they will be in every hallway and when the AI senses someone with a gun it'll shoot a tranq dart lol. But the problem is the US high school students will probably take apart the tranq darts and drink the liquid to get high...
Give teachers guns. get more good guns on campus!
They tried that and it doesn't work. Gunmen only respond to a crime after it's been committed. If you stop the crime from happening in the first place, you don't need them. So just do that instead.
Guy seems kinda like a beta male
Unfortunately, too many grieving people are easily manipulated, particularly when money is involved.
@@historyandhorseplaying7374 i know and I understand but don’t let it interfere with logic
Try reading the second amendment
Try repealing it. It's the dumbest law in human history and caused this mess. Fix it.
