They should do a psa of doctors being ignored by the parents of future school shooters. It burns my soul to know that Adam Lanza was allowed to go home afrer being diagnosed as a threat to himself and others.
Are you talking about Ethan Crumply? I know almost every piece of information about Sandy Hook and I’m not sure what you’re talking about. But, even if Lanza was held, he can’t be held indefinitely. He’d be released after no longer than 72 hours, and he’d just do it then.
I have a kindergartner in school now and I can't imagine losing this child to that...I can't fathom how one could ever move on...I can't fathom the world making sense ever again - and how no one does anything to stop the next one.😢
You guys (hands down) make the best PSA’s and videos about preventing gun violence hands down. Your videos hit me so hard with emotion. I’ve been a follower and supporter of the Sandy Hook Promise Organization for quite some time now. You’ve definitely prevented many of these shootings from happening. It may not seem like it, but believe me it has. ✌🏻💚💚💚💚💚✌🏻
@@kevonwinters Your comment continues to prove my point. Comedy is supposed to make people laugh, it's not supposed to be taken seriously. Nothing a comedian talks about is what they actually think. The whole goal of comedy is to make you laugh. People don't think violence is funny they think shocking people is funny. I can't believe people do not understand nuance, context, or have a sense of humor anymore. I miss the 90s when people didn't have their head up their pretentious asses.
This is so powerful. My niece was a student at marysville pilchuck when that shooting happened (wasn't at school the day of the shooting thank god). Knowing how much those senseless deaths devastated our community, and multiplying that by the hundreds and hundreds of other communities who have suffered similar tragedies, makes me understand that America has a shocking amount of trauma to process. Thank you for your work Sandy Hook Promise.
Thank you for keeping her out of school that day. You saved her life. Thank you for saving her. Nicholas Cruz was the shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglass High School.
Unfortunately as a person who suffers from long-term depression and uses humor to cope, this is how I think. I joke around about suicide and such, and nobody takes things seriously.
Yeah I’m Swedish we have had gang shootings and violent conflicts at schools and some knife incidents without fatalities. Our last real attack was years ago where a teen attacked with a sword with multiple fatalities.
It would not happen here if we put mentally ill people back in hospitals instead of letting them live in public but our country has become soft about mental illness and crime, God forbid we make kids take responsibility for their actions after they show signs or have outbursts of violence
No joke, my son had the misguided idea of searching for this very PSA while at school on a school computer. Before he started his next period He was pulled out of class, had his backpack searched and was investigated and interrogated by the school resource cop for 2 hours because he searched the school shooting at school. The irony isn't lost on me, because while he was searching for this PSA it tripped the fail. Safes that his school has in place that treats these things as seriously as they need to be. So thanks Wanda Sykes for getting my kid. A 3-day out of school suspension and getting his name put on some watchlist somewhere 😂😅
Him being investigated might be understandable but him being given a suspension is ridiculous. I don't see how watching a video on difficult content is a sign of being dangerous. The message of this ad is a positive one that most young people should watch
@LoudmouthReviews Yes, that's absurd! Some schools get carried away with "zero tolerance" and Completely miss the point and use of rules and information.
Je suis français, donc très loin de toute la violence de votre société. Mais je souhaite, j'espère, que votre message sera entendu, qu'enfin cesseront ces massacres d'innocents. Courage. Ne battez pas en retraite. Battez vous. Votre cause est juste. Elle vaut qu'on se batte pour elle. Pardon d'avoir écrit ce commentaire en français.
"Today is the day" is such a normal mundane thing to say. Very great PSA as always, very smart and thought provoking. Hope that one day we won't need anymore
At first I thought this was going the direction of villainizing comedians but when I saw the message, yeah I can definitely get behind this. Not everyone is a comedian. There are people struggling mentally, that are isolated, and do mean it. We need to get these people help before other people pay the price for their actions and our blind eyes.
Wow…I have chills all over and I’m fighting back tears as I stand in line at the grocery store. RIP to all of those that have been taken away from their friends and loved ones. This is absolutely heartbreaking and truly chilling. 😢😢
If you think about it, that black screen truly is a powerful device. You're out in public and all of a sudden all the screen watchers start breaking out crying.... What else can that screen make people do????????
Fantastic PSA. Makes a clear and important point concisely. I live not too far from where the Oxford shooting happened and my younger cousins were scared to go to school after. Focusing on warning signs is exactly the right way to stop future shootings
If it’s one thing, never joke around about guns or assault rifles. People will take you seriously. I feel like this video shows that that you should not joke around with these kinds of things.
You're absolutely right. The goal of this campaign is to raise awareness among students, parents, and all caring adults that gun violence is preventable when you know the signs.

Last school year w had a shooting threat right before school ended so i didn’t go the last two days of school but those other couple days i sat there in fear not knowing if I would see my mom at the end of the day. It was awful. Luckily the kid got arrested and is now in juvie but it’s so scary when you go to school and especially in a small town like mine that anything can happen in a matter of two seconds
We get it. Those negative thoughts come from somewhere, even if kids make it seem like a joke. It's not a joke when a tragedy happens. Always take threats seriously, people. Sometimes a cry for help is hidden by a joke.
People in mental crisis say a lot of things including jokes. From the groups that collect data on school shootings individuals in K-12 who engaged in mass shootings were suicidal 92% of the time while 100% of college kids that engaged in mass shootings are suicidal. Here is the link to the data. nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/public-mass-shootings-database-amasses-details-half-century-us-mass-shootings
Fun fact : I got suspended when I stood up and said it bluntly that if nothing changed about the harassment in the school system I might end up a shooter. They did nothing but cowardice and showing they did not want to change.
@@Pulseczar1 I thought it was cool that they warned some of the "good" ones to stay at home. Other lines were just down right quippy, and clever. As for glorious, it's really just a saying, I suppose. Billy the kid according to Bon Jovi went out in a blaze of glory. What was so glorious about Billy the kid robbing, and murdering? I guess glory is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure those kids thought they were going out in a blaze of glory. Surely they didn't think they'd survive their murder/revenge sprees against those they felt did them wrong.

I love the video and understand the point, but the thing you fail to realsie is someone can't just call out soneone like that. The situaton where the shooter will tell this to someone will be like a friend or someone close who of course will be worried or unsure to call it out. In practise, this doesn't work.
They are comedians, but the jokes here are not jokes. These were actual threats from school shooters and the comedians here were only telling them like jokes.
Why is their no talk of mental illness and all the drugs so many of these kids are on? Im not worried about guns, Im worried about a severely mentally ill kids with them. Reality sucks.
Thank you for making this video. I’m a teacher. Four of my better students had an exchange in my classroom today coming back from the cafeteria. One students busted the other student’s “chops” pretty hard. His buddy responded by saying are you going to take that, or I think you should get a gun. He repeated another gun comment twice. I paused as they settled into their activity and started working. Again, good students. I called all four students out into the hall individually to review everything that happened and what was said. It didn’t seem like a threat because they were joking, but I reported it to my administrators.
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. -Luke 11:21-23 ESV
The fact that they had comedians saying what the school shooters said just emphasises how no one took them seriously and thought it was a joke, especially when they showed the audience laughing. Thank god that in the UK we have very few if any school shootings. This is scary.
@@juiciestlemonadeofyoutube true! And also you are calling a psa about shooters are school, cringe. Please put 2 brain cells together and realize this is a psa
You people would give up your own freedom for security, and that is frightening. Banning law abiding citizens from firearm ownership will do nothing to stop gun violence. We need stricter sentencing, and better mental health laws to truly make a difference.
@@Pulseczar1 they went up and started it as jokes, well at least parenting as jokes, knowing that people would slowly start to get bothered and quieted. They pretty much went up and bombed on purpose. Hopefully they or someone else came out and told them what it was really about. OR they were after a. Either way…. Awesome.
@@MatiasGeraldoThe2ndI'm still not really following you. It sounds like you think the performances are real. I don't think they are real. The video says the comedians are saying things the real school shooters said before performing a school shooting. Most likely, the comedians are just acting out the lines, essentially, for the purpose of making this video for Sandy Hook Promise. Reactions from crowds are probably not genuine; they are probably from different recordings.
Yes, take all threats seriously. But keep your legislation off the second amendment. The second amendment is to keep the government in line, not We The People. Also, mass shooters always choose the gun free zones.
Not sure what part of the world you are typing at us from, but over here in the United States of America, the Second Amendment was written in the absence of a standing army....we have had that in place for a few hundred years now. The irrelevance of the 2nd amendment aside, nobody is changing the U.S. Constitution anyway. And, sorry to burst your bubble, but your hero fantasy never plays out in real life like it does in your imagination. There were armed personnel present when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot - who determined that they would have exacerbated the situation by engaging in a shootout. There were armed civilians present in the mass shooting at the movie theater in Aurora CO - who couldn't see or determine where the shots were coming from and would have shot more innocent patrons. There were armed guards present at the school shooting at Virginia Tech who determined that more people would have been shot had they engaged in a shootout. There was an armed sheriff on duty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland FL who did nothing while a lone gunman shot 17 students and staff to death. Practically the entire police force waited outside while children were shot to death at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde TX. There were armed civilians present at the country music concert in Las Vegas who did nothing while 54 concert attendees were shot to death in the shooting massacre there. Glad I could help.
@@harlenscabbard8271 "the Second Amendment was written in the absence of a standing army" You mean, the same standing army that would be taking orders from the tyrants trying to eliminate our inalienable, God-given, rights?? THAT standing army? The 2A states that THE PEOPLE - not the standing army, not even the militia - have the right to own and carry arms. For defense of self, family, and community. "your hero fantasy never plays out in real life" Self-defense is not a hErO fAnTaSy. Americans use guns over 1.5 MILLION times a year to stop or prevent crime. (2021 National Firearms Survey by Prof. William English; Georgetown McDonough School of Business Research Paper No. 3887145.) Oh, and Google "battle of athens tennessee." On election day 1946, the armed citizens of Athens Tennessee laid siege to the McMinn County jail and recovered ballot boxes that had been stolen by the corrupt sheriff and his goons, who were both arrested AND kicked out of office. 2AFTW
@PanhandleFrank it literally says that a well regulated militia has the right to take up arms. At least the 2nd amendment if you're going to try to argue about it online. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, don't care. We don't take kids seriously in general, if they say they want to kill themselves or that their parents are beating them. That issue is not exclusive to gun violence.
People like you don't see the problem until it's too late. Adam Lanza was allowed to go home after a professional declared him a threat to himself and society. Why wasn't the little demon thrown in a looney bin?
I truly don't understand how this ad helps anyone. Is it supposed to be making children paranoid about things their classmates say? It's like training people to be schizoid, fearful, and miserable, when the awareness should be on how we can work to effect political change, no?
Yeah mental health is a big problem. We need more police funding and an armed officer at every public school at all times, as well as looking for the signs to prevent these tragedies. RIP to all the souls that were taken by these evil people.
Thank you for watching 💚 Our website landing page www.sandyhookpromise.org/justjoking/ brings to the forefront backgrounds on school shooters and the warning signs they displayed. We know these details can be uncomfortable for some, but it’s important that people are aware and educated and can access resources to prevent future tragedies.
Mental health is a big problem. The rapid proliferation of guns and lack of common sense regulations is a much bigger problem when comes to the gun violence in the United States.
I get the message, not funny, take all threats seriously,....but this was way too risky to the point of over the edge, which is usually an advertising agency's goal. But I really do not think conveying a message about the Sandy Hook massacre, with comedians on stage was a good choice here.

I dont get this they meant this?
I feel so bad for these victims, may they rest in peace ❤
What in the **** is this for a Canadian this is too crazy I can’t tell if y’all joking or fr
Very powerful
Powerful!
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil. 23 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. -Luke 11:21-23 ESV
That was scary😢
Bring out Goblina!!!
The fact that they had comedians saying what the school shooters said just emphasises how no one took them seriously and thought it was a joke, especially when they showed the audience laughing. Thank god that in the UK we have very few if any school shootings. This is scary.
Wait did they actually plan a shooting or is this a skit
It's a skit my God
@@groinBlaster31 ok bro I just wanted to know you don’t have to be so rude like kids nowadays
Honestly everything you say is so profound
i looked ,its actually real
This legit made me cry. Comedians or not, I cant believe they actually said these things
Please tell me that they were very uncomfortable during this whole thing. 😰😰😰😨😨
But Scott Adams is the problem
😢😢😢😢
these r so powerful.

This is so fucking cringe I can’t believe it’s real.
Fun fact: nobody cares.
@@juiciestlemonadeofyoutube true! And also you are calling a psa about shooters are school, cringe. Please put 2 brain cells together and realize this is a psa
@@Cara-Latte hold on you’re telling me to put 2 braincells together yet you’re also telling me i’m calling it cringe? reread the comment
So these comidians really did that??
They were taped doing that for the purposes of this video, yes
Whhat do you call a 8 year old with no friends?
A Sandy Hook survivor
The kids are in college now but I get it you're a funny teenager
You people would give up your own freedom for security, and that is frightening. Banning law abiding citizens from firearm ownership will do nothing to stop gun violence. We need stricter sentencing, and better mental health laws to truly make a difference.
0:53 some of you guys are alright...
I don't want to like this, because of the subject matter. But I have to.....
That this is addressed through humor is tragically sad.
You totally missed the point.
SMH
Brilliantly done. Just saw it on Morning Joe. This must’ve been a hard gig. Go up and bomb on purpose! For a great cause! I’m with it though 👍
Go up and bomb on purpose?
@@Pulseczar1 they went up and started it as jokes, well at least parenting as jokes, knowing that people would slowly start to get bothered and quieted. They pretty much went up and bombed on purpose. Hopefully they or someone else came out and told them what it was really about. OR they were after a. Either way…. Awesome.
@@MatiasGeraldoThe2ndI'm still not really following you. It sounds like you think the performances are real. I don't think they are real. The video says the comedians are saying things the real school shooters said before performing a school shooting. Most likely, the comedians are just acting out the lines, essentially, for the purpose of making this video for Sandy Hook Promise. Reactions from crowds are probably not genuine; they are probably from different recordings.
Lots of mentally ill "comedians" here
Dat's the point
This actually worked because most of these comedians are not funny nor ever funny in the first place and I actually believe they'll shoot everyone.
sounds about right for someone on the spectrum
@@daleague-mi5mf Cool story, bro 🤗
did you not watch the video?
Yes, take all threats seriously. But keep your legislation off the second amendment. The second amendment is to keep the government in line, not We The People. Also, mass shooters always choose the gun free zones.
Not sure what part of the world you are typing at us from, but over here in the United States of America, the Second Amendment was written in the absence of a standing army....we have had that in place for a few hundred years now. The irrelevance of the 2nd amendment aside, nobody is changing the U.S. Constitution anyway. And, sorry to burst your bubble, but your hero fantasy never plays out in real life like it does in your imagination. There were armed personnel present when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot - who determined that they would have exacerbated the situation by engaging in a shootout. There were armed civilians present in the mass shooting at the movie theater in Aurora CO - who couldn't see or determine where the shots were coming from and would have shot more innocent patrons. There were armed guards present at the school shooting at Virginia Tech who determined that more people would have been shot had they engaged in a shootout. There was an armed sheriff on duty at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland FL who did nothing while a lone gunman shot 17 students and staff to death. Practically the entire police force waited outside while children were shot to death at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde TX. There were armed civilians present at the country music concert in Las Vegas who did nothing while 54 concert attendees were shot to death in the shooting massacre there. Glad I could help.
@@harlenscabbard8271 "the Second Amendment was written in the absence of a standing army"
You mean, the same standing army that would be taking orders from the tyrants trying to eliminate our inalienable, God-given, rights?? THAT standing army?
The 2A states that THE PEOPLE - not the standing army, not even the militia - have the right to own and carry arms. For defense of self, family, and community.
"your hero fantasy never plays out in real life"
Self-defense is not a hErO fAnTaSy. Americans use guns over 1.5 MILLION times a year to stop or prevent crime. (2021 National Firearms Survey by Prof. William English; Georgetown McDonough School of Business Research Paper No. 3887145.)
Oh, and Google "battle of athens tennessee." On election day 1946, the armed citizens of Athens Tennessee laid siege to the McMinn County jail and recovered ballot boxes that had been stolen by the corrupt sheriff and his goons, who were both arrested AND kicked out of office.
2AFTW
@PanhandleFrank it literally says that a well regulated militia has the right to take up arms. At least the 2nd amendment if you're going to try to argue about it online. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, don't care. We don't take kids seriously in general, if they say they want to kill themselves or that their parents are beating them. That issue is not exclusive to gun violence.
People like you don't see the problem until it's too late. Adam Lanza was allowed to go home after a professional declared him a threat to himself and society. Why wasn't the little demon thrown in a looney bin?
I truly don't understand how this ad helps anyone. Is it supposed to be making children paranoid about things their classmates say? It's like training people to be schizoid, fearful, and miserable, when the awareness should be on how we can work to effect political change, no?
i do not believe your lies for second your liars...
Yeah mental health is a big problem. We need more police funding and an armed officer at every public school at all times, as well as looking for the signs to prevent these tragedies. RIP to all the souls that were taken by these evil people.
Thank you for watching 💚 Our website landing page www.sandyhookpromise.org/justjoking/ brings to the forefront backgrounds on school shooters and the warning signs they displayed. We know these details can be uncomfortable for some, but it’s important that people are aware and educated and can access resources to prevent future tragedies.
Yep. These 'Hookers are insane!
Sandyhook's always been a comedy-cringe show, with the b-rated actors like GeneRosen
@@SandyHookPromiseOrg Why not include RobbyParker laughing in these clips?
Mental health is a big problem. The rapid proliferation of guns and lack of common sense regulations is a much bigger problem when comes to the gun violence in the United States.
So a comedian needs to go on a real mass shooting now? I get it. And it's a surprisingly original idea...
This isn’t funny.
That's the whole point
I get the message, not funny, take all threats seriously,....but this was way too risky to the point of over the edge, which is usually an advertising agency's goal. But I really do not think conveying a message about the Sandy Hook massacre, with comedians on stage was a good choice here.
I don’t believe this was a real event.
I am glad.
So don't
