Listening to this little boy talk about how his friend saved him from the shooter by laying on top of him broke my heart. All the good and bad in humanity in one sentence.

  1. I wish I knew what to do. I keep signing petitions and calling representatives but I don’t see any change.

  2. Another day, another shooting. Children dead and injured. Why is there never enough white-hot burning rage about this? I don't want to hear Democrats telling us that their "hearts go out..." etc, etc, etc. I want to hear them screaming "ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKING SHIT!!!!" at the top of their lungs.

    FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING GUNS

  3. Ain't no one gonna say this kid ain't a fucking kid for all times sake. The bearer of bad news in me though, mark your calendars. Trump absolutely might steal this.

  4. I feel like this is what keeps us from not going all out ballistic against guns. For the record, I am a gun owner. All of mine are in the security of my parents, as I don't have either the space or need.

    The deaths were not caused by politics. They were caused by the government killing people.

  5. I can remember when mass shootings were very rare (Less than one a year). Now the U.S. average almost two per day. So many that most go unreported by the media. The GOP & NRA are responsible for mass shootings becoming so passe (normalized), due to a really fucked up sense of priorities.

  6. Me too. He was also asked if they do shooter drills. He answered yes, once a month but never in the church.

    So since nothing is ever done about gun control I guess you just add drills in the church.

    Unbelievable .

  7. Fuck this country for making an 11 year old use their body as a shield to protect a fellow 11 year old against mass shootings. Folks have no souls. This kinda shit is proof that god doesn’t exist and folks are only religious in order to punish and control others.

  8. RealNews: Donald Trump pledges to make the subways of Democratic cities safe. He has the National Guardsmen cleaning the streets of Washington, D.C.

    Next up, .... no, not Minneapolis, something else.

  9. Far too often, the young tell us TRUTH, while we discount it because of their age. This experience will live in this boy's memory forever and we will forget…

    😢❤️😢❤️ this should not continue to be happening here in our country! What “civilized” society has this fetish with guns other than the US? The GOP wants to “regulate” every damn thing except frikking guns!

  11. I'm Canadian and I don't understand how an 11 year old even knows to do this. This child shouldn't have to be a hero. It's the job of adults to keep children safe.

  13. News services played and replayed this child‘s interview and all I could think is how numb he seemed ahead of the huge traumatic crash he and his family will be suffering over the days and months ahead. Brave, yes. Coping? For now? What the hell has our gun policy made this child endure?

  14. Something I'll never understand is that we've always had a pretty robust gun culture, and other countries similarly have permissible norms regarding guns, yet this is a uniquely American phenomenon to happen so regularly and rather recent. Why? What's changed?

  20. Why are 5th graders expected to save their friends when we should be DEMANDING reform from elected officials? If we pass no meaningful gun control this will just keep happening and 5th graders will be expected to save us all

    END THE NRA
