(10,053 posts)Local news just said that twelve of the bodies remain in the school building and have not yet been removed. The picture of that in my mind is just crushing me.

I can't wait until they spend the next few days asking "WHY"

(32,084 posts)A bunch of the students were Snapchatting the whole thing, which have since been removed. Randi saved some of them, and played one. You could hear the gun going off in the background as they huddled in their classroom in sheer terror. Fucking horrifying. But, not half as horrifying as the fact that NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING is going to be done about this.

Yes, we should play politics with this. Fuck them I want them made to SEE it, and then be made to publicly DEFEND IT.
I want a line drawn. 'Either you're with us, or you're against us', ending this. The government has my vote and my empowerment to yes, come and get these fucking guns.

(62,276 posts)Once the lockdown happens it is very difficult to get out and to get help. I feel like we're going to have to readdress lockdown procedures in cases like this. It seems counterintuitive but so many survived in Vegas because they were able to escape and get themselves to hospitals. Imagine being shot and bleeding and a lockdown commences and you can't get help for 4 hours.

(3,867 posts)Not to arm everyone with guns that can shoot dozens of people
And it isn't "stand your ground" as in Trayvon Martin

(100,079 posts)And hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of gun deaths that have gone unreported in the last two - 3 years. Dare we start using the H word yet? Because that's what this is becoming.
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)What a sick, sick nation we are! But god forbid we have ANY restrictions or background checks when it comes to guns.
Initech
(100,079 posts)I won't use it because that would imply it, but it feels like that's what is happening. When we have to be reminded that any time, anywhere can erupt into an "active shooter" situation, it's a serious problem. And we have an insane pro-gun organization that has infiltrated our government, aided and abetted by Russia, that is allowing it to happen.

malaise
(269,023 posts)because the NRA owns politicians. Sadly some of the relatives of those dead kids and school employees choose guns over their own right to life.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Trump should explain that to the parents of the dead children.
