I cannot stop hearing the sound of the gun as he walked down my hallway. I cannot unsee my classmates who were shot get carried out by police. I cannot unsee the bodies on the floor. Please keep in mind the horror of what weve gone through today. #prayfordouglas
[And:]
Never in a million years did I think I would have EVER gone through this. There is NO reason why I should have had to run past deceased friends and classmates to get to safety because there isnt a control on how easy it is to get a gun.

(33,346 posts)I think of those parents and my own two full-grown children and the despair and horror comes flooding in. (One of mine is a teacher. The other lives and works in a big city and routinely flies).
There are wars around the world where parents live that terror minute by minute, but what we have here should be preventable. We do not need every citizen, cop or otherwise, armed for modern warfare.
All of my neighbors are hunters with gun collections. I've never worried a second about any of them. I would worry if one of them started assembling an arsenal of assault rifles, bump stocks and other paramilitary gear.
We have to stop arming crazy people. We have to stop making it easy to get weapons only the military needs.

(297,240 posts)Those poor people who have to live through their kids, and teachers getting gunned down when they go to school.
Nikolas Cruz had no business with an AK15 and all those mags.. and the authorities keep changing the subject, afaik, when asked about it by the reporters.
I had just read a post that talked about the largest massacre was in Las Vegas, which I hadn't heard about because I was on a 5 month all news blackout.
My god!

(26,501 posts)the White House gets to defame, attack, threaten and just spew his verbal diarrhea. While regular people get taken out for offending some fascist's feelings. If that's what happened. Which I don't know since I don't post on that piece of shit platform.

(19,564 posts)However, Im an adult woman fully capable of taking care of myself. I cant imagine what it might be like if I were a child whod just been through what she was.
Those people have no sense of empathy or compassion. Theyre driven by their hate and anger at all times.
