Horrific new detail about Uvalde massacre




Anayeli Ruiz KHOU @AnayeliNews
Sad update… Families tell me they’re going one by one inside getting swabbed for DNA to help investigators


This very likely means some (all?) of the victims cannot be identified through standard facial recognition. I simply cannot imagine how much pain these parents and survivors are experiencing right now. I do not have the words to describe how devastating this is for them.

If parents of these mass shooting approve, we need to release the horrifying images.
For now, it's an abstraction, so each time it's just another mass shooting.
Humanizing it will reach those who are reach those who are reachable.
As a society, we're numb to it, which is a huge problem.

They will not give a shit. They have already been exposed to things like that and have done nothing. We need the entire fucking nation to see them. The world needs to see them. Let the consequences of our gun fetish society be out there front and center. We need to own our shame. We need to get a fire in our asses. We need to clean house.

Unbelievable that it's happening again - and again. And not one thing has changed.

15. So many of the victims were shot in the face ?

Apparently so.




I can't wrap my head around the whole school shooting thing, anyway...


However evil you might be, however disturbed, how is your anger directed against small children ??
They are the most innocent of potential victims.
