To think it happened 22yrs ago ,they said it feels like it happens last week !!!it’s a sad life n they’re almost 40 years old now

[@isthatthebestyougot4845]

And they will never ever get over it...

[@c8smail]

I think you misinterpret him. He's just real. He's recalling all these moments that he lived through so personally back then. It's wonderful he found healing in helping others and going on mission. What struck me were how he prayed. How he needed to be WITH people who understood. I think that's like God. Emmanuel, God with us. Jesus wept. I think he's ok. He even said it doesn't dominate his thinking any more. I knew a student in my year who committed suicide and it still can affect me. And that was 50 years ago!

When he started crying I just wanted to hug him

[@deniserodriguez5060]

I like how he said show more love. This really hit me. Will said some very sweet and powerful words in this video. Everything he said was relatable and reminded me of something I have experienced and it has made me feel like I am not alone. I agree, we live in a materialistic society, which causes people to not show passion and love. It's very sad. It got me thinking of what I should work on in the way I treat people and how my actions might affect others. Thank you Will! I wish you and your family and friends love and happiness. You deserve it. Best regards.

[@TheDolphingirl20]

Thing is you can show all the love in the world and there will still be people who won't accept it or in some people can't accept it and that's when stuff like this happens

@@lonelylantern9135 and you do realize, people evacuating would cause easy targets in the halls, right?

[@lonelylantern9135]

@@cloudcraft7153 You are unrealistic. The alternative was far worse. The alarm reduced the shooters options massively. It probably reduced the duration of the murder spree also. It was a brilliant thing to have done, and I hope many more think to do the same should, God forbid, another school shooting happen.

[@RosieSlovenka]

It's crazy how survivors always have a moment from that day that they tell, where they know it was God that saved them. Rachel seems to be the only exception, however, Rachel wrote in her diary a year before the shooting, that she would only be on earth another year. I think she and Jesus agreed she would leave, and leave a legacy for His glory. Rachel is one of the reasons I found Jesus.

[@willbeck8189]

Rose K I’m glad Rachel’s example could help lead you on the path to Jesus

[@dylanlol3501]

They weren’t saved. The people who were killed weren’t guilty of anything. The only reason these people survived is because they didn’t get hit by bullets or the bullets didn’t cause fatal injuries. Religion makes people so unbelievably delusional and blind it’s concerning

[@pepesylvia9354]

I see the point of view of both you and Dylan. Humans will never understand

God has so much MORE for you. I cannot imagine the grief on that scale. I remember another interview you did you said you got to make things right with Dan after picking on him a little. I think that was a God thing, he gave you that time. And that probably meant the world to Dan. Keep pushing, keep going. This life is temporary and short, you’ll get to see everyone again. And grief will exist no more. That’s a promise God gives us that we can hope in. Praying for you Will.

[@evielightfoot1637]

I honestly feel so bad for the people who had to experience school shootings, it is such a serious subject that not a lot of people talk about, and if news company’s talk about them they focus more on the murderers and not the victims, and the victims are the ones that have died or suffered. I think that they should focus more on the victims who lost there life’s and there families, and also school is a place where people should feel safe but with this subject it can make it very hard for them to feel safe xxx #stopschoolshootings xx
