PRAYERS TO EVERYONE IN INVOLVED

[@Andrew-sq9yw]

Every single time. Law enforcement and the FBI knows about these people and nothing is done. Let that sink in. Every. Single. Time.

[@NomenClature-o8s]

No laws had been broken at the time. Tell us exactly what you would have done without violating their Constitutional rights. Go ahead….we’ll wait.

​@@NomenClature-o8show did this kid get an assault weapon into school?

[@GarySusdorf]

@@NomenClature-o8s I will field this one ... 1st ... He had been on the FBI radar for one year and should have been taken out of this school and taken to an alternative school that handles these types of children ... 2nd ... The teacher's hands are tied and are limited to the discipline they can administer ... 3rd ... No family values and both parents working and nobody raising the children ... That is our society today & the press loves to report the shootings ... Bring back Prayer, Respect to our Flag and what it stands for, Corporal punishment into the home & schools, take the power away from the kids & give it back to the adults .... Period ... Last but not least, quit laying down & making children and walking away from them ... Most of the parents don't even know what their children even have in their rooms at any given time ... A concerned 74 year old Grandfather raising his 12 year old Grandson since birth, & yes he has been introduced to a paddle a couple of times, when necessary ... We cook, We love, We care & we discipline ... And we dam sure know what's in his room & what he does ... By the way don't say not to bring back prayer .... I scrolled down this post & every other person has said " Prayers for all the different people "

[@jeremytoney9367]

My question is why did this young man go off like that? That would be a question that I would want answered. When I was 19 a kid walked into my classroom and shot somebody dead and he got 25 to life at this point nearly 25 years have passed And multiple people were scarred by that thing in my classroom in 1999 I’m a father of a 12 year-old boy and I understand the fear however this is something that’s been happening over and over again time and time again in schools all across the nation young people are getting access to guns and shooting places up. What have we come to and why aren’t we doing something about it ?

its not the guns [people. guns cant pull their own trigger. its the people thinking its a good idea to shoot people. and its people just being truly fed up with all the bs in the country right nowi mean that girl who was sitting next to him said it doesnt surprise her at all. meaning there had to have been multiple red flags that that kid is totally messed up. we the adults need to listen to our kids and truly adhere to what they say when they say. hey. this kid in my class…..

[@jeremytoney9367]

Thank you for that comment. I think common sense needs to be addressed and your comment asks the right questions.

[@shawnmartin9112]

Really, how many people stay to themselves when you were in school? I know a few and they didn’t shoot up a school. This is the problem today let’s make safe spaces. Let’s let them identify as a cat a dog hell a plant it’s ok. Instead let’s go back to parenting the way our parents did. Enough of letting kids think they are adults. And tell parents what to do. I’m sorry 14 you know right from wrong.
