Props to the staff member for holding his ground and stepping up. " He probably got paid minimum wage...and he didn't run. He stayed there to point people to the direction of an exit". Fight or flight..and the guy chose to fight the only way he could by helping others to safety. A freakin' hero IMO.

my elementary school played a game called „gravity attack.“ a teacher would yell „gravity attack“ and we would all down on the ground as of the gravity pulled us down there. it was their innocent way of teaching us how to protect ourselves from guns. i hate that our schools have to do this. i hate it.

Mass shootings & health problems are a common issue that many, if not the majority experience, especially due to poverty....a large number of Americans are poor. It’s not being “unlucky”, or misfortune, that’s a fairly average American life.

@@soufbayshawty just because it's "normal" doesn't mean it's right or ok or not unlucky or not unfortunate. This is the type of mindset that americans need to get out of. Just because things are the way they are doesn't mean they have to be. We can change things and make them work better.

How in the actual Hell did her incredible mom keep it together and do the exact right thing in that moment?

[@haley5501]

Kacie's mom is incredibly strong. If her mom was hysterical on the phone over her babies being in the middle a shooting, imagine how much worse these women would have felt in their unimaginably tense, and scary situation. Although I'm sure her mother was fighting back all her strong emotions of fear, she held it together and remained supportive over the phone offering whatever sense of comfort she could. It makes me tear up just thinking about it.

[@MissMoontree]

I remember having a lot of weird and angry feelings while visiting a family. Something was off, but I couldn't put my finger on it. It is why we get those feelings. We notice something, but we don't fully understand what we noticed. In that family the dad hit his children. He acted very friendly and open, but he was abusive and controlling I learned later. It is weird how we pick up those hints

[@KateCarew]

MissMoontree we really do, and I tell my kids all the time that our inner voice, our Jiminy Cricket always tells us what we need to hear and if we don’t listen that voice will go silent then we are LOST. I remind my 16 year old that if she gets a vibe or gut instinct follow it, that I’ll always come get her and even if she’s afraid she’s going to miss out on fun it’s not worth your safety. So you were wrong and everting was fine? Awesome for the others but if your guts were right it’s better to high tail it and be grateful your instincts are so honed. Of course she never tells me things until a while later but she’s dodged some bad scenes and I hope we all remind ourselves to leave when we know we should.

[@Angelica-nk2wh]

I think these segments are really human you know? Its easy to do these mysterious and quirky true crime episodes but the down low is that the foundation of true crime tends to be painful and traumatic. It’s a good reminder that true crime isn’t fictional and how we should approach these topics so that we can inform others while still being respectful towards those who are victimized by these acts.

This is heartbreaking. And the fact that she has Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome made this hit me even harder than it would have otherwise, because I have that too. So I know what kind of physical pain she would have been in while trying to run. It probably felt like having a heart attack, and she must have been so dizzy and close to fainting. Her strength in keeping going is truly amazing.

[@123gocrazypeople]

I was in a 4 hour lockdown at my university and I remember when it started people were running and screaming that there’s a shooter outside. For hours no one knew what was happening, rumors were flying, people were calling their parents and crying. No shots were fired that day but it was still terrifying. I remember thinking “oh my god we’re next. We’re the next shooting” and seeing something like this reminds me of how lucky I am when so many people haven’t been. I could not imagine the terror of a real shooting.

[@taffrynbinksma3529]

[@summertwinkle749]

I guess the answer is try to stay calm in any situation so you can try to make the best decision in a situation where there is a lot of stress to fight or flight. This recounting of the mass shooting reminds of our current virus situation but a dragged out version...you know there's a danger but it's location is unknown and different people are telling you different "right" things to do and spreading "facts" that may or may not be true. In any case, you try to weed out the wrong facts and make the best decision in the best time. And of course, many things are out of our control. So i just mentally prepare myself for whatever outcome comes because there is no point in trying to control what you cannot.

My cousin and her husband were going to go to this but my cousin said she just didn’t feel right about it so they ended up on the strip when the shots rang out so they bolted to their hotel and were held there for 72 hours after it happened. They used to go to Vegas once a year, they haven’t been back since.

[@Frederic_Chopin.]

Other people next to her probably prayed as well, right before they were killed by gunfire. "Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that made it past some selection process and overlooking those that did not, typically because of their lack of visibility.

Its a terrible thing to do but isnt it hypocritical to torture them after they tortured so many people killing is illegal except when its a gouvernemnt offical also we dobt know that persons mental state ans with a life sebtence in prison they cab get help and contribute to soceity in a health way

@@ashleyh8692 if they are mentally ill they won't understand what they've done it doesn't work that way unfortunately.we need better mental health understanding and more funding so this kind of stuff doesn't continue to happen

[@ashleyh8692]

@@kso4068 I actually disagree on this point. I think people want it to be mental illness. But most judt want fame, to feel power over life, to get back at a society they think has wronged them. Most are not mentally I'll and we throw that excuse around more than neccessary. People can be just evil. Mental illness doesnt make you evil, some people just are.

My highschool teacher was wounded pretty badly, but I’m so thankful she’s alive. It really breaks my heart how many people we lost that night. 🥺💙 also, the staff member is a legend. Wow. 💜

Oh wow, I just watched the Virginia Tech shooting episode on the show "I survived." This is becoming one my biggest fears

Well don't let it. This is not the norm and it's just a show. Walk boldly with no fear.

I’m curious, you said you’re not a religious person but you prayed to God. Has your religion strengthen since then, remained the same, or worsened? What compelled you to pray to God that you hadn’t really had a connection with?

Almost every minute this woman said something that hit so hard... definitely one of the most emotional videos i’ve seen. So sad and unfortunate that this is the world we live in now. Schools aren’t safe, concerts aren’t safe, festivals aren’t safe, walmart, the list goes on.

I’m really interested in stories like this and none of them have ever made me cry this much.
