Father of Oxford school shooting victim Tate Myre speaks at sentencing

Buck Myre, the father of Tate Myre, who was shot and killed at Oxford high school in 2021, spoke at the shooter's sentencing hearing.

[@jacklampron8988]

Well spoken Mr Myre. You may not feel it inside, but your courage and family leader stance is a testament to your manhood...a real man. The world needs more like you and your son would be extremely proud to say, "that's MY Dad". One foot in front of the other, onward and upward...

This man's statement is nothing short of amazing. I hope delivering these heartfelt words helped him heal even just a little. ❤

I'm so very sorry, no parent or child should have to endure this kind of pain. You're in my prayers

[@adamantium4797]

Like those prayers help at all lol

[@goodlooking6704]

No one should.

The first thing I said when the coroner called was to ask if violence had been done to my daughter. It hadn’t, and I take comfort in this. I’m also comforted that I have 35 years to be grateful for. It’s been two years, and I still fight every day to learn to live with it. But this is something I cannot imagine. If she had died of violence when she was a teenager, I think it would have killed me. I’m so sad for these families. I’m so sorry for everyone who has lost a child. I hope everyone can find peace again.

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤❤ a parent should never have to grieve their child’s death

[@josebarajas5368]

Thanks for having the courage to get up there and share your families struggles. Life is hard enough to navigate without a tragedy like this to have on your entire being. I pray for your family. Make your little boy proud

[@scottymclaren3582]

I do hope you and your wife work out your differences and stay strong together. Mr Myre, you are a strong man. A loving man. I hope your wife sees it in herself to forgive all the arguments and pushing aside you both have done after this tragedy. God bless you and your family.

[@lashawnc7216]

I truly admire his strength. He is a honorable man. Lord please mend his and his family hearts, help them to find purpose and happiness through the pain. Tate will never be forgotten!! #Oxfordstrong🙏🏾💕

[@nurselisa40]

I believe mentorship is a powerful thing we can all bring to our village. Needed now more than ever.

Mr Myre you are so brave my condolences may our heavenly father comfort you and your family ❤❤❤

God bless the father and the rest of the victims and families 🙏🙏🙏

[@user-kb7tx9qq8k]

I know these families are hurting in a way most will never know. The hard part for me with Ethan crumbly is the fact that this kid was begging for help. In my opinion was screaming for it!!! His parents set this kid up to a total disaster. They tried to skip town on their own child. Nothing excuses this violence but I feel the parents/school should have longer sentences than Ethan does. They knew better than to let a child like this loose in society. It's disgusting for all the children evolved. Again my heart breaks for these parents!!!! But I think Ethan was done dirty by every adult in his life!!! I also believe these kids would still be alive if just one adult in his life, took action.

[@rosemagyar1207]

Agree with everything you said. I hope parents pay closer attention to the mental health needs of their children.

[@ashleychildresss]

This gutted me

[@rosemagyar1207]

Me too. This is so tragic.

[@rickhammond2473]

Only going to get worse unfortunately walk with mace and watch your back at all times.

[@KayAintPressed]

Oh Lord please cofer this father and the rest of the victims lord I don't wish this on anybody

[@BarbieDoll-ib7ws]

This Impact Statement is what has stood out to me the most over any. So real, so raw, so honest. This man is so brave. May God comfort him and all involved in this tragedy.

[@threasaamato-wilson7238]

God bless all of you impacted by this tragedy!!!

[@adamantium4797]

So what about everyone not impacted by the event?

[@GalaxyFluke]

Sending love and light. What a true man. You sir are strong, keep fighting the good fight until you meet your sweet baby boy at the pearly gates. He is watching over you forever.

[@novenaesperanza53]

God bless this family...comfort them...take their pain away.

[@ParisLogan-ws5ik]

Damm this broke me doowwwn. I hope he finds peace

[@lineakristensen1821]

That was beautiful. Compassionate. Not like the other parent I heard who called Ethan a piece of trash. That just helps no one. Hate is never the solution.

[@gillianporter7194]

Praying for healing and comfort to all the families of the victims🙏🙏🙏

Tate - Tater - sounds amazing. Good luck healing and forgiving, I wish and pray the best to you and your family. All the families

[@user-sy2qg4mk3r]

Why are more kids in America going to their schools and doing these absolutely horrible crimes. You's have to ask yourselves why are kids doing it. It is like it is happening all the time and no one seems to have an answer for it. Get to the root of the problems and deal with them before some other people are put through horrors the these families are going through once again. RIP to all those who have lost their lives in school shootings. God bless their families from the Republic of Ireland

[@thekingwilsonshow2414]

It’s time to bring prayer back to the school. Rest in peace Tater

[@retroguy9494]

The guy dresses like THAT for court? A tee shirt and a hoodie? He's in a courtroom, not on a garbage truck. He should have more respect for the court and dress appropriately.

[@torrimills1915]

Wth you making fun of what he is wearing for 😡😡

[@xautumnx123x]

If you hear how he is talking. These families are very depressed. People battling depression have a hard time doing things like getting dressed, eating getting out of bed. He could've had this outfit as a Christmas gift from his son that holds sentimental vaule. I'm not paying attention to what they're wearing only what comes out of their mouth. 💔

[@retroguy9494]

@@torrimills1915 I'm not making fun of him. Actually, I'm rather appalled. This is a courtroom and he was there to talk about his deceased son. He should have had more pride in his appearance.

[@retroguy9494]

@@xautumnx123x I don't think he suffers from depression. I think he was extremely grief stricken and justifiably so. There IS a difference between the two. In any event, he DID get out of bed and get dressed. It's just that he got dressed in a hoodie instead of, at the very least, a nice pair of khakis and a button-down shirt. There are still three places in this country where a man should not show up dressed like a slob. Church, a funeral parlor and a courtroom!

[@westinwestley]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@retroguy9494no one cares about your comment. His son died, it’s a free country you can dress however you want. Get lost.
