You a college football player?

[@dreamerqueennotunderthemachine]

So heartbreaking, what an amazing young man he was... Zenobia sure delivered one powerful, beautiful speech.

[@reginacook4705]

Cops are sworn to Protect and Serve. So if a cop throws himself/herself to save a life that's what there's suppose to do. A 15 year old kid didn't take that oath, but he had a mother that instilled in him the value of a life and he just took it a step further. That's all it is. The bravery of a young man that God chose to use. Just maybe that was why he was born so that others could keep on living. Ever wonder why you were born? What's your purpose? Not intended to start anything just to make you think.

[@katrinalivingston2004]

Exactly

[@slcncr]

"God" chose this 15 year old Boy to get killed ? It was his purpose ? *Seriously* ? What is wrong with you people who believe in such a *cruel* "God" ? Wake up, start to *think* for yourselves and get a grip on REALITY !

[@Yozzzzzaaa]

Kitebuggy well he’s probably in heaven living in paradise it is sad that u don’t believe in god yet u blame it on him

[@Infiltrator_]

Kitebuggy People like you will never understand the true meaning your mindset isn’t big enough and sadly will never be

[@PeigyStyles]

[@nikki6062]

this is about a 15 year old who gave his life to save 2 others...stop trying to take that away with comments that have nothing to do with it. right now this is about him...not about cops, black, white...some of you need to get over yourselves and the pettiness.

[@prisonmike3605]

Heroes don't fly or wear capes or have inhuman super powers. Heroes are those who put their own life in jeopardy to help those who are in need, a life sacrificed but not in vain. R.I.P young man you are the real definition of a hero.

[@MariaMartinez-jk6kj]

[@ADD-ce9en]

The change needs to come from the top and then it will trickle down to the bottom, the constitution needs to be updated, the right to bear arms needs to be changed for the trickle effect to happen.

[@touchmabigpotato7327]

You cant change our Countries statue, you cant change what represents our entire nation and its Freedom. Whoever thinks that is fucking retarded.

[@talalahmed6653]

I' m Sorry .

[@quavodab5410]

black lives matter rest in peace

[@idropgaming1625]

In order for all lives to matter one day black lives must be heard out first before all lives can matter and R.I.P Zae

[@touchmabigpotato7327]

+IDropGaming No. All lives need to matter at the same time. Not in a god damn line. #AllLivesMatter

[@kabeierlein]

really you had to 🔫 a 15 year old boy kill someonelse .

[@HPsawus]

At 15, I’m a selfish twat. That’s it. I’m just a twat

[@freeway9437]

The fucked up part is the people who did the shooting are probably kids to and there life's are ruined to man we got fig this shit out RIP little homie

[@dj_gflow]

I was good until the music started during the cemetery scene 😢

[@EMac7117]

Don't allow guns.. This is so sad and it's happening over and over again in America. Dont, allow, guns.

[@touchmabigpotato7327]

And what about knives? And rocks? And sticks? And fists? And just about anything else? Guns arent the only weapon.. And in fact without guns more people could be dead right nkw because they didnt have protection.. think about it.

[@EMac7117]

Someone You dont Know Oh that's for sure a problem don't get me wrong, but would any of this drive-by shooting happen because of guns? If it weren't for guns, both Zaevion and his cousin Juan would be alive right now. If it weren't for guns those 50 people from the night club in Orlando would be alive right now, and the other 50+ wouldn't have that horrific memory. If it weren't for guns those 20 kids from Sandy Hook Elementary would be alive right now. You can say other things like knives, sticks, and fists are a problem, of course they are, but guns are by far more of a problem than things like fucking sticks.

[@touchmabigpotato7327]

+Smeyely Ok i see that obviously. With George Washington America might not be a thing, Without guns we as a species wouldnt be at all this far without them being able to protect us and feed us. And it might've not been a drive by. they couldve chose to take knives and stab all of them to death. People are smart. If we didnt have guns there are PLENTY of ways to kill people. They couldve taken a car and slammed into them. Not only that but people are smart enough to make bombs and other projectile shooters. Pipe guns for example, Whatre we gonna do then? Ban plastic piping? Nail bombs. Ban Nails and aluminum cans? Oh and By the way guns will NEVER be banned. EVER. Yeah maybe laws will be stricter but people will always, always find a way to get guns and other weapons. Count on it.

[@EMac7117]

Someone You dont Know So the Orlando shooter would walk into a night club and single-handily knife all 50 people to death with everyone watching whilst not getting tackled at all... okie. See, the reason people do drivebys is because it's easy to pull out a gun and get the hell out of there. With a knife, you'd have to get out of the car and run to wherever the victims are, and by then they'd have time to run away or run into their house, lock the door, and call the police. There are PLENTY of ways to kill people but not any better than guns (not including like missiles and shit, I mean easily accessible items). People will still find a way to get guns if they're banned, sure, but it will be a hell of a lot harder than just walking into a store and buying every fucking firearm you want. Think Canada for example, the only way you can access a gun is with a hunting license (not including police/RCMP/etc.), you can NEVER just walk into a store and buy a damn gun. And the result? I don't want to jinx it or anything but Canada's homicide numbers are way lower, and not just because of the population difference.

[@touchmabigpotato7327]

+Smeyely Okay so if we do what canada does wont everyone just get a hunting license and then shoot people???? Think mate. Think.
