For those who don't know by now, Steve Kerr's father Malcolm was murdered by gunmen in Beirut Lebanon in 1984 while serving as a professor at American University. So this topic is not 'put on' for him in the slightest. 18 children. I am a teacher. My students got a tighter hug than usual from me at dismissal. What world are we setting them up for?

[@cyberft]

As a teacher, would you feel better if you had access to training and the tools necessary to defend your students?

[@DesignRhythm]

Agree, we should homeschool & eliminate public schools. Statistically no greater threat of violence for a child than at public school.

[@bestofhumans4715]

You Americans have to turn in all your guns.. its that simple and fyck your 2nd amendment.. a Canadian is telling you this.

[@Bolverine]

It's not a teachers job to tote guns and defend children from psychopaths. Problem stems from home life, loss of faith in the country as well as ignoring or not identifying mental illness. I'm not a Bible thumper, or too religious but what I do agree about catholicism is the belief in family and community. The farther we get away from being "In God We Trust" the more and more this will happen. If they take away our guns, they will have knives and cars.

It still amazes me how a sports show like this has some of the most poignant commentary on current events like this. This is why it's the best show in sports.

Sure I do think evil people by the loose definition exist but that’s just life and unfortunately there will always be murderers and people who commit violent crimes.

Many of the people who want guns out of the hands of Americans claim to be Christian and love the Constitution but don’t realize they hate freedom, Jesus, and the Constitution whom they claim to love. “A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.” These same people are Communist, that hate our Republic (the people are in control) and love Democracy (mob ruled).

The US is a violent country. When the US government doesn't like someone like Kadhafi or Saddam Hussein they kill him, killing hundreds of thousands in the process. Sorry, violence is in the US 's gènes. Funnily enough, the only american president who didn't start one for decades was Trump... Biden hasn't declared a war ? Yes he has, with Russia. What do you call what he's doing ?

I'm from Houston. My dad is a Hard man. Tough worker and hard as nails old school truck driver and I've never seen him cry... When he got home he was holding back tears asking my mom if she heard about what happened in Uvalde. He then called my little sister and he gave her the longest hug I've ever seen him give her. These were little kids man. last day of school down here in Houston. This is tough to stomach man, just thinking and looking at the grief the parents are going through rn knots up my stomach so bad I haven't eaten all day. R.I.P Little ones and the adults who lost their lives too.

For real, I was confused because I'm Australian, I thought I misheard but it really was the last day of school ? Bro.... 🥺 😡 That is so evil, I know in reality it doesn't make it worse, but in my mind it does, it really does, Does "everyone" even go to school on the last day ? Meaning I was the lazy kid so sometimes I'd stay home on that day and not go ? You know ? Imagine how much guilt you as a parent would feel if you let your kid stay home that day ? How would you even be able to move around the community ? and continue living your life ? Your unintentionally, reminding the victims parents of it, everytime they see your family out in public, and you didn't know or ask for any of this !? ... What about the kid ? I'm already messed up, imagine if I had to carry the guilt of staying home while my friends were murdered !? Children ? And you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life, it's not your fault, but it wouldn't feel like it, I don't think you'd ever truly be able to let it go Bro this stuff goes deep, I'm praying for that community man, really I am 🙏

I'm also a person whose father and grandfather never cried. I was raised not to cry but it seems like I'm crying all the time now week after week. Month after month and year after year. Something needs to be done so our tears can at least dry.

@@truthwooph4083 In Houston it was the last day of school. In that Uvalde Elementary they had 2 days left of school and that same morning of the shooting there had been ceremonies. Ceremonies like honor roll and things like that where the parents go to the school and watch and take pictures of their kids. Imagine, as a parent, going to the school ceremonies to take a picture of your child holding up an AB Honor Roll certificate and later that same day realizing you'll never see your kid again. That is a chilling thought and I still haven't stopped thinking about it.
