With the type of guns they are using in these shootings sometimes the dead are unrecognizable. They have to verify it 100% before they inform someone of such a dreadful thing. If they got it wrong it would be horrific. It takes time to identify people within 100% certainty.

It will forever be stuck in my mind how angry parkland was as a whole and made damn sure everyone saw the pictures of those kids. Meanwhile in Santa Fe those crosses AT THE SCHOOL got taken down so quickly as if some people in authority wanted to make sure it’s gonna be brushed over asap. I remember all the parkland faces and names but I don’t think I saw the Santa Fe Kids that were taken so unjust for longer than a week on tv.

[@krankykrista]

That’s exactly right. They do have a permanent memorial (not near the high school) and there’s a small memorial on the side of the high school. However, I think they could have done ALOT better to honor the victims. FL as a whole rallied around Parkland parents and really gave them the support they needed. I’m not a huge fan of the FL govt, but they sure stepped up to make the parents at least feel heard. The lousy TX govt officials seemed too bothered by the whole thing to commit any real time to investigating and learning. Instead they threw (useless) money at it for stupid stuff like a “resiliency center” that’s never open and no one even knows what it is in the first place. 🙄 It’s a sad situation and shame on the TX govt for handling it so poorly.

[@race38dirt]

If the locals in Santa Fe hadn't run the media out of town, the story would have been covered more. The people were literally avoiding the media. They didn't want to answer for the gun culture around there.

I went to school in Santa Fe when all the schools were conveniently located on War Path. I even took ballet, gymnastics and tap with Ms. Lindie right next to the old Winns or what might be still, The Dollar General. I'm definitely from a different era of school kids. Mean girls roamed the halls. Bullying was common place, especially for us lower income kids who wore hand me downs and garage sale clothes. We were taught American history, Texas History, said the Pledge of Allegiance each class day, hung the flag outside of school and learned how to fold it and why we respect our fallen soldiers. We picked on each other but I never could have imagined that violence of this caliber would ever make its way into the halls of Santa Fe schools. Even though we would ruse each other, the atmosphere never felt like it would change and evil would creep in. Not like this.

On May 18, 2018, a school shooting occurred at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas, United States, in the Houston metropolitan area. Ten people - eight students and two teachers - were fatally shot, and thirteen others were wounded. Dimitrios Pagourtzis, a 17-year-old student at the school, was taken into custody. The shooting is the eighth-deadliest school shooting in the United States.

[@JenesisX]

Yet we heard almost nothing about it, or the shooter. So strange.

Im Australian and can PERSONALLY attest to the difference gun reform makes. There is no other country on Earth that has mass shooting problems even remotely like the USA does, an average of 12 mass shootings a week how can this no illicit change?? But its the school shootings that get me, why are your babies paying with their lives for the inaction of those who are SUPPOSED to protect them, why are your next generation loosing their lives so adults can choose 'rights' over 'their little lives' I can only HOPE that the next generation coming through, the ones that actually live this horror day in and day out will be brave enough to stand up and make the changes needed when they themselves are adults and in positions of power to save their children, their future generations. Australia had an horrific mass shooting in 1996 35 people died, within months, within the same year the laws were changed, a 3mth long buy back scheme was introduced, gun owners were asked to relinquish their guns for every gun handed over a check for $100 was given, you didn't need to give any information about the gun nothing, the laws here are very strict on getting a gun licence and even stricter are the type of guns allowed to be owned, you also must have 2 combination lockable secured safes, 1 for the guns and a separate one for ammunition, all guns MUST be registered, all gun owners MUST have a licence, no semi or full automatics, and a bunch of other laws and safety precautions the point is though since then we have had................. ZERO mass shootings since 1996, that's 28yrs, no kid here ever has to go to school and wonder if they will be killed, no kid has to go to school here and practice "active shooter" drills and NO parent ever has worry about whether their child's life will be stolen by some ego bruised, selfish, "hard done by" revenged filled POS. Surely the most basic of rights, the right to not be murdered/the right to live is MORE important than the right to bare arms, surely.

A LOT of reform has actually happened. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of gun laws changed across every state. California has the strictest gun laws in the nation and still had/has mass shootings. Because gun laws already in place aren't enforced properly and aren't the changes that matter. More school shootings have been stopped by one thing than any thing else: friends, families, and school reports. As more people learn the warning signs, more are making reports and more are taking those reports seriously.

It's heartbreaking to hear the horror in the former teacher's voice, how brittle her voice is. I can't understand what is going on in the shooter's mind. The horror that these children and teachers and parents and everyone affected by this shooting have to go through is unimaginable. I hope that the witnesses and especially the victims who are injured but have survived will be able to lead a halfway normal life one day. I hope that all those affected can learn to deal with the loss of those who did not survive. May the students and teachers who had to give their lives rest in peace.

My second oldest grandson was a senior at Clear Springs in League City. His sister and a cousin were Sophomores. It was hard to hear of a shooting so close to them. The kids at their school held a fundraiser to help out folks and there's a photo of them all wearing the Santa Fe High School colors and standing in the hallway in solidarity. I've got two more grandsons and a granddaughter in high school in other districts and one in kindergarten. I worry all the time that this will happen again. I keep hoping that the districts study what happened in all the previous ones and take measures so we never have to hear of another one. As for this shooter, while prison would be good (and there are psych wards in the TDC, my ex worked in one in the panhandle), as long as they keep him far away from life outside custody and he ends up living a very long life and never gets to experience what others miss due to his arrogance, I'm okay with that.

I go to this school. I was in 3rd grade when it happened, and am in 10th grade now. The people there for the event graduated a year before I entered the building. These days, the school is pretty normal. Kids talk in the hallways, and there are more than a few "jokes" about a "part two". Nothing ever comes of these threats. The building is more secure than a normal school though, all students have to walk with their bags through metal detectors, and there are armed police officers around the halls. Teachers are required to use a fingerprint scanner to enter the building. Santa Fe isn't much different from other medium-sized Texas towns, except for the fact that the only notable thing about it is that one of the deadliest high-school shootings occurred here.

Just FYI the femoral artery is not in your arm, it is in your groin/leg, aka runs along your femur hence the name "femoral". The major arteries in your arm are the radial and brachial arteries.

Implementing some "safety measures" while ensuring such easy access to guns and protecting the right to own them makes no sense to me. It's like guns have rights but people don't.

[@detectivekornfed]

I'm an American, and an unfortunate argument can be made that g^ns have more rights than women and school children. It's dystopian.

School shootings only happen in the US, they continue to happen because the solution to the problem is never even discussed, it's considered to be something that could never happen in America. Consequently, nothing is done to combat gun crimes, such as school shootings, + not surprisingly they escalate in frequency yet still no action is taken. The truth is, although US media + society in general avoid facing up to it, gun crimes like that of the attack at Santa Fe High, are just accepted as the price you pay for the pleasure of legally possessing the firearms that so many Americans do, despite having no need or good reason to do so. It appears that America is willing to put up with no end of gun violence as long as no stricter controls are introduced, + as long as it's someone else's kids getting shot, which it is most of the time, attitudes quickly change when it's not, though. School shootings happen because nothing is done to prevent them, they're allowed to happen, the guns you all love so much get used to do what they're made to do + those directly involved talk about the need for change while everyone else makes sure that doesn't happen. What is getting discussed more often these days, + I believe it's supposed to be taken seriously?...?...? It's the stroke of genius whereby potential shooters are identified before a shot gets fired, perfect, or it would be if we were anywhere remotely close to making such a thing possible, which we're not, it's a ridiculous suggestion. Don't forget, the answer to the problem is well-known + proven to work, the UK had a school shooting in 1996 + in stark contrast to the US, young kids getting shot dead whilst attending school was considered in no way acceptable + steps were taken to prevent any similar attacks + to this day not a single school shooting has ever taken place. Regular citizens have no need to own firearms, removing them from society is therefore only logical + no credible argument against doing so has ever come up. The more time that goes by + mass shooting events continue to go on in the US, the more people understand the situation + what is allowed to keep on happening just so people get to keep guns they don't need + can't justify to any meaningful extent. The next time a bunch of school kids get slaughtered in their classroom, you know why, some people still don't seem to get it, this film is all about searching for answers but the main issue is avoided, like it always is. What was on the kid's mind is the big issue, did that train of thought contribute to the UK completely wiping out school shootings from the nation's reality???? No, of course it didn't, the US won't ever prevent school shootings because they won't accept the solution, they're different from everyone else, they need guns but they can't say, why??? Frankly, it's pathetic, they value guns beyond all reason in spite of the crime + violence that they bring, they can't offer a single positive aspect that comes with them but the thought of doing without them is not an option, they won't hear of it. So, next school shooting when parents are looking for answers, someone should explain that it's just part of America, like baseball + Coca-Cola, have the guts to tell it like it is........... Of course, no one will, fortunately people like me are on hand to do the job, dirty as though it may be, someone's got to do it....................

Those who sacrifice freedom for safety deserve neither freedom nor safety. Cry harder, you will not infringe on rights.

It's interesting that not one victim here talked about gun control. Maybe because it's Texas

[@sivonni]

A LOT of reform has actually happened. There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of gun laws changed across every state. California has the strictest gun laws in the nation and still had/has mass shootings. Because gun laws already in place aren't enforced properly and aren't the changes that matter. More school shootings have been stopped by one thing than any thing else: friends, families, and school reports. As more people learn the warning signs, more are making reports and more are taking those reports seriously. And other countries have mass stabbings, bombings, and there were more people killed in France by a truck than were killed at ANY mass shooting in the US. So...are you planning to outlaw trucks?

[@sihammer7942]

@@sivonni No, outlawing trucks, knives + bombs is a ridiculous notion, one which I never even remotely touched upon, but when people do I always wonder why??? It's such a laughably weak point, I'm well aware there are all sorts of tools, other than guns, you can use to kill people + I'm not talking about banning them. Is that supposed to make banning guns a waste of time??? Because there are other ways to kill still available??? This is a typically desperate attempt at opposition much like the moronic 'Guns don't kill anyone, people do', argument. The same can be said of heroin, presumably......... Banning guns isn't ridiculous, or impractical + any pro-gunner who understands the issue knows only too well no credible argument against the idea, exists. The gun crowd have never been able to justify their side of things. How do guns benefit American communities, what advantages do they offer? They've never come up with anything close to an answer to that one, a satisfactory one, anyway........ And it's hardly a trick question, is it? A final word, banning guns isn't crazy at all, + guess what??? They did it in Australia, + the UK + gun crime + violence is........ I'll call it 'uncommon', in both nations. They made changes around 30 years ago, what's changed in the US, in that time??? Well, take school shootings, since Columbine in 1999, they've become so common they struggle to make the news outside of the state they occur in. Nothing good, in other words. Regular people don't need guns, they only offer US communities crime + violence, I could go on........ If I did, you wouldn't have an answer, maybe some other piss-weak nonsense I can walk all over, but nothing worthwhile because there's no such thing. People often resort to insults + name-calling because they can't offer anything that supports their view. I hope you won't do that, I've been deeply hurt by some of the slurs + accusations I've had thrown at me + I deny every one of them........

What do you think of the gun fanatics wanting to have USA 2A rights in Canada? Once that bottle is open, how do you close it again?

[@islandthrifts809]

What do you mean by gun fanatics? Do you know 90% of mass shootings in the states happen in ‘gun-free zones?’

[@courtneyfrost915]

You can't close it again. In my country, if they ban guns, law abiding citizens will abide. The problem is, criminals will not. And, since there are so many guns in circulation, the criminals will always be able to obtain guns. That leaves law abiding citizens in fear of not being able to defend against the gun toting criminal. Police response is not faster than a bullet. So, people want the option to have a gun, even though most of us do not have them. But, you can't go back, once you allow widespread gun distribution.

@@courtneyfrost915 Also, the weapon isn't the issue. In other countries that outlawed guns, knife crimes immediately went on the rise. A guy in France killed more people with a truck than have been killed in ANY mass shooting. Mental health and terrorism are both issues that need to be better addressed. By a LOT.

[@MissyB-M]

These stories are also going to be told by the children of the Palestine and Israel war but they will be 10 times worse!

[@sivonni]

Especially the survivors of October 7th. I've heard their stories and the released hostages' stories. It's more horrifying than any mass shooting story or war story.

[@NorthLegacyStudios]

Are you being serious right now? Are you really going to stoop so low that you have to compare tragedies? I do believe both are awful but I also believe you shouldn't undermine one event by comparing the severity of another. Please have some respect for these people and their loved ones. Bring awareness to things that are actually causing the genocide, there's no need to compare trauma.

[@200_Pounds_Gone]

This still hurts so much. 😢 The pain they have all had to suffer and still suffers. I can't imagine having to wake up every day and praying it was all a bad dream and have to remember it is very much real 😢 i know the survivors, the real heroes may not see this but thank you for your will to survive and your bravery to share your story 🙏🏽 ❤️ You are all so loved. Thank you for giving me another reason to fight through these dark times, i truly needed to watch this 😢❤❤❤
