Oscar® Nominated short film on a school shooting | Dekalb Elementary - by Reed Van Dyk

[@㘭]

All schools need a Silent Alarm System. You can notify cops without telling anyone. With the risk of school shootings, this should be top priority Edit: I dont wanna be that guy so I am not gonna be that guy even tho I wanna be that guy but I'm not gonna be that guy because I'm not that guy

[@daveyjoseph6058]

We had a full-time liaison officer who doubled as hall monitor. One of my teachers also kept a gun on him (controversial, sure, but comforting). Not to mention a number of level minded adults who could look you in the eye and see the motivation in your soul. No hiding. Felt like the iron dome with them around lol

[@pyroAdapt]

The first thing I noticed that immediately set him apart from your typical shooter is how he seemed to not want to hurt anyone. Him telling that man to leave was surprising because usually their goal is a high body count. Once it was confirmed he didn't hurt anyone by the time he gave up I was pretty much ready to forgive him and by end I just felt straight up sorry for him. I think what it showed it that while he was trying to become a monster as a way to exit the world, he really wasn't one which is why being receptive to her kind words and giving up came rather quickly for him. So happy I stumbled across this. Really well done.

[@pyroAdapt]

@@ohshucks7156 I'm not sure I follow what you are saying. Short films have shown death before. The length doesn't have anything to do with it. If anything if they wanted to show he killed someone they could've just implied it off screen or had the dispatcher say he's he killed a few cops.

This is based nearly verbatim on an actual shooting in Decatur, Georgia just outside Atlanta in 2013 so accurately it might as well be a dramatic re-enactment. Actors even look identical to real life counterparts. Antoinette Tuff talked down Brandon Hill into surrendering. Despite brief exchange of gunfire between Hill and police as shown here, nobody was injured. Police response was also lightning fast, again, as shown here. Tuff and two other staffers trained in crisis resolution extensively and initially thought the whole thing was a drill, which is probably why they were so chill at the start. The words of love and encouragement she said are recorded in the conversation she had with the dispatcher. Shut up, I'm not crying, you're crying.

Dude the mom and son leaving actually just dodged a bullet in the beginning

[@jonrivers5422]

This REALLY hit home for me. Im a Crisis Mental Healthcare QHP/Clinician and we just had a 12 year old bring a loaded hand gun to school because the child was being bullied by a group of teenagers. They called him names, would steal money from his pockets, push him around, and make fun of him in front of other schoolmates. This child said they were only going to scare them with the gun and they never planned to actually use it! However the gun was fully loaded along with 2 full magazines in his backpack and a box of extra ammo. That doesn't sound to me like someone who planned to just scare some kids. The kid had enough ammo to take out at least a good 175 possibly 200. Thats absolutely mind-blowing to me that that child had access to that much ammunition and that gun.. Thankfully nobody was hurt l. He didn't get the chance to scare anyone with it because he showed a couple friends who told a couple others and eventually the teachers heard and called it in! This case turned out much better than most of my cases Thankfully. Usually, I deal with lots of suicidal, homicidal, schizophrenic episodes, extreme bipolar episodes, + more. The job is VERY rewarding at times and feels SOOO GOOD when your actually able to help someone and you see them make better decisions and better their lives. It's the best feeling in the world especially when they come back or call to say thank you. It's such a rewarding feeling. However its not always like that. I all too often get really sad, depressing, emotionally draining cases where they don't want the help or to change. I watch them spiral out of control to the point of going mentally insane, giving up, and dying!

Glad the young man came to his senses and made right decision not to hurt anyone.

[@ElvenSailor_Main]

I was born in DeKalb and live right nextdoor now, i really love that it fits the area makes it realistic. And with the real shooting we just had not far away... Its sad. My heart goes out to the people who are just crying out for help, he didnt want to hurt anyone he was just having a hard time i wanted to give him a hug 😭 theres a difference between the people who are evil, and people who just want to be noticed and who are aware enough to not do anything too serious.

This is not how it goes but close to how to goes

[@DeadRabbitRadio]

It's pretty accurate. Here are exact quotes from a CNN article about the real life incident: "By the end - with police themselves having never directly talked to him - Tuff and the gunman were talking about where he would put his weapon, how he’d empty his pockets and where he’d lie down before authorities could get him. “It’s going to be all right, sweetie,” she tells Hill at one point in the call. “I just want you to know I love you, though, OK? And I’m proud of you. That’s a good thing that you’re just giving up and don’t worry about it. We all go through something in life.” Tuff then let the gunman know that she’d been down before herself, but she’d picked herself up. He could, too. “I thought the same thing, you know, I tried to commit suicide last year after my husband left me,” she said. “But look at me now. I’m still working and everything is OK.”

I'm a 35 year old man. Raised on tough love. Never cried about anything in my life, except when my dog died as a kid. When she told him "I dont know your name or nothing, but i want you to know that i love you. And im proud of you." I absofuckinglutely lost it. That shit was powerful as fuck.

Very well done. Had my heart racing the whole time. In American society where guns are held in high regard as the answer to many of life's unpleasant problems... criminals, government opposition, etc, in the hands of one who is mentally unstable, they are the stuff of nightmares.
