Madisyn Baldwin's best friend delivers impact statement during Oxford shooter sentencing

Madisyn Baldwin's best friend, Madeline Johnson, delivers impact statement during the Oxford shooter sentencing.

[@goofygirl1311]

I'm glad this young woman had the courage to tell the court just how devastating the defendant's actions have been. Every bullet resulted in a ripple effect of grief throughout that community.

[@tylerharris4392]

Who cares, shut up, you probably say this on every video that involves a mass shooting

[@CuteBumbleBee4]

When she said that Madisyn would have been his friend I started to tear up. Madisyn sounds like she would be someone you can talk to about anything.

[@juliedionisi3228]

This poor girl. And the thought that she is only one of hundreds jst from that school. Bless them all!

[@hellynnwheels6819]

Very beautifully written and spoken. I am so truly sorry for the pain you’ve endured.

[@rt.3067]

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss and trauma. Your story has touched my heart from the time you first shared it. Both you and Madisyn seem like such beautiful souls and thank you for keeping her memory alive. Her kindness is so inspirational. Always sending love and light. 💚

Wow I'm in tears may they rest in peace four beautiful souls

[@louern123]

even having been through the grief of losing my best friend in 2020, i still don’t know what to say to you . but i wish i could hug you

[@yukikowu5695]

Shows you the devastating impact of this event beyond the ones who were killed and injured - the impact is so much wider when you think about the trauma across the families and communities

[@daleme8187]

Ai my girl...im so so sorry for this that happened

[@AylaPerez-mc2xp]

Rest in peace four beautiful souls

[@coll4455]

I’m still best friends with my best friend from high school. Over twenty years. I’m so so sorry. This is unacceptable this should not be what our children are going through simply because they are going to school and walking to class.

[@stephjoelle7944]

Your beautiful. Never let anyone take your joy

[@enzozachtv]

She was going to be one of the witnesses in the trial before Ethan pleaded guilty. She got to speak anyway.

[@tracyturner3854]

Bless her heart, this tragedy has hurt so many people.

[@tacovoorhees]

Her statement broke my heart . I hope she’s healing ❤️‍🩹

Sorry for the loss of a beautiful soul, and a good-friend. - But great Promise for the future, in the Hope that she will _"live again"_ by resurrection. Sadly, for this Age she is lost. - But NOT forever! - The _Voice of Life_ will call her from mortal- _"sleep",_ by Him Who conquered the grave, defeated the power of Death. To a new and better World, _Madisyn Baldwin,_ and the others, will "awaken". - And NO-ONE there and then, will or harm or injure them! The _"Father of lights"_ Help and comfort you, wounded, as you go on. May the wicked-slain, _Rest in Peace_ 🥀🕯until its time to arise, at the _Call of God's_ _Love,_ for wonderful Master Plan. 📜

I watch some crime channels. It bugs me that people lucky enough to have the good grammar that exists in upper class families and the degrees that usually come after years of family support get many big donations. Other channels that worlk harder get peanuts. My heart breaks for any parent that loses a child. I remember the moment i heard my son's diagnosis of cancer...I remember my husbands death leaving us bankrupt. I dont remember ever once, never, not ever, wanting a fund to somehow pay me for tragedy. The world seems out of balance some how. This boy, the killer, i just wish he had one friend like Maddie, a mother or a grandmother; a teacher, principal or counsellor. We are always there for the beautiful people. I want to do better to SEE the Ethans. I want to do better.

I can’t help but wonder, what if the Ten Commandments & prayer to the one true God of the Bible was not taken out of our Public Schools 62 years ago? Would these shootings be happening today? Nothing happened immediately, but over time look where we are. We’re told to “ express ourselves.” Were told self love. We have rewritten God’s Holy word to fit our deviant Culture. School shootings will continue, as mothers are forced to leave the home & work outside the home. We live in an upside down World.😢 All of our hearts go out to these victims of a senseless act. The parents absolutely needed to be charged. Jennifer & James are typical parents of today! They’re both consumed with their own lives, refusing to help their son, who was in desperate need of help. May the God of all comfort draw bear to these families, friends, & students. ❤

Shootings would still be happening even if mandatory prayer wasn't taken out of the schools. Mandatory prayers were in schools from 18th century to 1962. School shootings in USA have been happening since 19th century when schools still started classes with prayers. The reason why school shootings still happen is because shooters are obivously mentally ill and because media glorifies school shooters. It has nothing to do with lack of prayers or 10 commandments in schools.

Or the Qaran , or the Torah, or the Vedas

[@PC-Phobic-Jean-Rene]

_You have touched at the heart of the matter._ - The Bible was open in so many homes in earlier years, guns not rare. - But senseless murders were. - Then Book of the Law was rejected, _thrown-out of the public square,_ and _closed in too many homes._ - So come the days, as when Noah lived.

[@PC-Phobic-Jean-Rene]

@@lalalalalalwlla ~ It has everything to do _with religion and morality,_ what happens _in the home in front of the hearth._ - That miserable boy, with the dead-eyes who slaughtered his victims, had no moral-compass. (Have seen that lifeless-look, so many times on faces of violent-criminals and remorseless-murderers!) No ethical-anchorage apparent. - Criminals and murderers are not born, _they are raised_ - without a north star to guide them: Scriptural teachings void. Without a father to discipline and lead them. Or mother to love them, yet NOT coddle or indulge-them. Or irresponsibly leave guns laying around! The solution to _"gun-violence"_ is the open-Bible. - The large dusty unopened, utterly rejected Book on the shelf (if its even in the home). Its probably no longer held in local library. Possibly replaced with vile alphabet-soup pornographic works, neo-Marxists readily make accessible to school-graders! Wretched cretins! Children of DARKNESS who grope-around in blackness of ignorance.

Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Bible prophecies are continuing to be fulfilled.

That's not hot you spell madison Sloppy hair for court

[@renshii422]

thats how her name was spelled.

[@ericsneary5430]

Do you feel better for complaining?

[@EllisSmiths]

Shut up and try being a tiny bit respectful.

[@MiKo97100]

*not how you spell; *ironic

[@tatertotter808]

Bruh, you need help. Evaluate why you would say this about a child that was killed and her grieving friend. Really? That’s what you took from this? Seek help

[@jojo43263]

Let’s all keep in consideration schools are harsh on kids that are not social! So along with at home loneliness, his ONLY freind moving away and NO ONE ELSE IN SCHOOL taking him into consideration I feel has to do with a lot of these school shootings..
