the devastating thing is it's only a matter of time before this happens again, somewhere between us there are people like him already plotting to do the same to innocents! How do we stop this?
I guess if u can buy a gun just like that kinda is the issue, considering how responsible ppl is of the day, this isn't the first time something like this had happened but yet no change in gun laws, what does this say ? How responsible are we for having them the way they are laws and ppl
I know it’s a bad situation but to have 400 cops and 1 shooter they need to quit , come on if they had gone right in the death toll most likely could would have so much lower , those officers should be ashamed of themselves
I’d bet the same people on here who supported defund the police are the same ones criticizing their job performance. “Hold them accountable,” they cry!
The republican party is responsible for the ease of purchasing a gun and getting the gun into the hands of a unstable teen. The republican party stopped background checks. The republican party stopped any accountability of the gun sellers or gun manufacturers. The republicans in office get thousands of dollars from the gun industry to make sure guns sell no matter what happens to innocent children.
They dealt with it like it was a hostage situation, which it clearly was not. The main objective was to get to the shooter, as soon as possible and disarm him. I can understand the first few officers having to retreat, they had normal handguns and no body protection, while the shooter had a AR-15. So they would of stood no chance against him, what they could of done was tried to distract him from shooting more children. So go right to the door and make it seem like they were coming in, the shooter would of then turned his attention to the door and officers. He would of probably started shooting at them instead, so thats minutes being saved from him shooting at the students. He may of decided to go to the door and approach the officers, then they could of retreted and fired at him. The shooter had no idea how many officers there were outside, or what guns or body armour they had. They needed to put pressure on him straight away, not back off and give him time. When the other officers turned up, with better guns, body armour and shields, they then should of put them shields at the front and stormed the classroom. Then again the shooter would of been drawn to that, not the children. He would of been shooting at the officers who had shields and body armour to protect them. Children could of then run out the classrom who were able too, then officers could of either disarmed him by force or just shot him dead. Students that were seriously injured, would of got medical help immidiately and some would of stood more chance of surviving. There would of been injured children, who must of died because of how long they went without medical help. The only time its a risk to go in to that situation, is if an armed person is threatening to shoot people. So then officers can't put peoples lives at risk, this situation was the complete opposite. Theres only one shooter, he can only use one gun to shoot, he can't shoot everybody at once. So the quicker you get to him, the less people he shoots. Instead they allowed him to shoot and kill children, without any pressure on his life or any attempt to stop him. They have to say to themselves, we had guns, armour, shields and 100s of officers. While the children had nothing and we thought it best they fight for themseleves, I can't get my head around it at all. I can't get it in my head, how armed officers could stand back and hear children being murdered. I hope that lives with them, for the rest of their lives. As for the killer, how can you just shoot innocent young children at will. How at no point did he feel anything for what he was doing, for somebody to do what he did, there must of been warning signs. There is no way he was normal, somebody who does that must of shown signs. I think the US needs to think about making schools more safe, they should maybe think about making it secure like a prison. High fences, security door lock systems, each classroom to be locked during lessons, having armed security guards on all Elementary and High Schools. They need to make schools secure, where its impossible for outsiders to gain access. If they had armed Security Guards at the entrance, they could also do searches on Students going in to school every morning. That will also prevent a student who attends the school, from bringing in Guns or Knives. Its obvious from this sitiuation, you can't rely on Law Enforcement. I am a dad and my Children are my World, I can't imagine how terrible this has been for them parents. Also the children that witnessed what happened and how it will effect them for the rest of their lives. I honestly hope we don't see this sort of thing again but how many times do we say that.
Two words, Oasis Outback. Currently under investigation for selling 10,000 rounds to a Mexican cartel. They sold Ramos the weapons that killed children and teachers.
The motive was a wicked heart, no need to search too hard on that one. He was under the control of eternally condemned evil spirits of those fallen messengers from the cosmos who hate God, spirits hidden from man that can only be revealed to man according to God‘s will. The arrogant and unscientific person says, “I don’t see them, therefore they don’t exist,” while the wise and humble person says, “God can you show me the way you want me to walk in? Will you please show me what I cannot see on my own?” So sorry for the victims of this heinous crime. I’ve been petitioning God for your comfort and for grace to come to the world to understand why the immortal and perfect God does let such terrible things take place in this temporary era of darkness that Jesus Christ has overcome through His death on the cross, to the salvation of all humans who do what is right according to God’s word and do they do not cling to wickedness when warned.
A cop saw him before he even got to any of the classrooms?!? Confronted him how? Was he planning to go to this school the whole time or did he just go there cause he crashed near by?
This perfectly illustrates what happens when you have an entire generation of men babies running a society. It's unbelievable how irresponsible the attitudes of people are today compared to my grandparents generation. This type of audacity and immaturity will only lead to much more of these events. I hope your egos are worth it.
Isn't this something that happens in there more frequently and yet this didn't triggered anything when a teenager buys assault weapons and so many rounds?
I better risk my one life at the expense of let say 15 students who could have made it if police could have intervened 1 hour after they arrived…..I'm actually super angry at the police who failed in what they swore to do.May the souls of the fallen generation rest in peace.
Whenever this happens people always only ever blame the weapons the shooters use, or in this case, the police’s poor handling of the situation, as well as America.
But people hardly ever asks why this individual did what he did? Like, what made him decide to wanna waltz into a school & start shooting at innocent children?
I’m not saying guns aren’t an issue. We do definitely need stricter laws regarding assault weapons. But people keep making it out to be the one & only issue.
Because even without guns, these guys can find other ways to hurt people
He posted he was going to shoot a elementary school and nobody did anything. Facebook should off called authority immediately.. Facebook must bear some responsibility. .
Curiously, we have multiple shooting with AR-15's after having basically no shootings, not flagged by our Democrat run FBI, just before our Democrat run Congress tries to get rid of AR-15's
Schools was bad when i was going to school in my younger days as well. Kids would carry knifes, brass knuckle, Numb Chucks, Small guns, and thing to school. Cause of the gangs in school. Yes i even packed a gun going to school to protect my sister, and ME!
Every thing was hushed up back in those days! Not publicly> Known! SHHH HUSH UP ABOUT IT~ But some one was getting beat up or stable every day! Far as a all out shoot out. That never happen! The closes i seen to a all out war in schools was? The RACES WARS. BLACKS AND WHITES every one was packing some thing 👀
the devastating thing is it's only a matter of time before this happens again, somewhere between us there are people like him already plotting to do the same to innocents! How do we stop this?
"He bought guns legally at the age of 18th birthday" this line hits the hardest….wtf..
She look like this serial killer from back in the day what's his name Ramos something he looked just like him.
I guess if u can buy a gun just like that kinda is the issue, considering how responsible ppl is of the day, this isn't the first time something like this had happened but yet no change in gun laws, what does this say ? How responsible are we for having them the way they are laws and ppl
400 cowards 21 dead !
I know it’s a bad situation but to have 400 cops and 1 shooter they need to quit , come on if they had gone right in the death toll most likely could would have so much lower , those officers should be ashamed of themselves
Police bully people when the stop them. then they don't comfort them in in shooting
I’d bet the same people on here who supported defund the police are the same ones criticizing their job performance. “Hold them accountable,” they cry!
School safety is poor and bad all around country, because police system is very very very bad in this country

He was a weird looking coward!
Doesn't selling 375 rounds or so to a 18 year old seem kinda weird?
The police department was the real criminals
I feel like they should be not able to buy a fking ar at 18
I just wanna cry this makes me sick to the core

Who gave him the money to buy them?????
A cop saw him before he even got to any of the classrooms?!? Confronted him how? Was he planning to go to this school the whole time or did he just go there cause he crashed near by?
Motive was probably illegal immigrant was gonna be getting deported
How did he get in the school🤔

Standard FBI issued.
That thing wasn’t a women nor a man. He was just a weird concoction of Mother Nature

I hope this school shooter goes to hell.
Mexicans are terrorists.
The shooter was a terrorist.
Usa Law permits guns and law give death Penalty. People wake up. So funny. If justice will work the law have to changed for good of everyone
I better risk my one life at the expense of let say 15 students who could have made it if police could have intervened 1 hour after they arrived…..I'm actually super angry at the police who failed in what they swore to do.May the souls of the fallen generation rest in peace.
They don't attack the shooter but they flip the vehicle if a pregnant woman because she didn't stop fast enough.
We need gun control. Why? Cuz if we have more "good guys with guns", it'll only be as effective as these officers were.
Killing would
Be way to easy for now on let’s keep the shooter alive and ask him why then torture him to see how it feels to lose a child

Any photos of any bodies being removed from school yet???
Anyone can get a weapon in America . Stop being so stupid. . Money rules
He posted he was going to shoot a elementary school and nobody did anything. Facebook should off called authority immediately.. Facebook must bear some responsibility. .

Curiously, we have multiple shooting with AR-15's after having basically no shootings, not flagged by our Democrat run FBI, just before our Democrat run Congress tries to get rid of AR-15's
wonder where he got the cash to buy all this
