I feel Ashleigh's anger and trauma. We all do. 😢💔
Me too 😢
HORIBLE!
Most moving report on this shooting I've seen they are both correct we need to hear the details we need to not become sensitized to this type of violence
Yes, we all feel it. But now it’s time to stand up as We The People and make schools safer for them. Make these babies lives matter!!
@@denagetz9894 exactly! Rather than just talking, we gotta fight!!
What a powerful segment. My heart hurts for the victims and their families 😣
there are aisian, black, and Brown, people going into terrible debt to turn their skin white and change ethnic features. so they won't be Targets.
nope it is back to the fema propaganda fake scenes - Texas children the same Children from Sandy Hook -find legacy marketing network 06/01/22 podcast those actors are grown up now --kyle ritterhouse was one of them also
Heartbreaking….Sad part… who’s next?
@@Barbara-yg7bj wake up it was all fake
@@Jeangirl19 Does it help you soothe yourself to pretend whatever frightens you isn’t real? I certainly hope so.
This is uniquely an American issue. She's right when she mentions its not happening in Canadian schools... or schools around the world.
American society is one SICK society...a tragedy beyond words!
it dorsnt matter whos issue it is .Phsycos are in every country .I just saw a video of a phsyco killing many in canada
@@duanehopland7506....but not like here.....we must have herd of them
@@nadiahope1175 BS ! Type violent crimes on youtube search in canada or any other country .Its no different .Worlds going to hell without God and lack of parents raising children right.It doesnt matter where your at
@@duanehopland7506 Nobody is saying there aren't mentally disturbed people in every country. But she's right that these mass murders are not a common thing in any country except the U.S. I live in Canada and this type of massacre is few and far between whereas it happens *repeatedly* in the U.S. That is the issue!
I was in Connecticut too... the grief, shock and heartache in the community were palpable. I thought I was having flashbacks, but hearing Ms. Banfield, seeing her emotions I realize how much Sandy Hook affected me. Uvalde's tragedies should affect change. ...but will it ever? almost a decade and nothing. Rise up and unite America ... our children are being massacred, and for those who survived, a precious childhood gone.
Armed teachers, Armed guards, Armed students, And the proven NRA School Shield Program. Let's do it. Stop the carnage.
I agree but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how MSNBC interviewed a father holding a photo of his daughter & then CNN interviewed another father and he was holding a photo of his daughter but it was the same girl in the photo the 1st father was holding!!!!! What is going on here?!
I remember Sandy Hook. I am not even an American or even in the United States and I can tell you exactly where I was when the news reports came in. I had just come back from sitting my final exams and was in the lobby waiting for my parents to come pick me up for Christmas break. I can even remember all the faces of the people coming in and watching the screen and asking me where this footage was happening.
@@oceanark77 It is liberal democrat propaganda to play on viewers emotions so libs can whine and cry for gun control.
@@TiffWaffles Many people are becoming suspicious that these mass shootings are not just random incidents, but are in reality liberal terrorist attacks. It is not normal for anyone to just take a gun out and go shoot a bunch of strangers.
Finally someone says it! Enough is enough. I live in Canada as well. This never happens ever!! It’s so rare if anything. This is why I don’t want to live in America. I’d be terrified
It's a good thing that the Canadian constitution did not include their version of the second amendment which would have allowed regular Canadian citizens to own firearms with minimum restrictions, ie firearm license, must be at least 18-21.
Free healthcare helps. Some crazies here can't afford to get help.
You feel the same way a lot of us US citizens do. I want out.
@@stephendacey8761 Free healthcare? I come from Canada and we have to pay that shit through our taxes each year. It's not free and there are some things that aren't even covered even though we do 'pay for it'. My province (Ontario) has health insurance coverage that doesn't include long term cancer treatments, doesn't cover long term illnesses like Kidney disease or the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as Lupus, etc. Some operations aren't free. So, when you have victims of school shootings come in where they sometimes need long term aid such as multiple operations to remove bullets and repair damage done by said trauma- only a few of those surgeries are going to be covered before OHIP runs out.
It is NOT free healthcare. Canadians saying that we have free healthcare are woefully ignorant because we've got to pay for that shit out of our taxes.
@@TiffWaffles I go to Montreal and Quebec City often, and they all say Canada has "free" healthcare. I'm a U.S. citizen and some people here think America should do what Canada does w/ it's healthcare. But, from what you are telling me, it's not "free" at all, and does not cover many operations, so I guess I was misled.Thanks for educating me on the healthcare system in Canada.
I've been watching these horrible shootings since Columbine. This time the media seemed more angry, more emotional. Not taking away from the horror of the others, but I think everyone has reached their breaking point. Remember, after the Mosque shooting in New Zealand, assault weapons were banned in FIVE DAYS.
I remember Columbine. I was a very young child at the time and the tragedy came weeks after my country celebrated Nunavut's confederation to Canada. However, things definitely changed in schools even in my country. I don't remember any of the changes but I remember that teachers were definitely very scared. It wasn't until Sandy Hook when the schools in my area were freaked out enough to implement some sort of emergency protocol. This included locking school doors throughout the school day, having an intercom or whatever to sign in for parents and visitors, and other things that would hopefully stop an active shooter from gaining access to the school itself.
Sad that after Columbine the US still hasn't learned their lesson and made changes.
People were angry with the mass shooting I had to go through because it was the deadliest one in America (Las Vegas, 2017) and we really thought something would change than Parkland happened..
4:21 "It's not just another shooting. It's another Sandy Hook!"
Words could never be truer
"It's like another 9/11"
1) way to crap on thousands of dead.
2) does that mean we need to invade Mexico since this shooter in this new 9/11 was Latino?
She says stupid stuff, we have to ask stupid questions.
She also mentioned 9/11. Imagine if she also referenced Virginia tech or columbine. Like she could have said it's another Virginia tech and/or columbine
@@99mrpogi 9/11 was a terrorist attack
Could have inserted any school shooting.
Ashleigh, thank you for being real. I hope and pray that something can be done to prevent this from ever happening again. My condolences to all who lost loved ones.
We need to STOP, hoping and praying and act, to vote politicians/bone head, like Gov Greg Abbott and Senator Ted Cruz out of office. I've stopped hoping and praying and voting against those two Bone Heads.
Why aren't more people angry like this.
Maybe because it's become so commonplace, people are simply numb to it? I am sure the kids pursuing sociology and psychology degrees are all over this stuff. Deep issue(s).
They are afraid to loose there precious guns.
Because it's not their baby lying dead in a school.
you mean about to shoot a school up ?
Good ol American individualism …..
Ashleigh - Thank you for coming out about your experience at Sandy Hook. Thank you for showing real emotion, for telling it like it is... Not that I want to see more tragedies like this (or more tragedies, period), but why don't we have more news people who are not afraid to show their human side? It's just a damn shame there's a need to report about tragedies, ANY tragedy, in the 1st place.
Thank you Ashleigh for being REAL and for telling it like it is. You speak for me and millions of other parents and grandparents. What the HELL are people doing? I have the same picture in my head and in my heart of parents waiting at the reunification center, waiting for their turn to be reunited with their precious angel. They wait praying and begging for their child to come in and they don't. How horrible to be there in a crowd and watch one by one as the crowd shrinks down to the 19 parents that will never see their precious angel again.
@@brendamotley466 Hopefully this time, we won’t have to extremely malicious conspiracy theorist claiming the whole thing was a hoax like Sandy Hook experienced. Regardless about how any of us feel about stricter gun control vs mental health intervention, there is raw and real footage of families waiting outside people there and stories first-hand of survivors that are undeniable. These families have already been through the utterly imaginable. I’m inclined to think that none of them will be getting email later from the crazies saying the whole thing was a hoax and that they were bought off politically to stage it or two get Democrats in control blah blah blah. These families in this town have Truly experienced the unthinkable just as Newtown and Littleton did
I agree! Love your show Ashleigh! Such a huge ❤️
I love your response. It is business as usual after each shooting.America needs to rethink our gun culture. The right of the individual supercedes the rights of gun owners.
A goddamn brick has more intelligence than you. Banfield and the rest of the media are in the know that these are scheduled DHS active sh00ter drills. Hell, BANFIELD herself was in NEWTOWN on THE DAY BEFORE it was said to have happened. Her crew were there to set up on the 13th.
He's not old enough to buy a case of beer or rent a car. He couldn't even buy a handgun in Texas. But he's old enough to by a military-style rifle though. Only in America. American exceptionalism is truly exceptional in this area.
Where did he get the money for all of this? Thousands of dollars and no job.
Love you Ashley. I cried with you and share your rage! I am an American but immigrated to Canada. I purposely did not make my children American citizens due to this scary environment. How the hell do parents in the US send their kids to school? To Church? To grocery stores? The US best wake up! You the people need only STAND UP to change your government. Easy to blame the government, but you the people put them there. They are elected last time I checked🧐
EXACTLY
As a fellow 🇨🇦, I didn’t want to point out that this rarely happens here, not to gloat, but to say I don’t even know how to react! 🤷🏼♀️
I am absolutely broken hearted over these babies!
Thank you Ashleigh for standing up…..
❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸🥺
Don't throw stones especially with the issues you guys have
@@DR.DisInfect what part of “not to gloat” was throwing stones…🤦♀️
And also 🙄, I’ll take those “issues” all day long because despite our problems I at least feel safe. Sorry we couldn’t see eye to eye tho….🤷🏼♀️
Powerful, I can't stop crying, those innocent lives lost,for what...Sending prayers and condolences 🙏😢
We need to do more than nothing. Thoughts and prayers have not been effective yet. Maybe we actually do something else so this doesn’t happen again
Wow it is so scary everyday sending our baby’s to school, where everyone should be safe. ❤️
Couldn't concur more, Heidi. Well, truth is we just never know what awaits when we leave our home. Any one of can become involved in something like this. I have no clue how to safeguard against the maniacs out in this world. With the few exceptions who've shown some indications, is there any way to ferret these maniacs out? I only wish I had an answer.
@@robr2389 I don’t know either. It’s just heartbreaking.
Yes. Well.....here we have another one of those mass shootings. If it hasn't been realized by now, it needs to be. In a bunch of these shootings, some have indicators. Some don't. Maybe, all we can do is live life as usual, everyday, and hope for the best. Look at all those peeps who were simply out getting groceries. We're not guaranteed the next second. Road ragers.....the maniacs are in the population.
Why cant the US ban on giving guns to Children? Teens are still young and immatured to handle such dangerous stuff. They require love,care and attention, not guns.
I will kill myself if this happens to my kids. I can't live
It's a real problem when our family prays every single morning that we all stay safe at work and school and see each other at night again. My daughter goes to school with 2,500 other teenagers.
Today I looked at my children after picking them up from school and thought when will it be them? Those poor parents thought it would never happen to them.
Praying 🙏 for the families.
Yeah because that has done wonders in the past 😤😤
Yeah that’ll help
Hasn’t worked yet…
You deal with this your way and please have the respect to let others deal with it their way.
@@cathygutkowska1753 NO. something more needs to be done besides praying to some invisible dude
So this explains why ppl is still waiting to hear this… the parents who haven’t heard about their babies is probably because they have passed . This is so sad omg I can’t imagine
I can’t either. Words can’t explain the heartache!!!
Ashleigh Banfield just brought it home. My prayers 🙏 and deep thoughts about what the families are going through are with them all and the children who saw their friends being gunned down and who are scared to death right now .❤💔
We're also planning on moving away from the United States. This country is going crazy
Hope you will succeed, and I mean it.
I see here comments like, we need security at every school. Where I live the only security is a fire protection system.
Don’t blame you. Smart move
I’m trying to leave in the next year and a half. I’ll go teach overseas fuck it
Already working on it myself
@00SecretAgent Denmark
😭😭😭I can’t take it anymore!
❤️
Girlfriend of the shooter saying she’s gonna finish the job ?!? I didn’t hear anything about that
I didn't either! And what happened to the 45 year old male the networks parroted that police had in custody for allegedly killing 2 adult's and injuring 14 children that were being rushed to local hospitals via ambulance and helicopter? All of that breaking news evaporated when Ramos showed up!...The bubble headed bleach blondes fake emotion is nauseating.....
This will never change. Once it gets started, it gets into peoples heads. Once you open Pandora’s box, there’s no turning back.
Right! I can’t think of one single crime that ever just sort of “went away” because nobody wanted to do it anymore. This is going to become a weekly occurrence. We can’t seem to agree on preventing guns versus preventing mental illness blah blah blah. Meanwhile - everyone ignores the logical solution in my opinion - metal detectors bullet proof glass high opaque fences have been around in prisons and courtyards forever. But we’d rather have this image of a sunny playground with open fences and parents walking up randomly to hug their kids and all that stuff rather than keep our kids physically safe
u r so passionate , Ashleigh. i love you and your reporting. im a huge fan of yours in ottawa Canada. i had no idea u were from Canada. my sister is a journalist, freelancer, geneologist, well known here. has written aa couple of books. i love how you covered the Brian Laundry etc case. sorry my memory evades me. b12deficiency problems.
keep up the amazing reporting , stories.
kathy , Ottawa
Ashleigh, thank you. I have been in Newtown/Sandy Hook for over 20 years, my husband and I went to the high school, my niece is now in the high school (her friends and some of mine were in Sandy Hook), our son is at one of the elementary schools here. This needs to stop! Thank you for being so honest and raw, thank you for keeping this topic going. I had to talk to my 8 year old son about everything and explain why they would have so many police officers at the school the rest of the week. Thank you 💚💚
Do you know Robbie Parker?
@@hoppes9658 I did because he was our contact when our son was born and was in the NICU for the first week. I know him and his family have since moved (my son was born in Nov 2013) but we did get to know him sadly it was after his daughter was no longer with us
@@jenniferconley3396 You have seen the CNN interview with Parker ? I’m not fencing but that stack of cards fell right there.
@@hoppes9658 I have seen it. I’m not sure what you mean by fencing? I know that his interview was widely criticized and that many uses it to say that SH didn’t happen, which I know for a fact it did. All I can say about his interview is that everyone deals with nerves differently along with dealing with grief differently. I do know that with his job he has to deal with very sad and difficult situations daily and also having to be the one to give extremely difficult and devastating news to other parents frequently, so that may have played a part in the way he delivered on CNN
Just one question, 'Jennifer',.....care to explain how 20 kids were said to have been killed in a deccomissioned elementary school that had been closed since 2008, was only being used for storage, and was eventually going to be torn down, anyway?? A school that had no internet service going or coming from the school for almost six years?? A school that was not A.D.A.-compliant meaning that it wasn't handicap accessible??....................................................................................................................................we'll all wait.
Appreciate your honesty which is so important ♥️
Ashleigh thank you for all you do & thank you for caring so much. My heart goes out to these families. Prayers 🙏 for all. Its a parent or a grandparents worse nightmare.
Sandy Hook, I remember all too well. I had a very horrible time with Sandy Hook. Today when I heard the news abt this school shooting in Texas, I asked the same exact thing... what have we learned since SH?? Clearly not a damn thing...nothing. We are doing nothing to protect our babies!! 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭 I can not believe this!! And although we all come together and pray and hold prayer vigils, its not the answer!! These gun laws need to change!! Our babies are not safe. A grocery store, a church and now this!! 😡😡😡😡
This is one reason why I have chosen to home school my child.
Thank you for your honest raw emotions and speaking the truth. WAKE UP AMERICA!! This isn't an America I want to be part of 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭
Actually, even since the Virginia tech and columbine shootings, no one including state legislators even learned a thing.. Connecticut legislators only learned their lessons after the sandy hook shootings in which they passed stricter gun laws
I would also say, what have we learned about fighting wars in distant lands that have no value to The U.S. Dumping more money into a war where the answer they give is what should have been done in the first place.
the kid that committed the shooting learned nothing
Everyone says think about the first responders… what about the news people who listen to everyone’s stories. That’s gotta be so so tough. I’m glad we see raw emotions from reporters
Thank you❤️ we appreciate your strength💪🏼🙏🏼
I'm from Connecticut, I can't believe nothing has changed
I love my senator Chris i will vote for him a hundred times if I have to ❤my respect to Steve Kerr for speaking up the truth may God bless him and his family 😥 governor Abbott should be held accountable for this tragedy the state of Texas has a law you don't need a gun permit to walk around with a gun
Texas needs legislators and a governor who are willing to revise their gun laws regardless if their laws will contradict the second amendment since most Americans are abusing their second amendment rights to the point that their violating their state laws
Well, that’s illegal. How many times did you vote for Joe?
Thank you Ashley for sharing!❤️ Another awesome coverage and review, only by you. Love your show, I’m at the edge of my seat til the end! Every time🙂
Thankyou for that reality check I am in agreement that it's the same scenario over and over. I am Australian and my mind cannot comprehend sending my baby to school and having to fear for him. For his safety and for his life. I am so sorry for these people 😢 I am crying.
We love you. Finally. Thank you for articulating exactly what we're all feeling here just in our home in utter brokeness. There's this movie called Grand Canyon from '92 where somebody throws a baby away in a dumpster, our middle aged protagonist finds and keeps her and tells her husband the epidemic that's taking hold in this country,
'We are coming apart. Something is wrong. Deeply, irreconcilably wrong. We are now throwing babies away in a 7-11 dumpster.... and we are getting USED to it.'
We in my little circle have not become desensitized to this madness, but we watch as the world around us has started to. If we don't stop with political imaginary problems that mean nothing and start solving this stat, we won't be a super power much longer.
What is it Eminem said, 'The Untied States of Embarrassment.' That was in 2001. Twenty plus years later, we are baring witness to the autumn of civilization before it's all powder, ash and nuclear dust.
Joe is embarrassing us. He can’t finish a sentence and his wife has to tell him when to wave, like she did at Easter. He’s feckless.
This brought tears to my eyes Jesus
i really feel for these families , all of them, wish i could take their place, take their pain away. yes ii have lost a son but not in this manner or age. (34).
i can visualize and imagi ne the pain, sorrow, grief, anger, these parents are feeli g right now, and will be for a very long long time. imso so so very sorry my friends . prayers from Ottawa Canada
And teachers and children are up and getting ready this morning to go back to work and school. Prayers for the families, city, my state, and our countries children!
This will be different than SH as this is rural, poor, immigrant descendant families of Texas. Please keep the murdering Losers name out of the media as we all hurt and pledge to take action and scream No More!
“The two most dangerous things in the world are sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity!” Dr.MLK
Thabk you for being so raw and explicit. Americans need to hear it as it is. It's so true it's becoming a desensitized nation because it happens practically every other day. The GOP right now are going to give excuse after excuse and tell us that they are looking into it and working on it just so time passes and we move on to the next tragedy. Please stay focused everyone we need change. But also hug your family tight tonight. Spend quality time together and drop whatever issues there is because tomorrow is not promised. Stay diligent. Spread love. 💜💚
We all NEED to be real here. We deserve to be angry. None of us asked to live a scared life. Unfortunately it’s happening. I’m with you Ashleigh🕊
I’ve been analyzing this issue from every angle and have studied every proposal for 25 years. And I’m sad to say I don’t see any solution whatsoever.
I've been thinking about it too. My first thought is to keep schools locked...no one in unless they have authorization of some kind. But then, you would also have to inspect the kids to make sure they aren't bringing in any weapons. Maybe if you do all of that, combined with some volunteer watch dog groups, you could have a few less school shootings. I also think each and every community that has schools will have to come up with plans that work for them. The government won't/can't solve this issue, so it will have to be up to the local communities. It would cost the schools money, which they already struggle with. It is a very tough issue to solve, but we have to come up with something....FAST!! This just cannot continue :(
@@OdinsChannel1 Sandy Hook's front door was locked. The shooter used his guns to blast out the windows to gain access.
Why aren’t schools as secure as police stations?
My husband and I have been discussing the subject as well as American citizens, and we got to the conclusion that our tax money should go to make schools safer since these corrupt politicians won't move a finger to pass gun laws regulations.
@@airam-sj2172 schools should be as secure and safe as a police station!
Thanks for showing your rage. I feel the same.
What are we doing? They are doing Absolutely nothing!

I live in Houston. I broke down and cried today. Couldn't take it no more. Pray 🙏 🙏 for the nation. 🇺🇸 Pray 🙏 for the children. People are going to have to start homeschooling their children. 📖 📕
Born in the BRONX New York City.. But I live and work in London England UK here in Europe I don't here nothing like this shit way to many guns in the US
Guns are banned there and rightfully so
This is Sandy Hook all over again
im sorry ans so sad for all the families. sorry for your losses, we all hurt with you for your little ones. bless them all
God bless these families.
This is so heartbreaking 💔 in every level.
Wow so sad! I pray for all these families! What the hell is going on! Just pure evil!
Please put back prayer and pledge of allegiance in all schools every morning. Let's put christianity back on our schools over the intercom each and every morning
@@richboz3156 yeah that’s fix shit 🙄 this isn’t a Christian nation and never has been get over it
@@richboz3156 god didn’t stop these kids from being murdered. Stop it
@@richboz3156 yeah because prayers have done so much to stop incidents like this.
@@richboz3156 wtf? This is actually complete nonsense. You think that’s the issue? Don’t be silly
America wake up! THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!!
Exactly, this is unbearable and unbelievable, 10 years later the same. This is outrageous disgusting. RIP every single week.
Sometimes, I get scared that I might be the victim of a mass shooting like this. Worse, I get scared that my younger sisters or parents may be victims of a mass shooting too 💔 It sucks that stuff like that is still happening and nothing is being done to stop it
Without The Guns - That 18 Year Old Couldn’t Have Shot Anyone! 😡That Is A Fact!😢😡‼️ ~ 🙏💐🕊
And women wouldn’t be able to protect themselves from stronger men who wish them harm. The real question is where did he get thousands of dollars for all this equipment and why do these same people say they can’t talk about the horror of abortion. What about those babies?
the clear question is was this a targeted massacre or was he chased and unluckily crashed at the school and he just ran in to evade cops and did what he did. unfathomable
Time to show the pictures, don't blur, just show it, to the people who live in the land of the free, and home of the BRAVE.
Every single day. In all detail.
The only ones that would be affected are "normal" people, the dangerous ones like graphic stuff
Exactly!!!!
Ashley thank goodness 💗
The solution is to put metal bars on all windows in our schools and universities to protect our children as well as keeping body armour like they do for airbags in cars and life jackets in airplanes for each Pupil …this in addition to armed guards and bulletproof doors. Also get rid of outdoor playgrounds in schools in case shooters try anything from outside the premise
I am glad I don't live in your crap hole of a country where children have to be sacrifices to a decrepit, ancient constitution.
What about malls, grocery shops, churches, theatres etc? Fortify every building in the country with bars? Keep people from walking outside on the streets in fear of someone buying assault rifles and deciding to go on a shooting rampage?
@@kittygirl_thetortie498 I only use Instacart for groceries which are left outside and I don’t go to theatres in america only when I travel to Mexico or canada
Or there should be walls protecting the outdoor playgrounds in order to prevent the children from being easy target for shooters
Then you would be sending them to prison if that was the case and that's no way for children, teens and young adults to live their lives. America needs to do something to protect its people it needs gun control policies!
I left a longer message on another clip. Just a thought. My daughter graduated from ECOT -Electronic Classrooms Of Tomorrow. Yes she was home schooled by taking classes on her computer at home. I think this could become more of a trend in the years to come.
Ashleigh, what you could say is ENOUGH! Ban assault weapons! Insane loss of innocent lives. While armed law enforcement did nothing but ring their hands and wait. WTF
I agree about the cops but isn’t a revolver an assault weapon? People need to be trained so they have a better understanding.
Not Trump not Biden’s fault. Guns AND mental health and parenting. Those are too complicated to fix evidently. So why isn’t anyone on EITHER side in support for ironclad lockdown secure school campuses?
Are we all just still in love with that nostalgic vision of a “fun and open school yard with kids laughing on the playground? “ At what cost are we holding onto that vision that school should look “open and inviting” rather than be PROTECTIVE? Or should we all just be complacent with “hope” instead of prevention?
I remember those days, Lisa. Going through elementary school in the last half of the 1960's. This wasn't happening in those days. It's looking all the more like schools are going to have to look more like a prisons than schools. Might be the only way to stop the scumbags and maniacs.
I say again .Gun grabbbers be gun grabbers
Criminals can still get guns.
...You dumb leftards ... Alec Baldwin 1 law abiding gun owners 0...
"this is not happen in Canada" I will say also say this is not happening in our Country either. 😢...
Mental illness awareness and education need to proliferate!
yes but other countries have mental health issues too- we need GUN REFORM
Ok then socialize medicine including mental health treatment …… we’ve been screaming for it for years……. Have you??
And gun control
Selena Gomez has a substantial plan about putting it into all schools and I hope that she spoke to Jill Biden about it last week. It needs to happen
they need to start arming the teachers staff in every school
tf is wrong with you?? nahh at this point guns need to be taken away by force. anyone that refuses should be sent to prison
4 security guards MIA on that school. at least tops buffalos lone guard shot back
Lets get real!
Too many members of the U.S. Senate do not use the public schools.
They are too far removed to be motivated enough to end this kind of carnage.
As far as they are concerned, this is the peoples problem.
They do not see it as their problem.
And they never even lost relatives (like children or grandchildren) to school shootings. And don't also forget the state legislators (except the incumbent legislators in Connecticut at the time that the sandy hook shootings took place, wherein they still passed stricter or modified their gun laws even though none of them has a son/daughter/grandchild who was a casualty of the sandy hook shootings)
It’s not about them going to public schools. They have armed security so bring the cops to public schools.
Probably one of the easiest ways to get politicians to take public safety seriously is if they were required, as part of their position, to send their children to public school. I believe you'd find that very few, if any, currently send their kids to public school so it's easier for them to feel like they are immune to this happening to their children. They essentially have no skin in the game...
Thank you Ashley
good coverage, this is just sad,sad, sad....😥😥😥💚
I live 20 minutes from sandy hook and it was the worst thing i never even could imagine it. I wasnt a mom back then but now im a mom to a 4 year old and scared everyday i drop her off to school. 😢😢😢this is my biggest fear as a mom. This needs to stop
You are a sitting duck in a gun-free zone.
What? He has a girlfriend that said she’s gonna finish the job? Lock her up now. What job?
Ashleigh you’re the best. Thanks
Is this the American dream!! When we send our kids to school we dreamed of them not coming home? How can we live like this. God help us, I'm frustrated.
The people who were in charge were not doing anything! Parents were trying! That's the truth
The second amendment shall not be infringed. We protect every important institution and peoples with armed security. But on the outside of the school doors there's a big sign that says gun free zone.
Why doesn't anyone talk about solving the problem!! Guards in school officers assigned to patrolling schools! Answer local government assign a regimen please somebody work on protecting American children
So his girlfriend knew he was gonna kill kids, and therefore she needs to be questioned and possibly arrested, before she does some killing her self!!! So Very Very Sad 😢!! I don’t have little kids in school, but I have three teenagers left in school and this just really depresses me !!!!! This needs to stop 🛑, and y the hell the police 👮♀️ wasn’t faster in getting these kids out, before they were blown to bits!!! Sounds horrible, but so true!! Just hope he is now in hell, where he belongs!!! RIP Children and Teachers, Who Lost Ur Lives For A Teenage Killer!!! God Bless U All And My Condolences 💐!!!! Amen 🙏
Thanks Ashlie it's OK to be angry. There's a place for anger when it brings positive changes. We must make changes now. It's time. Enough already.
The girlfriend told the police that she was going to finish the job? What?! WTH is wrong with her?!
Do a national report on all schools invest in locked doors along with security windows
I have to teach children what to do if we have a threat I hate it. I could not go on if I lost even one of my students or my staff....it would gut me. I am sick of Pro Life republicans who do NOT care about actual people
I graduated in 07 and was taught what to do starting in middle school …… this shit is insane …. Nothing has changed it’s only gotten worse….. we are FAILING THE GENERATION WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING
Only care about the unborn
1,000,000 dead aborted kids, you cheer.
And dead born kids, you're outraged? Explain that. These kids are just fetuses this guy aborted, right?
I'm pro-choice and even I can't understand your hypocrisy here.
Unborn babys are people fool.
Ashleigh. We all feel you.
Jesus, please help the lawmen that have to witness this massacre. Just unimaginable what these policemen have to witness today. I'm sure it will affect them forever. Jesus, please help the little children that witnessed this tragedy today. Americans, please pray for any and all that are suffering mentally, and physically.
And pray for those opposing gun control and opposing adding funds for mental illness treatment. Pray for God damn republicans to stop going to bed with the NRA.
You mean the lawmen that vote against common sense gun laws the nation over??? 80% Republican votes…… yeah they’re the real victims…..
They should have been in there taking this guy out.
So teachers shouldn't prompt open doors especially to go call 911 because a teenager wrecked a truck and carrying guns to the school... think about it. What teacher does that
Action speaks louder than words.......
This has to stop and this has to stop now. We the people need to all come together and stop this. The hell with the politics. It's pretty obvious to me that they haven't done anything . It's just the way I feel. THIS NEEDS TO STOP AND STOP NOW. PRAY FOR THESE FAMILIES. GOD HELP US.
I want those who voted for mass assault weapons to go the the school and view the carnage. Then tell me about the rights of those who were gunned down...! The rights of the guns are more important than the rights of people. The rights of the gun is protected, the rights of the people are not! Right MTG? That’s why you hassled that columbine survivor,right?🤬
@00SecretAgent even poor parenting doesn’t bring a gun to the issue. If this guy did not have a gun, how much damage could he have done ? But, because guns are more protected than people, he was able to legally acquire those weapons, and the mags, and the ammo. Did the person selling all that ever think why an 18 needs to have all that? 😳
Now ask why schools aren’t filled with armed faculty to protect kids from terrorists who never respects guns or human lives.
I didn't know Ashley from Canada - I am from Canada - I was in law enforcement in Canada - we don't just accept gun violence - we don't have gun violence anywhere like it is here! We are out raged every time it happens!
I watched Surviving Uvalde last week and saw body cams of cops coming out sobbing and throwing up. I can't imagine what they saw, but you know they'll have to live with what they didn't do forever.
VOTE THEM OUT! VOTE THEM OUT! NOW!
I love her passion
Is the country going to continue to vote the same people into political office who are unwilling to pass sensible gun legislation? If we as a country are fed up with the people that are not going to anything different vote them out of office. Vote in people who are willing to represent the views of the people!
"Vote in people who are willing to represent the views of the people!"
That would mean LESS gun laws. Gun owners are a bigger group than dems or reps COMBINED, over 100 million Americans. Gun control supporters are quite the minority.
Well said
Not another 9/11.. I get what you are trying to say but 9/11 is on a whole other level
Yes! Bullet-proof glass for all schools! 💓
what about grocery stores, theaters, malls, churches, etc...??
A wall around every school, and atleast 20 soldiers, with tanks, and an attack helicopter. 💓
Yes have a military battalion at each school 💓
We literally all live in a war zone now. I hate going outside.
How about watch towers on all 4 corners. A moat or trench. If zombies can’t get pass it, than no shooters will get thru it
How many times does this have to happen.. You have to lock these kids in the School!!!! They can't protect themselves... They are to young to understand evil ppl...
I am the age of the kids that died in Sandy Hook (7 years old) im 17 right now, seeing this is just like those kids, my age eccestionally die for nothing, its like. what the fuck man you know?!
