      My youngest brother shot in the head in his bedroom in 1988 (9mm pistol), I have empathy for genuine loss. I have been in their shoes and I never demanded the rights of others to own a weapon should be infringed upon.
      I think there are a couple of “students” using this event and the bodies of dead classmates to build a bully pulpit.
      If it is empathy you want... NOT TRIGGERED!
      Shame on you!

    • @jollybee515
      @jollybee515 6 лет назад +14

      Alacran what are you talking about? I'm talking about empathy in the sense that people have been saying that its SUSPICIOUS that all of a sudden these high schoolers are taking action. They just went through a school shooting and people think its SUSPICIOUS that they responded the way they did. People respond to tragedy in different ways, they either grieve or take action, nothing suspicious about it.

    • @michaeleli3891
      @michaeleli3891 6 лет назад +7

      What is objectionable is blaming gun owners nationwide for a Broward County failure not people whom are suspicious of community that fostered a mass murder & then lectures the Nation on gun safety. This shouldn’t be too difficult to understand.

    • @jollybee515
      @jollybee515 6 лет назад +4

      Alacran People aren't blaming gun owners nationwide for what happened. They are blaming the law and the government. Pro gun-control people are arguing with anti-gun control people because as usual, everyone has different opinions on gun control but people are not blaming the gun owners for what happened, that just doesn't make sense. They are blaming the lack of gun control in our country. In my original comment, I'm not taking a stance on gun control or saying that what these teens are doing is right or wrong. By empathy I'm simply saying that we should have empathy for these students instead of jumping to the conclusion that their reaction: demand for action, is "suspicious." We have to consider the fact that they just saw their classmates get gunned down, so of course they are going to want to take action.There's nothing suspicious about that. I'm talking about their reaction and not what their message is.

Just really makes me scared that you never really know what kind of stuff can just randomly happen. R.I.P to all the children and to the teacher who gave his life to save children my age.

    These senseless acts of violence resonates for all of us. I sacrifice my sleep, sanity and health by working overnights in a supermarket when it's closed, because I am too nervous to deal with a potentially dangerous public. I'm not the only one either. A few others on night crew feel the same way. And a few people I know who work the Day Shift are too afraid to wear their ear buds at work (we're allowed) because they want to be alert in case anything happens.
    It's sad.

    I feel as though some of those who are saying it’s fake are too shaken up by the shooting that they pretend it’s all one big conspiracy. Rather than facing reality they would rather believe in fiction. Don’t think it’s real? I’d genuinely want you to speak to the families of those who died and then you’ll see this is true. It’s real. It happened. This isn’t a movie, it’s reality. Not a conspiracy.

    Sure, it's just a plastic, third leg to YOU, but to Kyle, it's HIS plastic third leg! Try to put yourself in the shoes of a child with a plastic, third leg before you ridicule these good people for their lifestyle choices. And SO WHAT (!?) if Kyle likes to wear his plastic, third leg on the left side of his body for part of the day, the right side of his body for the rest. It's HIS CHOICE people! Good for you Kyle! I hope you and your plastic leg are repaired soon.
