It still amazes me how a sports show like this has some of the most poignant commentary on current events like this. This is why it's the best show in sports. Respect to the hosts for talking about this and thoughts are with the families and everyone affected by the terrible events today. We need change.
Coach Kerr’s message was powerful and needed to be said. Hope more players and staff in the league can continue this, great role model and a respectful man!
I believe his father was shot and killed in beirut when he was teaching overseas so I understand why steve kerr is devastated over recent gun violence.
For those who don't know by now, Steve Kerr's father Malcolm was murdered by gunmen in Beirut Lebanon in 1984 while serving as a professor at American University. So this topic is not 'put on' for him in the slightest. 18 children. I am a teacher. My students got a tighter hug than usual from me at dismissal. What world are we setting them up for?
@@cyberft As a teacher, I never want to have to kill another person. Even if it’s in defense, even if I’d be considered a “hero,” I still don’t want to kill a person.
It's not a teachers job to tote guns and defend children from psychopaths. Problem stems from home life, loss of faith in the country as well as ignoring or not identifying mental illness. I'm not a Bible thumper, or too religious but what I do agree about catholicism is the belief in family and community. The farther we get away from being "In God We Trust" the more and more this will happen. If they take away our guns, they will have knives and cars.
@@edugomez3c I’m a clown for starting a fact that in June 2020 he protested to have armed officers removed from schools in Oakland, thus making them an easier target if said situation would have happened again? Okay, nice logic Eduardo.
You want Texans to yell like a braindead leftist? Maybe they'll consider it when the NBA speaks out against China rather than handpicked topics like supporting BLM which was a bunch of nonsense, and taking away our guns so their Chinese masters can have an easier time taking us over
Chuck has some knucklehead takes on the nba sometimes but watching this makes me remember how smart and well spoken he is. Much love Chuck. Well said. We are all heartbroken.
Beyond heartbreaking man….lives lost, bring tears and heartache. Outside of playing elite level sports, I also coach young kids, and losing them is like losing a piece of yourself. Praying for the community, parents, families, the school, everyone!
america didnt do anything when sandy hooks happen. still not going to do anything after this one. takes too much cooperation. god bless to everyone effected.
@@hockey1freak remember they kicked praying out of school in the 90s when that was the greatest threat to kids, forcing it down their throats. So you ask praying does what? Nothing. Because you kicked it out of schools.
I broke down in tears at the thought of the mothers and fathers who lost their precious children today. 🥺 My thoughts, prayers and condolences to families and the community of the children and the teacher. ✝️❤️🙏🏻🕊
it really is sad, the day before those little kids came home happy to a warm meal and play video games and just like that, life changed forever for those families it really hits home if you have little ones
I cried so hard thinking of those poor innocent children, the teacher and the grandmother, the gut wrenching pain for their family and loved ones to endure and for all those who have already been traumatized by their own experiences my heart is aching for you all and I’ll not end this day without all of you on my mind. God help end this awful disease of gun violence our country has seemed to be unable to get a handle on! I’ll be thinking some mighty hard thoughts on those who have the power (politicians and lobbyists you know who you are!) you bear much if this guilt for washing your hands of the lack of heart and spirit to do the right thing!! May you, at the end of your life, have a hard check at the Gates of Heaven to atone for your choices!! Background checks! Ban ghost gun availability! Very strict high capacity gun and assault rifle background checks (like letters from professionals who know you ie doctors, teachers, bosses) to vouch for your stability, and very hard checks for ammunition!!! May those sweet, sweet, dear little children not die in vain like so many have done, how many people must be sacrificed for some crazy idealistic out grown mutations of 250 years ago when some protection/food providing had to be maintained. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
"the demonic mind is illogical" Kenny was on point with that statement. When I think about the narcissist that I came across in the past and all the evil stuff they would do it was totally illogical and irrational and petty and stupid. That statement is SO TRUE!
Steve Kerr was holding back man. This hits him hard...his father. Hes thinking about him. Hes thinking about everyone who's impacted in the past and in the present. This needed to be said. You the man Steve!
I don't usually give a damn about sports, but this one got me. Thank you, NBA for talking about this tragedy. I live in a big city in Texas, but I'm not so far from small towns like Marble Falls and Llano. Towns like that are a big part of how I grew up as a kid, visiting my grandparents. My heart breaks for Uvalde. My brother died when he was just a baby, and I saw what that did to my parents. That kind of tragedy changes people; they became their worst selves and never quite righted themselves. If you haven't experienced it, you can't imagine. I'm grateful the NBA is willing to use its pulpit to speak about this
My uncle and aunt lost their oldest son to Covid. They are forever changed. I don’t like looking at my uncle’s eyes because there is so my pain there. He posts on FB about missing him so much. You are right about parents forever changed!
Thank you Kenny! Not every evil act is a result of mental health issues. Some acts are simply evil. And yes I believe that mental Illness needs to be addressed as well. All of these guys spoke nothing but facts!
Except it takes a mental illness to be able to kill a person out of anything but necessity let alone a group of people, evil doesn’t mean anything it’s just a word. Sure I do think evil people by the loose definition exist but that’s just life and unfortunately there will always be murderers and people who commit violent crimes. When you get into mass killings it always stems from one of two things which are mental illness or an extremist in a religion, or both at the same time
@@MarlyMarlPodcast yo man, if im angry I use a lot bad words. I normally try to avoid to use them, but in this situation, let it go and you see Steve hold himself. He should let it go with all. Thats what I meant
Steve is 110% right... So sad that its like a tradition for this moment of silence then go back like life is normal. Meanwhile parents, family members suffer what seems like an eternity for them
@@gixxerbrad würdest du die Emotionen immer noch lieben, wenn du in deiner eigenen Familie so schreckliches Erleben musst und die Trauer so groß und unfassbar wird?????
@@gixxerbrad es ist ein Gleichgewicht gefragt. Und zwar kann man doch beobachten, dass die Gesellschaft überwiegend auf den Intellekt ausgerichtet ist und das Herz ausgeschaltet bzw vergessen wurde. Deswegen ist es für mich wichtig dass wir wieder Wie Saint Exupery den kleinen Prinzen sagen lässt Dass man nur mit dem Herzen gut sehen kann.

Wünsche allen Menschen die guten Willens sind und auch allen anderen Frieden und das Gleichgewicht durch die wiederentdeckte MENSCHLICHKEIT. Alles gute und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel.
I stay in San Antonio and this is the closest to me one of these tragedies has happened. I graduated in ‘21, but my siblings are still in school (Elementary, Middle & High) and I couldn’t imagine being the parent, or in my case, the sibling that hears their sibling is deceased because some idiot doesn’t have the self control to let his frustration out in a healthier manner. RIP
So much respect for Steve by taking this matter straight in their faces!!!.... I had enough of this vicious cycle of evil. It has to stop now!!!!. Grieving with all the families sufferring because of this very sad incident.😭
Why doesn’t the media show the same support for family who’s member was executed by c*ps? Someone is m*rdered daily by police officers and no one wants to disarm them, it seems a bit hypocritical if you ask me. Could these alleged “shootings” be a theatrical production used by the real criminals (g*v*rnm*nt) to manipulate and deceive the people into requesting guns be taken out of the hands of law abiding men and women? Many of the people who want guns out of the hands of Americans claim to be Christian and love the Constitution but don’t realize they hate freedom, Jesus, and the Constitution whom they claim to love. “A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.” These same people are Communist, that hate our Republic (the people are in control) and love Democracy (mob ruled). These same people are not capable of governing themselves and they need their daddy (g*v*rnm*nt) to tell them what to do. We as a Nation have lost our way and handed this country over to evil men hell bent on enslaving us. We are controlled by a world system of government and we’ve been under martial law ever since the civil war. 🤷🏽♂️
I heard abortions kill children as well.. I hope those get banned.. 👋🏻 hey why we televising Depp and heard but hiding the Epstein trial? Hahaha celeb peeedos
@Mary Beth I agree w this message on so many levels.. something has to give. Something has to change. Political figures NEED to stand for something and make a change. Once is not ok…but ok one time. Not 4x in 1 month. There has been over 200 “mass shootings” just in 2022 alone. Mass shootings meaning more than 2 ppl dead for no reason. Over 200. Let that sink in. Something needs to change. Many may not agree, but 75 year olds murdered is NEVER ok…but they lived a long life. Not 10 year old CHILDREN. This makes me so mad and sad. My prayers go out to their families. You can’t bring back life. You can attempt to help if yourself if you’re mentally disabled. Get help!!! Don’t harm others.
I just can't imagine the pain and suffering the parents of those kids are going through. Imagine, its just a "normal" day or an ordinary one. You drop you kid at school, say whatever you say to him or her. That they have a good day, etc. And then, you find out that your son/daughter was killed in a mass shooting. Thats something you may well never recover from. My condolences to all the families that are suffering from this tragedy 🙏🏻
@@godfreyspann6703 Like your talking about a child, in this case their child, TAKEN AWAY from them in one of the most violent ways possible. The kids didn’t surpass the age of 12, they had a whole life yet to live but this happened. So difficult these times to the parents of those kids
Charles was great here, he really speaks from the heart and never checks himself or has any agenda, just says it how it is, well done everyone but Chuck really had me locked in with his words.
It was actually quiet astute, I'd never known him to be anything other than a bumbling idiot but he really showed some real insight and spoke logically and intelligently about the matter.
@@mountainrambler7926Shut up Matt. You couldn't even give a valid criticism except someone needs to slap him. Pathetic. Keep normalizing children dying.
Well the only reason people say it well because like we are here to watch sports like leave politics out of sports I'm not saying the shooting wasn't sad if anything it is sad just people shouldn't go watch sports to watch politics if u know what I'm saying but if anything I agree with enough is enough with these shootings
@@abrahamsamaniego8280 shootings aren’t politics, and Kerr said what he said because he knows he has a big audience and it’ll be influential. He’s right, something needs to be done and yes they do need to talk about it because they can’t just ignore the fact that 18 little kids were murdered at school.
@@Owenschaefer well people says it's politics because it comes from the news but I agree we need speak on it just that's why people get annoyed because people watch sports to feel happy and it gets them sad when talking about something sad if u get what I'm saying but I agree with what kerr said cause enough is enough we need to talk about it
@@abrahamsamaniego8280 yeah I get what you mean, but to be fair it was the pregame lol, who watches that. I’m watching the Mavs right now by the way, I’m a little behind so I can skip through commercials but they beating down the Warriors right now. 😂
I am from London and visiting Jamaica for the first time in 25 years on business. The one place I had to visit was my old school, just to see the kids little faces and hear their questions and jokes. I cherish kids and thinking about this has brought me close to tears, and I haven't cried in 3 years. No words.
@@connor_phillipz5689 and what should be done because iam not going to give up my guns just so you can feel safe instead of sending 40 Billion to Ukraine it should have been use to secure are schools
@@mr.gainzzz1900 In a well-adjusted society, everyone would agree to have all those guns gathered up and melted down. Needless to say, the U.S. is a deeply deeply sick society.
@@mwayne5901 gun safety and training should be in schools and teachers should have an option to carry after proper training so they can have the ability to save the kids. You can’t get rid of all guns so let’s throw that out the window. You can’t stop someone from doing criminals things, it’s illegal to murder but you know kinda happens anyways. So best to not roll the dice and be prepared yourself.
Politicians stay silent about issues like this but condemn athletes when they speak up during the silence of our governing officials. Prayers for the families. This is tragic and sickening
politicians are silent because they get money from the NRA. if they start talking about gun control or some kind of gun reform they would lose support from them and gun owners.
Man Steve Kerr gives eme chills ngl. When you know his story, you can understand why he is so emotional about this. My thoughts and prayers goes to the families of the children and also the teacher. God Rest their souls.
@@wunderkid8749 nah he can kick rocks. Tryna take away my right to protect my family. Foh how come he never crying about the mass shootings that happen every weekend in the inner cities
When you realize Kerr's backstory, you understand why mass shootings - particularly in schools - is something that he cares deeply about stopping and preventing. Basketball don't matter in moments like this. Well said, coach. And to Erine and the crew, y'all are doing this better than all the shitty politicians out there. 'School is never the wrong place'. Preach, Chuck. Preach.
@@aishahwahid1221 thank you, I didn’t know if it was hard for him because of that. They differ greatly between a single death and 20. I didn’t know if he was in a school shooting himself.
If someone is in trouble and you’re ever in a safe position to help them, then do it, it may save lives! RIP to the innocent lives lost and condolences to their loved ones and healthy recovery to those injured.
@Mary Beth it’s much easier to disarm someone with a knife than with a gun so I don’t agree with that sentiment but the main point is every officer who didn’t do their job deserves murder charges
This is a great display of humanity and humanitarianism amongst these men especially Steve Kerr. This tragedy doesn't belong in the political arena, it belongs to our society as a whole. No persons or regions are exempt from experiencing an atrocity such as this one. Some way some how "WE THE PEOPLE" have to work toward a resolution together.
I've been up all night. As a mother of a son that is the same age as most of those children, my heart was so heavy for those parents. THIS MUST STOP. Innocent scared children died unnecessarily. They were there to learn and make friends not for hate . My condolences and prayers to the families, students and teachers who all have to live with this horrific memory.
How do you suggest to get this to stop? There have been murderous people throughout history. You could take away all guns and people will blow each other up with bombs or stab each other. It is human nature to be destructive.
I don’t feel good enough to move forward. It hurts to know this happens I’m very sorry these families went through this I hope this ongoing problem finally gets solved.
I've always respected Steve Kerr as a player and a coach, but I respect him a hell of a lot more for being a good human being (let alone Shaq, Ernie, Chuck, and Kenny)
Steve was shouting a false conclusion. Protecting the second ammendment doesn't make anyone guilty of "holding power". look up hr 127 these democrats wanted to pass. Total complete infringments on law abiding citizens.
The same Steve Kerr that had nothing to say about Hong Kong oppressing its citizens when the NBA was in town, but takes the safe political stance because he know's it'll put him on a pedestal ? Lets be real here, Steve Kerr, like 99% of the NBA, takes safe political stances that won't hurt their wallets or reputation among their peers. They're actually pussies in real life.
Good humans and responsible gun overs save on average 3m lives a year. No law put in place would have prevented this from happened. The kid had no background and wasn't on a watch list. The problem with gun violence are guns purchased illegally from across the border that you probably want left open.
@@timafiggy It's cause Kurr has no idea what he is talking about. That background he was talking about is BS. Gun stores already do background check by law.
Charles went 7 minutes and 40 seconds without saying a word. Shows how respectful he and all of them are to not talk over each other when discussing such a tragedy as the Uvalde, Texas Robb Elementary School shooting. My condolences to the 19 children and 2 teachers, and the parents/friends/relatives to all of them. Such a tragic event, people want to say how that they were mostly Latino that were killed or something and that since they were that their lives don't matter as much. I'm here to say that I don't believe that at all. Every life matters, black lives matter, all people are equal and it hurts to see news events like this. Things. Must. Change. And soon, not later. May 27th, 2022, 9:35AM, Friday.
Apparently if you're a person of color then you are never safe in this nation. This country will never be made for people of color. This country will never favor or accommodate people of color. People who are white are always safe and always in better hands in this country than any other race. It's sad. This comment isn't hate against white people. Facts are facts. Lies are lies. It's tiring that we keep saying things must change but things won't ever really change. In the constitution, it says for the people, by the people...where is there examples of that? There's 50 senators who could inflict change but they won't.
I'm with Chuck. Everybody at every level has some responsibility. Our society has something really serious to worry about. The responsibility is not political or social... it is MORAL.
@@igit_7296 dude he vehemently disagrees lol, I can tell he's saying morally guns are the problem and your saying I agree but let's keep the guns. Just an interesting read sorry had to say something. I don't even own a gun but I agree with you, this is unfortunately the sins of our leaders over generations thats lead us here and taking away more rights isn't what I believe is moral
@@mypud4068 I though he was agreeing with me. There are many, many advanced countries that have a very high amount of guns per capita (like Finland and Canada) and none of them have the issues we have - and that’s because America’s morals are juvenile. It’s not about the guns. If only it was that easy. The problem is Americans.
Hahahahaha Steve a hero you mean a joke, it was an act. He is either a complete idiot or purposely miss leading you about the law. There are already back ground checks. He has a political agenda he is pushing.
nah, acting to push a weak political agenda. were you at that school that day, do you really know what happened, if it even happened, do you just believe everything you hear on the "news"...???? probably another false flag to push a political position & narrative. this sh*t is so obvious, smh.
@@Jeffrey_DeBlaay...888 to me it seems like an act, because if someone has true emotions like he tried to show you don't just turn it off and on like he did. He also supports and walked with black live don't really matter, he is also anti 2nd amendment. He is a huge liberal and liberals are doing anything they can think of to get ride of the 2nd amendment. It would not surprise me at all if George S. was behind all of this.
The first responders that had to see that and all those involved on scene is life altering also and hope they are given every resource possible to help deal with it. Ty to all of you and everything you do.
@@jrfirefiher of course it's not. In America it's normal to see kids shot dead in school... I'm guessing you get numb after the 200th shooting in one year...
What Shaq said was what I was thinking about and also one of my fears of why this will never end: the underground market. Even if they ban assault weapons, criminals always find a way to do criminal activity. Making something illegal isn't going to stop bad people from doing illegal things
That maybe true! But they are making it easier to get weapons, not hard! Because they are in gun lobbyist pocket! Which they are big part of the problem. You said that now sir! But what would you say if your kid was killed in school like that! You see when it hits home then you want to change things When it's your family and the politicians family they you wanted to change things.
You say that but weirdly enough places with stricter gun control or no guns at all don't have even a fraction of these tragic events happening. Like in Uvalde it was a 18 year old kid, you think this shithead is 'deeply connected to the criminal underground and black market' ? Ofc not. It's stupid. The whole 'criminals will still find a way is a weak excuse to not act.
This is why the Thompson submachine gun continues to be the weapon of choice for robberies and violent crimes. Oh wait no we cracked down on automatic weapons and they are incredibly difficult (not impossible) to get and use. Gun regulations work. Don't let perfection get in the way of progress.
Kerrs comments were really heart felt. When the water was leaking everyone was laughing and joking and kerr was still there looking pissed. Need more people like that.
I always think after this kind of shooting ("funnily" in schools), when's the next one going to come from ? All you see on the news (and it's been going on for decades) is destruction, wars, mass killings and the like. With covid and the aftermath of it, these shootings will just escalate. The US is a violent country. When the US government doesn't like someone like Kadhafi or Saddam Hussein they kill him, killing hundreds of thousands in the process. Sorry, violence is in the US 's gènes. Funnily enough, the only american president who didn't start one for decades was Trump... Biden hasn't declared a war ? Yes he has, with Russia. What do you call what he's doing ? I'd be Poutine I'd be kicking my a** for not sending as much weaponry to Iraq in 2003 as to help kill as many american soldiers as possible which is Bidens rhetoric (kill as many russian soldiers as possible).
Blah blah blah!! Cry me a river. Listening to a BB coach talk about gun control and boo hoo all over. He's clueless but hey, he has the microphone not us. Utter bullshit. I can solve this problem over night by not blaming the gun.
Was I bit upset about how the Warriors performed, but having watched Steve's "pre-game" interview after the game, losing a basketball game all of the sudden became trivial. There are more important things in life, and I admire Steve Kerr for speaking out.
As a father of 2 middle school children, I am sick and tired of our lawmakers’ thought and prayers. We don’t want your prayers and condolences !!! We want you to fix this problem!!
You can’t legislate hearts. Evil will always find a way to hurt the innocent. Look at Russia 🇷🇺 I feel horrible for those people but I don’t want my guns took away i need to defend myself. First time you are in a life and death situation without one you will realize how much you wish you had one! We live so far out in the country we ain’t got time to wait on the Law to show up! What ever it is will be over by the time they show up. Crack head kicking your door down which has happened to us you want a weapon to fight back! In our case they heard the 12 gauge slug hit the chamber and fled for their lives. Cops picked them up on the interstate one was an adult other was 17 year old. Cops never did show up till the next day. So had we not had a gun we would probably be dead now. Or robbed at best.
That's our problem. We don't need to look to lawmakers or government to fix our problems. Government has proven over and over that they can't fix anything. God could fix everything and our prayers not be in vain but we've expelled Him from our nation and now think that immoral politicians can save us. Smh. We have a violent society because of the fact we kicked God out of our schools and every other facet of public life in America. You don't want God to be involved yet you expect immoral, greedy, corrupt politicians to fix a MORAL problem. How does that even make sense?
Rip to those innocent souls.. I live in buffalo and I’m from here, last week the Tragedy that the terrorist did in our city is so close to home I feel for the families going through this crisis in Texas.. prayers to all affected and prayers to the ones fallen. We need CHANGE!!!
Praying for Uvalde, Texas and USA from the UK. Makes me grateful to live here where we haven’t had a school shooting since the 90s. RIP to the victims and thought with their families and everyone affected.
Thanks Steve Kurr....I needed to hear and see this understanding and care from someone of another race.. it helps stop hate fueled by hurt and disappointment.
There is no such thing as demonic actions though. We have people in this country who are mentally unwell and they have the ability to get weapons that are designed to hurt or kill many people in a very short amount of time. We need to remove the ability for people like this to get those weapons and we need to get those people help. These are not hard things to do in a just society but we live in a very selfish and stupid society that will never make a sacrifice.
@@humanbeing-001 I have seen what a vehicle can do. Lets take the guns away and if there is a sudden spike in mass vehicle murders in schools we can address that when that time arrives.
True,true!Theres a spiritual warfare going on and ppl have forgotten about morals,forbidden codes,and respect?How could anyone love or respect themselves if they don’t do that for themselves?Im from Colorado and I live 1mile from the theatre where James Holmes killed all those ppl and Boulder where another misfit killed innocent ppl.I feel his pain and anguish about politics.Yes we need to have background checks,no one under 30 should own a gun but the problem is no one cares about checking on their loved ones mental health.We are just like 🌲s,gives us light,water,love,and we will grow straight and beautiful!My apologies and sincere prayers for those families who are affected by what’s going on ….myself included it hurts
Whether it’s basketball or real life situations I’m glad this crew gets the freedom to speak what’s on their mind. We get more insight here than on the news
The US is the only place where this happens on a regular basis. But no, you can’t address gun culture, teach children how to manage their emotions, or address the major anger and intolerance issues in your culture. When is someone going to say ‘enough’ and actually have the guts to change this? Enough of the "thoughts and prayers" do something.
Much respect to Steve Kerr never seen him that pissed, you can tell from the aggravation of his voice that this really really bothered him we have to do better man.....
He and Gregg Popovich are 2 of the most outspoken coaches in the NBA when it comes to topics like this. If they weren't coaches they would be perfect for leading change
In Toronto , Canada a guy with what the cops thought was a gun was 200 meters from a school. Police shot him dead before he got less than 200 meters from the school. The deceased was carrying a pellet gun , not a real gun. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families in Alverd , Texas in these trying times.
My name is Abraham Gonzales. I had been the PE coach at Robb for 15 years at the time of the shooting. I was there. I saw the shooter and heard the shots. Every student that died had been in my PE class about 25 min before the shooting began. Its devastating and our town in forever changed. I am just now finding this video and God bless Steve Kerr and the Inside the NBA show for taking the time to speak about Uvalde and gun control in general. Keep praying for us. Its not over...
Charles brought up a great point about the representatives from the two parties only voting with their party and not having any balls to use their own judgement and do what is right for the people.
Those poor children and parents and everyone involved. It's crazy that this is still happening. I'm praying for all that there are some changes. This really pisses me off, because I almost lost my father when I was 9, because a hole with a gun came to him while he was watering the lawn thank God he moved and it just got his ear lobe. I'm with Steve Kerr on this.

@3:25 As an Older Brother and Cousin, I can say that I’ve thought about this multiple times. The thought of losing your little sister, brother or cousins because some dude wanted to get his life wasted, is something I wouldn’t dare to dream of. Cause then, I would never be the same after that. My life would be solely depressed to the point that I wouldn’t want to live anymore. It’s just something I don’t ever want to imagine losing my sisters, brothers, cousins, parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles to a sense of pointless, and cruel shootings.
This hurts me even from thousands of miles away - 19 kids slaughtered and two fine women teachers killed when they sacrificed themsevles protecting their students. It is so wrong.

We live in extremely scary times. Kenny nailed it with his take. You cannot stop crazy from being crazy unless the mental health programs in this country are properly funded. Help those that NEED help the most!!!! Do not ignore mental health issues.
I totally agree. I didn't like Kenny's use of "demonic" because that introduces some sort of fantastical element to all of this where there is none. There are people with mental issues in this country whether that stems from a actual chemical imbalance or a hopeless outlook on life due to a lack of upward mobility. These things can be taken care of but the voters in this country would rather vote for anti-abortion stances, tax cuts, or even anti-gun reform positions. Its horredous to say but a lot of the voting public is responsible for these crimes.
You have NO idea what you're talking about. Mental health? WHAT???? The vast majority of mentally ill patients are NOT VIOLENT. Any psychiatrist will tell you this. There are mentally ill people ALL OVER THE WORLD YET OTHER COUNTRIES DO NOT HAVE MASS SHOOTINGS. WHY? Because assault weapons are not accessible to them. GET IT? I am so GD sick of people blaming "mental health." That is NOT the issue.
@@jthom0027 You're an idjut. LOL. The public? UH NO. We have 50 senators in Congress who refuse to vote for background checks. The vast majority of mentally ill patients are NOT VIOLENT.

We really don't though, right now humans have never been safer as a species. Im not saying we don't have any issues of course but I think the knee jerk reaction is gun control (which I just don't know how that would go down in the U.S) but the reality is society is getting sicker because of the mounting pressure to get a well paying job yet what it costs to rent and buy is a joke, its not feasible for young people anymore to purchase homes. That's a whole different issue but I truly think mental illness treatment is the answer. It's like the war on drugs, never was effective and still isn't and trillions of dollars pissed away....because the answer isn't removing drugs from the streets it's making treatment easy to get and especially with mental illness. It's not like it's never been figured out there's alot of countries with way better drug laws that don't criminalize its citizens
It hurts so much every time I see something like this, especially when it happens to little kids. Praying for all of the families 🙏 impacted by this horror. My condolences to the parents.
I'm from Houston. My dad is a Hard man. Tough worker and hard as nails old school truck driver and I've never seen him cry... When he got home he was holding back tears asking my mom if she heard about what happened in Uvalde. He then called my little sister and he gave her the longest hug I've ever seen him give her. These were little kids man. last day of school down here in Houston. This is tough to stomach man, just thinking and looking at the grief the parents are going through rn knots up my stomach so bad I haven't eaten all day. R.I.P Little ones and the adults who lost their lives too.
For real, I was confused because I'm Australian, I thought I misheard but it really was the last day of school ? Bro.... 🥺 😡 That is so evil, I know in reality it doesn't make it worse, but in my mind it does, it really does, Does "everyone" even go to school on the last day ? Meaning I was the lazy kid so sometimes I'd stay home on that day and not go ? You know ? Imagine how much guilt you as a parent would feel if you let your kid stay home that day ? How would you even be able to move around the community ? and continue living your life ? Your unintentionally, reminding the victims parents of it, everytime they see your family out in public, and you didn't know or ask for any of this !? ... What about the kid ? I'm already messed up, imagine if I had to carry the guilt of staying home while my friends were murdered !? Children ? And you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life, it's not your fault, but it wouldn't feel like it, I don't think you'd ever truly be able to let it go Bro this stuff goes deep, I'm praying for that community man, really I am 🙏
I'm also a person whose father and grandfather never cried. I was raised not to cry but it seems like I'm crying all the time now week after week. Month after month and year after year. Something needs to be done so our tears can at least dry.
@@truthwooph4083 In Houston it was the last day of school. In that Uvalde Elementary they had 2 days left of school and that same morning of the shooting there had been ceremonies. Ceremonies like honor roll and things like that where the parents go to the school and watch and take pictures of their kids. Imagine, as a parent, going to the school ceremonies to take a picture of your child holding up an AB Honor Roll certificate and later that same day realizing you'll never see your kid again. That is a chilling thought and I still haven't stopped thinking about it.
My heart is broken to hear of all this senseless loss of lives. Children, beautiful, talented, wise, loving. To the parents my heart, prayer’s, and laments. May God comfort them and surround them with HIS love…
Steve Kerr is amazing. Think about the fact that these were children. They had high school to look forward to. They had sports, their first dance, learning how to drive, they’re first job, so much of life they won’t get to live!!!! That’s not fair! They didn’t deserve this. They deserve more than a moment of silence and a headline. If nothing changes after this then you know the American government doesn’t care about your or your children.
he cares but unfortunately he's only thinking 1 extra step. He needs to be thinking at least 2 or 3. He's not smarter than the people who wrote the constitution even he thinks he is :)
Steve Kerr is a Super Hero! He almost walked away half way through the interview. He stopped and talked the truth for another minute. Got his point across!
Steve was wrong, laws are not going to change anything because criminals don't follow laws just like stricter vehicle laws won't stop a person from drinking and driving and killing people. Steve Kerr is in California where they have strict gun laws but look at what's happening in the streets in California daily. The one person that made sense on this panel was Shaquille O'Neal because he hit it right on the head when he said don't wait for 1 incident to happen to focus on that one because there are other incidents that are just as important that get ignored like the ones in Chicago and in New York where African-Americans are gunning people down by the hundreds. They are all tragic
@@michaelweatherspoon8197 you guys are missing the point of what Kerr said lol! Pray hands and saying condolences don’t do anything, you need real action.
@@usware5240 what do you mean by “you guys?” What are you going to do sir ? I understand. I come from a poverty-stricken community where murders happen on a regular basis, which I do not condone at all. Subsequently, I am not in politics; however, I have helped a mass amount of people in my community attain employment and mentored them on their educational goals, and you sir ? What are you going to do ?
@@usware5240 what action? Take guns? That won’t work. How about instead of spending money on stupid counties or pet projects they put metal detectors in every school in America. Or put security and metal detectors in every s hook in America. 40 billion goes a long way to doing that instead of giving it to Ukraine.
As much as I wanted to root for my Mavs….I just kept thinking of my 👶 kiddos….and realized that the reality is beyond one’s imagination…now one can’t even send their kids to school to learn ….Sadness runs deep
It still amazes me how a sports show like this has some of the most poignant commentary on current events like this. This is why it's the best show in sports. Respect to the hosts for talking about this and thoughts are with the families and everyone affected by the terrible events today. We need change.
Yes
they're, parents.
So what are we changing?
It's why I came to the comments, I had to say the same thing. Heartbreaking.
This show is used as a propaganda machine to perpetuate false narratives. These sh00tings are all hoaxed.
Coach Kerr’s message was powerful and needed to be said. Hope more players and staff in the league can continue this, great role model and a respectful man!
Facts man. This is out of control
I believe his father was shot and killed in beirut when he was teaching overseas so I understand why steve kerr is devastated over recent gun violence.
@@eloisabautista2432 They literally said it in this video
@@Hcfzx And they still not getting the msgs
@@eloisabautista2432 there's no such thing as gun violence
For those who don't know by now, Steve Kerr's father Malcolm was murdered by gunmen in Beirut Lebanon in 1984 while serving as a professor at American University. So this topic is not 'put on' for him in the slightest. 18 children. I am a teacher. My students got a tighter hug than usual from me at dismissal. What world are we setting them up for?
As a teacher, would you feel better if you had access to training and the tools necessary to defend your students?
Agree, we should homeschool & eliminate public schools. Statistically no greater threat of violence for a child than at public school.
@@cyberft As a teacher, I never want to have to kill another person. Even if it’s in defense, even if I’d be considered a “hero,” I still don’t want to kill a person.
You Americans have to turn in all your guns.. its that simple and fyck your 2nd amendment.. a Canadian is telling you this.
It's not a teachers job to tote guns and defend children from psychopaths. Problem stems from home life, loss of faith in the country as well as ignoring or not identifying mental illness. I'm not a Bible thumper, or too religious but what I do agree about catholicism is the belief in family and community. The farther we get away from being "In God We Trust" the more and more this will happen. If they take away our guns, they will have knives and cars.
Goosebumps.. When he yelled.. When are we gonna do something.. More people in texas need to speak like this.
He did the opposite 2 years ago when he protested and had armed officers removed from schools in Oakland. He’s a clown.

@@edugomez3c I’m a clown for starting a fact that in June 2020 he protested to have armed officers removed from schools in Oakland, thus making them an easier target if said situation would have happened again? Okay, nice logic Eduardo.
You want Texans to yell like a braindead leftist? Maybe they'll consider it when the NBA speaks out against China rather than handpicked topics like supporting BLM which was a bunch of nonsense, and taking away our guns so their Chinese masters can have an easier time taking us over
People in Texas don’t feel like him. They think they’re super man and more guns will solve the problem.
Chuck has some knucklehead takes on the nba sometimes but watching this makes me remember how smart and well spoken he is. Much love Chuck. Well said. We are all heartbroken.
No more time for sad. It's time for america to get together and get mad.
Beyond heartbreaking man….lives lost, bring tears and heartache.
Outside of playing elite level sports, I also coach young kids, and losing them is like losing a piece of yourself.
Praying for the community, parents, families, the school, everyone!
america didnt do anything when sandy hooks happen. still not going to do anything after this one. takes too much cooperation. god bless to everyone effected.
Praying does what exactly? Go for it but nothing will change. Everyday my kids go to school there’s a chance they dont come home.
Especially not in Texas. They’ll say mass shooting? Proof we need more guns!
@@hockey1freak remember they kicked praying out of school in the 90s when that was the greatest threat to kids, forcing it down their throats. So you ask praying does what? Nothing. Because you kicked it out of schools.
There is no taking of guns in a free and open society. We need more teachers to carry guns so they can prevent mass shootings.
I broke down in tears at the thought of the mothers and fathers who lost their precious children today. 🥺 My thoughts, prayers and condolences to families and the community of the children and the teacher. ✝️❤️🙏🏻🕊
it really is sad, the day before those little kids came home happy to a warm meal and play video games and just like that, life changed forever for those families it really hits home if you have little ones
I Did Too 💯 💯
I cried so hard thinking of those poor innocent children, the teacher and the grandmother, the gut wrenching pain for their family and loved ones to endure and for all those who have already been traumatized by their own experiences my heart is aching for you all and I’ll not end this day without all of you on my mind. God help end this awful disease of gun violence our country has seemed to be unable to get a handle on! I’ll be thinking some mighty hard thoughts on those who have the power (politicians and lobbyists you know who you are!) you bear much if this guilt for washing your hands of the lack of heart and spirit to do the right thing!! May you, at the end of your life, have a hard check at the Gates of Heaven to atone for your choices!! Background checks! Ban ghost gun availability! Very strict high capacity gun and assault rifle background checks (like letters from professionals who know you ie doctors, teachers, bosses) to vouch for your stability, and very hard checks for ammunition!!! May those sweet, sweet, dear little children not die in vain like so many have done, how many people must be sacrificed for some crazy idealistic out grown mutations of 250 years ago when some protection/food providing had to be maintained. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thank you, NBA for talking about this tragedy. I live in a big city in Texas, but I'm not so far from small towns like Marble Falls and Llano. Towns like that are a big part of how I grew up as a kid, visiting my grandparents.
My heart breaks for Uvalde. My brother died when he was just a baby, and I saw what that did to my parents. That kind of tragedy changes people; they became their worst selves and never quite righted themselves. If you haven't experienced it, you can't imagine.

Thank you Kenny! Not every evil act is a result of mental health issues. Some acts are simply evil. And yes I believe that mental Illness needs to be addressed as well. All of these guys spoke nothing but facts!
🤔What happened to keep politics out of sports? 🤷♂️
Nobody survives and who care sports all children die who will play sport or watching sports
I can’t imagine doing such acts to be “sane” but I suppose being delusional isn’t a mental illness
Except it takes a mental illness to be able to kill a person out of anything but necessity let alone a group of people, evil doesn’t mean anything it’s just a word. Sure I do think evil people by the loose definition exist but that’s just life and unfortunately there will always be murderers and people who commit violent crimes. When you get into mass killings it always stems from one of two things which are mental illness or an extremist in a religion, or both at the same time
??? People that are “evil” pretty much have serious “mental health” issues!
I'm crying. As a man that's also so tired of seeing and hearing about these tragedies. I'm not numb. I'm sick of this.

Why doesn’t the media show the same support for family who’s member was executed by c*ps? Someone is m*rdered daily by police officers and no one wants to disarm them, it seems a bit hypocritical if you ask me. Could these alleged “shootings” be a theatrical production used by the real criminals (g*v*rnm*nt) to manipulate and deceive the people into requesting guns be taken out of the hands of law abiding men and women? Many of the people who want guns out of the hands of Americans claim to be Christian and love the Constitution but don’t realize they hate freedom, Jesus, and the Constitution whom they claim to love.
“A double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.”
These same people are Communist, that hate our Republic (the people are in control) and love Democracy (mob ruled). These same people are not capable of governing themselves and they need their daddy (g*v*rnm*nt) to tell them what to do.

@Mary Beth I agree w this message on so many levels.. something has to give. Something has to change. Political figures NEED to stand for something and make a change. Once is not ok…but ok one time. Not 4x in 1 month. There has been over 200 “mass shootings” just in 2022 alone. Mass shootings meaning more than 2 ppl dead for no reason. Over 200. Let that sink in. Something needs to change. Many may not agree, but 75 year olds murdered is NEVER ok…but they lived a long life. Not 10 year old CHILDREN. This makes me so mad and sad. My prayers go out to their families. You can’t bring back life. You can attempt to help if yourself if you’re mentally disabled. Get help!!! Don’t harm others.
I just can't imagine the pain and suffering the parents of those kids are going through. Imagine, its just a "normal" day or an ordinary one. You drop you kid at school, say whatever you say to him or her. That they have a good day, etc.
And then, you find out that your son/daughter was killed in a mass shooting. Thats something you may well never recover from.

I've been up all night. As a mother of a son that is the same age as most of those children, my heart was so heavy for those parents. THIS MUST STOP. Innocent scared children died unnecessarily. They were there to learn and make friends not for hate .
My condolences and prayers to the families, students and teachers who all have to live with this horrific memory.
My heart goes out to all the families
How do you suggest to get this to stop? There have been murderous people throughout history. You could take away all guns and people will blow each other up with bombs or stab each other. It is human nature to be destructive.
My son is the same age too. It's terrifying to think "well I hope my son is never put in this situation, that he survives elementary school"
Does your son have a dad in his life?
@@humanbeing-001 probably not look at her name "chitown"
Steve Kerr’s father was a teacher that was shot and killed so I’m sure this hits him different, glad Kenny brought up mental health.
His dad was a dumb liberal idealist that thought he could go to Beirut and change those people... You see how that worked out for him lol
America doesn't give a damn about mental health. It just gets swept under the rug. It's beyond embarrassing.
I did not know that. He’s a good guy
Ok bro don’t you see the other 10 ppl that commented the same thing
@@ninodrip7298 its something called spreading awareness for his reaction you should’ve been in the shooting instead of those kids bruh
Thank you for covering this topic under the circumstances. You guys were professional about this. My hearts go out to those families
I don’t feel good enough to move forward. It hurts to know this happens I’m very sorry these families went through this I hope this ongoing problem finally gets solved.
It's not going to get solved until we get together and stand up.
I've always respected Steve Kerr as a player and a coach, but I respect him a hell of a lot more for being a good human being (let alone Shaq, Ernie, Chuck, and Kenny)
He’s a fraud, on June 2020 he joined students to protest and remove armed officers from Oakland schools.
Steve was shouting a false conclusion. Protecting the second ammendment doesn't make anyone guilty of "holding power". look up hr 127 these democrats wanted to pass. Total complete infringments on law abiding citizens.
The same Steve Kerr that had nothing to say about Hong Kong oppressing its citizens when the NBA was in town, but takes the safe political stance because he know's it'll put him on a pedestal ? Lets be real here, Steve Kerr, like 99% of the NBA, takes safe political stances that won't hurt their wallets or reputation among their peers. They're actually pussies in real life.
Good humans and responsible gun overs save on average 3m lives a year. No law put in place would have prevented this from happened. The kid had no background and wasn't on a watch list. The problem with gun violence are guns purchased illegally from across the border that you probably want left open.
Is he a good human though? Do you really know him or what little bullshit act he puts on for the camera.
No one needs to know a back story to have feelings. This hurts to the core for a lot of people in many different ways.
yes, i think people took to social media and slam the man because showed emotion on live TV.
@@timafiggy It's cause Kurr has no idea what he is talking about. That background he was talking about is BS. Gun stores already do background check by law.
Charles went 7 minutes and 40 seconds without saying a word. Shows how respectful he and all of them are to not talk over each other when discussing such a tragedy as the Uvalde, Texas Robb Elementary School shooting. My condolences to the 19 children and 2 teachers, and the parents/friends/relatives to all of them. Such a tragic event, people want to say how that they were mostly Latino that were killed or something and that since they were that their lives don't matter as much. I'm here to say that I don't believe that at all. Every life matters, black lives matter, all people are equal and it hurts to see news events like this. Things. Must. Change. And soon, not later.
May 27th, 2022, 9:35AM, Friday.
Apparently if you're a person of color then you are never safe in this nation. This country will never be made for people of color. This country will never favor or accommodate people of color. People who are white are always safe and always in better hands in this country than any other race. It's sad. This comment isn't hate against white people. Facts are facts. Lies are lies. It's tiring that we keep saying things must change but things won't ever really change. In the constitution, it says for the people, by the people...where is there examples of that? There's 50 senators who could inflict change but they won't.
All schools must have Armed guards/law enforcement. Let's start there.
I'm with Chuck. Everybody at every level has some responsibility. Our society has something really serious to worry about. The responsibility is not political or social... it is MORAL.
There's evil and mentally unstable people everywhere but they don't have unlimited access to guns like we do.
CORRECT!
We need moral change. This is not political and the solution is NOT to take away our most cherished and important rights!!!
@@igit_7296 dude he vehemently disagrees lol, I can tell he's saying morally guns are the problem and your saying I agree but let's keep the guns. Just an interesting read sorry had to say something. I don't even own a gun but I agree with you, this is unfortunately the sins of our leaders over generations thats lead us here and taking away more rights isn't what I believe is moral
@@mypud4068 I though he was agreeing with me.
There are many, many advanced countries that have a very high amount of guns per capita (like Finland and Canada) and none of them have the issues we have - and that’s because America’s morals are juvenile.
It’s not about the guns. If only it was that easy. The problem is Americans.
No HE made it political
Wish everyone can speak and share what most of us feel! Thank you for speaking our heart Coach Steve! You are our family's HERO!
I would add an American hero.
Lol. Ask Kerr about Hong Kong
Hahahahaha Steve a hero you mean a joke, it was an act. He is either a complete idiot or purposely miss leading you about the law. There are already back ground checks. He has a political agenda he is pushing.
nah, acting to push a weak political agenda. were you at that school that day, do you really know what happened, if it even happened, do you just believe everything you hear on the "news"...????
probably another false flag to push a political position & narrative. this sh*t is so obvious, smh.
@@Jeffrey_DeBlaay...888 to me it seems like an act, because if someone has true emotions like he tried to show you don't just turn it off and on like he did. He also supports and walked with black live don't really matter, he is also anti 2nd amendment. He is a huge liberal and liberals are doing anything they can think of to get ride of the 2nd amendment. It would not surprise me at all if George S. was behind all of this.
The first responders that had to see that and all those involved on scene is life altering also and hope they are given every resource possible to help deal with it. Ty to all of you and everything you do.
I was a firefighter for around 10 years, and thank God I never had anything like this to respond to! As a father, my heart goes to those families
It’s not life altering
@@jrfirefiher of course it's not. In America it's normal to see kids shot dead in school... I'm guessing you get numb after the 200th shooting in one year...
So true
@@jrfirefiher seeing 15 sudden dead bodies would probably change most people
What Shaq said was what I was thinking about and also one of my fears of why this will never end: the underground market. Even if they ban assault weapons, criminals always find a way to do criminal activity. Making something illegal isn't going to stop bad people from doing illegal things
That maybe true! But they are making it easier to get weapons, not hard! Because they are in gun lobbyist pocket! Which they are big part of the problem. You said that now sir! But what would you say if your kid was killed in school like that! You see when it hits home then you want to change things When it's your family and the politicians family they you wanted to change things.
You say that but weirdly enough places with stricter gun control or no guns at all don't have even a fraction of these tragic events happening. Like in Uvalde it was a 18 year old kid, you think this shithead is 'deeply connected to the criminal underground and black market' ? Ofc not. It's stupid. The whole 'criminals will still find a way is a weak excuse to not act.
This is why the Thompson submachine gun continues to be the weapon of choice for robberies and violent crimes.
Oh wait no we cracked down on automatic weapons and they are incredibly difficult (not impossible) to get and use. Gun regulations work. Don't let perfection get in the way of progress.
Kerrs comments were really heart felt. When the water was leaking everyone was laughing and joking and kerr was still there looking pissed. Need more people like that.

@@CesarPerez-it8xy just Keep loving and cherishing them. Your next moment is never a given.
So you should never stop crying then.. cuz in the last 10 days there has been over 25 mass shootings here in the states..
I always think after this kind of shooting ("funnily" in schools), when's the next one going to come from ?
All you see on the news (and it's been going on for decades) is destruction, wars, mass killings and the like.
With covid and the aftermath of it, these shootings will just escalate.
The US is a violent country. When the US government doesn't like someone like Kadhafi or Saddam Hussein they kill him, killing hundreds of thousands in the process. Sorry, violence is in the US 's gènes. Funnily enough, the only american president who didn't start one for decades was Trump...
Biden hasn't declared a war ? Yes he has, with Russia. What do you call what he's doing ? I'd be Poutine I'd be kicking my a** for not sending as much weaponry to Iraq in 2003 as to help kill as many american soldiers as possible which is Bidens rhetoric (kill as many russian soldiers as possible).
Blah blah blah!! Cry me a river. Listening to a BB coach talk about gun control and boo hoo all over. He's clueless but hey, he has the microphone not us. Utter bullshit. I can solve this problem over night by not blaming the gun.
Was I bit upset about how the Warriors performed, but having watched Steve's "pre-game" interview after the game, losing a basketball game all of the sudden became trivial. There are more important things in life, and I admire Steve Kerr for speaking out.
He wasnt into the game bro.

As a father of 2 middle school children, I am sick and tired of our lawmakers’ thought and prayers. We don’t want your prayers and condolences !!! We want you to fix this problem!!
You can’t legislate hearts. Evil will always find a way to hurt the innocent. Look at Russia 🇷🇺 I feel horrible for those people but I don’t want my guns took away i need to defend myself. First time you are in a life and death situation without one you will realize how much you wish you had one! We live so far out in the country we ain’t got time to wait on the Law to show up! What ever it is will be over by the time they show up. Crack head kicking your door down which has happened to us you want a weapon to fight back! In our case they heard the 12 gauge slug hit the chamber and fled for their lives. Cops picked them up on the interstate one was an adult other was 17 year old. Cops never did show up till the next day. So had we not had a gun we would probably be dead now. Or robbed at best.
That's our problem. We don't need to look to lawmakers or government to fix our problems. Government has proven over and over that they can't fix anything. God could fix everything and our prayers not be in vain but we've expelled Him from our nation and now think that immoral politicians can save us. Smh.
We have a violent society because of the fact we kicked God out of our schools and every other facet of public life in America. You don't want God to be involved yet you expect immoral, greedy, corrupt politicians to fix a MORAL problem. How does that even make sense?
What is your solution? You even interested in hardening schools or you just chasing the pipe dreams of banning guns from the world?
Yes! Get rid of the semi-automatic weapons. What else do you do with one of those weapons? It’s not for hunting.
Rip to those innocent souls.. I live in buffalo and I’m from here, last week the Tragedy that the terrorist did in our city is so close to home I feel for the families going through this crisis in Texas.. prayers to all affected and prayers to the ones fallen. We need CHANGE!!!
Praying for Uvalde, Texas and USA from the UK. Makes me grateful to live here where we haven’t had a school shooting since the 90s. RIP to the victims and thought with their families and everyone affected.
Thanks Steve Kurr....I needed to hear and see this understanding and care from someone of another race.. it helps stop hate fueled by hurt and disappointment.
Kenny is 100% right when he said there is no logic in demonic actions.
There is no such thing as demonic actions though. We have people in this country who are mentally unwell and they have the ability to get weapons that are designed to hurt or kill many people in a very short amount of time. We need to remove the ability for people like this to get those weapons and we need to get those people help. These are not hard things to do in a just society but we live in a very selfish and stupid society that will never make a sacrifice.

We live in extremely scary times. Kenny nailed it with his take. You cannot stop crazy from being crazy unless the mental health programs in this country are properly funded. Help those that NEED help the most!!!! Do not ignore mental health issues.
I totally agree. I didn't like Kenny's use of "demonic" because that introduces some sort of fantastical element to all of this where there is none. There are people with mental issues in this country whether that stems from a actual chemical imbalance or a hopeless outlook on life due to a lack of upward mobility. These things can be taken care of but the voters in this country would rather vote for anti-abortion stances, tax cuts, or even anti-gun reform positions. Its horredous to say but a lot of the voting public is responsible for these crimes.

Well the first step is take guns away (may take 10 years or more, but the process must be started), Guns only server the purpose of Killing people
We really don't though, right now humans have never been safer as a species. Im not saying we don't have any issues of course but I think the knee jerk reaction is gun control (which I just don't know how that would go down in the U.S) but the reality is society is getting sicker because of the mounting pressure to get a well paying job yet what it costs to rent and buy is a joke, its not feasible for young people anymore to purchase homes. That's a whole different issue but I truly think mental illness treatment is the answer. It's like the war on drugs, never was effective and still isn't and trillions of dollars pissed away....because the answer isn't removing drugs from the streets it's making treatment easy to get and especially with mental illness. It's not like it's never been figured out there's alot of countries with way better drug laws that don't criminalize its citizens
It hurts so much every time I see something like this, especially when it happens to little kids. Praying for all of the families 🙏 impacted by this horror. My condolences to the parents.
I'm from Houston. My dad is a Hard man. Tough worker and hard as nails old school truck driver and I've never seen him cry... When he got home he was holding back tears asking my mom if she heard about what happened in Uvalde. He then called my little sister and he gave her the longest hug I've ever seen him give her.
These were little kids man. last day of school down here in Houston. This is tough to stomach man, just thinking and looking at the grief the parents are going through rn knots up my stomach so bad I haven't eaten all day.
R.I.P Little ones and the adults who lost their lives too.
For real, I was confused because I'm Australian, I thought I misheard but it really was the last day of school ? Bro.... 🥺
😡 That is so evil, I know in reality it doesn't make it worse, but in my mind it does, it really does,
Does "everyone" even go to school on the last day ? Meaning I was the lazy kid so sometimes I'd stay home on that day and not go ? You know ?
Imagine how much guilt you as a parent would feel if you let your kid stay home that day ? How would you even be able to move around the community ? and continue living your life ? Your unintentionally, reminding the victims parents of it, everytime they see your family out in public, and you didn't know or ask for any of this !? ...
What about the kid ? I'm already messed up, imagine if I had to carry the guilt of staying home while my friends were murdered !? Children ? And you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life, it's not your fault, but it wouldn't feel like it, I don't think you'd ever truly be able to let it go
Bro this stuff goes deep, I'm praying for that community man, really I am 🙏
Same here, This hit me hard

@@truthwooph4083 In Houston it was the last day of school. In that Uvalde Elementary they had 2 days left of school and that same morning of the shooting there had been ceremonies. Ceremonies like honor roll and things like that where the parents go to the school and watch and take pictures of their kids. Imagine, as a parent, going to the school ceremonies to take a picture of your child holding up an AB Honor Roll certificate and later that same day realizing you'll never see your kid again. That is a chilling thought and I still haven't stopped thinking about it.
You're absolutely right "there's no logic to a demand mind" PERIOD.
**** Demonic mind
So tired of being sick and tired. When you have little kids this really hits home!
Texas NRA convention and Texas School Shooting on the same week. coincidence? i think not.
My heart is broken to hear of all this senseless loss of lives. Children, beautiful, talented, wise, loving. To the parents my heart, prayer’s, and laments. May God comfort them and surround them with HIS love…
Very strong, powerful and passionate speech by Kerr. May their souls REST IN PEACE🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
😭😭 so sad I’m
I’m tears watching this sending my love and prairs from Sydney Australia 🙏🙏🙏
I feel you Coach it must be devastating especially knowing how his father was killed 😓😥
Steve Kerr is amazing. Think about the fact that these were children. They had high school to look forward to. They had sports, their first dance, learning how to drive, they’re first job, so much of life they won’t get to live!!!! That’s not fair! They didn’t deserve this. They deserve more than a moment of silence and a headline. If nothing changes after this then you know the American government doesn’t care about your or your children.
It's already illegal to bring a gun onto school property. As you see the mentally ill and criminals don't follow the law.
Also the missed out on paying taxes and get fucked by the government wait actually the already did get fucked by the government 🤣🤣
@George don’t worry bro I gotcha gimme his adresses he will be found dead in his home 9:25 am in the morning
@@boundlessdeity7972 The police beat you to it. How can a teenager be so devoid of anything to commit these kinds of things...
😕😕😕
I love the fact that Steve Kerr cares so much love that guy💯
Fake crocodile tears this guy doesn't care about the poor in this country!!
His own father was murdered due to a shooting so he had alot to say
he cares but unfortunately he's only thinking 1 extra step. He needs to be thinking at least 2 or 3. He's not smarter than the people who wrote the constitution even he thinks he is :)
There shouldn’t have been no game how can you coach after that devastating news
Steve Kerr is a Super Hero! He almost walked away half way through the interview. He stopped and talked the truth for another minute. Got his point across!
Ive gained so much respect for coach Kerr, it took guts to call out our government, he's 100 percent right to do so, the senate has no backbone
Steve was wrong, laws are not going to change anything because criminals don't follow laws just like stricter vehicle laws won't stop a person from drinking and driving and killing people. Steve Kerr is in California where they have strict gun laws but look at what's happening in the streets in California daily. The one person that made sense on this panel was Shaquille O'Neal because he hit it right on the head when he said don't wait for 1 incident to happen to focus on that one because there are other incidents that are just as important that get ignored like the ones in Chicago and in New York where African-Americans are gunning people down by the hundreds.
They are all tragic
How did that take guts? He made up some random percentage, and said illogical nonsense
@@davidb5399 well, wait until one day one of your family members gets shot, then you will different perspective!
Oh believe me, the Senate would LOVE to take away Americans’ guns.
@Jesse Smith That horse paste has impacted your brain.
Deepest condolences to the grieving families and the Uvalde community. We're right here with you.
🙏🏾🥺
@@michaelweatherspoon8197 you guys are missing the point of what Kerr said lol! Pray hands and saying condolences don’t do anything, you need real action.
@@usware5240 what do you mean by “you guys?” What are you going to do sir ? I understand. I come from a poverty-stricken community where murders happen on a regular basis, which I do not condone at all. Subsequently, I am not in politics; however, I have helped a mass amount of people in my community attain employment and mentored them on their educational goals, and you sir ? What are you going to do ?
@@muhsinesse177 what does your comment mean ?
@@usware5240 what action? Take guns? That won’t work. How about instead of spending money on stupid counties or pet projects they put metal detectors in every school in America. Or put security and metal detectors in every s hook in America. 40 billion goes a long way to doing that instead of giving it to Ukraine.
i cried like a baby. my heart is broken
lol did you really cry like a baby?🤡
I live in San Antonio and rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives.💕🕊️
Sad just sad 😞!!! Rest In Peace to those young children and teachers who lost their lives!!! This is really sickening
As much as I wanted to root for my Mavs….I just kept thinking of my 👶 kiddos….and realized that the reality is beyond one’s imagination…now one can’t even send their kids to school to learn ….Sadness runs deep
