“Somewhere out there, this is a mom listening to our testimony thinking ‘I can’t even imagine their pain.’ not knowing that our reality, will one day be her reality. Unless we act now.” CHILLS.
My heart and prayers go out to these parents. It's so sad that this has to happen to those 19 Children, and 2:teachers. They need to stop the gun violence in this world.
@WTF they've had WEEKS to cry. Most people are " all cried- out, by the time they even go to a funeral, and don't cry until later from memories. You sound weird as hell, " thinking that people should cry we WHEN YOU DETERMINE IS TUNE FOR THEM TO CRY. "
You can hear how broken her heart is.....and the father, he has this haunted look....lost, almost numb. I can not even begin to imagine the grief these two are experiencing....all of the parents who lost a child and children who lost parents.
Yes I hope they are surrended by loved ones at this time. Dads face has this look I know too well. I mean they both are beyond hurting but just dads face.. Broken. This is awful. I feel heart broken for them. Much peace be with u as well.
the second i looked to her father i started to cry. i’ve seen that face before on my own dad after my sister died. he is holding in everything he can to not lose it all right there and breakdown. i hope they get peace and justice for lexi she was so beautiful and had so much ahead of her.
If anything he should be ashamed of himself, how he lives going forward will beyond me. Have you seen the video? He just stands there in the corner of the hallway, hiding behind a wall (Keep in mind he is all geared up) during a good ordeal while his daughter is most probably already bleeding to death. Can't see how this moms story adds up either.
@@fitnessbabe7958 That dad was one of the cops in the hallway that wasn't doing anything to get involved in rescue, he was armed with a rifle and bullet proof vest.
He is an Iraq veteran who sacrificed his life for the US and now have to lose his daughter let alone in this horrific manner because of the US laws, this is a disgrace.
Veterans who went and murdered children in Iraq, abused children in Iraq, and committed all sorts of war crimes there? I don’t care for his military background, kinda ironic to bring it up.
@@Sara-gl5dc veterans whom were not necessarily aware that they would be committing “war crimes”, abusing/killing kids. Most 18yr olds are sold the “job security, good pay, housing, college assistance, housing assistance, benefits & etc” story. Then once they’re in-unless they rather go to a military prison, they comply until their contract ends-then exit. Thus making them a young vets, such as this man 😐. And in addition, the military also protects us as well. Do you think the US, should NOT have a military? Surely you know better than that…then again maybe now, as you insulted this solider mourning from losing his CHILD due to some wacko. I hope you and your family stay safe…
@@childishgambino4845 as someone who sees the U.S. imperialism that has destroyed Asia, and North Africa, no, I don’t support the U.S. military. My freedom isn’t being protected by killing children in schools in other countries. And I’m speaking of those who knowingly commit war crimes. I’m aware the U.S. preys on recruiting poor young kids to go “serve.” This rant really has nothing to do with the tragedies that keep happening here, I just find it ironic to bring up being an Iraq veteran. No insults being dished out here either.
My therapist keeps telling me I need to stop watching this stuff but I can't. These victims can't just turn it off. This is now a nightmare they can never wake up from. These families deserve to be heard. Every word.
I don’t go to therapy but watching is destroying my mental health. I feel the same way though. They can’t just turn it off and they want people to hear thrm
I am with you. I actually live in Europe (moved here from Texas) and I'm watching this with the utmost horror and revulsion. I hate all this and I am mortified watching this from a country where mass shootings are exceedingly rare. How do you explain to Europeans when they ask us Americans why this keeps happening? The world is watching the US and shaking their heads, wondering why we cannot seem to be able to do anything to stop the insanity.
As a mom and a mass shooting survivor I cannot put into words what seeing and experiencing this feels like. We needed a change to happen years ago but now more than ever she is absolutely right when she said “out there is a mom watching this not knowing this will one day be her” remember we are all somebody else to someone else. No person, parent, spouse, and most importantly child should ever have to go through something like this.
So true. And yet all we keep hearing is stuff about banning this weapon or that- no addressing of school safety, no policies and training for school defense, no attention to the societal and cultural issues that cause these evil and/or whacked out perpetrators to act in the first place. The pundits and politicians have an agenda, and they take advantage of tragedies like this to promote their cause. If they really cared, they’d be willing to enact and participate in the cultural changes necessary to curb and eventually eliminate in a generation the brokenness that is creating these monsters that commit violent atrocities against children, families, and celebrating crowds. Innocents that become victims of heinous crimes carried out by evil individuals- usually very young men- in our society deserve more than bandwagon lip service to make more laws or ban guns. The victims deserve justice and their families deserve safe communities. Banning firearms or certain magazines doesn’t remove the perpetrator risk- it merely insures that innocent law abiding citizens bear an inability to pursue their recreational pursuits if they are shooting sports enthusiasts. Until deal with the cause, gun ban or no gun ban we’ll continue creating evil perpetrators who will continue killing innocents. Never mind the blatant and abject dereliction of duty by law enforcement that day, and totally irresponsible handling of the crises. It’s almost looking like they wanted this to happen. And banning AR15s will fix all that they say.
I went to a concert in Germany today and people brought a uvalde sign which was placed on stage by the artist. The whole world cares about you and everybody experiencing this senseless tragedy. The best I can do is donating money but I really really hope laws will change over there for you so that no more kids have to die like this. Sending love and hope for actual change.
Let the Lord be with these parents.Its very hurtful too think this happened too their children. It's awful sad and heartbreaking that someone evil choose to harm their kids. Their has too be a Change for Protection of more armed guards in these schools in our country!
I just hope they don’t hate the teacher he almost died hoping he could protect the kids and even he is really upset over it because it was 11 of his students and he talked about it and how he felt about it
“Not knowing our reality will one day be her’s.” Wow, wow, wow. Goosebumps all over my body, chills sent through my spirit. I’ve always believed one of the most powerful things you can do is make another human understand your pain and that line alone just made my heart break. God rest all of the beautiful souls lost and God bless all the families left behind.💔
The body chills ….Absolutely I am sobbing I can’t take this :( I just lost my own oldest brother to unexpected gun violence and I still am in shock.. and healing this is so disheartening to say the least
@@MrSwitchblade327 Rash decisions? How many decades of children being shot and killed in their classrooms before you feel enough time has past to make a decision?
When I turned on the TV and the news was showing this horrible event happening Lexi's parents were the first people I saw. They looked desperate like they had been running all over trying to find out about their child. I remembered seeing the father wearing a sheriff's uniform and crying and his wife sitting next to him crying it was then I knew this was going to be bad. Watching them today I see the anguish, hurt and loss of their child on their faces and I can't stop crying myself. To Lexi's mom don't blame yourself for leaving your child at school I will not forget you and your husband in my prayers.
I'm in my thirties and even to this day I start to panic a little if I can't find my mom in a grocery store after 5-10 minutes. I cannot imagine the gut-wrenching absolute terror and heartbreak of searching all day long for your daughter or loved one, only to find out they'd been senselessly murdered like this. Change is so, so beyond overdue.
Just curious what your meaning of "change" is? I see a lot people saying they want change but very few are specific about what they want. I hope you don't think my question is rude, I just really want to see what people think.
@@IceLynne I can try and help you understand when people things happen like this and it is possible to keep it from happening most people in this world care more about what’s benefitting them but like this mother who lost her child she knows there is a problem which is guns guns the power people have with them when they use them to not protect themselves but only to hurt others now I personally believe this world is way too far gone worse things happen every day kids babies animals families everything is dying around us most people just don’t have that perspective so the choose not to look at it because it’s hard That’s my explanation you have a Blessed day
@@IceLynne in other countries where they reduced the number of guns, they reduced their gun violence. It is really that simple. A majority of Americans support common sense gun reform. It’s time to vote out those who go against the will of the people. The right to own an assault style weapon before you can rent a car or buy booze seems absurd but the NRA cares more about gun rights than protecting people.
“Somewhere out there, there is a mom listening to our testimony thinking ‘I can’t imagine their pain.’ Not knowing that our reality, will one day be her reality. Unless we act now” Having two daughters and hearing that sentence tore me to pieces. Knowing they’ll be going to school one day. I don’t want to face what they are going through, I don’t want to lose my babies. I’m so scared and I can’t stop crying.
Been crying every day since this happened and I thank the stars above that I decided to pull my children out of school two years ago when I was terrified after hearing threats at our school that there was an active shooter all of it was just rumors but it made me open my eyes that my children are not safe in public school. I pray for your babies and all the children that have no other choice but to go to public school.
Unfortunately it’s not just children at school that are vulnerable to gun violence. We are all vulnerable when we worship at church, shopping at the grocery store, enjoying a concert, in the movie theater, etc. No one is safe from gun violence…we must demand gun reform from leaders. Also, we must make mental health care accessible to all.
@@aliciaramon6473 you are so correct about that. However one is more precise and can yield more immediate results where mental health is not an exact science and there are so many degrees of mental Illness. Impulsiveness is not a crime. Impulsiveness with an AR-15 however is.
To know they were there just a half an hour before this happened is even more heart breaking. I cannot imagine their heart break. I know she said that but I really can't. My heart truly aches for her and the rest of her family.
Oh my God Mom, you did absolutely nothing wrong. You all were having a “normal” day, NEVER expecting this demonic coward to change your lives forever. This hurts me to my soul. I’m SO sorry this happened to your family as well as the other families. They didn’t deserve this at all. May Lexi, her classmates & teachers rest in peace… 🥀💔😔❤️🩹🤍🕊
exactly right now all she could think about is what she COULD have done better, but truth of the matter is they didn’t know a satanic monster would invade their school sadly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. :( Such bright souls.
@@allahlovesyou7241 really, that’s what you have to say? Love that you make the assumption that he was killing children. God forbid the same happens to your child one day, and someone will console you by saying kids die everyday … smh
being a high schooler, it has always been a fear of mine that this would one day happen. we have had 2 instances this year of guns being brought on to campus with the intention of harm this year. thank you for advocating and thank you for making this world a better place. i am so sorry about your daughter.
When I was in school and hs all we ever did were earthquake and fire drills. It’s awful you have to have this fear at school. I’m sorry, we’re obviously doing something wrong if this is what our future generations and babies are scared of and at all places your school?! Yeah, def not cool. I hope we can really make a change ☮️💟 Don’t let your heart be troubled 🤍🕊
i’m a college student now but the scariest moment of my life was when in high school, we got a shooter threat. i was at lunch, practicing a dance with other students… our assistant principal suddenly ran to us ans told us to run as fast and as far as we could. i’ll never forget the absolute horror in my veins when we ran out of the school. i ran and was terrified that the shooter was behind us and would follow us, we had no idea where they were. somebody was arrested for making the threat-they never showed up, it was a “prank.” and it was one of the cruelest “pranks” that one could ever do. for the rest of that year at school i was terrified to go anywhere, the bathroom, different classrooms, etc. i was always prepared to run. i’ll never forget it and i’ll always hurt for those who were lost in this country from gun violence.
omg same. literally last week somebody brought a knife. the police won’t even break up a fight from two GIRLS imagine if their was a gun man. worse part is i’m in TEXAS too!
I can’t stop crying! I don’t have the words! My daughter is the same age ! She also wants to become a mathematician and a lawyer!! Her words and her explanation of what happened that day took me into a glimpse of what she must of felt that day and It shattered me! I wouldn’t be able to live after that ! I would completely raise hell, especially if I lose my only daughter to gun violence at school ! I stand with this woman! I do not want to EVER be in her shoes !!! No other mother should ever go through this!
@@love444noia, I've unfortunately been in that position before. Some people just don't understand. Thankfully there are more kind hearted people than not in this world!!!
@Irma Gherdimagine thinking all humans and their trauma responses are the same🤦🏾♀️ thats the beauty of the brain “sweetheart”, they all dont work exactly the same.
What a strong woman, MOTHER, wife to be able to have that voice for her baby girl & her family & all the victims families & every mother and family that fears this tragedy! They are all in my heart and prayers. It breaks my heart to watch and hear all of this but I will continue to watch & share and speak of them because that it was they deserve & that is what the parents want, they want change. And justice. I am with you all. May God continue to hold you all and give you strength & the words and whatever else it may be that you need to continue this life after such a great loss of your precious baby girl. 🤍 🕊
"somewhere out there, there's a mom listening to our testimony thinking 'I can't even imagine their pain, not knowing that our reality will one day be hers...unless we act now." - A terrible and true prediction...
Until the target changes from guns to mental health you can forget about that ever happening. The same old tried and failed tactics don't work. You can't limit the 2nd amendment but you can limit the spill over of nutjobs getting the guns. We must have free mental health evaluations, period
ACT NOW BY ABOLISH THIS U.S CORPORATION THAT KILLED THOSE CHILDERN BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DISARM THE PEOPLE SO THEY CAN FULLY INVADE OUR NATION! 2 SHOOTERS WERE SEEN! COPS ARE USELESS AND ALWAYS TOO LATE! REMINDER THIS HAPPENED IN A GUN-FREE-ZONE!!! BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY WANT IT!
May your daughter Rest In Peace and I can’t imagine what your going through but my prayers, heart, soul, and best of wishes go out to you and all those in the same situation.
If the parents of Lexi ever read this, please know that you are in the hearts of so many who heard your eloquent remarks but, more than that I will never forget who your Lexi was. You have shared her spirit with such kindness when I know it must have been so hard for you and Lexi's father. Bless both of you.
I don’t even have kids and I’m only 20 but this shooting really hurt me, with sandy hook I was too young to truly understand the love and life that comes from kids. These babies were innocent and free. It is really the saddest thing ever
That was an extremely powerful statement. Thank you for being so brave to come out and tell your story. What an absolute tragedy that no one deserves to endure. :(
I am so sorry for your loss. Lexi is an angel, she is fighting with you to change laws. I pray God wraps his arms around your family and comforts you with love and peace. I have no words to make your pain go away, other than my deepest condolences to your family. Fly high Lexi!
I’m a mom and my heart breaks for each and every one of these families. I cannot watch anything regarding Uvalde without crying. Even if you aren’t a parent, this can have an impact on you. God Bless all the grieving families and all of Uvalde 🙏🏼
I have two baby twin boys coming soon, they're due to be out on August and my wife and me couldn't be happier. Seeing this really breaks my heart and honestly If something like this ever happened to me I dont think I'd be able to handle it. I dont think theres anything worse in this world than losing a child. I'm so sorry Mr and Mrs Rubio.

I lost my son 5 years ago and have lost most his photos from the last few years of his life. My chest hurts, i ache so much for these parents. No one should outlive their child. Lexi should still be alive. This is so heart wrenching. I cannot understand the cowardice or, at minimum, complete incompetence of the police officers. I am also a teacher. I cannot fathom losing a whole class of my students and then waiting 77 minutes for help. These poor parents. The poor, surviving teacher, too.
I'm 39 I don't have kids but I do want kids. I just can't imagine just worrying about your kids while in school. This is so tragic and I pray for the families. I want to do all that I can to help, if I have to protest, write letters, let me know what I can do.
My heart aches for you.. for all the parents who's experienced the unfathomable event of having a child die. I lost a daughter to senseless gun violence and even 14yrs later am walking around with a gaping hole in my heart.... Sending healing thoughts and wish you all didn't have to feel that awful visceral heartache....
Man his situation must be very difficult! Now, he has to live with knowing he was just down the hall while his daughter and many others bled to death. And she has to sleep next to him also knowing that. Prayers for them and the rest of the families who are suffering due to the inaction of law enforcement officers.
The moment i saw them on the news i knew they had just lost their daughter. This speech hopefully settles on ears willing to listen. I could not stop crying through this whole speech.
I have 2 grown children and I cannot imagine the pain I'd feel losing either of them in this senseless way. May God comfort and strengthen your family. Keep her beautiful memories alive in your heart.
Who can listen to these parents, hear about this monumental loss and NOT give these parents the change they deserve??? Our children DESERVE to be safe, they deserve better
@@jen4um lets start by raising the age required to buy assault rifles. We decided it isn't okay for an 18 year old to buy alcohol or cigarettes yet somehow an assault rifle is okay? I also don't think we need high capacity magazines...not the general population...And I do think we should have back ground checks....but instead of asking ME, I think you should listen to these parents who have lost their entire world. Listen to the parents of the children who have been murdered by gun violence. Let them tell you what they'd change! Furthermore, I think the fact that we are the only country this is happening in time and time again speaks to the issue. Our children will grow up thinking these mass shootings are "normal". This isn't "normal" anywhere else in the world!
@@emilysusanvanvalkenberg5978 I never said it was normal. However, have you considered that the guns themselves are not the problem? We are living in a time unfortunately where good is considered evil and evil good. Just look around you. Nothing is normal. We are in the last days and time is getting short. If you have a Bible read Romans chapter 1. Don’t stop there. Read the gospel of John. I am not against stricter gun laws. However, there are those who’s main objective is to disarm the population entirely but the reason we have a second amendment is to protect the population from a rogue government. There is a group on a global scale which includes some in the US who would remove US sovereignty if they could get rid of our second amendment. When Americans can no longer defend themselves, we won’t have a country. Again, I am not opposed to some legislation but you have to be very careful because it’s a slippery slope.
I can’t even imagine the amount of sadness this family feels. I pray that their ‘asks’ are granted for them… and all of us parents with students in school. May God wrap them in LOVE! ❤️🙏
I have a son, who just turned 15 today... and the thought of him being taken from my life, from his life & world makes me cry so much I cried my heart out for you and the families that are stricken with your loss... 😢😭😭 💔 😔 🙏 I am so sorry that you and everyone must go through this horrific nightmare... my sincere condolences, you and the families are in my prays and heart ❤ 🙏 🙏 may God and loved ones be with you during this time as you figure out how to heal, cope and live
People without children can’t u derstand this pain. They can imagine what it would feel like but if you’re a parent, you understand the horrifying love you can have for your children. Horrifying because you can’t believe how much you can love something more than u love anything else. U would do anything for them. Anything
heartbreaking hearing this parents grief , very brave of her. NO parents should endure the loss a child especially in the way they lost there daughter. I can still feel there pain. we are with you Uvalde,Tx in this time of grief . ❤
I am that mom that cannot image your pain. Sorry. I am at a loss for words and tears mark my emotions while listening to your testimony. Everyone in Uvalde are in my prayers.
To say “I just can’t imagine” seems like a thoughtless thing to say to Parents who are grieving for the loss of their precious Daughter. What can we do to help stop these nightmares?
revolution is the only way. organizing with your local communities to take down politicians being paid off by gigantic, overly powerful corporations. nothing will change otherwise.
The mom saying, “right now there is a mom out there not able to imagine this and one day she will be the one” my daughters school has had 2 threats the last week, one found and one crime stopper reward for a lead to other. I talk to her about what to do and pray I get my last 2 through school without this happening. We have threats all the time but more recently. This is out of control! But all these threats come from current students in my daughters school, and there response is one sheriff on campus. I’m so scared, I’m sad that we practiced fire and earthquake drills and my kids are practicing to be shot at. I don’t even want to send them anymore. Tomorrow is the last day of school, praying both my kids come home and get to enjoy the summer, it’s sick that’s what I’m praying for when I leave my kids at school.
As a mom myself I had a knot in my throat while fighting back my tears! I cant’t even begin to comprehend their pain but what I can do is fight with them to make sure it doesn’t happen again!
I happened to go down the school shooting video rabbit hole in my recommended videos and I've been in tears for over an hour! I "am" that mom listening Hun!!! We can change for our kids! Blessings to your family
I can’t express my heartbreak for all of these families. Your family is so strong. I’m so proud of your strength and bravery. Sending you love and praying for change ❤️🩹
My heart is broken for this lovely couple, their children, family and friends. I can see their pain losing their beautiful, loving, smart daughter that had her whole life ahead of her. It unfathomable to see what they are going through. Please pray for this family and the others. I am going to pray. We need to act now to end this carnage that is ruining lives.
This is so heartbreaking, I'm in tears 😢 . My heart hurts for these families. Rest in peace Lexi and to all of the children and teachers who passed, may God be with you and your families. I pray that new laws are put in place, this has to end. Jesus Christ!
Y so cops can do this again n not do thier job while innocent children die? Use your brains one man or woman with a gun could have done something to save those kids but ur cops wouldn't save them n wouldn't let anyone else either no the government doesn't want people to be able to defend themselves against the government when the president wants to declare martial law read your history about how that goes
The unequivocal question is why are we selling assault rifles that even police are afraid to engage? In this case multiple agencies/officers afraid to confront just ONE AR-16…. Or are all these officers truly cowards?
As a human this brings me so much sadness. As a mother this breaks my heart. I don’t want this to ever become my reality. There has to be something done. I don’t want to have the fear of sending my children to school and scared that they may not come home. This brings so much sadness to my heart because it could have easily been any of us or our family members. I pray that God gives them the strength during this time.
Yes my biggest fear sending my babies off to school I hope they put officers @ every school & have them kicked down @ all times only teachers could come in or out
@@FilmFlam-8008 oh my god. If you aren’t a criminal, no mental health problems, what’s the issue?! You can still get a gun, just have to go through extra hoops. If you have no issues that would prevent you from obtaining a gun, there’s no issue. It’s not taking away a right because no one is asking for a total ban. The right people can have them, and the wrong people can’t.
@ihatetalking nope she said magazine cap limits. Also we tried this, didn't work. If we are limited our military should be too. The whole point is to be on as close to equal footing as possible to fight the gov. Field artillery is also included in arms we are allowed to use.
@@livingmydreamlifex10 What extra hoops? What specifically do you think is needed above what we have now? Because again, most people who say this stuff have never bought a gun. Also, you do realize it is 100% legal to make your own gun at home, right. That is right on the ATF website. It can be done at home pretty easy from parts at Home Depot. You can put whatever laws in you want. You are lot going to stop a bad guy from getting a gun.
@@taasch2505 exactly. The founders allowed civilians weapons that could destroy entire towns. Ships FILLED with cannons and weapons capable of destroying an entire port city. And they were fine with it… explicitly. They even contracted some of them as privateers.
This broke my heart into tiny pieces. They are so strong I would have been hyperventilating not able to speak. So sorry for their and everyone’s loss on that tragic day.
This is so heartbreaking. I cannot begin to imagine the pain both mum and dad are feeling and will feel for the rest of their life in this world. I send my sincere condolences to Lexi’s family and I pray that God gives them strength to cope with this tragedy. May God The Most High bless them❤️
My kids go back to school August and I’m so afraid I never felt scared like this before and they haven’t changed any laws or secured the schools with police officers etc..
My twin boys who are 5 start school soon, I don’t think I can send them. I’m too afraid, I’m too nervous to think my babies can be taken from me at SCHOOL. I have already started the steps to homeschool. America is not safe anymore to leave your children anywhere. This breaks my heart, sobbing while trying to understand what these parents are going through. I can’t imagine, I don’t want to imagine… I reallly really wish all of these families didn’t have to go through this. You watch this and wish you could help them, fix it, WE ALL NEED TO HELP OUR HOME FEEL SAFER AND BETTER FOR OUR BABIES. They and all the families are forever in my heart, may they have all our love, prayers, and support. I’m here for change in our system, for our children.
My condolences dear mother and father. May God comfort you. 21 years old is still too young. People that age are still irresponsible. The age should be raised much much higher. 30s or 40s.
agree, I don't know why people keep saying they should raise it to 21. People really think 21 year olds are so much more mature than 18-20 year olds, its insane. I'd say raise it to 25
@Kira The reason I chose 25 is that generally a brain is fully developed by then, especially the critical frontal lobe which is used for consequence thinking etc. It's crazy how you can't rent a car before 25 but you can buy any type of weaponry you wish at 18. Something isn't adding up here. I can't find any reason why an 18 year old or anyone around that age could just order assault rifles from the internet that easily. If you are american that I can say then you live in a corrupt country my friend. Some things over there are just absurd.
@Kira And unfortunately the laws will probably not be changed. And there will certainly be more horrific mass shootings. It's sad to say but it's almost too late to do anything unless the government decides to do something very major
@Kira you clearly didnt understand their comment & it shows. around the age of 25 is typically when the brain completely stops growing. thats why it’s surprising that a lot of people were suggesting to have the age raised to 21, because at the age of 21 theres still a big chance that the brain can be generally underdeveloped.
As father's we know our job is to protect our children,I know he will be feeling this way even though theirs nothing he could of done.,I hope he gets the support, as men are often forgotten . My heart is broken for the loss to all the families.❤️
Omg! This is heartbreaking and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm crying and I can not imagine the pain. I have a young daughter too and I'm scared for her safety.
My daughter is in an all year around school they get out earlier and start sooner than most schools, and weeks prior before this tragic event my child had a ceremony at her school . I dropped her off and then came back after 9am for her ceremony. I took pictures of her and her friend . There’s no imagining if this happened to you or me. I am just so sorry my heart is broken for these parents . I live in San Antonio tx
My deepest condolences to her family 😪🙏my heart hurts for all the children who were murdered and all of the parents affected.I’m a parent and We lost our beloved son 5 years ago and loosing a child is the worst pain a parent can go through 😞😪😪
Dad broke my heart I can tell how broken he is and mom is too I see it she’s so strong for speaking up I hear the pain in her voice 💔💔 my prayers are with all these families and for s change in the system to protect all kids in school.
All schools need to be locked at all times. No person should be able to walk in any door. Have security at all schools & doors. Something needs to change so no other children have to die. Im so sorry to Lexis parents & family. My sincere and deepest condolences🌻
I have no words except my heart hurts for these families. If laws can't change quickly what does that say about the legal system and who is in charge? This is a no brainer for most parents, stricter gun laws.
Stricter gun laws will do NOTHING if they are not enforced and criminals are not held accountable. The same people in government calling for these laws have praised cities with the highest gun crime in America who happen to also have those same laws they are calling for. Yet, they CHOOSE to turn a blind eye to everyday street violence. Tired as the argument may sound, nothing will stop someone wanting to do harm from doing it. There are too many guns on the street, floating around ILLEGALLY. They cannot be confiscated and they cannot be tracked, The best that we can do is defend ourselves, scary as it may sound. You saw the police stand back. Noone will protect your family but YOU.
I’m at work right now bawling my eyes out . The ending of her testimony cuts deep . The very least Congress can do is raise that age to 21 . So many questions surrounding all these shootings. Past time to Awaken
I feel so sorry for these parents, having to bury their daughter cause the cowardly police officers just stood outside and didn't do anything to help those innocent children, my prayers and thoughts are with the good people of uvalde, and May the police officers get charged for darilate of duty for they were sworn to protect and serve yet they failed to do so, hold them accountable for their lack of action and God Bless this mother and father who's child should not have died but unfortunately was taking before her time 🙏God Bless this Mother and Father 🙏
Oh my word…I don’t even know you and it tore my heart apart to hear of this horrible, horrible tragedy. I’ve been keeping you all in my prayers to be able to endure this horrific tragedy one day at a time, even one minute at a time. You are so so so loved and supported by the whole world. I love you beyond words. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
“Somewhere out there, this is a mom listening to our testimony thinking ‘I can’t even imagine their pain.’ not knowing that our reality, will one day be her reality. Unless we act now.” CHILLS.
Gut wrenching statement, and also one of my biggest fears.
Jesus… I feel so so sorry for her, her family and her little girl .
god it felt like she said that directly to me. I cant stand this.
Yes, NOW!!!
god I'm crying for these beautiful babies and there 💔 families why did the cops wait 77 minutes
I feel horrible for these parents. I couldn't stop crying. This one really got me 😔
@WTF some people don't always cry when their lives we're just crushed. Their pain is unquestionable.
@WTF What’s your damn problem smh
My heart and prayers go out to these parents. It's so sad that this has to happen to those 19 Children, and 2:teachers. They need to stop the gun violence in this world.
@WTF they've had WEEKS to cry. Most people are " all cried- out, by the time they even go to a funeral, and don't cry until later from memories. You sound weird as hell, " thinking that people should cry we WHEN YOU DETERMINE IS TUNE FOR THEM TO CRY. "
@WTF Take your effing cult's lunatic conspiracy theories elsewhere. Decent people don't want to hear them.
You can hear how broken her heart is.....and the father, he has this haunted look....lost, almost numb. I can not even begin to imagine the grief these two are experiencing....all of the parents who lost a child and children who lost parents.
Yes I hope they are surrended by loved ones at this time. Dads face has this look I know too well. I mean they both are beyond hurting but just dads face.. Broken. This is awful. I feel heart broken for them.
Much peace be with u as well.

the second i looked to her father i started to cry. i’ve seen that face before on my own dad after my sister died. he is holding in everything he can to not lose it all right there and breakdown. i hope they get peace and justice for lexi she was so beautiful and had so much ahead of her.
If anything he should be ashamed of himself, how he lives going forward will beyond me. Have you seen the video? He just stands there in the corner of the hallway, hiding behind a wall (Keep in mind he is all geared up) during a good ordeal while his daughter is most probably already bleeding to death. Can't see how this moms story adds up either.

He is an Iraq veteran who sacrificed his life for the US and now have to lose his daughter let alone in this horrific manner because of the US laws, this is a disgrace.
Veterans who went and murdered children in Iraq, abused children in Iraq, and committed all sorts of war crimes there? I don’t care for his military background, kinda ironic to bring it up.
@@Sara-gl5dc veterans whom were not necessarily aware that they would be committing “war crimes”, abusing/killing kids. Most 18yr olds are sold the “job security, good pay, housing, college assistance, housing assistance, benefits & etc” story. Then once they’re in-unless they rather go to a military prison, they comply until their contract ends-then exit. Thus making them a young vets, such as this man 😐.
And in addition, the military also protects us as well. Do you think the US, should NOT have a military? Surely you know better than that…then again maybe now, as you insulted this solider mourning from losing his CHILD due to some wacko.
I hope you and your family stay safe…
@@childishgambino4845 as someone who sees the U.S. imperialism that has destroyed Asia, and North Africa, no, I don’t support the U.S. military. My freedom isn’t being protected by killing children in schools in other countries. And I’m speaking of those who knowingly commit war crimes. I’m aware the U.S. preys on recruiting poor young kids to go “serve.” This rant really has nothing to do with the tragedies that keep happening here, I just find it ironic to bring up being an Iraq veteran. No insults being dished out here either.

@bring eugenics back 😉 pretty funny for ya huh?😀👍
I am with you. I actually live in Europe (moved here from Texas) and I'm watching this with the utmost horror and revulsion. I hate all this and I am mortified watching this from a country where mass shootings are exceedingly rare. How do you explain to Europeans when they ask us Americans why this keeps happening? The world is watching the US and shaking their heads, wondering why we cannot seem to be able to do anything to stop the insanity.
I need to stop watching myself. Last night I had a nightmare our kid was shot.
As a mom and a mass shooting survivor I cannot put into words what seeing and experiencing this feels like. We needed a change to happen years ago but now more than ever she is absolutely right when she said “out there is a mom watching this not knowing this will one day be her” remember we are all somebody else to someone else. No person, parent, spouse, and most importantly child should ever have to go through something like this.
I'm sorry you went through that, your brave for sharing your story. May I ask which shooting did you survive?
What school did you survive?!?
So true. And yet all we keep hearing is stuff about banning this weapon or that- no addressing of school safety, no policies and training for school defense, no attention to the societal and cultural issues that cause these evil and/or whacked out perpetrators to act in the first place.
The pundits and politicians have an agenda, and they take advantage of tragedies like this to promote their cause.
If they really cared, they’d be willing to enact and participate in the cultural changes necessary to curb and eventually eliminate in a generation the brokenness that is creating these monsters that commit violent atrocities against children, families, and celebrating crowds. Innocents that become victims of heinous crimes carried out by evil individuals- usually very young men- in our society deserve more than bandwagon lip service to make more laws or ban guns. The victims deserve justice and their families deserve safe communities. Banning firearms or certain magazines doesn’t remove the perpetrator risk- it merely insures that innocent law abiding citizens bear an inability to pursue their recreational pursuits if they are shooting sports enthusiasts.
Until deal with the cause, gun ban or no gun ban we’ll continue creating evil perpetrators who will continue killing innocents.
Never mind the blatant and abject dereliction of duty by law enforcement that day, and totally irresponsible handling of the crises. It’s almost looking like they wanted this to happen.
And banning AR15s will fix all that they say.
Say it again to MTG!!
I went to a concert in Germany today and people brought a uvalde sign which was placed on stage by the artist. The whole world cares about you and everybody experiencing this senseless tragedy. The best I can do is donating money but I really really hope laws will change over there for you so that no more kids have to die like this. Sending love and hope for actual change.
The dad looks like he's had a part of his soul ripped out of him I cant even imagine the pain. May God provide comfort through this horrific time.

@@IceLynne I can try and help you understand when people things happen like this and it is possible to keep it from happening most people in this world care more about what’s benefitting them but like this mother who lost her child she knows there is a problem which is guns guns the power people have with them when they use them to not protect themselves but only to hurt others now I personally believe this world is way too far gone worse things happen every day kids babies animals families everything is dying around us most people just don’t have that perspective so the choose not to look at it because it’s hard
That’s my explanation you have a Blessed day
@@IceLynne in other countries where they reduced the number of guns, they reduced their gun violence. It is really that simple. A majority of Americans support common sense gun reform. It’s time to vote out those who go against the will of the people.

Been crying every day since this happened and I thank the stars above that I decided to pull my children out of school two years ago when I was terrified after hearing threats at our school that there was an active shooter all of it was just rumors but it made me open my eyes that my children are not safe in public school. I pray for your babies and all the children that have no other choice but to go to public school.
Im 😢 lord 😭😭😭😭😭 i cant even finsh this comment so so hurtful
Unfortunately it’s not just children at school that are vulnerable to gun violence. We are all vulnerable when we worship at church, shopping at the grocery store, enjoying a concert, in the movie theater, etc.
No one is safe from gun violence…we must demand gun reform from leaders.
Also, we must make mental health care accessible to all.
@@aliciaramon6473 you are so correct about that. However one is more precise and can yield more immediate results where mental health is not an exact science and there are so many degrees of mental Illness. Impulsiveness is not a crime. Impulsiveness with an AR-15 however is.

i’m a college student now but the scariest moment of my life was when in high school, we got a shooter threat. i was at lunch, practicing a dance with other students… our assistant principal suddenly ran to us ans told us to run as fast and as far as we could. i’ll never forget the absolute horror in my veins when we ran out of the school. i ran and was terrified that the shooter was behind us and would follow us, we had no idea where they were. somebody was arrested for making the threat-they never showed up, it was a “prank.” and it was one of the cruelest “pranks” that one could ever do. for the rest of that year at school i was terrified to go anywhere, the bathroom, different classrooms, etc. i was always prepared to run. i’ll never forget it and i’ll always hurt for those who were lost in this country from gun violence.
omg same. literally last week somebody brought a knife. the police won’t even break up a fight from two GIRLS imagine if their was a gun man. worse part is i’m in TEXAS too!

Listen to the parents of the children who have been murdered by gun violence. Let them tell you what they'd change!

We are living in a time unfortunately where good is considered evil and evil good. Just look around you. Nothing is normal. We are in the last days and time is getting short. If you have a Bible read Romans chapter 1. Don’t stop there. Read the gospel of John. I am not against stricter gun laws. However, there are those who’s main objective is to disarm the population entirely but the reason we have a second amendment is to protect the population from a rogue government. There is a group on a global scale which includes some in the US who would remove US sovereignty if they could get rid of our second amendment. When Americans can no longer defend themselves, we won’t have a country. Again, I am not opposed to some legislation but you have to be very careful because it’s a slippery slope.

The mom saying, “right now there is a mom out there not able to imagine this and one day she will be the one” my daughters school has had 2 threats the last week, one found and one crime stopper reward for a lead to other. I talk to her about what to do and pray I get my last 2 through school without this happening. We have threats all the time but more recently. This is out of control! But all these threats come from current students in my daughters school, and there response is one sheriff on campus. I’m so scared, I’m sad that we practiced fire and earthquake drills and my kids are practicing to be shot at. I don’t even want to send them anymore. Tomorrow is the last day of school, praying both my kids come home and get to enjoy the summer, it’s sick that’s what I’m praying for when I leave my kids at school.
My school stay getting threats a kid was arrested with a 1.5mm 😩😩😩
As a mom myself I had a knot in my throat while fighting back my tears! I cant’t even begin to comprehend their pain but what I can do is fight with them to make sure it doesn’t happen again!
The solution is to start committing the crazy people to psychiatric hospitals again. We used to do that in the USA and we didn't have these problems.
May God comfort all of these families devastated by this tragedy 💔 This senseless violence needs to stop.
Omggggg this is sooo sad I can’t I can’t 😢😢😢😢 may her daughter rest in peace ❤
I happened to go down the school shooting video rabbit hole in my recommended videos and I've been in tears for over an hour! I "am" that mom listening Hun!!! We can change for our kids! Blessings to your family
I can’t express my heartbreak for all of these families. Your family is so strong. I’m so proud of your strength and bravery. Sending you love and praying for change ❤️🩹
My heart is broken for this lovely couple, their children, family and friends. I can see their pain losing their beautiful, loving, smart daughter that had her whole life ahead of her. It unfathomable to see what they are going through. Please pray for this family and the others. I am going to pray. We need to act now to end this carnage that is ruining lives.
My heart hurts for all the families. This Is a wake up call for everyone to stand together and do something…..
God Bless these parents 🙏Please help heal their hearts🙏🙏🙏🙏
so sorry for everyone who lost their kids
This is unbearable. Lord, continue to give these noble parents words. Words to bring about change.
This is so heartbreaking, I'm in tears 😢 . My heart hurts for these families. Rest in peace Lexi and to all of the children and teachers who passed, may God be with you and your families. I pray that new laws are put in place, this has to end. Jesus Christ!
Y so cops can do this again n not do thier job while innocent children die? Use your brains one man or woman with a gun could have done something to save those kids but ur cops wouldn't save them n wouldn't let anyone else either no the government doesn't want people to be able to defend themselves against the government when the president wants to declare martial law read your history about how that goes
Chills down my spine… God bless these parents.
The unequivocal question is why are we selling assault rifles that even police are afraid to engage? In this case multiple agencies/officers afraid to confront just ONE AR-16…. Or are all these officers truly cowards?
May the Lord heal all that pain you are going thru. Praying for your family! RIP beautiful Lexi Rubio 💕🙏💕
As a human this brings me so much sadness. As a mother this breaks my heart. I don’t want this to ever become my reality. There has to be something done. I don’t want to have the fear of sending my children to school and scared that they may not come home. This brings so much sadness to my heart because it could have easily been any of us or our family members. I pray that God gives them the strength during this time.
Yes my biggest fear sending my babies off to school I hope they put officers @ every school & have them kicked down @ all times only teachers could come in or out
Such a powerful message at the end. Made time stop
No it wasn’t. It was asking to strip people of their constitutional rights.
@@FilmFlam-8008 oh my god. If you aren’t a criminal, no mental health problems, what’s the issue?! You can still get a gun, just have to go through extra hoops. If you have no issues that would prevent you from obtaining a gun, there’s no issue. It’s not taking away a right because no one is asking for a total ban. The right people can have them, and the wrong people can’t.
@ihatetalking nope she said magazine cap limits. Also we tried this, didn't work. If we are limited our military should be too. The whole point is to be on as close to equal footing as possible to fight the gov. Field artillery is also included in arms we are allowed to use.
@@livingmydreamlifex10
What extra hoops? What specifically do you think is needed above what we have now? Because again, most people who say this stuff have never bought a gun.
Also, you do realize it is 100% legal to make your own gun at home, right. That is right on the ATF website. It can be done at home pretty easy from parts at Home Depot. You can put whatever laws in you want. You are lot going to stop a bad guy from getting a gun.
@@taasch2505 exactly. The founders allowed civilians weapons that could destroy entire towns. Ships FILLED with cannons and weapons capable of destroying an entire port city. And they were fine with it… explicitly. They even contracted some of them as privateers.
I miss lexi she was so sweet and caring rest in peace angle
This broke my heart into tiny pieces. They are so strong I would have been hyperventilating not able to speak. So sorry for their and everyone’s loss on that tragic day.
So extremely sad and so well said. I can’t imagine Lexi’s family’s pain!
This is so heartbreaking. I cannot begin to imagine the pain both mum and dad are feeling and will feel for the rest of their life in this world. I send my sincere condolences to Lexi’s family and I pray that God gives them strength to cope with this tragedy. May God The Most High bless them❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. As a parent myself, I can’t imagine the horror of losing them. Especially like this. 😢
yawn 🥱
My kids go back to school August and I’m so afraid I never felt scared like this before and they haven’t changed any laws or secured the schools with police officers etc..
My twin boys who are 5 start school soon, I don’t think I can send them. I’m too afraid, I’m too nervous to think my babies can be taken from me at SCHOOL. I have already started the steps to homeschool. America is not safe anymore to leave your children anywhere. This breaks my heart, sobbing while trying to understand what these parents are going through. I can’t imagine, I don’t want to imagine… I reallly really wish all of these families didn’t have to go through this. You watch this and wish you could help them, fix it, WE ALL NEED TO HELP OUR HOME FEEL SAFER AND BETTER FOR OUR BABIES. They and all the families are forever in my heart, may they have all our love, prayers, and support. I’m here for change in our system, for our children.
As an Indian mom my heat goes out to you prayers n condolences from a billion indians
Butter Chicken,
My condolences dear mother and father. May God comfort you. 21 years old is still too young. People that age are still irresponsible. The age should be raised much much higher. 30s or 40s.
agree, I don't know why people keep saying they should raise it to 21. People really think 21 year olds are so much more mature than 18-20 year olds, its insane. I'd say raise it to 25
@Kira The reason I chose 25 is that generally a brain is fully developed by then, especially the critical frontal lobe which is used for consequence thinking etc. It's crazy how you can't rent a car before 25 but you can buy any type of weaponry you wish at 18. Something isn't adding up here.
I can't find any reason why an 18 year old or anyone around that age could just order assault rifles from the internet that easily. If you are american that I can say then you live in a corrupt country my friend. Some things over there are just absurd.
@Kira And unfortunately the laws will probably not be changed. And there will certainly be more horrific mass shootings. It's sad to say but it's almost too late to do anything unless the government decides to do something very major
@Kira you clearly didnt understand their comment & it shows. around the age of 25 is typically when the brain completely stops growing. thats why it’s surprising that a lot of people were suggesting to have the age raised to 21, because at the age of 21 theres still a big chance that the brain can be generally underdeveloped.
Raise it to 65
As father's we know our job is to protect our children,I know he will be feeling this way even though theirs nothing he could of done.,I hope he gets the support, as men are often forgotten .
My heart is broken for the loss to all the families.❤️
As a teacher my heart breaks even more so.
Little angel I'm so very sorry.
To the parents and family I will forever keep you in my prayers.
it doesn’t brake my heart at all
@@fellspilts3932 what are you

So sad. R. I. P. LEXI.
I couldn’t hold my tears back for all these parents that lost their babies. My goodness god please protect them heal them 🥺
"We know they won't do anything because guns are more important to them than children, but can we at least raise the age to 21". Incomprehensible.
Raise the age up…then what🤷🏻♀️ what does age have to do with anything.l?
Anyone owning a gun must have mandatory psychological testing. That’s should be a given
Omg! This is heartbreaking and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm crying and I can not imagine the pain. I have a young daughter too and I'm scared for her safety.
My daughter is in an all year around school they get out earlier and start sooner than most schools, and weeks prior before this tragic event my child had a ceremony at her school . I dropped her off and then came back after 9am for her ceremony. I took pictures of her and her friend . There’s no imagining if this happened to you or me. I am just so sorry my heart is broken for these parents . I live in San Antonio tx
GOD HELP US ALL!
I am a mother of a 10 year old daughter watching you and sobbing. I 100% agree with you, changes need to happen now.
I’m sorry for your great loss. I will continue to pray for you and may Lexy’s Soul Rest In Peace. ❤️
My deepest condolences to her family 😪🙏my heart hurts for all the children who were murdered and all of the parents affected.I’m a parent and We lost our beloved son 5 years ago and loosing a child is the worst pain a parent can go through 😞😪😪
Thank you for sharing, prayers to you and your family" I hear you" I hope others do too...
Dad broke my heart I can tell how broken he is and mom is too I see it she’s so strong for speaking up I hear the pain in her voice 💔💔 my prayers are with all these families and for s change in the system to protect all kids in school.
All schools need to be locked at all times. No person should be able to walk in any door. Have security at all schools & doors. Something needs to change so no other children have to die. Im so sorry to Lexis parents & family. My sincere and deepest condolences🌻
I have no words except my heart hurts for these families. If laws can't change quickly what does that say about the legal system and who is in charge? This is a no brainer for most parents, stricter gun laws.
Stricter gun laws will do NOTHING if they are not enforced and criminals are not held accountable. The same people in government calling for these laws have praised cities with the highest gun crime in America who happen to also have those same laws they are calling for. Yet, they CHOOSE to turn a blind eye to everyday street violence. Tired as the argument may sound, nothing will stop someone wanting to do harm from doing it. There are too many guns on the street, floating around ILLEGALLY. They cannot be confiscated and they cannot be tracked, The best that we can do is defend ourselves, scary as it may sound. You saw the police stand back. Noone will protect your family but YOU.
I’m at work right now bawling my eyes out . The ending of her testimony cuts deep . The very least Congress can do is raise that age to 21 . So many questions surrounding all these shootings. Past time to Awaken
I feel so sorry for these parents, having to bury their daughter cause the cowardly police officers just stood outside and didn't do anything to help those innocent children, my prayers and thoughts are with the good people of uvalde, and May the police officers get charged for darilate of duty for they were sworn to protect and serve yet they failed to do so, hold them accountable for their lack of action and God Bless this mother and father who's child should not have died but unfortunately was taking before her time 🙏God Bless this Mother and Father 🙏
they have to bury their child because a gunman killed her. the police men didn't pull the trigger on those kids
The gunman is the only one to blame here!
Yes blame the shooter, not the gun
Are u dumb? It’s because of the mentally ill killer
@@taasch2505 blame the drug users not the drugs let druglors traffic drugs 🤡
Profoundly humbled for their grace and strength to come forward God bless them
So glad you shared your story with us. May God continue to strengthen you and your family. Love U and "Lexi".
Oh my word…I don’t even know you and it tore my heart apart to hear of this horrible, horrible tragedy. I’ve been keeping you all in my prayers to be able to endure this horrific tragedy one day at a time, even one minute at a time. You are so so so loved and supported by the whole world. I love you beyond words. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
