The Pediatrician could’ve not brought this story across of the massacre done in these children life any better. He did an impeccable job.
And the RepubliKKKlans will send their thoughts and prayers.
@@beachbum1523 It is 100% clear you have no idea what party created the KKK... Of course you don't know that, kid.... How could you? If you can read at all, I'd suggest you study on that detail before you go spewing your arrogant ignorance around.
@@beachbum1523 and we will abide by the second amendment of the Constitution!
@@boltup5566 yall sound like spoiled brats...honestly f the 2nd amendment at this point if it's costing kids life's like this...killing kids to the point they can't be recognized...u must not have kids
@@boltup5566 Why ?
Imagine having to not just bury your child, but also live with the fact that your son or daughter was mutilated to the point where they are unrecognizable. Such horrific evil and suffering.
@Sounds Aboutwhite No I dont know what it's like; I'm just an outsider who's been watching the horrors unfold. And I pray that I never do find out what it's like....
@Sounds Aboutwhite why are we saying this right now…I’m a bigger supporter of racial justice than anyone but you need to read the room and see this isn’t the time for that comment, it’s very insensitive. Right now we are honoring the child victims of gun violence
@@thekalenichannel1812 Why ignore the real concerns. This is the reality of the subject. This is how it is! we can't just push it aside because its "insensitive." Its truth, sometimes truths hurt.
No parent should ever experience that
its incomprehensible Horriftying again and again and again and yet Nothing has Changed except where it happens
How hard for him to see those dead body’s of his own patients. He can also feel the pain being an alumni of the elementary school. The more you hear the stories it’s heartbreaking 💔
Hello there 👋 how are you doing?
The republicans doesnt care
😢😢
Wow. That was about the greatest and most well spoken speech I have ever heard. God bless this pediatrician. Hope his message sinks in.
he should run for President in 2024.
This is so hurtful. 😪
This was powerful, heartbreaking testimony. So thoughtfully worded and eloquently spoken under excruciating circumstances. Thank you Dr. Guerrero for having the courage to speak the ugly truth to Congress. Now we wait and see if they do their jobs as American's are begging them to do so.
And if Congress when Congress ignores our pleas 🌊🌊🌊
Great speech. Just stay away from my guns.
NRA has the same message as always stay in your lane. They don't think doctors have any valid political or legal opinions
@@boltup5566 you are the problem
@@boltup5566 Great comment. Just stay away from our children.
Politicians are failing us bc of GREED and greed alone. They are horrific monsters.
I was waiting on him to say greed.. smh you are so right!!!
who is electing these monsters? WHO is giving them their power? Think on that.
So true. I implore all Americans to VOTE BLUE FOR OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN .💙💙💙
Greed and…the constitution of the United States?

@@HmmmYeahRiiiiiight Then the gunman would have just broken out a window and gone in that way.
Very powerful words he spoke.
Just the words "PULVERIZED & DECAPITATED" are just beyond the outcome !!!! This is hard ............................
Killers left to fester are sick people it’s heartbreaking.
+@@mickeyandres2651 STUPID GUN LAWS IN THIS BASKET CASE OF A NATION IS HEARTBREAKING!
I’m astonished and heartbroken by that description
The fact civilians can by a weapon that can do that much damage "just for funsies" is horrific. In my opinion, no civilian should have a weapon like that. Thatvwont happen though
I'd settle for "extreme background checks and sale regulations," but too many think that's too extreme too. Very disappointing.
Yup!
Just a note for the honorable doctor: Your leaders are not motivated by stubborness nor passivity, as you suggested. It's clear they are in the grip of greed and fear instead. Thank you for your courage and character!
@@CodeRed1991 Are you being sarcastic?
Dems greed and fear! Scared of covid and scared of hunting rifles!
Probably passivity and complacency #1.
I believe that politicians aren't proactive on gun control because they have no reason to since it has never hit home to them.
In other words they don't want to "deal" with it when they should.
Politicians are paid off by the NRA that fight tooth and nail for the 2nd amendment that was made in a time when there wasn't a police force or military. There was a time when the 2nd amendment was needed but that time has long passed.
I would say both if they are told to eat healthy they will sometimes ignore it and not care this being stubborn
He is so well spoken, wow that was a powerful speech.
...the magic spell is to be broken at midnight, he powers down then...
Isn’t he expected to be well spoken? Why is it worth noting? Is there something that precludes him from being articulate? Shove your prejudices up your ***!
It’s heartbreaking to listen to the pain is describe by the doctor 🥺😢
As a gun violence survivor myself at 15 years old the first time (I saw a guy shoot himself). my heart breaks for them. The 2nd time I survived the deadliest mass shooting in the country 5 year ago in my hometown.. Las Vegas, NV.
I suffer with survivors gulit every other day and I dont feel like I've done much for the 2nd chance I was given at life. I am 22 now. My heart breaks for them, those 19 officers were cowards 💔
Omg Ana, really regret you had to go through such a nightmare. 🙏👼❤
I hope you have someone who you can talk to about your survivor's guilt. You doubt deserve to have to carry around that burden. I'm very glad you survived. You have many years ahead of you, and lots of time to accomplish great things. 💖
One Love Anna.🖤💚💛❤️🖤🌻
I pray your life improves and that its purpose serves much reward for others. The same for one of the Robb teachers who survived being shot. He does not want to be in the classroom anymore, but is on a mission to help make schools safer.
Thanks for sharing. Now is the time Ana! We all need to live life with urgency as time is not forever and we all have a purpose. We are with you!
I can’t fathom being the ones recovering and carrying out the bodies of those precious children and cleaning up the splatter of blood all over that classroom! Or the morticians who had to look at the dead bodies of the children!! Unimaginable!
@@CodeRed1991 WTH does that mean.????
@@CodeRed1991 🚩
@@dolesncmor I saw Code red say he wants his gun over the lives of innocent children in a different place. This person is obviously sick. I guess he's seeking attention. Childish violent mind. Just ignore him. That's what he's afraid of.
@@CodeRed1991 precious kids only attend Betsy DeVos' private schools, something your simple brains don't comprehend.............
Not only blood but pieces of their body.
The sad thing is this beautiful testimony will fall on deaf ears. Nothing will happen, I love watching these and having campaign ads running on the commercial breaks asking for donations...ridiculous
Dr. Guerrero's heartbreaking testimony before Congress was powerful as he expressed the horror and tragedy of that terrible day at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde. Hopefully Dr. Guerrero's testimony, as well as by Miah Cerrillo and other witnesses before Congress, will finally wake up politicians who share responsibility for this tragedy. My thoughts and prayers to all of the children and their families of Uvalde. Jenny
I saw a lot of the republicans argue that gun reform won’t do a thing and democrats are “trying to pull a fast one on us”. They’re either brainwashed or are completely bought by NRA
@@PeaceJaime123 The NRA has had too much power and sway over the Republicans for a long, long time. Let's just hope that for once they'll wake up after listening to all of these heart wrenching testimonies and take the higher ground and pass common sense gun laws to prevent more tragedies. Enough's enough!
Who did this, the vid doctor just talked to incite the community for gun control
As a lucid doctor he did nothing to heal the community,. Talking about collecting children's parts and blood everywhere. That little girl is inciteful propaganda . He surely didn't honor those children or the grieving parents by painting this gross vision of innocent childrens decapitated and bloodied PARTS. The clown didn't even say bodies. This man is a little Hitler a vile creature and you found solice in his words.
You may need help to, don't buy a gun for your neighbor s sake
This testimony broke my heart. If our politicians can listen to this from a man with such dignity and compassion and not act and they do not belong in office. They may not represent us because they don’t.
I agree, anybody that wants to infringe on my rights or attempt to remove them does not represent me or my best interests.
Whole political body are just greedy people who care all about money, and that is why they will continue to sell the guns
Americans, don't wait for the politicians, they are beholden to special interest groups and are too cowardly to do anything. IT IS UP TO YOU TO DEMAND CHANGE THROUGH YOUR VOTE. Create pledges, or groups that commit large numbers of voters that will only vote for candidates who will do something to curb gun violence. Politicians will only act when their grip on power is in jeopardy
Alan you need to scream this from the rooftops. This is a good message, please keep repeating it everywhere! Like Twitter too.
thinking that votes can change anything at the level of the house/senate is just plain asinine. They dont care about you or what you want, none of them do or ever have.
sooooo if you know politicians wont do anything in your interest, explain why you think gun control is a good idea... they clearly dont care about your safety.
Voting is not helping us. It seems things keep getting worse the more we keep relying on votes. They're rigging the votes in marginalized commuties or making it harder for certain groups to vote.
I hate to say this but I really feel like we're headed for a civil war. Politicians won't stop with their greed until we finally lose our minds.
@@MagickalMermaid idk what ur on about, gun control got passed
Children have the right to survive primary school. Don’t tell me about your gun rights.
What about all the kids that didn’t survive primary school to drunk drivers. Which btw is more that death by guns, but you would give up your precut alcohol
Then start sending your kids to better secured schools. Don't come after our gun rights when it's your cops and justice system who are the problem.
@@TheJwalk1234 Yeah, my uncles died as children due to a drunk driver - and yet drunk drivers can still obtain licenses after faking do-good behavior.
@@TheJwalk1234 Cool, let's make a deal. Let's put BAC interlock on all cars and enact gun control. We're not the only country with drunk driving problems, but guess what we're #1 in?
He gave a voice to the voiceless.
Impeccable & powerful. Well done doctor, well done.
The lawmakers NEED to listen and hear what the medical providers see and have to say to a grieving parents. These doctors/nurses/first responders are the ones that see it all. Politicians really NEED to hear what the medical teams are saying. No parent should EVER lose a child in a horrific way when their's room for change.
Powerful testimony! Thank you, Dr. Guerrero!
This doctor made a wonderful speech you can tell that he was coming from his heart, Uvalde being his home town watching those kids over the years growing everyone in Uvalde is a victim
SO SAD THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT TAKE PROTECT OF US!!!
you think the government should keep passing more and more laws to protect us? there are more than enough laws. they get broken. stop looking to the government to care for you. that is not what this country is all about
Which begs the question, why are we supporting it? Why are we paying taxes if they can't keep us safe?
So sad that you actually think they can
That's why the we want to conceal carry. Give yourself a fighting chance.
Stop relying on the government to do anything for you. The government has no interest in protecting you. Learn to protect yourself and stop relying on anyone else for your safety. If you call for help, no one will arrive in time.
I know doctors see a lot of stuff, sick people, injured people, etc, but I don’t know how even a doctor can get over seeing the dead bodies of innocent children with their heads blown off. I can’t even wrap my brain around it.
Nurses as well. We're also by that bedside and dealing with families constantly.
He masterfully executed that speech. Godspeed, Dr. Guerrero. Your last name is very fitting at this time.
GREAT SPEECH DR GUERRERO. Hope the moronic politiciens taking gun money hear you.
News flash. Politicians follow the money. If there isn’t money in it for them, they won’t do anything.
idk what politicians are taking gun money.... the NRA hasn't done anything pro gun in a long time besides take its supporters money and give it to themselves....
@@valdez3245 agreed
However hard or distasteful it may appear, the public needs to see flesh wounds as a result of AR-15 and other automatic rifles.... It CAN NOT be equated in any way to a 30-06 or hunting rifle!!!!
You clearly know nothing about firearms, the rifle was not automatic, 5.56 does less damage than .30-06. People who do not own a firearm have no right to comment on the rights of Americans to bear arms, since liberals like to say that men have no right to comment on abortion rights.
Rita,
What is hard and distasteful is watching Potus fk with his watch while our finest is being unloaded draped with Old Glory.
Get real lady this grandstanding is gross and these families should be left alone not paraded around by disingenuous politicians.
@@Mason-zp8yb 21 people, kids are dead, does it matter what style it performs, talk about less damage, I am sure that classroom speaks differently, this maniac should have never been able to get this gun!
@@Mason-zp8yb Despite the relatively small caliber, the Remington .223 and its variants are powerful rounds that can do an extraordinary amount of damage to human bodies.
By the way, do people without uteruses have a right to comment on abortion rights?
@@michaelpacak3401 I mean the guy who made the comment was talking about damage and the guns being automatic. The gun was not automatic and if someone was to shoot a automatic gun for the first time they would miss half of their shots.
Beautifully said. Thank you and God Bless you.
I’d like to know who the rude man is - sitting behind Dr. Guerrero with the pink tie that can’t sit respectfully and listen respectfully. Pathetic!
Yea irritating wally
Police officers enjoy a "qualified immunity" to their job, under the understanding that they are in a hazardous profession.... but when they are faced with a choice of engaging in that hazardous professional action that affords them the qualified immunity, they're able to... say that it's not their job? Their embrace Dave Grossman's training which has touched every single aspect of almost every police officers training; they are trained to think they're soldiers, get to choose when they are soldiers, and then do not have to have consequences when they choose not to be, or when they choose to? This is the very definition of being "above the law."
The modern "qualified immunity" that the courts have falsely given police stems from the 1982 Harlow v. Fitzgerald case, a U.S. Supreme Court decision. That decision dealt with a Department of Defense analyst. While common law has always provided police with the option of a "good faith" defense, the Rehnquist Supreme Court started the ball rolling, to give police near absolute immunity from civil and criminal liability. You know, absolute power. Look up "qualified immunity" in Wikipedia before you make up stuff.
The good ole boys.
Why would you generalize all police officers like that . That’s doesn’t make you any more right .

The police made a huge mistake in this case. In almost every other case they go in and not all of them come out so your comment is absurd in most cases.

Those 19 kids are dead because the uvdale police waited over 1 hour before going into the school. Sitting outside while knowing those kids were dying.
There are children and teachers dead becuse you let an 18year old buy a lethal weapon. Until you get that more and more chidren will die.
Although I agree 100 % for this doctor to give the graphic details of those children's conditions, what I don't understand is why he even has to address Congress.
There have been 246 mass shootings in America in 2022 so far. 244 excluding Buffalo and Uvalde. Yet the 244 has not moved Congress to do SH*T. What's 2 more added on in the scheme of Congress's neglect and only lip service afterwards 🤔? Vote these stone hearted people out in November. Congress needs 2/3 majority to change the 2nd Amendment for the betterment of the nation. Put people in Congress that cares about the citizens and not their NEXT CAMPAIGN FINANCIERS!
As another person said who spoke today… this is what america was built on… violence. It’s sick and sad but people are so used to americas violent history that they’d rather turn the other cheek
2/3rds in the senate and house, as well as ratification by at least 3/4ths of the states which would never happen unfortunately
@@Fire_Gaming64
Which is why the voters have to change the occupants of the Congress and the States will follow. It has to start. Every major change begins with the first step. They changed Prohibition, SLAVERY, Women's right to vote. No it wasn't instantaneous but, it had to have at least gotten started.
@@Pearlruby718 Fair point, though discounting some kind of major unifying event I can’t realistically see that happening for at least another half century at best. The question is which route would be more effective, starting from the top (Congress/White House) and working our way down from there, or starting from the bottom (local/state government) and working our way up from there. The former may be quicker in the short-term, but has a high likelyhood of major pushback, whereas the second is not likely to happen anytime soon, but once it does it will be simple and relatively painless to enact change at the federal level
Gang on gang violence are not mass shooting fake statistics
Imagine not being able to identify your child, except for the sneakers or tshirt they wore that day. We don’t need assault rifles in society.
I agree too that you cannot own any
assault rifles semiautomatic and automatic by law.
Also to raise any type of firearm to the age of 25..
I agree the law should ban automatic and semiautomatic weapons to the public period in the U.S.!

Lost any credibility when you said "Assault" lol
The Virginia Chapter of the AAP is proud of Dr. Guerrero for representing pediatricians and the needs of our communities and children. Thank you!
Sadly his testimony will go on deaf ears. I am so tired of babies lives being lost because politicians dont have the guts to make real legislative change to guns. Thank you for your testimony Dr. Guerrero.
Appreciate your courage, passion, empathy, and resolve. For the man sitting behind you, your inattention, smiling, chatting, and pink tie were incredibly distracting and made you appeared insensitive, immature, and self-centered. This physician’s testimony about the murder of children, he is putting his thoughts feelings and knowledge out there for change. His testimony was NOT about YOU and your pink tie. Grow up and get over yourself!
Thank you, Dr. Guerrero for sharing your observations, humanity, and demands for change!
Amazing and heart wrenching speech. I hope it hits some of our leader’s consciousness. 😞
You mean some REPUBLICAN leaders. You know, the ones who are justifying assault weapons because, they say, these powerful destructive weapons are needed to destroy Prarie dogs and raccoons. I will say this much for them, they keep coming up with bizarre disgusting rationale for their refusal to pay attention to who is buying them!
hope springs eternal...................
His message couldn’t be any better…. It was very clear and heartbreaking!!!
This is painful to hear, my God how can there be such evil people out there to inflict so much pain and suffering to others.
Ever since human existence there has been evil.Nothing new.In the Bible too.
Thank you to the doctor ,I hope the people who really need to hear this are listening and do the right thing.
It takes a defective and evil person to ignore words from a credible witness such as this doctor.
Morally bankrupt !!

Powerful words from Dr Guerrero.

Praying for the doctor's and nurse's for peace, strength, for what they saw on that day that changed the lives forever for parents, families, and the whole community of Uvalde.
Our Prayers will continue to be lifted up to the Lord to bring healing to all. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🔥🔥👑
How wonderful is this doctor! I am horrified by the inattentive behaviour of the guy behind him…..the one wearing a pink tie!
We need more people like this man in this World. I continue praying for the families who will have a lifetime of pain to deal with.
ARREST THE COWARDS OF UVALDE.
Dr. Guerrero, I don’t know if you can see this post, but I do appreciate you, your love and care you have always given to children and their families, and to tell you how grateful I am for you sharing your thoughts and feelings with the politicians and the world. I am just trying to hold back my tears with the cries of your heart and I hope our politicians will get up off their chairs and not only change the laws of background checks, the age is pushed to 21 years of age before anyone can buy a gun, and to take the Assault Weapons off the shelves everywhere!! My heart goes out to you and everyone in the medical department of the hospital and the Firefighters, EMTs, and nurses, as well as, surgeons, radiology, and patients, funeral directors, morgues, etc….. I can’t imagine what heavy grief, how hard it had to have been to see the horrific scenes no one could possibly have witnessed, and working with the strengths in all of you it took just to get through all of it. My hats off to you and much respect. Thank you for going to the politicians and standing up for every child injured or killed by the hands of evil through and through!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Much love in my hearts going to the victims and their families…..
Great job doctor. I'm in tears, so heartbreaking. My condolences to the parents, praying for their families.
Thank you Dr. Guerrero You tell them. But they will never do anything to stop. They only worry about money. They don't care until it hits home for them. Only then will they do something. Fly high angels we will see you again.
So disheartening to see people say his speech will change nothing. Thousands of people are listening to him. He has a lot of influence, as do other advocates who are brave enough to use their voice. We just convince ourselves we are shouting into the void, which is exactly how the topmost in the status quo want us to feel
If the Government does not do anything about gun reform. VOTE THEM OUT! We need new people who really care about the American people.
Oh my gosh! What a powerful message! 👏 Much respect and prayers!❤
well said! Thank You, Doctor, for giving your heartfelt statement.
I loved that analogy between being stubborn and resisting change.
Thanks for sharing. People need to see and hear what their love of guns, and demand for unfettered access to them, are doing to the victims, to the CHILDREN of their country.
Unfettered access?
You’re useless to the subject clearly.
Wrong. Gun reform will not end or even restrict gun violence. Gun reform will not fix the minds of all the people that need help.
90 people in the US die every single day in the US from automobile crashes. We don't talk about that, or how unsafe cars are and driving is.
An average of 1,315 people every single day die from smoking, including an average of 123 people a day dying as a result of second hand cigarette smoke exposure. We don't ban cigarettes. We don't talk about this.
About 125 people a day off themselves. One every 11 minutes. We don't talk about this.
Average 188 people a day overdose and die from opioid overdose. Guess they don't matter.
383 people a day from alcohol. No one talks about how booze is literally toxic.
An average of 53 people a day are murdered by firearms. But we only talk about the ones that enforce the narrative the ruling class wants to propagate.
Open your eyes. People die. We need to get our MF priorities straight. Pour all the money wasted by these congressional hearings into mental health treatment and you can make an impact on ALL these deaths.
Please stop being a shill for the ruling class. You think they care about the kids that died in Uvdale? Certainly not, they care about taking the people's guns, much more than they care about saving lives.
Guns have not changed much in decades. A quick search shows the semi-auto rifle was created in 1885. So it isn't the fault of the gun. What has changed in the past 10+ years is the suicide rate among kids, increase in single parent homes, and parents choosing to entertain their kids with electronic devices instead of building real relationships with them. When we stop pointing the blame at inanimate objects and start asking what is causing the mental instability in our youth, we might make some progress to fixing the issue.
So yea I understand law abiding citizens but yes we need regulations for these monsters.
@Jamie Proctor
100%%% people need God.
His words are well said ,on points What are elected officials doing, where is there conscience. I can't imagine this doctors look on his face when he saw devastation of these children.
Can someone listen to this and still defend the gun laws as they are written now? If so! You are not someone, you are something.
This is so heartbreaking and so frustrating because they won’t do anything about this.
Captivating words spoken by this Dr., - How would anyone hold back and be silent with the truth of what he witnessed that day?
It was a gripping speech that came from down deep in his soul and why not shout it out loudly , his words explaining the absolute grief & frightening experiences he was a part of -
this doctor was on a mission to uphold his solemn obligations and he more than did so.
Very well said and I hope it will make a difference!🙏🏽
No child should ever experience such horror. This madness gives new meaning to the phrase "America eats its young".
Very profound!!! You are an Angel your speech was beyond impeccable words!!!! You are not only a Doctor but a true beautiful person that deserves many blessings for all you do!!!
How anyone can do these horrific things to innocent children is just beyond comprehension 💔💔💔
That was powerful testimony!
You're so pretty!😊

Please God HELP US In Jesus Name Amen
Several years ago a school shooting occurred at the high school I attended. Except this shooting was done by the school resource officer (also a local police officer) who shot and killed a deranged man who entered the school, following a student who was late getting there. The school immediately went into lock down and the resource officer confronted the man who was armed with guns and intent on using them, in the hallway. She tried at first to diffuse the situation but when she was unable to do so she shot & killed him before he could endanger anyone else. The school was Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN. The officers name is Carolyn Gudger, and in my hometown she is a hero. She is the perfect example of what a school resource officer should be. A courageous woman who did her job, putting her life on the line for the students/faculty she was hired to protect. I was very disappointed that there was not a lot of media attention surrounding this incident, except for locally of course. I just really wanted people to see what a difference having a well trained, courageous police officer who takes their promise to protect and serve seriously on campus can make in these situations
I can't imagine what doctors & first responders witnessed that day...GodBlessThemAll !!
not a whole lot considering they waited outside

What we need to see are photos of the children before AND after this carnage. Show this to the world and the politicians. The only way to make change is to have people face it head on and see what guns can do in the wrong hands.

Show it to the gun lobby NRA and their bought off politicians
You can look up pictures on the internet of AR 15 wounds/deaths/tissue damage, not of these victims but it gives an idea, I’m sure these sociopaths know what they do, they are spoken for by the NRA money that sponsors their campaigns and lifestyle (I know they are not supposed to get kickbacks, but they do).
Republicans first reaction when the heard of the school mass shooting.
1. Those poor children
or
2, OMG! I have to protect my guns!
😭🙏💔💔So glad you (Dr.)went to Congress to fight for change and standing up for all the children that lost their lives ❤️❤️❤️💔💔🙏🙏
A powerful and heartfelt message. My heart is so very sad.
❤️
Mine too 😞
Those law makers should have been the ones to clean up the bodies off floors! and to help identify the bodies and give the news to the parents! These law makers have signed a contract with the devil! and the only thing left is for them to feel the pain down to there souls! Karma takes it’s time to come around but eventually it does and will.
Excelente, Doctor.
Thank you....Thank you. Keep telling this story until we're heard. This has to stop.
Heart wrenching. Thank you Dr Guerreo
Anyone under 40 doesn’t know what it was like living in America without shooting massacres! That’s all they have known and grown up with since the late 1980s!!
Sad but true
I am beginning to see the police as just a hurdle
"We the people" must simply mow over to fix all
this rampant violence and crime we're seeing
everywhere.
"We" as a society should probably just start
blastin away at any "bad guys" doing bad things,
and not give calling cops a single thought till
after it's over.
Especially since they don't seem to be anything
any way when we do call them.
I called the cops recently on a neighbor screaming obscenities at me. Nothing done. I like your name!😊
@@angelaatwood46Cheers Angela 👍
It is; peculiar that the more society would like to solve the problem of gun violence; it happens; that the more exclusive the police participation in its expansion becomes a measure of its management; however misguided!
So, take heed when calling the police because not only are they the largest purveyors of gun violence; they walk your streets with the largest of military weapons and vehicles outfitted for military operations; and that is something which make an assault rifle too under prepared!
What a fantastic speach. If that didnt hit home to these politicians I dont know what will.
What if parents stop sending kids to school until something happens! Seriously! I left the US 6 years ago because I was afraid for my childrens safety. Teachers stop teaching do a zoom strike for your own safety.
Sadly, nothing of importance will change. Now people just have to wait 3 more years to get an assault rifle or whatever they're technically called...but only legally. There's plenty of guns on the streets already that these people can get at any age.
Abbott you tear that school down...NOW! And build another.
THAT'S THE VERY LEAST YOU CAN DO. STOP BEING A COWARD
Thank you for speaking up for teachers and students.
You are a great American, Dr. Guerrero.
who is the obvious distracted man in the pink tie….🤔
