As many i was brought to tears. Horrific story.

Nice article Mike, Thanks.

Mental illness seems to be overlooked in this country by many. I think we need to have a bigger discussion as a society about mental illness.

I heard the back half and cried. Need to go watch the first part too. School will be interesting tomorrow. I'm expecting a lock down drill sometime after break. I need to rehearse those procedures ASAP...

I had to pull my car over when a teacher was saying that she was telling her children to be very quiet because the bad guys were out there, and they couldn't make any noises until the good guys came.  I am so tired of this.  Children.  Little children.

Merry fucking Christmas.

The story that really got me is the teacher that was able to hide all of her kids in closets and under desks and then she didn't have a hiding spot for herself.  She told the gunman when he came in that the kids were in the gym and he killed her but didn't search the room to find any of the kids.  How incredibly horrifying.  :(

Oh my lord Ober that's terrifying.  I use to game plan in my head all the time about what I would do in case of that sort of lockdown.  I knew how the kids would fit in the closet, and if there might be time to put some of them in my office etc...but I never thought about what I might do if there wasn't a place for me....

God Bless that young lady....

How will the NRA respond to this one? "We should have armed guards in every vehicle in America!"
