Default Students flee a mass shooter in powerful back-to-school ‘survival’ video

https://globalnews.ca/news/5918836/s...0Oiz8fqlAFA5aE

I figured this deserves it's own post...

Very unexpected, the last scene has me shaken up a bit still to be honest. I'm tearing up out of no where.

I'm on the side of support of this video, that changes need to be made, in the States. Not sure what or how, but this really really hits close to home, especially considering I have a child.

Sadly, if Sandy Hook didn't cause changes then nothing will.

America is messed up for good.

Nothing has gotten through to the gun nuts yet, but this commercial will definitely hit home lol.

Dude, those people are hopeless. I give it a day before they've come out with a video mocking or riffing off this one.

I get into such a rage about these shootings, I watched that video and my reaction was visceral.



In WW2, German's were forced to visit concentration camps and help bury the dead.



I would say that every school shooting that local members of the NRA are forced to tour the schools and look at the carnage caused by these weapons and be forced to confront the question of why the organization that they pay money to fights so hard to provide the weapons that lead to carnage.



They should be forced to clean the bodies of children and stand at the graveside and see what they've caused.


I mean if somebody isn't moved to change by that, then there's no humanity there in the first place.

I'm sorry to say, after Sandy Hook, no mass shooting will move me anymore.

Until anti-gun violence and gun-control groups have the same kind of financial clout as the NRA and others to provide lobbyists and funding to their position then the status quo will be maintained.

School shooting are just fake news from the lame stream media in an attempt to take our guns so when they rise up as our new socialist overlords, we can't fight back.
They can take my AR15 from my cold dead hands!.

I remember hearing about this episode, but never actually watched it before today. This is one of the most intense episodes of any TV show I can think of



I had no idea that Jared Keeso (Letterkenny) was in this either, that dude has some serious acting chops

^It's a pretty good show actually, but that's far and away the best episode. School shooting starts 7:25 minutes in

It's on Crave if anyone is interested

Good video and something that needs to be shown to everyone in that country. It's supposed to be an uncomfortable and controversial video. Because school shootings are exactly that.

Hopefully it hits home with more then a few people in that country. Likely isn't going to change anything. But at least it will get people talking.

Huckabee would rather take that kid's skateboard than take the gun from the shooter.
