[malaise]

on CNN now

[alfie]

1. now saying 16 shot, 2 dead. eom

[malaise]

3. No 16 dead 14 injured

AR15

Was shooting outside and inside

[milestogo]

7. The number of dead may go up if that many are wounded.

[malaise]

26. Yes

I feel it for the parents and loved ones.

[FM123]

22. Death at hospital, now 17 dead.

No way of knowing how many more at hospital won't make it. This is just surreal.

[mitch96]

53. "Now 17 Dead"

17 young people's blood sacrifice to the NRA gods..... Is it worth and for what.. Profit???
When will it be enough??? Im heart sick.. This is about 20 miles from me.. it hurts..
m

[FM123]

54. It does hurt. Really really hurt.

Local news just said that twelve of the bodies remain in the school building and have not yet been removed. The picture of that in my mind is just crushing me.

[mcar]

2. ...

[SoCalMusicLover]

4. Well, That Might Be Enough For 2 Days National Coverage

Perhaps the networks will actually have to send anchors down to cover this.

I can't wait until they spend the next few days asking "WHY"

[dhill926]

5. goddammit!

[GulfCoast66]

6. Which is the shithole country again?

[malaise]

8. Now I understand why the Con was on the thoughts and prayers train so quickly

WTF!!

[NutmegYankee]

9. OMG!

It doesn't stop.

[spanone]

10. ...

[malaise]

11. Now I understand the urgency of that tweet

Good effin' grief

[GoCubsGo]

12. Randi Rhodes played one of the kid's Snapchat videos on her show.

A bunch of the students were Snapchatting the whole thing, which have since been removed. Randi saved some of them, and played one. You could hear the gun going off in the background as they huddled in their classroom in sheer terror. Fucking horrifying. But, not half as horrifying as the fact that NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING is going to be done about this.

[malaise]

14. I hope many of them were saved

It's the only way to stop this

[GoCubsGo]

16. It sounds like Randi has a bunch of them.

Not sure what she will do with them, or whether she'll make any of them available.

[malaise]

25. Local 10 Florida just showed one of them

Damn!

[FM123]

27. Yes I am watching Calvin Hughes on channel 10 too. I am just stunned here in Broward county.

[malaise]

29. I can just imagine

17 dead and that number is expected to rise

[FM123]

32. And just this morning I was so happy because we flipped a seat blue in the special election.

Then in just hours, the pendulum swings the other way in just the most horrific way.

[malaise]

38. It messed up plans my Florida folks had for tonight

Can't take much more of this crap

[MontanaMama]

30. This has to be horrifying for your community.

I’m so sorry.

[FM123]

35. Thank you. It is horrifying, for not just our community but our whole country.

[MontanaMama]

36. Yes.

Trying to explain it yet again to my 12 year old. Words are getting harder to come by.

[malaise]

39. True but isn't this the biggest school shooting in Florida history?

;cry:

[Volaris]

31. That video should be played in the well of the fucking Congress,

Projected on the side of NRA headquarters and every state capitol building and played on every news screen in America tonight.
Yes, we should play politics with this. Fuck them I want them made to SEE it, and then be made to publicly DEFEND IT.
I want a line drawn. 'Either you're with us, or you're against us', ending this. The government has my vote and my empowerment to yes, come and get these fucking guns.

[malaise]

40. +1,000 n/t

[Volaris]

50. Not that I'd want it to be this way Mal,

But if we NAME this one the valentines day massacre, and MAKE THEM SAY IT, we might get somewhere finally.
Kellyanne can shove bowling green back down her worthless craw where it came from.

[malaise]

52. I'm with you on this

It has to be stopped

[Hoyt]

13. How long before gunners show up to tell us their favorite rifles are not used often in shootings?

[malaise]

15. 3...2...1

Remember now it's too early to discuss banning weapons - just thoughts and prayers

[mitch96]

55. "Remember now it's too early to discuss banning weapons"

Shit just ban the ammo...
m

[malaise]

56. Tweety is talking about this right now n/t

[Motley13]

17. 17

[malaise]

19. Just changed it

[Motley13]

18. AR 15 rifle

[dalton99a]

20. Damn.

[Tatiana]

21. This is an OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When do we start boycotting businesses, Congresscritters, etc. that don't support common sense gun control measures?????

Enough is enough, dammit!!!!!!!!!!!

[joshcryer]

23. It will go higher.

Once the lockdown happens it is very difficult to get out and to get help. I feel like we're going to have to readdress lockdown procedures in cases like this. It seems counterintuitive but so many survived in Vegas because they were able to escape and get themselves to hospitals. Imagine being shot and bleeding and a lockdown commences and you can't get help for 4 hours.

[Motley13]

24. Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, maybe it will dawn on you what 2nd amendment really means

Not to arm everyone with guns that can shoot dozens of people

And it isn't "stand your ground" as in Trayvon Martin

[Motley13]

28. this is also a place that is relatively crime free

so no one is immune from gun violence

[suffragette]

33. Again and again and again.

[Initech]

34. 18 school shootings this year.

And hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of gun deaths that have gone unreported in the last two - 3 years. Dare we start using the H word yet? Because that's what this is becoming.

[smirkymonkey]

46. And we are only halfway through February!

What a sick, sick nation we are! But god forbid we have ANY restrictions or background checks when it comes to guns.

[Initech]

49. I really wonder if other nations use the H word to describe our gun violence?

I won't use it because that would imply it, but it feels like that's what is happening. When we have to be reminded that any time, anywhere can erupt into an "active shooter" situation, it's a serious problem. And we have an insane pro-gun organization that has infiltrated our government, aided and abetted by Russia, that is allowing it to happen.

[guillaumeb]

37. Will they say that this is the price of freedom?

[malaise]

42. Freedom to watch your children killed

in school

[guillaumeb]

44. Arm the children. Body armor and weapons.

Total insanity. Complete and total insanity.

[oasis]

41. Wake up America, the NRA is sacrificing your children to their gun gods. nt

[underpants]

43. Nikolas Cruz from Instagram via FB

[guillaumeb]

45. A moron.

And the poster child for the necessity of gun regulation.

[malaise]

47. But he had the freedom to pose with his guns and make threats

because the NRA owns politicians. Sadly some of the relatives of those dead kids and school employees choose guns over their own right to life.

[guillaumeb]

48. All about the freedom.

Trump should explain that to the parents of the dead children.

[gopiscrap]

51. this is so damn horrible

and it happens again and again, why? greed, paranoia and a lust for power

[brewens]

57. Not to worry. The pervert in chief and FOX "News" can declare it "fake news" so we don't have to

know it anymore.
