Grieving mother of Florida victim demands President Trump ‘do something’

However, when he was pressed on it, he caved. But let’s have a conversation about how we destroy ISIS. “He wasn’t old enough to buy a beer legally in your state, you’ve got to be 21 years old”.

In a recurring nightmare that appalls millions of Americans and is unfathomable overseas, the Florida carnage was the 18th USA school shooting since January 1.

Scott said it’s something they have to “look at” and that their goal is “school safety”. “Because if you don’t think we need to do something about it, you’re obviously mentally ill”.

Trump, speaking to the American people from the Diplomatic Reception Room, labeled the killing of 17 students and teachers “terrible violence, hatred and evil” while calling for a change in the ‘culture’. “And not think this will never happen to us because this is happening with way too much regularity”, said Holland. More than $500,000 of that was collected in just nine hours. You say that after every one of these eight now fatal school shootings we’ve had in the USA this year.

“I want to speak now directly to America’s children, especially those who feel lost, alone, confused or even scared: I want you to know that you are never alone and you never will be”, he said. You like to say this is a mental health issue.

Speaking at a press conference held in Parkland Thursday, FBI agent Rob Lasky said the agency investigated a YouTube comment published in 2017 under the name of “Nikolas Cruz” that claimed “I’m going to be a professional school shooter” on the site. “Because you said it after Vegas, you said it after Sandy Hook, you say that after every one of these – eight, now – fatal school shootings we had in this country this year”.

But the White House spokesman dismissed “the notion that we can somehow ban weapons”.

The vice president says, “then as now, our hearts were broken”.

This is an issue that goes well beyond the borders of the United States. He made no mention of the scourge of gun violence.

Surely the president was actually referring to Congress – after all these years of mass shootings – for failing to do anything about gun control. “Everything’s on the table”.

“I’m fighting for all these kids here”.

But Blitzer pressed him on it again.

The National Rifle Association approved of Trump’s action.

“If a solution was simple for these things, we would have found one already”, she said.

“Our children are writing to us. No guns under 21”, read one sign. Many schools now have “active shooter” drills, starting as early as kindergarten. “And that’s what our community and all of us are crying out for: Actions need to take place to stop this from happening”.
