I can’t watch the video. Gun violence hits me too hard, even after years of therapy & being on/off medication.
Can someone summarize, please?
I don't understand your response at all. This video isn't a joke.Is this video a joke? A Saturday Night Live clip? This campaign should be ashamed of themselves.
Children have a higher chance of being killed on the ride to school than from a mass school shooting. If national news posted that, this video would joke about children learning to drive at age 8 or ways of surviving an automobile accident using school supplies.
Thank you. I accidentally caught the end of it anyway while reading an article & it was not what I wanted to see.I understand. I almost did not watch. I would not recommend this video to you.
To summarize it shows students having to use ordinary items for ways to survive a school mass shooting. For example, using a new skateboard to break windows to escape, new tennis shoes to be able to flee, scissors and pens as weapons to fight back, new socks as tourniquet, and cellphone to call parents to say 'I love you'.
It is graphic and jarring so I cannot say it is a commercial that needs to be all over all media. I could see using the video to campaign against the NRA to toughen up laws/rules regarding gun purchases. ( adult only assembly)
My school is formerly open space & my classroom (along with two others) only has 3.5 walls and no doors. Getting full walls/doors involves approval and begging money from a district that hasn’t even addressed lead pipes in schools. I’ve been told point blank that I have a better chance of seeing pigs fly. (Windows also don’t open or are covered in metal grating)@LavenderMint
Yes, working in schools these days...you have to really pay attention...
What thoughts do you have that you think won't help changes? We need all the ideas we can get.
Yes, my first paragraph asked if this video a joke. It's made in very poor taste so it must be a joke. I cannot take that mess seriously.I don't understand your response at all. This video isn't a joke.
Why should they be ashamed of themselves? Their kids were literally murdered by a gunman.
Just because people die at a higher rate b/c of something else doesn't make this less true. Should people ignore police brutality b/c people have a higher chance of dying b/c of heart disease?

My second paragraph is a FYI.
ETA: I watched again. It looks like a comedy sketch! My head is spinning. This cannot be real life if this is taken seriously. I'll step back and let things be as they were.
We are in trouble.
ETA2: So I went to YouTube to watch the video to see if I am alone. "Video is disabled for comments." I feel a little better. Carry on.
