TY for putting forth legislation so that juries no longer need unanimity to recommend the death penalty in Florida. No one else should experience the injustice inflicted upon the 17 Parkland families after he received LIP.
For the past eight years, authorities in Franklin County, Ohio, have adopted a different way of teaching the community how to respond to an active shooter situation – “avoid, deny, defense.”
11,000 cases of chicken wings were ordered and picked up in a district cargo van during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, students were learning remotely, yet the district continued serving meals that parents could pick up.
Body cam footage reveals Hemphill fired a Taser at Nichols and saying, “One of them prongs hit the bastard.” Later, Hemphill says to another officer: “I hope they stomp his ass.”
I had to pause watching the Tyre Nichols video several X because it was so horrible. Every law enforcement officer should watch It. This should never have happened!
Zwerner sent the text about an hour before she was shot, writing that the student said he had a gun in his backpack and Richneck administrators weren’t helping.
SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING “82% of plots were averted in schools because someone came forward and shared a concerning communication they heard by the plotter.” -
“Over the course of a few hours, three different times – three times – school administration was warned by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had a gun on him at the school and was threatening people,”
It’s hard to imagine that it’ll be 5 years since Parkland… please stay tuned for our upcoming February Fundraiser.

conference room filled with the 17 families; waiting to find out if we would ever see our loved ones again. 7 hours later I received the worst news of my life, that I needed to start planning Alex’s funeral.
Nearly five years after the Parkland school massacre, some police departments still don’t have policies in place for stopping mass shooters. But a state panel on Friday moved closer to making it a requirement to have such policies in place across Florida.
The father who sexually and psychologically manipulated a group of college students for years after moving into his daughter’s college dorm room in New York was sentenced to 60 years in prison Friday, according to the US Department of Justice.
"If Aaron Feis had a gun. I believe that Alex and the 16 others would still be alive today. So I'm a big supporter of the Guardian program. It's a force multiplier. And I certainly support every school district implementing and using it," said Schachter.

"What we're looking to do is maybe put a few people through that training program that would appear to be well-credentialed with either a military or law enforcement background&allow us to get a more in-depth, first-hand view of the training…”
Uvalde school police chief Pedro "Pete" Arredondo told investigators he was more concerned about saving students in other classrooms than trying to stop a gunman who had already shot children and teachers.
