So very, very sad. Multiple parties are responsible for failing these children.

Guarantee that if every school shooting ends up with a multi billion dollar lawsuit against the state, THAT’S what’s gonna get the gun control laws moving. When it effects the wallet that’s when things happen.

Everytown On what grounds? Background checks are required by law, that couldn't be it. The gun distributor can't read minds, so that can't be factor.

Everytown You’d think her lawyers would have told her that police have zero obligation to protect anyone.

Everytown Frivolous. Why don’t you sue the shooter, you know the one that did it?!

Everytown Every parent. For every school shooting. Every time

I hope she forces change!!!

...it's NOT about getting rich off a child's death|loved one. It's about making someone ACCOUNTABLE for this horrific tragedy! That being said, she should be suing SCHOOL DISTRICT. She should ALSO SUE for the CHILD'S AGE to remind them what they STOLE from EliahnaTorres⚘️

I'm not saying these people aren't in pain, but why try to get rich off of your kids/loved ones death? Makes no sense unless they see it fitting they can replace these kids love with money. No money could ever take the place of my babies or anyone that I love.

That is good I hope more people join you

😷

So by this logic I can sue every knife manufacturer thats ever produced a blade used in a murder?

She won't win against gun distributors. They have no control how the weapons are used. She should sue the family of the shooter. But she probably knows they have no money.

The first step towards a settlement. It seems well deserved. I can't even imagine what those parents are going through.

Actors

I hope she is able to hold these people accountable. My heart goes out to all the families, but be mad at the people. It's not the guns fault it was being used by a psychopath.

Who is paying the lawyer bills? That sets the agenda.

Looking for a payday off a tragedy is in bad taste

It seems to me that whoever was in command at the scene should be liable for having officers just standing around for over an hour before going in.

The local government and cowardly officers are to blame for not immediate going in and using the weapons the gun manufacturers she is also suing !

peterdaou she has a case against the cops and local government, but trying to sue gun manufacturers is silly, you don't go after Chevy after someone mows down a crowd in a Suburban, you recognize that the driver misused their product.

So can we sue covid vax manufacturers, or car manufacturers, or knife manufacturers or does that just apply to gun manufacturers

Democrats don’t reach out and speak to Latinos/Hispanics, Beto and team couldn’t have reached out more and Abbott/Republicans still got their vote 🗳️ the mouthpieces need to be the ones out there! Abbott didn’t leave the door open but he sure blocked families from the truth,

She should be filing against the democrats and we need to find who is paying who to do these shootings for their propaganda agenda death to America.

I still suffer from a burn scar I received by a maniac with a lighter. Time Bic pays up.

Agree with everything but the gun manufacturers , Listen people they have nothing to do with it , it's the human beings, whats next the car companies , knife manufacturers , getting real stupid !

It’s a shame when a parent uses the death of their child in an attempt to extort money.

Even with this tragedy UVALDE VOTED 🗳️FOR ABBOTT and REPUBLICANS.

I cant judge the first responders I wasnt there and neither were any of you. Many times we see responders pulled back bcuz its too dangerous, or waiting for details or the right equipment. They have families too. Look at those who died on 9/11 their families suffered too.

So Who is grooming her? Blood money

I'm sorry for the loss all the familys have to deal with. Blaming the manufacturer of any product is wrong. People can kill with vehicles, knives, hammers. Timothy McVeigh killed hundreds with fertilizer n Deisel fuel, in a truck. Only the people are guilty not the tools the use

There is no tragedy you will not exploit to further your agenda, it's gross. Only tyrants want to take peoples guns away.

Good for her !!!!!

Once again, not news. Just more messaging. And look, your reach is smaller than ever. Almost as if the people stopped listening 🤔

If only the door hadn’t been left unlocked.

I understand everything but the gun distributors, why?

I wonder why the state governments aren't suing the federal government. Amen

I think small actions like this will dispel the idea of ​​gun society in America. We mourn the souls of the victims of the Uvalde mass shooting. RIP Amen

Go get ‘em!!!!

She needs to add the parents of the monster who chose to commit the horrible act. They are just as responsible as their son, should be imprisoned for life.

Dirty Rotten Lawyers looking to make a buck taking advantage of a grieving mother.,

The authorities in this case should be charged with manslaughter.

Gun distributors🙄 That'll go super far n stuff

GOOD 🔥
