Why isn’t more being done to stop the people harassing and stalking these poor people? They made a start with Alex Jones but it’s not enough more must be done.
It’s so horrible and tragic God bless him.
Very sad
Better look into gun control.
Awwwwwww....
My prayers for his family on their double loss.
God Bless him. I can't imagine how difficult was for him to deal with all that pain.
💔💔💔
Question: Is Alex Jones still claiming Sandy Hook is a hoax? That had to be pure torture for these families.
This is why the National call for responsible gun control exists. NRA, nobody is asking you to give up your rights and/or your guns. But, why should responsible gun owners need to protect maniacs insisting they need assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition adapters? 🤔😣🤘
💔
:(
Lack of gun restrictions and Alex Jones!! A father can only take so much...
Wow that's a lot of suicides recently that have school shooting connections.
That’s so sad, poor man 😥 he was obviously heart broken, poor family going through this, so cruel.
So sad too hear
Heartbreaking. New Zealand comes together and politicians take action immediately. U.S.-politicians send thoughts and prayers, Alex Jones whips up frenzy against the VICTIMS, and the rest are confronting yet another mass shooting within weeks.
Rip great kid
Heartbreaking 😢
He felt guilty for covering up the 2nd biggest hoax in American history behind the Russian collision voter fraud debacle.
This very bad news
Take heart
😭 this breaks my heart 💔
Heartbreaking. I hope he's found his way to his baby girl. So sad.
My condolence.
Somehow he saw how hopeless america is when it comes to gun control. Unlike New Zealand who knows how to take a stand. Condolence to the family who lost him and the baby girl. May they find themselves together in Heaven💖
Horrible tragedy
Heartbreaking 💔
There are no words. I can’t imagine nor would I want to imagine what he must have been going through. And now the rest of the family. So sad. Condolences to his loved ones who remain to pick up the pieces.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢💔
This breaks my heart.
So sad. The sudden death of a child in such a horrific incident, it's irrevokable and an inconsolable grief. May he R.I.P. WITH HIS LITTLE GIRL FOREVER.
The public should know this man was fighting for change in this country..the NRA has much to lose if America starts to implement restrictions on who and how you can purchase guns or even bans on some guns like New Zealand just did. suicide (killed)or silenced? God bless you!
Makes one realize we are all only families apart. Saddest news I have heard in a long time.
Truly heartbreaking for all of these families
So so sad.
thedavidcrosby We'd BETTER make sure it WAS a suicide. The Sandyhook law suit just had a major victory against the NRA's responsibility through their marketing strategy. Three gun massacre suicides in one wk might be the gun people trying to scare people.
Please... To those thinking of suicide, talk to someone, anyone... Contact me if there is nobody. Life is precious
OMG...Doesn't get any worse than this..Heartbreaking, 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

🙏🏽☹️
Apparent as in Clinton type suicide? Asking for a friend.
He will be missed in our community, another number to add to gun violence
I am so sorry for this family’s pain. I can’t imagine what they went through or what they had to keep going through. May he rest in heaven with his little girl. I pray for wife to have the strength to continue his passion.
Losing a loved one is hard enough itself but to lose your child so young got to be hard. I know grief comes in stages and no one knows how one is feeling on the inside.
Heart breaking. Grace & love to his family.
Either legit or was about to talk
My prayers to the family. God help us all. Wake of government and help the nation and get health care that works for us all.
So sad! Pls lets bring support to all involved in attemps such as Sandy Hook
+ MSNBC_Breaking WHY don’t you cover these topics LIVE, not just tweet. Encourage community support for survivors & family members? Other stories/topics deserve & need LIVE news focus, besides DT!😖 You ignore Opportunity to bring awareness & make a difference! Step Up!
So horribly sad ☹️
His level of grief. The frustration over the lack of movement on gun control. The obscenity of Alex Jones and his f'up conspiracy crap. I cannot imagine this poor man's pain. This is heart breaking.
😢
So heartbreaking all the way around. So sorry
Sad
Deep state trying to cover all tracks
Very sad. And the USA will do nothing about any automatic rifle legislation because the NRA controls the US Senate and the Exective Branch.
Please leave families like these alone. They lost a child, then a father, and now they have to see their names plastered all over the media. You think that this is making you look sympathetic to a cause, but you actually just look pathetic
So sad. Can not imagine the pain of loosing a child to such violence.
We’re’s Hillary ?
RIP
Suicide?
Personally, I doubt I would have had the strength to last six weeks after having a six year old daughter taken from me like this.
Wake up people
😭😭😭😭
Just had a 'shooter' scare at my daughter's uni, ended up being a 'targeted stabbing' that put 3 in hospital. That was heart wrenching enough even though it only touched her emotionally. I can't even imagine if the worst had happened. May he rest in peace with his daughter 😢
jesus christ. this poor mother. daughter murdered and husband kills himself. someone needs to ensure she gets the help she needs.
And?
Poor man. I think he just wanted to be with his daughter. How sad. I hope she is in his arms Right now.
This is heart breaking it not easy feeling helpless in certain incident with regards to your family that can really mash you up. RIP both of you
💔 Deepest sympathies to his family.
People are too busy with politics instead of creating supportive communities 😢. RIP🙏🏽
So sad. Just another case for stronger gun control laws.
If you are reading this right now and you are thinking about killing your self, please don’t. What ever your past, it doesn’t define your future. There are so many great people that need you to help them. People that need a friend that has been through something horrific.
This breaks my heart...
He never got over his daughters death. He must be suffering from PSTD
Way to suspicious to take at face value considering the circumstances
That's too bad. Suicide is not the answer. Now he has hurt more.
Absolutely terrible. Criminals not only harm victims lives but their relatives lives too.
💔
I cannot IMAGINE the pain he felt. May he rest peacefully with his sweet baby girl now. 💔
So sad 😞
I feel for his family. Alex Jones! You have blood on your hands. Shame on you.
RIP. Into the living arms of your baby ❤️😔
At peace ,god bless
This I'd another tragedy in itself may he Rest in peace he probably couldn't take it anymore so so sad....
To Jeremy’s beautiful wife, Jennifer Hensel, I hold in my heart. The world grieves with you for the loss of your child and your husband. We are your community. You are loved. From an Aussie
God love the poor man. The pain goes on. R.I.P
So very sad. Praying for his family for sure.
Sooooo sad!
REST IN POWER
Such a sad time. Prayers 🙏🏼
🙏🙏🙏❤
I donate monthly to this organization. Every bit helps!
Prayers
Saddest thing ever.
So sad to hear this!!
Keep voting republican.
Too sad, we need more gun control in this country. Why does an individual need more weapons than the military issues to each soldier?
A tragedie Rest In Peace Mr. Jeremy Richman.
So sad
Sometimes it’s too painful to carry on. RIP
G O D B L E S S
Breaks my heart. All those families and their babies. I can’t even imagine. I become so angry when thinking of those babies and how their lives were taken from them.
Actions have consequences, words have consequences and trauma ripples far and wide
So, so very sad....
This is too sad .. For all the lil angels of sandy hook .. to all the grieving families of the many senseless and tragic events ..my heart goes out to each and every one of you ..
We all need to come together & do more! Especially with the gun control laws & mental issues treatment!!
It’s so sad...😢
Oh no. So sad to hear about this.
OMG. The pain this man must have felt. RIP.
Terrible and so sad.
Sad
The SandyHook tragedy will have never-ending repercussions that the parents and politicians will never understand! GunControlNow
This is so so sad. How horrible for everyone involved.
Damn it. I just couldn’t imagine his pain. RIP Jeremy Richman.
😥 The bitter fruit will be blossoming for decades.
So heartbreaking .I hope all rest in peac
You felt compelled to share this with the World Mental Illness is not for sensationalism !!!
Jeez. Praying for these families and this community. So sad
mamma_ging 3 false flag victims committing suicide in 1 week? Please keep the others safe from being suicided by the cabal. The FF victims are important witnesses against the deep state cabal.
The tragedy continues and I weep for all this suffering. However, I also want to congratulate CNN for meeting exemplary journalistic standards in this report.
so heartbreaking
Good Lord. Unreal.
Wow
Covering their tracks
Damn, broken heart 💔
Omg how hard this is. It's all to much. My condolences to those he left behind to be w his daughter.
Well done America! It's only the cost of 'freedom' right? - Resigned and Weary, Rest of the World.
Actually there is some good news here which is the little girl’s spirit lives on as does this man’s. Hopefully they are together again and will remain so forever. theseconddeathcanbeavoided
BlueSt0rmRising Unbelievably tragic.
This is tragic...I've lost a child and know what it feels like to live with the loss now 23 years past, but I have never considered suicide. Suicide is a selfish act and a sin.
hope he is at peace
Many ? More going on here
This poor poor man! To lose a child & unable to heal over it. I feel so sad for family! This is insane! Something needs to be done! RIP Jeremy!
This is another very very sad 😢 story
Vegas attack witnesses were silenced. Suspicious not buying stories of suicide
Alex Jones will probably call this a hoax to
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss. I pray God brings you peace.
His daughter must be proud...
Maybe more gun control will stop mentally ill people from committing suicide.
As a descendant of slavery I’m proud of the endurance of my people
Sending prayers to his family 🙏🏻😢♥️
And nothing it’s been done. Nor for the victims or survivors and their families.
This is what happens to people with zero faith in the Heavenly Father
I'm not religious at all but I hope they are together again
Sad situation but liberal's need to realize it's not the guns fault. And it's sad after almost 3 years of constantly misleading the American people with lies. Your metwork is not even apologizing or holding the people that said it accountable for making your news fake! FakeNews
So sad the pain doesn't stop when the killings stop
The conspirators eliminating the evidence of the false flag attack amirite
After giving more than so many your now with your daughter,, your in gods hands now
QellyAnon The third “suicide” in a week.🤔
How long until Alex Jones says he was killed to keep quiet about the cover up?
💔
Research 'Project Orion' SandyHook
Awful 💔
Suicided by shotgun to the back of the head no doubt. It's all so tiresome...
We need to take whatever time and money it takes to stop these massacres. Stopping all these wasteful congressional investigations and using that money toward a solution would be a start.
Look at all the witness to the False Flags getting KILLED off one by one.
QellyAnon TS_SCI_MAJIC12 another suicide death-related to the 2 from parkland?
So much I want to say about this. But at this time, just feel sorry for him and his family.
This is not the aftermath of mass shooting. This is the intended consequence. Public narrative shift was needed after the recent blows. You are sheep to them.
So sad ..No words. Why can't we all be just human only.
~ help us all… this is too much.
God have mercy on his Soul , Only aparent can imagine the amount of pain that might have pushed him into this Act...😢😢😪😪...
Mmm sad. Suicide is never the answer.
Watch them blame this all on AlexJones, I bet CNN pundits are just licking their chops right now. allidoisowen Millie__Weaver
😞 do sad..RIP
😥😥😥
Alex Jones called it a hoax yet?
So sad
What the hell? 3 people within the span of 2 weeks dies of suicide. So sad. We need to help and check up on people, and make sure they’re all all right. This is heartbreaking
And don’t forget, Alex Jones tortured these families, trumps boy.
Man yall are getting played by the government.
A coincidence? I think not. Think people 3 suicides in the last week
There was probably not one hour that passed since the shooting where he didnt feel like he was being ripped apart by grief.
Peace and Love to this man & surviving family.
Very sad.
And still we do nothing. The federal and state governments must work together to come up with a solution. In the meantime, put something in place to help the survivors. How many more have to die?
This is just heartbreaking. The pain survivors of gun violence in this country endure daily is just so overwhelming. Why can’t this country do the right thing and follow the example of New Zealand, Australia and all other countries that have put in place sensible gun legislation?
RIP
Such a selfish act... Your family now gets to suffer again, I hope you rest in peace knowing that.
That's so sad, Rip
So very sad...
3 suicides in 1 week from past shooting incidents? That is crazy.
This is disgustingly sad. To know tgis government has done NOTHING from his tragedy, and can see how New Zealand reacted to their mass shooting has to be gut wrenching. Hope his family will stay strong.
Rest In Peace 😔🙏🏼
I hope he’s having a dance with his daughter in heaven. Rest In Peace poor man. Love to his family ❤️💔
Hmm. My condolences. This happened in 2012. Well into Obama’s Presidency. He did nothing to curtail this gun control issue we’re having today. BarackObama could very well have easily banned those weapons killing Americans in masses. Like Clinton did. It’s a ploy by Democrats.
😥
And?
This is sad news. And to see the speed and consensus for which New Zealand moved after their mass shooting versus the resistance and lack of urgency for the US gov't to deal with its mass shooting problem. Feels like the US gov't cares more about guns than their people GunReform
Life is simply so unfair, terrible at times. Must have been sheer hell, what he went through.
*Sighs*.......
Heartbreaking....
Don't look at Politicians......You have full capability to do everything. YOU ARE STILL SLEEPING. ......GET UP BROTHERS and SISTERS. ....WAKE UP...WAKE UP.....GOD ASKED ME TO WAKE YOU UP.
Better research is needed about trauma/ptsd. Not for the development of drugs, but for humanity. belongs to educational research, not pharma.
Social media is the worst place to look for comfort when grieving. My suggestion is to avoid it all all costs until u seek therapy in some way.
suicideprevention 🙏🙏🙏
I'm wondering how many other suicides have occurred after other mass shootings that have not been reported? The violent death of a loved one has ripples that affect other lives deeply. Survivors guilt is a big issue that needs to be addressed.
As Republicans take from mental health care.
So in the last week, there have been 3 suicides that stemmed from school shootings. Horrible...
May God reunite them both and let them rest in peace.
So sad. Bless all these families
Im sure this man fought as hard as he could everyday after the passing of his daughter. I'm so sorry
Jeremy was one of the finest individuals I was ever proud to call friend. He countered adversity with hope and concern for the mentally ill. My heart goes out to the family.
R.I.P. sir
Such a sad story.
So sad
