Colorado school shooting survivor said he’d ‘go down fighting.’ He’s 12.

By Marisa Iati Marisa Iati Email Bio Follow May 9 at 3:18 PM The sixth-grader stood outside his Colorado charter school, one arm wrapped around his dad, while he described how he had planned to try to thwart an active shooter.

Some people bemoaned Nate’s apparent loss of innocence; others said the video segment was proof that American society had failed Nate and other kids like him. One person said he looked “impossibly young.” “Is this what we’ve become?” asked a pediatrician in Missouri. “A nation that relies on our children to lay down their lives for one another as we do nothing? Not ok.”

“I think we’re somewhat creating this,” Trump said, by spreading conflicting information during school safety planning. Districts often struggle to decide whether to focus on lockdowns, mental health, security cameras or other tools for dealing with such shootings, he said. “I have sensitive ears, so they shot out the doors, and I heard the gunshots and I just kind of froze,” Nate said.

It only takes 3 seconds for AthenaSecure to identify a drawn gun. Schools can add this technology to their existing security cameras. The Al Noor Mosque is currently working with them to add gundetection to their place of worship.

That’s what freedom sounds like? Time to provide pediatric pistols? Thank you gun culture!

BoSnerdley Can we stop with this ‘lockdown’ virtue signaling? Attack with weapons at hand, whether school home church office. Warriors when ambushed by other warriors aren’t trained to ‘shelter in place’ or go to ‘lockdown’ STEMshooting 2A

There is no constitutional gun control law that is EVER going to prevent someone intent on getting one from acquiring a handgun (as used in the most recent shooting) so we MUST look at security and other solutions.

Doe he know American government and parents have left him and his classmates vulnerable by not requiring TSA style security in all schools.

Brave kid !

no control, just big guys still wanting nrA money

NRA - 'If he can hold a bat, he can hold an AR-15'.

The fact that a child feels the need to say those words, or that another has to die in order to save his schoolmates is utterly heartbreaking. The fact that many adults can actually live with the prospect of it happening *again and again* is fucked up beyond belief.

NRA - 'That's the spirit, get that young man a gun so he's not having to use a bat'.

America ,The land of the the Brave ...kids ! Learn adults !

Piss POOR PARENTING AMERICA...

Unconscionable that in the United States we put children in a position to say this. We are a nation of horrible people to have let this happen.

How come we adults are putting this 12 y.o. In this life and death decision. Poor kids.

Hatssoff to the child
