Uvalde School Massacre - Some Mothers Want Pictures Shown

I know we've had some discussion about posting pictures of the aftermaths of the school shootings. There are positions on both sides of the issue and I'll admit I've moderated my position a bit reading some of the opinions. I'll side with the "Do it if the parents are OK with it" position these days.

CNN has an article out this morning.

Mothers wanted to watch horrific footage of their children escaping the Robb Elementary massacre. Here’s why we showed them. And why they want others to see

The article is gut-wrenching...

Warning: There are pictures of kids being brought out of the school after the massacre. I look at the eyes of these victims and my heart breaks. The last one of the little girl on the school bus covered in blood from head to toe. She's alive... but the eyes. She's the one who rolled around in the blood and played dead so she wouldn't be shot. I'll never forget it.

tear human flesh apart and explodes it. There should be a ban on these weapons nationwide.

Shotguns and handguns are work for home protetion just fine, and hunters have had hunting rifles for forever.

Remember the description a survivor or the recent Texas mall shooting said what he found when he turned over a young woman who had been shot to see her face and if she was alive...all he found was brain matter where her face used to be.

Banned assault war weapons from our streets.
