Trump’s delivered his remarks heard in the video during a 2024 presidential campaign speech at Terrace View Event Center in Sioux Center, Iowa.
“Before going further, I want to send our support and our deepest sympathies to the victims and families touched by the terrible school shooting yesterday in Perry, Iowa. To the entire community: We love you, we pray for you and we ask God to heal and comfort really the whole state and the pain that you have. This is something that’s very unique to your state. We’re really with you, as much as anybody can be. It’s a very terrible thing that happened. And it’s just terrible to see that happening. It’s just terrible. So surprising to see it here. BUT, WE HAVE TO GET OVER IT. WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD. We have to move forward. But, to the relatives and to all of the people that are so devastated right now, to a point they can’t breathe, they can’t live, we are with you all the way. We’re with you and we love you and cherish you.” – NBC
“… FORDYCE, Ark. (AP) — A steady rain was falling outside Fordyce High School, but that didn’t deter an army of volunteers who raced to hand out jugs of milk and bags of groceries to a line of cars snaked around the parking lot.
In the days since a shooter killed four people and injured 10 others at the Mad Butcher grocery, this town of 3,200 people has been grieving and grappling with the shock of a mass killing. But the community has also faced the void left by the temporary closure of its only grocery store.
While the Mad Butcher’s workers have been cleaning up from the aftermath of the violence in the south Arkansas store, residents have few nearby alternatives. Though the town has a Walmart and discount retailers with some food options, the closest grocery stores or supermarkets are located in neighboring cities at least half an hour away.
“A lot of people don’t have the ability to get there or elderly people don’t want to go that far,” said Darrin Brazil, the school’s basketball coach, who organized the food pickup with two former classmates. “We just want to do that for the community for help people that really need that.”

Police have not given a motive for the shooting. Travis Eugene Posey, 44, pleaded not guilty this week to four counts of capital murder and ten counts of attempted capital murder and is being held in a neighboring county’s jail without bond. Posey was injured after a shootout with police officers who responded to the attack, authorities said.
Police have said Posey was armed with a handgun and a shotgun, and multiple gunshot victims were found in the store and its parking lot. Authorities have said Posey did not appear to have a personal connection to any of the victims. …"
Most estimates show between 350-400 MILLION guns in the United States…guns are not the problem. If they were the issue, there would be a lot more dead people, fortunately gun owners are generally much more responsible.
Obviously the above does not pertain to the criminal elements amongst us…Some of the problems mass media skips right over?1 – Liberal politicians thinking they can control people are a problem2 – Politicians making “gun free” zone that makes it easy for a person to obtain their 15 minutes of fame in order to ease their defective brain/mental issue3 – Failure to hold parents accountable for their actions (or inactions) when it comes to ensuring their child can operate in society4 – Politicians failing to enforce the hundreds of current gun laws already on the books5 – Politicians making it easier for the criminal element to make their “cash-free” bail to get back out on the street and offend again6 – Societal issues where offenders are protected by their neighbors against “the man”7 – Liberals trying to “defund the police”8 – Failure of our healthcare system to detect, treat, and/or confine those with mental issues9 – Whiny liberals trying to strip the 2nd Amendment from our lives to make even more of us victims10 – You never see an anti-gun politician travel without security staff, just another hypocrite overlooked by the mass media

A candlelight vigil to honor lives taken needlessly.
How do we stop violence? By teaching people to honor lives, not guns.
