Veronica Escobar (D-El Paso) said just now on CNN

[SHRED]

"There is graphic video floating around the internet and I urge people not to view it". I'm paraphrasing.


Why?
America needs to see what their weak gun laws produce I believe.

1. Not necessarily if its the shooter's attempting a live-stream.

3. The video was not coming from the shooter

It was from a cell phone of a terrified person in the parking lot.

5. Because people don't need to see their loved ones dead/dying on national tv. nt

7. We need to respect the families of the victims.

Even if it's for the sake of an anti-gun message, I have issues with parading around images and videos that can deeply affect the respective family. They may not even know the status of their loved one and then see a video of their bloody corpse.

8. She's wrong.

Among the reasons these things happen so readily is that almost no one ever sees exactly what horrific damage guns do to human bodies.

I have long said that if we'd seen only one of the children at Sandy Hook, maybe then gun laws would have been enacted.

I don't know what it's like to lose a loved one, regardless of age, to gun violence. But I hope if that happened I'd be strong enough to let the world see what happened.

Never forget Emmett Tills's mother had the courage to do just that.
