I'll never click on the video because the OP couldn't be fucking bothered to provide the LEAST bit of context of what it was about.

I guess it didn't matter enough. Whatever, I guess.

"This video takes a sobering turn..." then I have to click on a link to what's likely a monetized account.

Like I said, I guess it didn't really matter enough.

Do better.

The main point is how the story the mom tells has a poignant twist. Giving more info defeats the entire message.

BTW It's a video posted on Twitter

For future generations....I don't understand how this can be reality.
Soul crushing.

What a sad sign of our times and definitely worth the couple few minutes to watch.

How completely sad that a second grader had to decide how to keep her horse safe if there was a mass shooting at her school. She chose to keep her horse home. That is not a choice open to our children.

It went in a totally unexpected direction. I like that I didn’t know where it was headed, it was a mystery.

Thank you for posting. It’s a sad reminder of what our kids have to think about.
