Donald Trump Upstaged At School Shooting “Listening” Event By Father Of Victim

President Trump held a televised “listening session” today to discuss ways to keep schools safe following last week’s shooting in Parkland, Florida, when 17 people were killed, allegedly by 19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz, who purchased his AR-15 legally, though he is not old enough to buy a handgun in the state.

Among those attending were high school students sick of  the “thoughts and prayers” that came their way after last week’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, same as  the “thoughts and prayers” for the victims at Sandy Hook – and victims of the mass shooting at Columbine in Denver, which happened before the Parkland students were born.  Some of today’s participants were parents who lost children in both of those massacres, as well as Vice President Mike Pence and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

But by far the most impactful speaker was Andrew Pollack whose 18-year-old daughter Meadow was among those murdered.

“My daughter has no voice, she was murdered last week, and she was taken from us – shot nine times on the third floor,” Pollack said.
