CNN's Adrienne Broaddus speaks with Oxford High School student JaVon Pittman and his family about the shooting that left at least four of his classmates dead and several others injured.
The dad crying really hit me... the realization that he is his son’s hero vs. the realization that he can’t protect his son from the cruelness of this world.
The cruelness of this world?? No, you are wrong. The fucked up belief in the US that guns are more important than these kids. No where else is it like this. Nowhere.
This hit me hard. When a man cries, you know the feelings are definitely real. Not to downplay a woman, but men are usually strong and they don't display their feelings, let alone, cry. Especially in public.
I think his parents deserve some focus though. They're the argument against all these gun nuts saying they teach their kids how to be responsible and then buy them guns as fucking gifts.
@UCv0UyNMpagH0t6qjLg9F6dQ fr dude it's the kids fault 100% the parents could've done a better job but its the kids fault. Another person desribed him as always depressed and I'm pretty sure he's been bullied and the school system does nothing when you're getting bullied.
@@Kotekz1it’s not messed up the point of the meme is that the dad laughed not laughing at the kids that are dead.were making fun of the dad for laughing during such a moment
That's a deep and reflective thought...loss is inevitable we never know just when it will happen it scary and daunting and something we can never prepare for. Be blessed.
This just happened a few months ago when that black student got beat up and pulled his gun and shot seven people plus his teacher but you don’t hear about that Because he was black and the country is antiwhite
I agree!! It’s supposed to be the other way around. We’re supposed to bury our parents or grandparents not them burying us. This is sad and reminds me of that story I heard about the Columbine school shooting years ago. I couldn’t help but cry when the dad did and when he found out his classmate died.
I know it’s sucks and is so tragic. Frankly no one should have to experience this at any age but it is life. Life sucks. It’ll only make these poor kids stronger. ❤️
im just a 12 year old rapper from michigan and my brother was one of the people shot and killed 💔😔 would really apprecieate if you would give me a chance or give feedback . . . . bg
@@TheGoldenDuckies😢 am trying to fight n hide my tears in public for this incident. Am so sorry for your loss and what happened to the students. 🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
When the reporter asked him why he called his father. Is it because he’s your hero and he replied yes and his father broke down is when I lost it. It’s so incredibly insane for children to have to deal with this type of trauma. America has got to do better.
Hi guys I hope youll read this and open your heart.. So, I remember my fears of death. However, I saw that the 10 commandments are God's law. As most people know, we all have broken them. I realized at a time, that I had lied, which made me a liar. I had stolen, which made me a thief. I had blasphemed God's name and used it as a curse word. The God who gave me life and created my DNA, I disrespected immensely with blasphemy. I thought I hadn't committed adultery. But Jesus said that even looking with lust is adultery with the heart in Jesus eyes. So wow, I was also an adulterer. I realized, if God judged me by the 10 commandments, I would be guilty. What about you? Have you broken God's law too? I thought since I was a supposedly "good person" I would go to heaven. But the bible says, "Most men will proclaim each his own goodness" meaning we all can defend our goodness. "I'm not as bad as that person! Well look at hitler! I give homeless people money"!But see, that wouldn't work in a court of law. If a man committed a crime like murder and tells the judge "Judge, yes I'm guilty, but I'm a good person. I help my family, I donate to charity, and I'll do better!" If the judge is a good judge, would he let the criminal go? No. He would say "I'm judging your crime not your good works. And of course you should do those things and of course you should be better. You're going to jail!" Well God is a perfect judge. He is just and the only righteous and holy being. He also not only knows our crimes, but our thoughts and hearts. So I would be guilty and deserve hell because its either be with God (goodness comes from God so heaven) or be an enemy to good and be separated from Him and all good (hell). But, He sent His only begotten son to die on the cross bcuz he's also merciful. But you may not know this: The 10 commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke the law, Jesus paid our fine. Thats why when He died, he cried out "it is finished!" Meaning the debt had been paid for us to accept. And He died then rose again and defeated death and what you have to do to receive reconciliation is to have your heart changed. We cant do that, we arent God. But He can do that. Seek Him and ask for reconciliation. He loves you. Most of us are like a person standing at the edge of a plane and we know we have to jump. And this is our plan: we'll flap our arms and save ourselves. Don't do that! Trust the parachute! Truly truly seeking God for reconciliation is belief because its believing He can answer. We cant give sin up but God will handle it if you seek reconciliation. Be humble and ask for His mercy. Once you truly do this, God will grant you everlasting life in heaven with Him as your father! And He will also give you a brand new heart that desires righteousness because of your faith. That is being born again. You will know you have been saved and that Jesus is your savior💕

seeing a someone break down because their friend died has got to be one of the worst things ever. imagine what he’s going through right now bro, as soon as i saw him break down i did too
I still do 10 yrs later, Everytime I think of him. Have a friend named Justin, murdered. I still can't believe it. I miss my friend. He was a great loving and caring funny young man, who always kept everyone laughing and the biggest smile on his face. I know the feeling and it still feels the same 10 years later, oddly enough.
What is the point of your comment? Like honestly, so uncalled for. Insensitive much? This is a tragedy, not a thing to joke about. I would like to see you joke If that happened to your family and they were literally broken in pieces. Because of people like you, the world is messed up.
749 likes for this. Are you kidding me? As a country, you have repeatedly failed to protect children from gun shootings. If you all really cared, you would do something about it. Instead, just more thoughts and prayers. How is that working out for American school students?
@@andrewmason8691 When the people who run this country/hold power don't listen to us and couldn't give less of a shit about us, there's only so much we regular citizens can do. Most of the schools in my area have started adding metal detectors and bag checks upon entry. These politicians don't want to and probably never will ban guns fully. The lives lost are just a number to them, and thoughts and prayers are clearly more convenient than keeping our kids alive.
The poor dad. His son called him to save him. I couldn’t imagine a worst most helpless feeling. Knowing that even if he went as fast a he could as big and strong as he looked he may not have been able to help his baby. This is heartbreaking
The interviewers did that on purpose, they held that a information just to give it to him during the interview to film his reaction. This made makes me sick.
The son, dad, mother emotions interview touched my heart💔 it's sad but we can try to protect our children with all we have, just can't protect them from evil people that roam the earth. Prayers up for all the families ❤💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🧡🌹🥀🌺💐🌷⚘💐🌻
I’m soo sorry for these kids & parents. My heart goes out to them worrying about you’re kids going to school & could be shot at. Really hits you hard seeing the young boy & his family crying when they found out Justin was killed- It seemed the school was taking necessary options- but it didn’t go as planned! We need to do better for our kids!💔
SAID IN.A DEEP SOUTHERN ACCENT ,,,,," DAT GUM IT A MINI VAN CAN KILL ,,, SO WHAT 193 OOO KIDS WERE SHOT SINCE 1963 ,,,ALL THAT MATTERS IS OUR GUNS AND OUR LORD AND SAVIOR DONALD JOHN TRUMP THE REAL CHOSEN ONE DAT GUM IT !!!!!!!!!!!!
Same as a mother or father...that right there broke me apart..fear within itself is when you can't get to them quick enough to protect them....whew....Lord give us mercy.
This happened to me, my nephew had to hide in a closet when the parkland,FL school shooting happened. He was 5 yrs old, he’s now scared of school. The pandemic was best time of his life, cause he didn’t have to go to school.
Him calling his dad a hero got me, he really did save his kid and that hit him really hard to reality as the other parents didn't have a chance or know what was happening at the school while their kids perished

That mom looked in shock. . You could see how she was realizing someone else's baby was gone and then hers starts to cry out..wow a heavy heart watching that.
12 kids die every single day to guns. the leading cause of death among american children is gun violence. 300,000 kids have been exposed to school shootings in the past 20 years. 4.1 million american kids live in a home with a loaded and unlocked gun.
3:55 You can peep the father tryna crack a grin and chuckle 😂😂. He out here battlin' for his giggle. The mama even shot him a glance, like, "What's goin' on with dude?"
Caillou didn't deserve a punishment day on his birthday, and neither did Dora! It's all the fault of both Harry Strack The GoAnimator and Roku Kun The Vyonder! I wish that those two users get a Community Guidelines Strike for distributing these videos! When you both say that you don't support child abuse, you both are lying because you both do!
@JewsAre DestroyingWhiteNations Watch it yourself.. Look at the freaking comments on this post🙄 Everyone seen the young man & his father cry. Idk what you can't see.. But 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@blackcattennessee2730 I agree there were tears and these people who say there were no tears do not realize that the piece was edited or stopped until they were able to compose themselves and go back to the interview. Such heartless people in the entire chat!
The kid saying "justin, no!" And then saying "I knew Justin." Was gut-wrenching. I couldn't imagine the pain that he and the victim's parents/family went through. God Bless all of the people who were there in that school.
@@Lena25786 or maybe parents shouldn’t let their children have access to weapons unless under supervision. I believe the parents should be sent to prison for letting their child have a pistol
Andrea, you are not alone. I had zero connection with my father - he did nothing in life that made me feel proud or glad he was my father - and I hate to admit that, but it's the truth. Don't let this fact with your father harm you.
He called his dad to rescue him. I cannot imagine what was going through his father’s mind at that time, knowing that there’s a chance he might not make it in time to rescue his son. This is devastating!
I fkg cried my eyes out when the kid broke down and even more when the father did after being called his son's superhero. What a great father! I hope these kids feel better one day and that the memory of those who died lives on forever in that school. RIP, darlings!
This Life Were Living Has To Be The Most Horrific Day Afternoon Evening 💔 God Help Us All At These Traumps ,Tribulations Its No Brainerd What's Possibly Happened Next Death ,Killing Human Love Ones Children. My Heart Is Just Broken Blessing And Prayers For All The Family's Friends 🙏 The Students Must Get. ASAP Counseling. ENOUGH Lord Jesus Our Father Jesus Chris Help This SAD World That We Have To Run Duck Cry Out For Help Get Killed And Be On Life Support Because They Went To School Or Work, Lord Jesus Have Mercy Thank You Father Our Lord Jesus 🙏 Stop The Violence .
And they are one of the “lucky” ones because their kid came out alive, but still they are never going to be the same. There are way more than 4 victims in this shooting
Inspiration lol no Inspiration is not jumping on the interview band wagon of 15 min of fame. Like the teen who wasn't at school and his mom who drove up to Meijer just to be interview. Or the 2 sister's and their fake interview.
@@JustGre3d reading people is so hard for some these days i see. Its clear he was holding in crying himself, trying to distance himself not to break himself on cameras
@@kptmaci4979 Yeah clearly it’s difficult for you to see that dude is cracking up lol. It’s ok tho reading people is so hard for some people these days.
I started crying the moment this young kind hearted guy started crying for his friends 💔😭 It’s so sad. I don’t know what else to say it’s just devastating:(
@@alexgibb8406 you've been so gaslighted & brainwashed, you need to look around for yourself, before passing along the ridiculous, worn- out hear-say that's not accurate.
@@FlowerGirl.MN50 You've been gaslighted back- ass-words, It's almost always without exception DEMOCRAT officials in charge that fail deliberately to do they're jobs, resulting in innocent people being sacrificed not "Republicans" . it's not "Republican" Mayors where cities are being ravaged by goons packing- up like mad dogs and destroying those cities & sacrificing innocent people trapped there. Democrats have demonstrated repeatedly that they only care about children when they can use them for a political wedge of some sort and then they abandon children, like they abandoned any other group once they feel they don't need them anymore.
But can you imagine that father's fear and heart when his son called saying there was a shooter and he is his sons hero. It is a great feeling but I also think he was feeling helpless cause like he said not being able to save your kids when you would rather take any harm rwther than they but you have no control over it thats the worst feeling and why I think he was crying.
@@oX313Xo yea her “knowing that our kids love us the most wonderful feeling” demonstrates it went right over her head 🙄 she’s looking at it through a self-centered point of view(picturing herself and what she would be thinking in that moment) as some sort of ‘look at me, I’m special bc my kid loves me moment’ rather then seeing it as the heartbreaking realization that it was for that man.
@@oX313Xo I agree, I felt the fathers tears were because he was powerless in that situation scared to death for his child. You can tell they're a good family I hope everyone pulls through this.

@@TheGoldenDuckies I am so sorry and disgusted that this occurred. So sorry you lost your brother! I am happy Ethan and his horrible parents are in jail, I don't think they will wiggle out of this. Write a rap song to honor your brother.
but it does because Americans care more about their guns a bit of material, then real lives sad weirdos, isn’t having a gun as a right suppose to save lives then why do Americans keep getting killed from mass shootings?
As a mother of 6 minor children, a mother's heart is never at ease since the time she conceives. She always worries about her children, until the day she dies. She will never be the same. I'm asleep, yet awake since I first gave birth. I could be asleep, yet my heart and ears are always awake. My condolences to the victims and their families.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this as well. I never really thought about how much of an impact having children actually has on a mother as well. Thank you.
@@Wulfahlicious Same. I’m definitely gonna appreciate the moments when my mom is maybe being “overly protective” or nagging me to do the smallest of things lol.
When that kid started crying out “Justin no” my heart literally broke 💔 I don’t understand what goes through someone’s mind to do something so evil 🥺 these kids are never gonna forget what happened that day. UPDATE ( the hate comments can go elsewhere, negativity is the reason we are where we are today. Be kind )
"We're not taking that risk right now." Those babies were so scared that they weren't willing to accept help from the authorities! This is just heartwrenching.😔
actually the killer was outside that door impersonating a sheriff!! the kids figured out it wasn’t a sheriff when he said “bro” and then all the students left from the back door to safety-
@@honorablesquid I don't know anything about that, but either way, they weren't opening that door because they were too scared. That was the focus of my comment.

@@OregonCrow I enjoy being sad? Grow the fuck up. Feeling sadness for people who lost their lives way too young, and for the people that were impacted by those deaths doesn’t mean I feel the need to be apart of something or need something to do with my time. Let alone that I enjoy sadness. You can’t down grade someone who just has compassion for those around them. Maybe learn from that and carry some with yourself.
It broke my heart hearing him crying like that😭i lost my best friend in a fight when we were 13 yrs old, i remember when they told me he died from a kick on his neck i almost die right there with him.
Its OK he brought his son with him to buy the gun??? And his mom posted on FB it was his Xmas present🤮😡🤬🤬 No pity for thess crazies! What you should be saying is the poor parents that lost their children😭
When this young man started crying after learning another friend passed away did me in, my heart was in my throat. No young person should have to go through something like this. My thoughts and prayers are with this young man, the families of those who died and were wounded, friends, teachers and authorities dealing with this tragedy. 😢💔
"There's some parents that, that room is going to be empty." That's actually heartbreaking and devastating that no one should have to say. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go towards those harmed and killed in the shootings along with the students and parents of the students. RIP.
Yep. An empty chair at the dinner table, presents that won't be opened at Christmas. Hold you loved ones close, you never know when you will lose them.
Showing the victims won't do anything good. The priority should be to determine what systemic academic changes need to be made and why the killer committed the terrorist act. Every couple of years I see the same loop repeat. The dude murders a bunch of people, they show the victims on the news, the murderer gets imprisoned and then the same thing happens with another mf.
@@thewafen763 yes, but they know how the News present the serial killers face in the tv and how relevant they become... i honestly remember more names of masive shooters than heroes. Why? Because the News just put the crazy people face on it! I dont care about them or if they have psicological problems, they are killers! We don't need to know them!, the police need to know them
The dad bought the gun for his underage son and the mom texted him at the start of the shooting with "Don't do it", so these "parents" knew that their kid was whack and didn't stop it. Yeah, lock them up too.
Sadly those involuntarily manslaughter charges against the parents will be thrown out if it goes to trial, they may get them for lesser charges but the main charges won't stick.
This is not applicable for all cases. But i get your point. But some kids are just born fuckups not necessarily the parents fault. Specially if its only one child out 4 siblings as an example that my be fucked up but all the rest are golden kids
I lost it when JaVon started crying. This is absolutely heartbreaking. There have been many school shootings but this one stands out to me. This could have been so easily prevented.
Some family structure suck... this dad is so manly he can not console his son right there in pain. Fk the dam cameras man your son is in pain he just lost a close friend be there for him. Some dad you want to clock them in the face. You want a hard son look no further than the state prison. Or worse a shooter.
@@My2CentsYall I don't like what you said at all, no part of it makes sense. Dad was on his way to get his son, if that's not consoling and so John Wayne hero stuff, I don't know what would to u, yes I do, Kyle 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔coup
That whole family felt the pain of losing those two other students, because they spent considerable time at the family’s home…weekly dinners, sleepovers and such.
This is absolutely devastating on so many levels. All parents should fear what is happening to all of these young minds. PTSD has acquired a new generation of victims. How truly sad for All of Us.
