Texas school shooting victim's mother says talking to Trump "like talking to a toddler"
CBS "News" ^ | June 1, 2018 | by Associated Press

HOUSTON -- President Donald Trump spent more than an hour privately Thursday with some of those impacted by a Texas mass school shooting that killed 10 and wounded more than a dozen on May 18. But at least one of the victim's parents came away unimpressed.

Rhonda Hart, whose 14-year-old daughter, Kimberly Vaughan, was killed at the school, told The Associated Press that Mr. Trump repeatedly used the word "wacky" to describe the shooter and the trench coat he wore. She said she told Mr. Trump, "Maybe if everyone had access to mental health care, we wouldn't be in the situation."

Hart, an Army veteran, said she also suggested employing veterans as sentinels in schools. She said Mr. Trump responded, "And arm them?" She replied, "No," but said Mr. Trump "kept mentioning" arming classroom teachers. "It was like talking to a toddler," Hart said.

So then why do you want them there? Does this idiot not KNOW WHAT A SENTINEL IS FOR?

Just because she’s at “veteran” that nonsense was supposed to sound like it came from Patton?

and no comments from the other parents who thought he was caring and committed to helping....more propaganda from a never Trumper who hates the President.

So if he had tried to psychoanalyze the kid, instead of saying ‘wacko’ he’d be erudite and a genius. And if he did nothing but pay lip service to the issues, he’d be Obama.

If you won’t defend your children, then don’t come crying to me when they are gone, because I will not give one single f***, lady.

Shall we add some context?

http://cw35.com/news/local/santa-fe-shooting-survivors-share-their-stories-with-texas-governor

Rhonda Hart, a military veteran whose daughter Kimberly Vaughan was killed in the Santa Fe shooting, has been outspoken this week on the need for more gun control. She wasn’t invited to the meetings this week.

“You should have to wait a week, have counseling and walk through lines of protesters who tell you you’re a murderer” to buy a gun, Hart said.

Sounds like this ungrateful woman is the toddler. Using unarmed army veterans as shooting targets? Brilliant.

”Hart, an Army veteran, said she also suggested employing veterans as sentinels in schools. She said Mr. Trump responded, "And arm them?" She replied, "No,"...”

With that brilliant plan, the “sentinels” will just become the first victims in any attack. The left never learns. Even after losing her daughter, this lefty mother can’t bring herself to let common sense override her political agenda.

Pamela Stanich - whose 17-year-old son, Jared Black, was among the eight students killed - was one of the parents who met with Mr. Trump, presenting him with a family statement and a copy of her son's eulogy.

Trump "met with us privately and showed sincerity, compassion, and concern on making our schools safer across the nation," she wrote in a Facebook post after the meeting. "He spent time talking to the survivors and asking on what happened and what would have made a difference. Changes are coming for the good. Thank you Mr. Trump."

Of course this parent's comments couldn't be quoted in the headline...

I absolutely despise the media in this country.

Yeah, an unarmed sentinel will do exactly what besides getting blown away?

” “It was like talking to a toddler,” Hart said.”

Liberals are toddlers. There is no making sense to them, including that childish liberal who thinks banning guns means there will be no killings.

She must have missed the implementation of Obamacare.

I wasn’t aware that people have no access to mental health care.

So they can stand in the hall and alert the victims that an attack is in progress?

TSA harden schools. One access, metal detectors, armed police at access point.
City and police should be leading the effort to protect students or are they too busy protesting my 2A Rights?

Try to suggest that for women who wants to abort their baby.

So a sentinel... but not one that can actually do much of anything. Sort of like a hall monitor.

Another psycho leftist who plays with words. Calling people murderers who aren’t. Idiot.

How’s that Gun Free Zone working out for you? or Obama’s lunatic school policies of shielding problem kids?

If she is intellectually superior to Trump (as she suggests)...where is her $10 Billion?

Pretty much tells you all you need to know about that person. I am sorry her daughter was murdered, but that is as far as it goes.

Period.
