While the author did a ton of research and really dug deep her primary focus was on the deplorable people who call themselves TRUTHERS ( conspiracy theorists) but they are nothing more than troubled, sick individuals who are allowed to spew nonsense - The events at SH were so heinous and then for people to claim SH was a sham is just beyond cruel. My heart broke for the victims families but this book was not the tribute I was expecting. 👇🏽
Written by the journalist who wrote Columbine, I went into this expecting the same hard-hitting, deep dive he produced there. However, here Cullen focuses on the survivors of the Parkland tragedy & how the event spurred them to create a movement. While still emotional, & definitely inspirational, it didn‘t affect me quite the way his book on Columbine. I did learn new facts & am in awe of these teens (now mostly adults).
I clearly remember the afternoon of the shooting. Police sirens were screaming and it sounded like helicopters were on the rooftop of my apartment. Only a year ago we learned about another former student who killed himself, unable to deal with the trauma. Multiple kids… now adults… with suicide attempts… after experiencing this. No one needs automatic weapons besides our military. When the f*ck will laws acknowledge this? And I AM a gun owner.
Traces birth of March for Our Lives in the aftermath of the MSD school mass shooting. David Cullen‘s the media go-to analyst for school shootings, but he recognized that fewer people are concerned with the motive of the shooter. Instead, people are searching for solutions. Sadly, I don‘t think sensible solutions will be implemented in such a divided America. Still a powerful listen.
Hard subject matter but such a good & important book. I was a senior in college when Columbine happened & I remember the media coverage. I remember sitting in horror & watching it all unfold. Cullen was there from day 1 watching, reacting, trying to understand & then reporting on what was happening. He‘s dedicated his career to reporting about the horrors of school shootings that are way too common place in America. He‘s thoroughly investigated
