Everyone calling that armed deputy at Florida school a coward, tho: He had only a handgun. The shooter had an AR-15 assault weapon.
Like, he knew it was absolutely suicide. He made an informed decision. The decision a lot of people would have made, if we’re honest.
Scapegoating the guy and blaming him for all this is just unfair and cruel.
« You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life. »

that grew together, roots entwined.”
