Those parents lost little kids! It's bad enough that I lost my 20 year old, but I had 20 years with my son! That's all I'll ever have, but those people lost their children at 6 or 7 years old. How do you think they feel?! And who's talking to them now? Who's doing anything for them now? Who's standing up for those kids who died back then? In an elementary school! Why wasn't something done? It's outrageous!"
