My child never returned home from the fourth grade because people in Texas love guns over children…So, if you’re wondering how life in a red state is …..
This time, four months ago, It was a normal day. I was at my office getting a booklet made for each of my coworkers that would show their growth in their skills to help get them raises. 2 hours from then, I’d get a call that would shatter my world. My wife called, screaming
devastating. But I have to fight. And I will not stop until real change has been made, and even then I will continue. Our kids deserve better. We deserve better. It’s been 4 months!
Today is not a good day. I can't stop crying. I hurt so fucking bad. I try so damn hard to not fall apart but every day it gets harder. I push my feelings down and put on a mask. I'm not just the pissed off dad. I'm the broken dad. The dad that is in excruciating pain because
@GregAbbott_TX
Hey buddy, remember me? I’m the father of a Uvalde Victim (I know, you don’t know any of their names “off the top of your head”) I had the honor of calling your ass out yesterday, outside your lovely tax payer funded mansion and on the steps of our gorgeous
It’s been 4 months. And nothings changed. Nobody is being held accountable. Nothing has been done. Us parents should be at home grieving to the fullest, yet we are having to fight every entity imaginable. I’m exhausted. I break down. I have panic attacks that are
my world crumbled. They had made a liar out of me. I always tell my kids that I will protect them and nothing could stop me. I was made a liar, by the school system, by the cops, and by that piece of shit shooter. I snuck out the back to avoid media and went and grabbed my car.
While tomorrow is the one year mark of the Robb Elementary Massacre in Uvalde, today around 10 P.M. is the last time I saw Uzi, as I told him to go to bed, ruffled his hair and told him I loved him. I didn’t see him on the 24th as I left for work before the kids got up for school
You’re so far from the truth.
She arrived without media, and did tell them to leave that she wasn’t there for them. She has also kept in contact with my wife.
You know who did show up with cameras?
@McConaughey
did.
And
@GregAbbott_TX
only asked to go to our kids funerals…
Let’s not forget when
#MeghanMarkle
took her cameras to a literal CRIME SCENE, 3 days after the mass murder of children. Using Uvalde to raise her profile & get press. But she’s a hUmAniTariAn. You want to pay respects? Be respectful & leave the cameras.
#MeghanMarkleIsAJoke
I picked my wife up at the back, and drove home. A 3 minute drive I had to figure out how I was going to tell my other kids that their brother wasn’t coming home. My grief is incomparable to the moment I had to tell them. Some dropped to their knees, one ran to the backyard
One helped me hold the little ones. The wail of my daughter is a sound that stays with me, just the same as hearing the shots. Its the unimaginable. The wail that informed the world that she was broken. Then a daze came. The next few days I don’t remember much except for sitting
Dreaded. Then we hear Greg Abbott on FB confirming 14 deaths, and as we looked around the civic center, you start noticing 13 other families. I knew. At 7:30 to 8 we got called back to another room. I knew. To hear the words “I’m sorry but Uziyah didn’t make it.” is the moment
Your child is murdered. Your community cries. Support comes in from all over the world. Your community claims they’re UvaldeStrong. Baseball and basketball games, free events, bikes, parks. Your community relishes it.
You fight for accountability. Your community goes quiet.
I called my other 10 yo and asked him to call his friends to see if they had heard from Uzi. He said they hadn’t but had heard it was Uzi’s teacher that was shot. I knew. I knew then that my little boy wasn’t coming home. I knew that I was going to receive the news I had always
“There’s a shooter at Uzi’s school.” I told my lead I had to go as I was running to my car. As I hauled ass towards the school, I got another call. “He’s in the fourth grade hallway, and I can’t get ahold of Uzi!” The shots rang through my phone as my wife was telling me this.
on my porch running reporters off. It’s a daze that still comes over me at times, as I try to escape reality for a few moments just to come crashing back down with the reality that my little boy will never walk back in this house.
By the time I made it to town I received a third call. “They aren’t letting us see or get the kids, go to the civic center.” I headed there, not knowing it would be 8 hours of sitting and hoping. As bus loads of children got off, Uzi’s class never made it.
10 months ago, at this moment, my son was hopping on the bus to enjoy his final week at school. He was excited to earn his first ever A-B honor roll. An excitement taken from him mere hours later as a gunman entered his school and took his life, 18 classmates and 2 teachers.
Yeah, I was arrested today for saying “fuck” in a county commissioner’s meeting. Took about 3 hours before they could actually find something to charge me with. Finally charged me with Disrupting a meeting or procession.
It’s kind of funny that everyone wants to throw around…
It’s been 5 months since the unthinkable happened. 5 months since since my boy walked out of the front door, jumped on the bus, went to school and never returned. 5 months of a pain that is incomparable if you haven’t experienced it for yourself. 5 months since my family and my
My little girl is now all grown up and engaged to her college sweetheart.
I am proud of the young woman she has become, the relationships she has built, and the future for her and her fiancé.
That you can’t even fart without them knowing. You claim to be prolife but you’re just pro forced birth, because as soon as they are out of the womb you don’t give two shits. You’d rather obstruct womans rights and not save childrens lives than to piss off Daddy NRA!!
#fuckabbott
I’m heartbroken. My wife has always loved Mother’s Day. We share the same thought that our children are our greatest accomplishments.
And she’s dreading tomorrow to come.
This will be her first Mother’s Day without Uzi.
It’s unbearable to see the pain in her eyes as she
People are more outraged that I say fuck than the fact that kids can buy fucking assault weapons that took my sons life. The same people were cool with a fucking President saying grab em by the pussy, but holy shit, I say fuck and I’m the bad guy.
Capital!! I wanted to let you know that I guess we just missed each other, while you’re campaigning your bullshit and refusing to call a special session to move the age to 21 to buy an assault rifle….You know, the kind that murdered my son and his 18 classmates and two teachers.
Now here is where it gets interesting, Gregory, I dare you to make a liar out of me. Call for a special session, show me to be a liar. Or you can continue what you are doing and continue to prove that you are chicken shit and Big Gun and the NRA have their hand so far up your ass

It is very apparent you do not know what AR15'S can do. Do you even know how many different calibers they can be chambered for? The 5.56 is one of the smallest, and yet people like you seem to think it is the equivalent of a 120mm tank round. You really need to educate yourself..
I may stand alone in my thoughts as the Washington Post introduces new photos of the Robb Elementary Massacre, the shooting that took my son Uziyah’s life.
With nothing but love and respect to every family out there, from anybody who lost a loved one at our shooting, to the…
I'm about to be as open, raw, and real as I can be. Since losing Uzi on May 24th, I am not the same person. I daily fight all 5 stages of grief simultaneously. Unless you've lived it, you'll never expect that denial and acceptance can coexist. I wake up every morning hoping
Well fuck the gifts. Fuck the money. Fuck the exposure. Fuck you because I’d trade every fucking thing I’ve ever owned for 5 more minutes with my son. We will not stop fighting for our children and teachers. Hate it or love it, but you fucked with the wrong parents.
See, I informed everybody what you told me face to face..That you won’t, and that had a bill been in place it wouldn’t have stopped what happened in Uvalde.
6 months since our world was shattered, and I’m supposed to “celebrate the holidays.” How do you celebrate when your devastated. How do you give thanks, when you have nothing left to give. How do you fake it and smile when you wake up crying.
I hate this.
Uzi's gone. The dad that hates waking up because it's another day to face this agonizing truth. I fucking hate it. My soul, my whole being, died with Uzi, and I will never be the person I once was, ever again. My closest friends are others who lost their children, they know
It’s been 298 days since my son, his classmates and teachers were murdered. 17 others injured.
It’s abundantly clear:
@tedcruz
turns a blind eye to mass shootings as long as his pockets are lined.
You ignorant loaf of bread.
It’s been 3 years since a smug and gleeful Anthony Fauci casually called to shut down bars, restaurants, and gyms.
It’s abundantly clear: Fauci is the most destructive bureaucrat in American history.

I’m trying so hard not to break today.
I know that life isn’t fair, but the fact is, it’s down right cruel.
I hate this life with out him.
I hate this world with out him.
Hug your babies, because you never know WHEN you will end up in this position.
It’s been 271 days since you were robbed from us. Not a day goes by that I don’t ache, and wish it would have been me instead. You were the one that brightened our lives, it’s been dark since you’ve been gone. I love and miss you Uzi.
Just got kicked out of the capital because they said I was too loud.
This is just another fucking attempt to slow and stop us.
2744 may have died tonight, but we will never stop!
Texas fucked with the wrong parents!
BREAKING: State troopers just escorted

. Bill would raise the age to buy assault-style weapons
19 children’s backpacks. Two teachers totes. All placed outside the front doors of the administration building. These lives are who we are fighting for and I’m gonna make damn sure that this administration remembers them.
You fight for transparency. Your community tells you to shut up.
You fight for your son, his classmates and every other child to make sure they grow up. Your community votes in a man with blood on his hands that could have prevented this tragedy in the wake of the last one.
I don't want to exist, and not in a suicidal way. I'm just tired of hurting. I'm exhausted. But I can't and wont stop. I have to be "the pissed off dad" version of myself, because I can't stand to know that there will inevitably be more parents that end up in our shoes.
I hate that my life is in shambles and as much as I try to take a step forward, I get knocked backwards two...Cliche, I know.
I just want to feel happiness again. I want to feel the warmth of the sunlight instead of the coldness that has consumed me.
CNN: Parents in Uvalde,TX said the DOJ report should have named names of the law enforcement officers who did not stop the shooter from killing their children in May 2022. They say the officers should be terminated and prosecuted.

I just saw a video of governor Abbott talking about why we can’t raise the age to 21 to buy the gun that an 18 year old piece of shit killed my son with. Behind him there were parents holding up signs that said “parents matter”. But the Uvalde parents don’t matter to him.
Your community takes Uvalde Strong and turns it into Uvalde Sit down, Shut up, and relish the free gifts. Your community rages about the national compassion fund because “everyone” was affected. Your community shows that one white mans retirement means more to them than justice.
Something that has haunted me this past year. As the Rangers asked what he was wearing, I didn’t know and had to ask my wife.
A year today since I heard his voice, heard him say I love you, heard him bound up the stairs.
A year since I saw his contagious smile.
We will never stop. We will never cower. You may hit us hard. You may have us step back a few feet and recuperate, but goddamnit the fire that burns in us to save all children can not be doused. Those who oppose us will have nightmares. We will creep into your every thought.
how this feels but I feel selfish if I say that I can't handle today. I want to call my mom, but don't want to burden her at work, because I know if my children called me at work explaining they felt like how I do now, I'd drop everything and put my job on the line.
I hate myself. I hate myself for all of the missed opportunities that I took for granted. I hate that I poured blood sweat and tears into a job that inevitably proved to me that I was just another cog in the machine and has let me go.

Announcing today a statewide plan to ban TikTok.

5:30. Still here. An employee of the school, whom I won’t name, brought me this cup of coffee with tears in their eyes. It’s interactions like this that let me know that the callousness lies specifically in that of the superintendent and school board.
Holidays have sucked since May 24th. This one is the hardest. Our last holiday with Uzi. The excitement and joy you see in his eyes was the epitome of who he was. That joy is no longer here, it was wiped from all of us.
Enjoy everyday with your babies, and celebrate everyday.
Sure wish I could have taken my son to see the Astros win the World Series….Oh That’s right, he was slaughtered…While you sit there and enjoy these games while supporting bills that lead to easier access for these fucks to obtain these weapons.
Fuck you, you ignorant loaf.
My son will never get to have another Halloween. He will never get the chance to vote. You could have stepped in after Santa Fe, instead you made it easier for sick fucks. Fuck you.
This Friday the 31’st. Let’s come together as a nation to make these politicians do something about our babies being murdered in school. It doesn’t matter if we agree on the AR15 ban. We can all agree that children should not be mowed down in schools.
Let’s fucking go!!!!
We had to force it but they voted to get HB2744 out of committee!!
Uzi, this is for you!
Our 21 angels, this is for you!
1st step but WE ARE NOT DONE!!!!
Hey
@GregAbbott_TX
, 19 sets of parents visited their childrens graves this morning instead of dropping them off for the first day of 5th grade. 2 teachers were not able to greet their happy students. 21 lives were lost. What more do you need before you call a special session?!
You want to talk about unsung heroes? Why won’t you mention the 2 heroes who died for our children? Say their names! Irma Garcia! Eva Mireles!
These heroes did what nobody else had the balls to do! They fought until the very end to protect our babies!!!!
Great night in Houston with Brandon Judd &
@BPUnion
.
America’s Border Patrol agents are the unsung heroes of our nation, putting their lives on the line to protect our border.
While Washington leaves our Border Patrol agents undermanned & underfunded, Texas has their backs.
You know what back to school season brings us? Memories that our children died a gruesome horrific death and you did absolutely nothing except tell us that “it could have been worse”.
No special session.
No holding YOUR police force accountable.
Lying through your teeth.
Your…
Back to School season brings back fond memories with Audrey.
Good luck to our Texas students and teachers heading back to school.
No doubt you will make us, and your parents, proud this year.
I'd like to address something. Something that is extremely frivolous in the grand scheme of things, yet something people keep trying to bring up. No, Uzi was not my biological child. Biologically he was my nephew on my wifes side. But he was my son, I was raising him.
I hope that you all have a great Easter.
For us, we can’t.
Easter was the last holiday we had with Uzi.
His smile was pure light.
His laughter was contagious.
His presence was love.
That’s all gone now.
We will never be the same.
I don’t get to have a “happy new year”
I don’t get to have a resolution that could actually come true.
All I want is my son back.
There isn’t a “new year new me”
My life forever changed on May 24’th 2022.
All I want is my son back
While I hope you all have a better year,
It’s been 9 months to the day since our kids were taken from us.
9 months since I’ve heard my sons voice.
9 months since I saw him.
9 months since I hugged him.
9 months my kids haven’t had their brother.

Uzi’s bench and headstone came in today.
I love how beautiful and perfect for him they came out, but devastated that this is still our reality.
He loved his holidays, so we had to decorate for him.
Everybody, I can not thank all of you enough for the kind words, encouragement, hope, and keeping me in your thoughts that you all displayed yesterday, and continue to. I have read every comment, every message, and seen every like, and I will do my damndest to acknowledge

Amazing news. This will set a precedent.
Now lock up your fucking guns, or you to will be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter if your child commits these heinous acts.
My son made it through the pandemic just fine. Know what he didn’t make it through? Fourth grade, because ignorant fucks like you choose to address a real issue that is the number one killer of children.
I need y’all’s help.

Hey Ted, you should stop by 1000 N Getty, here in Uvalde and talk to the parents of victims and survivors. We are here. We are demanding action from our school. Either show up and show out or sit down and shut up.

False outrage? My son was murdered, you vacuous imbecile.
Maybe you and the other insipid twats that want to spew you’re ignorant rhetoric on my page can get together, rub the two braincells y’all have combined, roll it sideways, and stick it up your ass.
Today was historic. After years of tears and carnage, we finally got the Office of Gun Violence Prevention! Thank you to all who have fought along with us, those who joined this fight before us, and those who didn’t get to see this day.
This is for our kids.

Where do you go to scream and yell? I can’t in my own house because I don’t want my other kids to worry. It’s been 9 years to the day since I lost my son Seth due to being premature. Almost 6 months since I lost Uzi. This fucking weight is crushing me.
This is the bullshit that myself and other parents of school shootings receive, constantly.
I’m not looking for pity, just showing this to educate everyone.
This shit doesn’t bother me, but it does bother others.
There’s a lot of evil in this world.
10 months of this nightmare. 10 months of fighting so YOU don’t have to go through this. Keep Uzi, his classmates and the two teachers that heroically gave their lives. They payed the ultimate price, by simply going to school on May 24th.
