Trump Says ‘Get Over It’ on Iowa School Shooting A day after a gunman killed a sixth grade student and wounded five other people at Perry High School northwest of Des Moines, Donald Trump returned to the state at a campaign event and told residents that they “have to get over it.” During his speech at Sioux Center, Iowa, the former president gave his thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families, emphasizing that “we’re really with you as much as anybody can be.” After stating the tragedy was “terrible” and “horrible,” Trump insisted: “We have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward.”
More confirmation that he is a total scumbag. There was a time when this event would have shocked the nation. That ship has sailed as we have, as a society become accustomed to and desensitized to this shit. # sad
I thought there was nothing new to say about these terrible incidents, but the worst of us found something new, going even lower
I'm going to give Trump the benefit of the doubt here. I think he meant they have to "get over it" in order to get ready for the next one...and the next one after that one...and the next one after those two...and the next one after those three...and the next one...
Iowa principal who risked his life to protect students during a high school shooting has died (wbaltv.com) An Iowa principal who put himself in harm's way to protect students during a school shooting earlier this month died Sunday, a funeral home confirmed. Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory confirmed the death of Perry High School Principal Dan Marburger after the family announced it on a GoFundMe page. Marburger was critically injured during the Jan. 4 attack, which began in the school's cafeteria as students were gathering for breakfast before class. An 11-year-old middle school student was killed in the shooting, and six other people were injured. The 17-year-old student who opened fire also died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. The day after the shooting, the state Department of Public Safety said Marburger "acted selflessly and placed himself in harm's way in an apparent effort to protect his students."
