CNN: “Chances are, you’re never ever going to have to use this. If you do, it’s gonna be scary,” trauma nurse Kate Carleton told the 8- and 9-year-olds. “But because we’ve taught you what to do, it makes it a little less scary.”

Born from the tragedy of gun violence, this program teaches children how to stop a wound from bleeding out | CNNwww.cnn.com “Stop the Bleed” turns bystanders — even young children — into immediate responders by teaching them to pack a wound and use a tourniquet.

if you find yourself normalizing mass shootings to this degree, something is very very very wrong.

this was such a stupid idea i was sure it was the local police department.

Only the police would conceive something this idiotic and so obviously traumatizing.

that's what I thought!! it's a good hearted but irresponsible nurse tho

☝️

I’ve been through this ******* training myself 3 times. Likely a 4th when I go to my next school district.

America is irreparable!

I fucking hope not. I live in America. 😩

Well there was your first mistake

Yeah, I should’ve been born to different parents at least… 🤔

That was definitely one of my mistakes

This is so disturbing. Traumatizing children so grown men can believe their delusional fanfic about themselves that they are big tough heroes waiting for their good guy with a gun moment.

The year is 2060. I am a trauma nurse. The person on the train next to me is a trauma nurse. The president is a trauma nurse. The only people who aren't trauma nurses are the ones who become shooters. I briefly bask in my freedom briefly and am shot. An 8-year-old is my trauma nurse.

This is an admission that these children can’t rely on adults for help, even if they’re injured or dying This is incredibly grim

The cops are busy collecting overtime pay outside. You absolutely can't expect them to help

'pRoTeCt oUr ChIlDrEn' Cool. When's that gonna actually start, you complete frauds?

This is an election issue meaning it won't be solved because then you couldn't run on solving it. There are A LOT of those nowadays.

Zero evidence this makes a difference. High likelihood this simply traumatizes kids for no reason.

Fuck the 2nd amendment and every psychotic, sociopathic, ammo-sexual asswipe who supports it.

Oh my God, we are so far gone. We’re not gonna stop shooting each other, so here kids, learn how to dress a field wound.

If anyone ever tries to make my child endure this training I will lose my shit to a degree heretofore unseen

The trauma they make kids endure these days to avoid doing the right thing on guns

Endlessly maddening.

Exactly. The ACPS 'bad guy drills' were infuriating enough, but if I still lived there and heard about anything like this I'd be cursing up a storm.

The first time my then-kindergartener referred to the GW Masonic Memorial as "the place we're supposed to run if a bad guy comes into the school" I had a wee mental breakdown

Right: _how_ did we enter a reality in which a kindergartner needs to drill repeatedly to know that? How? Who do I fight?

Wait - if a bad guy comes into school they are going to have a kindergartner run a half mile?!

Yes!!

You forgot to add HEARTWARMING

dystopian country.

Absolutely. There’s no need to wait for Max Max vehicular combat to recognize we are already in a dystopia.

with republicans in charge - this is only the beginning of suffering redloraine.wixsite.com/website/post...

My life shows the world of abuse that republicans want for us allredloraine.wixsite.com My very first memory, the decayed brick work upon which I balance the rest of my days, is of tussling with my caramel and chocolate colored pit-bull named Bella, in a dusty, spartan backyard in cookie...

All the more reason not to let Republicans win any race.

Have they considered making the copy of the Ten Commandments in the classroom bullet proof.

This is not normal and it shouldn’t be. Gun violence is preventable. Children dying from gun violence is unacceptable and we need to do everything in our power to fight children being shot as okay.

American Exceptionalism

Fuck this country

Very normal country that teaches children how to be combat medics.

I feel horrified and sick at the idea that my nieces and nephew might ever have to learn this. If they were living here in Canada there'd be nothing to fear. First aid skills would be great, but school shootings just don't fucking happen here! They'd be safe! America, get your shit together!

you are a monstrous organization staffed by cretins and ghouls

Love living in a failed country

Stop trying to make this terrifying shit "uplifting".

This terrifying shit is reality. Adults should know what to do in a mass shooting event as well. It will never be any other way in America.

And that's one of the reasons that I don't have any desire to visit the US anymore. It doesn't feel safe in so many ways

It’s not going to change. That ship has sailed.

It just seems to get continually worse

Next we will have 5 year olds trained on how to help deliver their 11 year old sister’s baby. Cuz Christian-fascist ‘Merica

This is such a disgrace. There is something very broken with our nation thanks to the gun-worshippers in our homes, in our legislatures, and on SCOTUS. Our future looks bleak as long as this continues. It's sickening that 376 police officers were afraid to confront a single 18 year old shooter.
