This happened when my oldest boy was 3 and he was really into Superman. When I saw the guy had made a Superman casket I broke down crying. I couldn’t imagine having to bury my son like that. It still makes me tear up thinking about it.
Edit: it wasn’t my son that died. But one of the kids that died was into Superman just like my boy and seeing that kid’s casket made me emotional. Sorry if that seemed ambiguous
This makes me feel like I have to throw up.
400 cops stood outside the school while those kids were shot. In Texas where guys like the cops that were there talk cold shit about how tuff they are and what guns they pack and what they would do if this or that happened. When it happened in front of them they did nothing.
This man is a good man. I’m sad that he ever was in a situation to do this at all.
Wonder what the cops have done since then
To be clear, this is not a feel good story like you might think. He should never had to do that.

Never forget the “Good Guys” were of no help. Thank god for border patrol 🏈⚾️
This makes me feel a lot of things, but “amazed” isn’t really one of them
I saw a story about this gentleman’s contribution shortly after the atrocity.
I thought it a kind and loving way to donate and express his profound grief in solidarity with the families.

These would not be needed in the first place if the Uvalde police did their jobs.
Look for the helpers 🫶
I remember hearing this story at the time. I had to then cancel a work meeting because I was honestly just too upset. It really broke me

This is a stupid question, I know, but how did he make 19 caskets within a very short period of time. People have to be buried within 5 days in my country. Burial could have been delayed because of police investigations, but surely no more than 1 or 2 weeks.
Edit: I looked it up. He didn’t build them. He spray-painted them.
I hope he sent a bill to the Uvalde PD
I’m so sad that this ever had to happen… The police let those kids get murdered.
Just drove through Uvalde, those murals of the children are extremely heartbreaking
America is a failed nation.
The cops allowed those kids to die due to their cowardice actions. I live a few mins from Uvalde and we were all disgusted. Cowards!
Really are good people out there
Should not have put his name out there, now he will be harassed by nutball shooting deniers 😕
I hate corny reddit shit like leopardsatemyface and orphancrushingmachine but this is very orphancrushingmachine.
