Colorado's Douglas County Sheriff’s Office will lead its first ever procession for a civilian in honor of Kendrick Castillo, the heroic STEM School Highlands Ranch student who died while stopping a school shooter from murdering his classmates.
On Wednesday, there will be a service celebrating Castillo’s life at Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch at around 12:15 p.m. Douglas County Sheriff's Office will lead a procession of 30 motorcycle officers from the Denver area to the church before the service. There will also be dozens if not hundreds of Jeeps joining the procession in honor of Castillo, who was a fan of the vehicle. The Jeep procession was organized by a Colorado group of so-called “Jeepers,” and has the consent of the Castillo family, KDVR reported.
“I just couldn't believe it, couldn't believe this was happening to my son,” John Castillo told CNN after the shooting. “I know that because of what he did, others are alive, and I thank God for that. I love him and he's a hero. He always will be,” he told CNN. “But there's another part of you that wishes he just turned and ran, retreated. You know, did something to put himself out of harm's way, if that was possible.”
Now we have to rely on our kids to save other kids from getting murdered.

Kendrick Castillo, hero killed in Colorado school shooting, was days away from graduation'Kendrick lunged at (the gunman), and he shot Kendrick, giving all of us enough time to get underneath our desks, to get ourselves safe and to run across the room to escape.'

His dying a hero is small (to no) comfort to his family & friends, he should be laughing & graduating not being buried. NeverAgain GunControlNow Most kids have this kind of strength. We don’t give them enough credit. This young man represents what is right!

Schools Question Whether They Should Keep Teaching Students to Confront ShootersIn case of a shooting situation, U.S. students are being taught to avoid, barricade, hide and, as a last resort, confront. But the recent deaths of two students who confronted shooters are prompting officials to question the last option. Some say that, eh? What the actual feck is going on in America?🇨🇦 Lol the debate is how children should respond? Amazing how far gone we are. Not sure that you can actually teach someone to confront a shooter. Your either the type that runs toward danger or away. It’s more like a reflex than a decision.

YouTube Rushes To Shut Down School Shooter’s Account Over Copyright ComplaintsSAN BRUNO, CA—Following the Colorado school shooting that left one dead and eight others wounded, YouTube announced Thursday it had moved quickly to shut down the accounts of one of the suspects after receiving complaints over copyright violations. “Shortly after the heartbreaking events in Highlands Ranch, we took the action of removing all the suspect’s videos in response to infringement claims made by copyright holders,” said CEO Susan Wojcicki, who explained that when the names of the accused shooters were released, YouTube had taken the immediate precaution of freezing the suspect’s account to ensure he wasn’t disseminating any messages without distributing the proper royalties. “When we saw he shared a clip owned by NBCUniversal, we scrubbed this and all other copies from the platform within minutes. Spreading this kind of content on YouTube is simply unacceptable without first receiving the proper clearances. We don’t want him inspiring others to violate intellectual property laws in similar ways.” Wojcicki added that the company would consider reinstating his account if he agreed not to share any unlicensed music. How dare he copyright... The worst thing you can do 😔😔😔 Ha algo on shooting autoplay
