The worst time to grandstand about a horrific crime is right after it happens. You would think that anyone who has experienced this would know better. However, we see it time and time again, and now the Parkland student activists are screaming on Twitter after a school shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas.

As of this post, the sheriff’s office has confirmed around 8 to 10 fatalities, others injured, including resource officers, and possible EXPLOSIVE DEVICES planted around the campus.

On the scene now. No longer an active situation. Personnel treating the injured. Info is still preliminary, but there are multiple casualties. @HCSOTexas is on the scene with other law enforcement assisting in the search of the school.

One is in custody, a second one detained. An injured police officer is being treated, the extent of his injuries are unknown.

#UPDATE There have been explosive devices found in the high school and surrounding areas adjacent to the high school. Because of the threat of explosive items, community members should be on the look-out for suspicious packages and anything that looks out of place.

— Santa Fe ISD (@SantaFeISD) May 18, 2018

Do not touch any items out of place and call 911 as we have agencies that can respond. Our thoughts and prayers are with our students, staff and our community. Please pray for our Santa Fe ISD community. #SantaFeISD

The mere presence of “explosive devices” puts this crime into another UNIVERSE as far as I’m concerned, but here come the typical ghouls.

Don't bother tweeting me that it's too soon to talk about the need for stronger gun laws. It's always too soon in America. For kids shot at Santa Fe High School today, it's too late.

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) May 18, 2018

Dana Loesch, an @NRA lobbyist, is paid to make guns readily available to evil people… Her entire timeline today is devoted not to the victims of this tragedy, but to herself and the mean tweets she's receiving in light of yet another mass shooting in America. https://t.co/Pjs7vB7D8r

At least 10 dead in Santa Fe High School; shooter was armed with an AR-15 style rifle, a pistol, a shotgun and pipe bombs.https://t.co/Tlfvf78cde

— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) May 18, 2018

Hey, Shannon, are those pipe bombs the NRA’s fault, too? To some, this is starting to sound like…

Explosive devices confirmed. https://t.co/JQkXtTjvHk

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) May 18, 2018

If the reports of a "shotgun and a trench coat" are confirmed, I'd say it's likely that this was a copycat attack.

— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) May 18, 2018

Awful. And two alleged assailants is a creepy echo of Columbine. https://t.co/6he6oXMtlk

— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) May 18, 2018

But Shannon’s usual vile antics are now joined by the media darling student activists of Parkland.

At least 8 students have been shot and killed at Santa Fe High School.

Prepare to watch the NRA boast about getting higher donations.

Prepare to see students rise up and be called ‘civil terrorists’ and crisis actors.

Prepare for the right-wing media to attack the survivors.

— Cameron Kasky (@cameron_kasky) May 18, 2018

Donald Trump does not care about school shootings.

Donald Trump does nothing to stop school shootings.

Don’t talk to me about the ‘stop school violence act,’ because that does nothing to stop school shootings.

Donald Trump does not care about you or your kids getting shot.

— Cameron Kasky (@cameron_kasky) May 18, 2018

Santa Fe High, you didn’t deserve this. You deserve peace all your lives, not just after a tombstone saying that is put over you. You deserve more than Thoughts and Prayers, and after supporting us by walking out we will be there to support you by raising up your voices.

And there’s more.

We are fighting for you.

Get ready for two weeks of media coverage of politicians acting like they give a shit when in reality they just want to boost their approval ratings before midterms.

Get ready for two weeks of sniveling teenage brats acting like they give a damn when in reality they just want to boost their social media impressions and feel special. https://t.co/XNJKQxnqwA

Now, remember – we have no details, no concrete information about the shooter except that it is a student. Authorities are currently trying to defuse planted bombs, questioning another “person of interest” and we have injured LEOs at the scene.

But the activist kids are busy taking to Twitter – and probably plan on being on TV tonight – to yell at everyone without any more information than what is currently at hand.

Can we focus on what would make an immediate difference, or is that too much to ask?

Heartbroken for the victims and their families. Will await more details before commenting further, but I'm certain this was foreseeable and therefore preventable. #SantaFeHighSchool

— Ryan Petty (@rpetty) May 18, 2018

Nothing has changed to protect our kids. We need solutions not rhetoric. We need single point entry and metal detectors. No one should be able to walk into a school with a gun. #fixit

— Andrew Pollack (@AndrewPollackFL) May 18, 2018

We need to protect our kids. This is unacceptable! Both parties need to come together and pass school safety legislation. Stop the partisan hackery! #SantaFeHighSchool #GrassleyCruz

— Kyle Kashuv (@KyleKashuv) May 18, 2018

As we await more info, one thing is for certain. We failed the people of Texas by not having more security and metal detectors at every school.

— Kyle Kashuv (@KyleKashuv) May 18, 2018

And a closing note…

Please don't dignify the shooter by using his name. THIS is what animals do. School shooters are animals!

— Kyle Kashuv (@KyleKashuv) May 18, 2018

School shooters are animals.

Nobody should say their names. Do not give them dignity. https://t.co/VnA4jAcrW5

Our prayers are with Santa Fe, and we await more details on this developing story.

UPDATE 3:45 PM EDT:
So, about that AR-15 narrative…

Gov. Abbott just announced law enforcement recovered two guns from the Sante Fe shooter. One was a shotgun. The other was a .38 caliber revolver.

— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) May 18, 2018

Abbott said they were legally purchased by the shooter's father and there is no word yet on whether or not the father knew he had his guns.

— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) May 18, 2018

The shooter has been identified as a 17 year old male student.
And food for thought…

Yesterday: Everyone has a spark of divinity in them and it's wrong to speak of them in a dehumanizing way.

Today: The NRA is a bunch of bloody-handed child-murderers!

Indeed.
