flyboy0681 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I live about 2,500 feet from Marjory Stoneman Douglas high and today I am delighted to hear.. nothing. On the day of the massacre, and for weeks after, the skies were filled day and night with helicopters to the point where the noise was maddening. Today's march down here coincides with Trump's visit to Mar-a-Lago and the skies are closed due to the presidential TFR. I assumed the media applied for waivers and am delighted they were denied. Without getting into politics, the effect the event had on our community down here is profound. Personally, a close friend of ours was among the victims, Meadow Pollack. The devastation it left behind for the family just has to be seen to be believed - and then you wouldn't believe it. I have a dozen other stories that relate directly to my wife, kids (both Douglas alumni) and myself, but I won't go into it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylw314 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Thoughts out to all the people involved. Yes, I've never understood the fascination newsmedia have with aerial shots of the location of any event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He passed on to me that her brother, Hunter, was not allowed to speak today because he wasn’t toeing the “party” line. Truth or fiction?

The organizers publicly stated that he was on the speakers list but he didn't show up. So who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
