and some of that involves mental health counselling. trama counselling. we have to reach out and early age to turn these lives around. once we see the clear indicators. what will happen in this circumstance with this particular individual, i don t know. i just don t know his story. i will tell you that that part of the bill is important for the future. while senator durbin touted the recently passed gun legislation, he also said there were things the bill didn t address like a ban on assault weapons. akron, ohio is under a curfew right now after weekend protests over the fatal police shooting of jalen walker. and unarmed black man. police say the majority of protesters were peaceful. there was significant property damage after nightfall. about 50 people were arrested for failing to comply with the curfew. all this comes just hours after officials we leased police body
things and take steps to address guns in conjunction with school safety and mental health? i agree, anderson. and maybe that s what senator mcconnell is alluding to a package that needs to be passed and include all those things. look, we protect our banks, we protect our stadiums, we protect so many things with hardened guard and see doors and the fact we don t protect our kids the same way is just, you know, beyond my belief and so i think what a lot of republicans would like to see is some sort of hardening the schools, what happened in florida. there was lots of money in the florida bill that passed after parkland you had, you know, the red flag laws in place, the age raised to 21, but also had huge amounts of additional resources for mental health counselling in schools, hardening of schools, much more robust package that addressed those things. i heard the president speak of his walk through arlington memorial day, i also thought he
amounts of additional resources for mental health counselling in schools, hardening of schools, much more robust package that addressed those things. i heard the president speak of his walk through arlington memorial day, i also thought he was going to talk about shootings in general in america. over the weekend, as david knows probably all too well being in chicago, were 50 shootings alone in memorial day weekend, nine people killed in the city of chicago, so if we need to address gun violence in america, needs to be done holistically, what is going on that people so frivolously take peoples lives, need a more holistic approach to this question. i want to play something president biden said tonight. after columbine, sandy hook, charleston, orlando, las vegas, after parkland, nothing has been done. this time, that can t be true. this time, we must actually do
though we have lost ten individuals, many of them who were making a difference not only in this community but other ones in new york state. how can president biden help in that effort? what do you want to hear from him when we comes to buffalo tomorrow? i think he s going to come in and say that the nation mourns with you. i received a call from the homeland security secretary right after the incident pledging the full support of the federal government for our efforts to not only prosecutes, but to heel hale. that s what we have. a two-track method of government now prosecuting through the eerie county district attorney. and the other assisting with mental health counselling, food distribution, whatever is needed in the community. so i think the president is going to come here. i know he s going to talk to some of the relatives of those deceased to help them grieve, but pledge the full support of the federal government to not
he said it was not hard to get. all i had to do was make a blanking phone call and gets free transit passes and state i.d. and career and mental health counselling. i don t believe the biden administration they were going to spent $30 million. they said we are not buying crack pipes but the program said they were along with syringes. i don t want to aid in somebody s suicide. if you are smoking crack or shooting heroin you are committing suicide. you are doing it slowly but killing yourself. i don t want to it assist in your studio. suicide. is that fair? i am with you. the problem of throwing money at the problem is the problem. they do it with everything. they do it with schools and homelessness. we will throw more money at it. it never fixes the problem.
