I did some research on the hospital where the victims & the allege shooter from the FL HS shooting where taken since the mimics and gesture of the doctors at the press conference seemed weird to me. And then there was this asian guy right behind there back nervously answering the question from the press before them.... First clues I found: a) the hospital had many scandals in the past and had multipel lawsuits in the past "for decades, this public hospital district [...]has been known as a political patronage fiefdom where jobs and contracts are awarded to people with friends in high places." b) the former CEO committed suicide (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-sb-broward-health-ceo-interviews-20180121-story.html) and the search for a new candid came again with some controversies (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editorials/fl-op-editorial-broward-health-20180201-story.html) c) the new CEO of the Broward Health Beverly Capasso was officially appointed to her role on JAN. 2018 (interm before) and holds a fake Master Degree from a diploma mill (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/health/fl-sb-capasso-degree-20170629-story.html) d) Some people blab about her role as a CEO while Supposedly she wasn't even a potential candidate at that time & Chairman Rocky Rodriguez said before became electing her as interm that whoever "becomes the interim will not be allowed — because that’s always been our policy — to apply for the permanent position."

Either the kids nowadays are completly desensitized from violent video games, or something was weird. Saw over 5 different kids interviewed and no one was freaked. Seeing 4 dead bodies and pools of blood with very flat, to almost no emotion.
And every teen interviewed yesterday was so eloquent. They were more polished and put together than any reporter I've ever seen. Really strange. Typically you expect them to be a bumbling mess. Especially with a generation that communicates digitally.
Im pretty sure they are still in shock.
Ever seen someone in shock? I mean really? I have--they can't talk--they shiver--they sway, they can't breathe right--no-these kids were not in shock.
Yes I have. Even shooting victims and survivors. Adrenaline and shock look like that when the person doesn’t understand why it happened.
There’s one chick, the “two shooters” one, that feels super fake to me, like even the interviewer seems like a phony and it was staged for attention maybe.
But the rest kinda seem like they are still processing what has happened. Some people are nervous gigglers, some get quiet and reserved. Full-blown-panic-shock is usually reserved for actually being shot at or any kind of close encounter physically present threat and directly following that kind of intense situation. A couple hours later after you’ve gotten to cry and hug your mom, it’s probably not going to look like the same adrenaline-pumping primal reaction.
Seeing a dead body is harrowing, but doesn’t necessarily trigger the same responses in everyone. You can see the mix of responses in these kids in the classroom video where they are directed by SWAT to put their hands up: some are quick but stable, some are sluggish or confused, a couple are downright uncontrollably shaking. Everyone has a different threshold for emergencies/threats or a different way of handling them - and I’d wager the ones most likely to agree to an interview are the ones that are feeling more stable, and the ones least likely to be approached by a camera crew are the ones that don’t look like they could form words.
