Live recording with voice and acoustic guitar. In remembrance of the 19 children and 2 teachers whose souls departed on May 24, 2022, and those we have lost before and have continued to lose since in senseless "school shootings". Still, nothing changes! Peace.
Composition and performance by Stephen Scott. BMI, 2023.

LYRICS:
Panic-stricken parents, scramble to the flashing lights
Yellow-bellied “Good guys”, take cover behind their rides
In “fear for their lives”, when, they should engage 
Another “active shooter”, on an insane rampage
Here we go again, we’ve heard it all before

Eighty minutes gone, tactical team makes their move
One vicious burst, one more crimson pool
No matter how, the final story is spun
Uniforms delayed, because “he had a better gun”
Here we go again, we’ve heard it all before

Online manifesto showed, just what he would do
Still, they protest, “nobody knew”
Teased and bullied through his, school-career
No justification for, going “Nuclear”

Bureaucrats, Media, crocodile-tears, empty words
More “thoughts and prayers”, more mental health “research”
 Bodies barely cold, all is blame and deflection
Never “the right time to have that discussion”
Here we go again, we’ve heard it all before

“Goodbye” this morning, was “Goodbye forever”
Pain without solace, pain like a river, pain like a river
Here we go again, we’ve heard it all before

UVALDE - We've Heard It All Before

The 2022 mass shooting during the Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois killed seven people, wounded another 48 and traumatized an entire community. In this emotional conversation, Gabrielle Cummings, president of NorthShore Highland Park Hospital, discusses how the hospital team responded head-on to an unfolding crisis and kept not only the Highland Park community together, but the health care staff as well.

Remembering the Highland Park Mass Shooting: Reflections and Lessons in Emergency Preparedness

Over fifteen impressive releases into its existence, Amsterdam-based, South African-born artist Lee Ann Roberts' NowNow label continues to go from strength to strength with a relentless flow of breakneck Hard Dance offerings from some of the genre's brightest stars. The label's next release welcomes rising Irish star SMU for his NowNow debut with 3 original tracks on 'Keep Moving Forward'. The release is a blistering trio of original cuts bolstered by remixes from fellow Irishman Revoxx, Perpignan-based Klimax 82 and label head Lee Ann Roberts. 

'Active Shooter' kicks in the door to the EP, hitting you head-on with a fusion of rippling Psytrance, thrilling Breaks and potent Hardstyle nuances. Building around high-octane grooves and savage sirens, it's an undeniably head-turning signal of intent for the rest of the release. 'Energy' is next in line, bringing another fast-paced amalgam of Hard Dance subgenre goodness crafted from sinister synths, furious percussive drive, a catchy vocal hook and massive, climatic transitions. The title cut 'Keep Moving Forward' is the last of three originals from SMU, cutting a slightly different musical line to its predecessors. Slower in pace to its counterparts, it carries a potent core of thumping, driven drums and raucous hat grooves, orbited by cinematic pads, rave synths and an iconic vocal that leads into several piano-laced, happy hardcore-esque throwdowns.

Lee Ann Roberts' reimagination of 'Energy' leads the way with the remixes, putting a sinister spin on the original with screeching synth lines and an unrelenting tide of peaks and troughs to keep the dancefloor on its toes from start to finish. Revoxx's remix of 'Active Shooter' is next up, adding even more weight to the original whilst cleverly manipulating several vital elements to carve out an impressive peak-time stomper. Klimax 82's rework of 'Energy' rounds off the release with another captivating niche re-do, delivering an intriguing blend of Happy Hardcore, Psytrance, Hard Techno and everything in between.

On this episode of Deans Counsel, Jim Ellis and Ken Kring speak with Gerry Sanders, Dean of UNLV's Lee Business School. In perhaps our most riveting discussion to date, Gerry walks us through his experience during an active shooter incident targeting Lee, and the confusing aftermath.

In addition to feeling firsthand the myriad emotions that arise during and in the wake of this all-too-common, uniquely American occurrence, Gerry received a crash course in university-level crisis communications -- a complicated experience full of hard-earned lessons to say the least.

You'll come away from this episode with some fascinating and instructive insights, including:

•some basic protocols to have in place in the event that the unthinkable comes to your campus
•addressing the need (and prioritizing the response) for information coming from multiple sources (campus, media, personal)
•the cultural shifts that take place following a traumatic event
•managing the communication conflicts between campus and the public

66: Gerry Sanders (UNLV) on Crisis Communications in an Active Shooter Situation

In this week's update, we begin with an overview of the tragic shooting at Fort Stewart in Georgia. We then shift over to Friday's shooting on the CDC campus in Atlanta. Police believe the suspect was motivated by a belief he was injured by the COVID-19 vaccine. This incident took place just two days after HHS Secretary pulled research funding for mRNA vaccines because of the dangers they pose.  We also take a look the President's decision to deploy federal law enforcement to patrol the streets of Washington, DC.
