Made horror films for the last 30 years & have done hundreds of conventions. I always said the only fans that were as loyal & awesome as horror fans were Star Trek ones. Crazy excited to now be a part of both families. 🔪🖖🏼

I have my 11th grade child home because school is impossibly hard. She’s conflicted between going to the place she was shot and her best friend was killed or going to a place that nobody understands what she went through ... THIS IS THE AFTERMATH OF GUN VIOLENCE.
#EndGunViolence
I’d like to talk about Mia. Yes, she’s my daughter but the amount of work she has done since her world was shattered by gun violence is nothing short of super hero stature. On Nov 14, 2019 Mia was shot in the abdomen by a .45 caliber ghost gun…
Richard Roundtree. Born in the same city I was, New Rochelle, NY. Was my table neighbor at a con in Germany. He was absolute nicest to every fan & friend that came to meet him & was hands down the coolest mother f@&ker in the room. A class act. RIP.

to start her freshman year, on her birthday no less. My girl. I’m so proud of this adventure & at the same time I’m incredibly heartbroken to leave her. Happy birthday
@mia_tretta
, Brown is lucky to spend it’s time with you!
Everyone is ok physically. Mentally this always takes a toll. I picked up Max & saw the same faces I did 3 years ago when Mia was shot. Scared, worried, flustered parents. Some lawmakers don’t think Guns are the problem-THEY ARE WRONG.

This badass child of ours is getting a nerve block today. In true Mia fashion she’s made bff’s with all the nurses and is discussing medicine, college and gun violence activism. I’m just making nerve jokes. Wish us a smooth procedure and recovery.

I often scroll back in my texts to 2019 because it’s still unbelievable that this is our life now. A boy with a ghost gun opened fire on our daughters quad. Killing 2 & injuring 3 (one being my little girl). Never forget the innocent children lost & wounded that day. Saugus High
I spent the first night in the hospital with my injured daughter google searching on how to help my teen after she had been shot. What I found was

I’m at a convention in the south. Most of the folks that came to meet me shared their love of Horror films/Star Trek & how much they appreciate the work we do in gun violence prevention. I’ve never been happier to see my worlds collide. We’re gonna be alright.
#MomsDemandAction
The insane reply’s to my daughters posts about gun violence is a great example of why we need red flag laws, background checks, wait periods, AND mental health help.
Daughter: Gun violence stole my childhood.
Them: fuck you bitch ! Come and take em! Ahhhhhhh

Our daughter was shot by a .45 caliber ghost gun. These guns are found online and easily assembled at home. In 8 seconds 2 beautiful children were killed and 3 others wounded. Tell the ATF to regulate these deadly weapons. SUMBIT COMMENT HERE NOW-LAST DAY!
Gun violence stole our daughters childhood & her best friend. While we are greatful that we live in a state like California there is still more work to be done to curb gun violence. That’s why I know we can count on our gun sense

Here’s the text I received from a kid in the class holding pressure on our daughters gun shot wound. It was confusing when I first got it. Now it’s just traumatizing. How come we as parents are still getting these texts? Why is nothing being done?

Bring back the two dead kids at my daughters high school after they got murdered cause of your “rights”
Bring back the time when my children went to school without fearing for their life
Bring back the day when somebody would just kick your sorry ass for saying dangerous things
Bring back President Trump.
Bring back my personal account.
Bring back Dr. Robert Malone.
Bring back Alex Jones.
Bring back Milo Yiannopoulos.
Bring back the cancelled nation.
Bring back freedom of speech.
Bring back America! 🇺🇸
Tomorrow is Mia’s high school graduation. Of course I’m endlessly proud of her but it’s hard to be “excited”. Two children are missing. Gun violence stole her high school years, her saftey, her normalcy, her physical and mental health, and her best friend. Tomorrow will be hard.

Our daughter sat on the floor of our room with her service dog in tears. This isn’t new. It’s random. We ask what’s going on. Missing her friend, anxiety, school, scared,the world? She says, it’s everything. This is PTSD. This is November. This is the effects of gun violence…
I joined

after our child was shot by a .45 at her high school. That night D. Trump told a group not 2 worry about their gun rights being stripped. The NRA’s extreme agenda threatens our constitutional rights & safety — the Sup Court must reject it.

@drewangerer
Ur right. It only took 8 seconds for the boy at my kids school to MURDER 2 and SHOOT 3 others one being my daughter. 8 SECONDS. Even a “good guy with a gun” wouldn’t have been able to stop. You know what would? NO GUN IN THE FIRST PLACE!
