A man who lost his son in the 2018 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, was arrested outside of a House hearing on the Second Amendment on Thursday. Manuel Oliver, as well as his wife Patricia Oliver, were ejected from the hearing after exchanging words with lawmakers prior to the arrest.
Freshman Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) posted a video of the arrest on social media. “Manny Is A Hero,” Frost wrote. “He didn’t deserve this. The Republican Chair of this committee just called him a narcissist. Disgraceful.”

At an emotional hearing Nov. 1, families of the 17 people killed in the Parkland high school mass shooting began addressing the gunman, Nikolas Cruz, before his sentencing. The hearing is their final opportunity to address the court during the trial and to speak directly to Cruz. Statements will continue through Nov. 2.
Last month, a Florida jury recommended life in prison for Cruz for 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder for the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 14 students and three staff members dead. Cruz...

We’ve seen Elisabeth Moss take on corporate male toxicity in Mad Men, a ghost of a man in The Invisible Man, Gilead in The Handmaid’s Tale and punk rock in Her Smell. This weekend we’ll see her as a horror author who tries not to unravel as she goes through her creative process in the Josephine Decker-directed Shirley.
The film, which is adapted from Susan Scarf Merrell’s 2014 novel of the same name, bowed at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and is based on the real-life horror author Shirley Jackson and her husband Stanley Hyman.
“We were not making a film that we ever thought, ‘Oh, we’re making a film about the real Shirley Jackson’,” Decker told Deadline at Sundance. “In fact, the script really meshed up a bunch of timelines in the real Shirley Jackson’s life, so it absolutely was a fiction.

In 2018, there were 24 school shootings in the Us, which saw 35 people killed and 79 injured, so it's understandable if you have only hazy memories of the one that took place in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Florida - the one that killed staff members Aaron Feis, Chris Hixon and Scott Beigel, plus 18-year-old Meadow Pollack, 17-year-olds Joaquin Oliver, Nicholas Dworet and Helena Ramsay; 16-year-old Carmen Schentrup; 15-year-olds Luke Hoyer and Peter Wang; and 14-year-olds Alyssa Alhadeff, Jaime Guttenberg, Gina Montallo, Cara Loughran, Alaina Petty, Martin Duque and Alex Schachter. In the UK, where we haven't had a school shooting since 1996 and there have been vanishingly few mass attacks of any kind in such environments ever, this is hard to comprehend. In the Us it's so normalised that one critic of Cheryl Horner's documentary responded to the...
