Another mass shooting...

I don't understand wtf the police were doing. This is all getting so fucking weird.

Canada or texas?

Texas. They're saying it took a long time for the police to do anything.

Seems like a weird situation in that town,  they spend 40% of their municipal budget on the police and actually have their own swat team ( a small town FFS)



Seems to me they wasted the towns money. 

Ted seems to have all the answers...

Four of the country music performers have decided to cancel their shows for the NRA convention that's coming up. Larry Gatlin, Don McLean, Larry Stewart, and Danielle Peck have all cancelled so far.

If the NRA had any decency they would cancel the whole thing. I don't expect they will.

(Trump still plans to be there, obv)

This probably belongs in the daily outrage thread, but this guy is a complete faker https://twitter.com/MyCancerJourne3  He has pretended to be lots of things, even a 1st responder on 911, and a multiple Purple Heart recipient. He's got nearly a hundred thousand people thinking his nephew was shot in the face. This is like the third tragedy where he's "lost a nephew".

This thread has all the evidence https://twitter.com/rachelmillman/status/1529954166663151616?s=20&t=vKf84MDlKO639Ie8gQWUTA 

(sorry)

Canada or texas?

The information we're getting from the police is... odd. Sort of George floyd odd.

They say a cop or a security guard "engaged" the shooter before he entered the school. But surveillance footage shows him just walking in.

Then there's the police doing nothing but listening to gunshots for an hour.

And what kind of swat team takes an hour to get someplace?

Then the guy who ended up taking the active shooter out was a border patrol agent? Wtf?

I've also heard that 18 minutes of police records are just missing.

What aren't they telling us?

Okay so they weren't quite doing nothing for an hour.  A few law enforcement officers had children or spouses at that school and when they learned about the situation they heroically entered the school, grabbed their loved ones, and then left.

They also spent the hour arresting, pepper spraying and tasing distraught parents urging them to act.

The company that made the AR-15's is Daniel Defense,  apparently well known for using kids in their advertising kids for guns.

This picture is from an ad released the same day as the Uvalde massacre..



This photo was posted on the Daniel Defense Twitter account May 16 with the caption

Who in their right minds thinks its a good idea to put guns in the hands of toddlers...   Oh wait...

Sokaruls a fan of mixing guns with kids. I'm sure as a yank, his opinion is mainstream over there. Thinks it makes them respect them, be safe and use them properly

Of course, to use a gun properly requires you to maim or take a life. That is their design. Frankly, the gun that killed those school children did exactly what it was designed to do. Fuck guns

What is becoming apparent is that the mantra of the man-boy gun poseurs, that if a guy with a gun had been there, is wearing thin.
The police arrived within 4 minutes of him entering the building but spent the best part of the next hour, tazering and pepper spraying the distraught parents who were imploring them to do something, you know, like their fucking job.

The Supreme Court said that police have no legal obligation to protect people.  Their #1 priority is their own safety, so they can and will just sit there and watch you die.

Putting police in schools is useless if they will just lock themselves in a room until the suspect runs out of ammo shooting everyone else first.

I literally moved across the ocean so my son wouldn't have to risk dying in a shootout.

Similar to the representative that literally got on his hands and knees to beg?

Lying sack of crap.

Are you calling me a liar? 

Right now, it appears that it was a terrific thing these school kids were cut down. The police were obviously allowing it to happen, and despite the protests from the parents about not being allowed to go in and rescue their own children, while the police rescued only their own, it is good they died now, rather than be subjected to more asshattedness by idiots roaming this particular city and forum.

Yeah I read that a while back. It always made me wonder what the hell is the point of these people then?

It would be like if a soldier refused to go into battle because thr enemy was shooting at them.

Now I'm hearing some theories that the gunman just ending up killing himself.

Taking the credit to sound like a hero and divert attention away from their chicken shitness?

Interesting and kinda (sadly) funny, old video from Cracked. Apparently, cops aren't required to 'protect & serve':

Yeah I think that's the exact video I watched.  Of course the police can't really operate that way.  It sort of tarnishes the whole "hero" thing they're going for.

Sepcially if their motto is "to serve and protect"


Rwally.
To aerve and protect[ the interest of the ruling class]...

Oh.  They didn't go inside because there was a gunman shooting at people and they could have been shot.  WTF do they think their job is?

Apparently a bunch of parents were there.  Some of them armed.  The police prevented them from going inside.

So the situation is, if you're a parent and your kid is in a school getting shot up, not only will the police not do anything but they will prevent you from doing anything as well.

Right now, it appears that it was a terrific thing these school kids were cut down. The police were obviously allowing it to happen, and despite the protests from the parents about not being allowed to go in and rescue their own children, while the police rescued only their own, it is good they died now, rather than be subjected to more asshattedness by idiots roaming this particular city and forum.

What a wonderful representation of the modern day right wing Republican.  Hoping children die rather than be exposed to someone else's views or politics.  Ruled by fear and terror of anyone different.

I don't care if this is the uppers, that is one of the most vile and disgusting things I've heard come out of your racist, homophobic, anti-democratic mouth.

Stay classy.

Yes wsh is a pos.

Wish/totallackey/Action69 doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.  I mean, he probably thinks the flat earth conspiracy run by NASA is somehow responsible.  It makes as much sense as anything that comes out of that dimwits mouth.

I was wondering who would be the first to bite on the really obvious troll post.  You were odds on favourite.

Well duh. When DON'T I bite?  Besides, are there ANY posts on this site that are not troll posts?  It's hard not to respond to them when it's pretty much everyone all the time. Who else do I talk to?

There are thousands of posts on this site that aren't troll posts. Most of the posts in this thread aren't, either.
