Maybe a Texan can explain

It took 40 minutes or more to breach the school and take down the shooter. And when it was done, it was done by a tactical squad from the U.S. Border Patrol -- we are talking about 50+ miles from the border -- that the Texas Governor claims is ineffectual and not doing their job, while Uvalde residents complained their local law enforcement stood around outside doing nothing.

Have y'all asked Gov. Abbott to define effectual without using political labels?

Hey, the shooter had his reasons for killing all of those kids and the two teachers so stop blaming him.

Mother of Texas school shooter tearfully begs people not to judge her son and says she 'wants the innocent children who died to forgive her': 'I know he had his reasons for doing what he did'
Robb Elementary School shooter Salvador Ramos' mother, Adriana Reyes, said that her son 'had his reasons' for shooting 21 people dead
'He had his reasons for doing what he did and please don't judge him', she said
'I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me. Forgive me, forgive my son'
Reyes said that she had a good relationship with her son and that he didn't have many friends

@Diotrephes Well, as long as he had his reasons...

@LordShadowfire Isn't she the most loving mom ever?

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@Diotrephes She is. Being able to forgive that is just, well, I guess his mother is a saint, even if he's a piece of shite.

@LordShadowfire The dummy wants everyone to forgive her killer son because he had his reasons for killing 21 people and wounding others. In the old days she would have been tarred and feathered if not lynched.

@Diotrephes In Michigan she would be tried as an accomplice for bad parenting. In Texas they are more likely to go after a teacher claiming s/he inflamed him with CRT.

@Diotrephes in the old days the entire blood line would be ended to protect society.
