A few anomalies regarding the school shooting.

@hippyjoe1955 there is no evidence to back up a single thing you’ve said in regards to what happened in Uvalde. You’re just as bad as people on the extreme left.

@JesseInTX So says someone whose eyes are firmly closed. Too funny!

@JesseInTX also, if he didn't have a driver's license, how was he able to legally purchase a gun?

@Heartlander

And this is what God says.

John 15:13
"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."

1 John 3:16
"By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers."

@Carazaa There's also a few biblical quotes about "judgment". We really don't know what was in the hearts of those police officers who were on the scene.

@Heartlander If they waited one minute I think they are guilty of manslaughter if not second degree murder!

@AbbySvenz When it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.... Yeah an 'investigation'. That will solve everything. I am sure you are willing to provide a couple of gallons of whitewash.

Shadow puppets on the wall can look like ducks, too, and duck lures sound like ducks @hippyjoe1955

@SW-User yeah I understand, it’s just hard knowing the evil that’s going on.
I am positive, I just get very opinionated in texting on it. But that’s only because I want people to see what’s really going on. 😞

@Fairydust There is something going on... it's influenced somewhere, but I don't think it's what you make it to be.. so I am your friend on this, and the darn halfwits, I'm unsure... They seem to like class?

@SW-User
it’s definitely as bad as I make out. Sadly 😞 just many won’t believe it.

@Onestarlitnight


We have 3 or 4 relatives who are or were law enforcement officers in the south Texas area and the last thing I would put on their personal profiles would be "coward" :)

If your reference to bravery is the image of WW1 soldiers climbing out of trenches to charge a bunkered line of machine guns, you may be unaware that behind the charging soldiers were other soldiers prepared to shoot those who refused to go or tried to turn back too early.

The risk of blatantly charging an active shooter included risks to the children that may have been used as human shields, even with 19 to 1 odds.

We don't know what went on there. We don't know if the bullets were passing through the walls, or whether the shooter was hiding behind the children, or really anything.

I would describe south Texas as having a predisposition towards violence and the various law enforcement agencies have plenty of experience dealing with it.

So let's wait for more of the details, and not forget the root cause: a disenfranchised older kid or young adult who took out his resentment and anger by killing others.

@Heartlander
They're all FUCKING COWARDS AND PIECES OF SHIT..

@Onestarlitnight

:)

@MoonMoon I just found out your German. If anyone's opinion on this topic is irrelevant it's a German.

Now go goose step some where else

@HoraceGreenley jealous that german police is way more competent ? ok pretty much every police in the world is more copetent then american police...

@MoonMoon You're kidding right? German police units are eell known for screwing up.

@TexChik Of course when the lawsuits start to come "I was just following orders" is not a defense. The excuse for the innaction seems to be that they were treating this as a barricaded shooter not an active shooter. That doesn't fit the description of what was going on and the police were negligent in their duties. Then to lie about it to their superiors..... If the police are not up on criminal charges for being a part of the mass killing then justice does not exist in Texas.

@TexChik It's infuriating. The story has changed multiple times over the last 72 hours. So many bizarre details have surfaced. I'm having a difficuly time believing it was incompetence and cowardess that led to this tragedy.

@BizSuitStacy yes it starting to look very suspicious

@Roadsterrider The police and federal marshals were there long before the border agent arrived. There is video of the police and federal marshals arresting parents while the shooting was going on. Reports said that the border agents were called by the police.

@hippyjoe1955 Conflicting reports, maybe a false flag?

@Roadsterrider Honestly don't know. But I just read an article that said that the police went in to the school and got their kids out then came back out and did nothing while the shooting continued. Very very strange events. Certainly more questions than answers.

@Onestarlitnight What facts are inaccurate? Please inform us all.

@hippyjoe1955 I think I heard it as quoted from a newspaper, but obviously what happened in the school overshadows all else.

A terrible atrocity, and so utterly pointless.

@ArishMell You are so absolutely correct. What terrible thing to happen. There is no words to describe the evil that was committed. Sadly the simpletons want to blame guns when in fact guns were just the tool used to do the evil. No worse than the truck or the body armor. It was the evil in the perps heart along with the evil in those who enabled him to do this horrific act. The lot of them need to have their lives terminated including the complicit cops, negligent teachers, and especially those who were controlling the entire scene. Sorry but there simply is no other explanation. No amount of incompetence is that great. This was planned and executed with precision timing.

@hippyjoe1955 Why blame the victims?

Yes, the gun was the tool of the evil, but why is life so easy for the evil? This has proven yet again just how easy it is in the US for a civilian to buy weapons designed solely to kill as many people as possible a rapidly as possible, on a battlefield in war. Why would a civilian ever want such a weapon?

It's questions like those that people far from the USA ask, but receive no convincing replies.

Many Americans now call for "background checks" on gun ownership. I think some States at least, do have these, but shouldn't they be cohesive and nation-wide?

Well, we have had parallels in the UK, for other reasons, and seen that they do not always work because obviously but such enquiries can only show that the subject has an innocent past. That's not to say they are pointless, far from it. Nevertheless, they cannot foretell the future, and an individual really intent on evil acts is likely to hide his intentions. US law simply makes it so easy to buy powerful mass-murder weapons - no other country does that. Some of the out-and-out criminal fraternity, and obviously terrorist organisations, manage to obtain them, but there is no casual, open warfare-weapons retaining.

Though this may vary from State to State, a friend visiting the USA found an ordinary supermarket would sell him rifle rounds but not beer - yet he was a foreigner whose only ID he was carrying in the shop was his UK Driving Licence! He was re-paying ammunition spent by invitation on a host's private range. His host had proudly showed the visitor his arsenal of about twenty weapons, with the comment that "some have lots more!"

Whatever it needs, common reactions like quick and easy blaming of "mental illness" and victims, vaguely fearing unspecified "tyranny" and fetishising an amended 18C militia law, won't wash. All countries - including mine I know only too well - have their own serious social and cultural problems; but of the rich, "developed" countries it's only America that has so many inhabitants who seem to think the solution is simply yet more guns. Many Americans would probably agree, but face a deep-rooted culture of violence, and a rich gun lobby far more powerful politically than its relative population.

NO - such problems need serious social and cultural answers, with deep and genuine cross-party political support; but sadly, those seems as far away as ever.

(I stressed amended for what it implies...)

@RocktheHouse His wife called him from inside the school. He borrowed a shotgun and went to the scene, almost took a bullet to the head, it just grazed his scalp, and took care of business. It's a border area and BP are the best trained guys in any border state.

@Stereoguy Yeah all the boys carried jack knives from the time we entered school. No one ever thought of them as a weapon. They were for cutting string and debarking tree branches or maybe slicing an apple for lunch. If we wanted a weapon we had rat tailed combs in our back pockets. We would sharpen the tips on the rat tail using a pencil sharpener. No one ever used one as a weapon but we had them....Just in case.

@Stereoguy Our upbringing reminds me an old neighbor we had on the farm. He was quite wealthy and had no family and had a steady income from the Natural Gas wells on his property. He phoned the cops one day to complain about someone stealing the gasoline he used on the farm. Someone would come while he was asleep or away and steal some gasoline. The police said that there was no way they could guard his gas but if he put some sugar in the gasoline he would know who was stealing the gas because the sugar would damage the thief's engine. The old farmer thought about it for a minute or two then asked "Well what if it is one of my friends?" The cop had tears in his eyes as he hung up the phone. Yeah we would have an occasional fight but no one wanted to hurt the other. We were all friends.

@Ferise1 Because it’s impossible a Republican voter would do this? That’s what you’re saying?

@Imsleepy That low-life already broke a myriad of laws, why would breaking any more bother him?
