Really hard to overstate the incompetence of the police in the Uvalde shooting
as more and more information about the events roll out it only makes me more disgusted.
According to DPS Director Steve McGraw who said twice that the cops were the ones who barricaded the shooter into a classroom. In addition to it coming out that the cops rushed into the school to save THEIR OWN kids.
Its hard not to interpret this as the "police barricaded the shooter in a classroom full of kids so they would have time to rescue their own kids"

@zerofuks2give For all the "we need to do better with mental health," no one's really interested.
No one chooses one day to slaughter children without a serious, deep mental defect. it's not about "Oh hey, I'm hungry again." This was a deeply, disturbingly troubled human who suffered from a mis-wired brain more than anyone around him. But once again, we want only blood, never mercy.
And yes, the gun. Mass shootings are exceedingly rare occurrences. Remove guns and people stop dying. How do we know? We're the only nation not to do it. And so we're the only nation to believe it can't work despite clear evidence that it does.
The same people who fight to the 2nd amendment because it's a sacred right while ignoring the other 97% of the Constitution are the same ones who call homosexuality a sin but not the other 614 laws published alongside. This is ammunition for "give us our way."
This is an argument about power. Government will and very effectively does convince the masses to argue about anything but the elephant in the room. If not for the gun, no death.
But you write out a nice note tonight, address it to the parents of a 10-year-old child and be sure to explain how it's just the way America rolls. Sorry for the funeral and all, but we have a right to the guns.
@Graylight i think framing this mans deed as being a 'mental health' episode is just as silly as blaming guns for a shooting like this. 99% of mentally troubled people don't go on killing sprees
@zerofuks2give To you. But you matter not. I didn't write it for a head that lives in the sand; it's for those who will see your drivel and know there's are sentient thinkers in the world.
@NoahB 100% of mentally well people DO NOT open fire in elementary schools, so it's very much about mental health.
@Graylight there are plenty of mentally well people that do kill kids and they do it with drones https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/29/asia/afghanistan-kabul-evacuation-intl/index.html
