18yo gunman has killed at least 14 kids and one teacher at a school in Uvalde, TX. Suspect is also dead. Some sources reporting he shot and possibly killed his grandmother prior to the attack on the school.
The US is not a country that values the lives of children.
I'm already seeing Republicans pushing homeschooling as the only solution to gun violence in schools. :rolleyes:

Just the GOP doing GOP things.

If all my siblings released attack ads about what a useless cretin I am, I'd just stop tweeting.Quote:

wait, maybe if they give the CRT trans groomers guns
Some sources reporting that Uvalde's massive spending on the police bought them a bunch of cops who were there as/before the killer arrived and failed to stop him. So they, um, waited for backup (for their own safety), letting him enter the school. Initial reports attributed this to him wearing body armour, but now others are saying he was just wearing a plate carrier with no ballistic plates inside. Not sure about the veracity of any of those reports, but anyone calling for increases to police budgets is just an idiot throwing good money after bad.
A border patrol officer working outside of the local police is who stopped the shooter. The local police did nothing to address the massacre that was happening inside the classroom.Quote:

Another source quoting the police that they barricaded this gunman inside a classroom full of kids for an hour before anything was done.
Found out this morning that one of the teachers, Eva Mireles, was an aunt (half-aunt, if that's an actual term) of a good friend of mine. They'd never met.
Kept the parents out:Quote:

Videos of police interacting with parents (keeping them out) outside the school:

Key claims in this statement appear to be false:

They better hope the info about cops first saving their own kids before deciding to keep other parents out is not true. I can see how something like that might have gone down without any real culpability on the part of officers at the scene, but it's gonna look pretty fucking awful.
Okay so now we know why they're being so cagey:

Did anybody ask? Well, they certainly will now.

The police allowed the classroom to get massacred because they didn't want to get themselves shot at :mad:
I can't keep track of the alternate timelines and accounts presented by the police, but they appear to be getting progressively more damning. I wonder how much would've come to light were not for the dogged persistence of journos. Also wonder who'll ultimately take the fall for this tragedy, and when we'll see the first police suicide. Abbott and everyone around him is a disgrace. Every single Republican politician and pundit pulling the same cynical pro-murder bullshit out of their asses as always is a disgrace.
New flag for the Uvalde police LARPers.

I'm a bit confused. What's the issue there, Aimless? If he was elected to the position before the shooting, he gets sworn in unless he personally chooses to decline. Granted, perhaps he should decline and that speaks to his character, but says nothing one way or the other about the town. Impeachment or recall are the remedies to him no longer being fit to serve in the position he was elected to.

Turns out that despite what the cowards Cruz and "police" claimed, a teacher did not leave a door propped open.
Really hoping this isn't what it sounds like:

"They shot a kid"

Note that police have not stopped reporters from knocking on any other doors in town, including those of victims.
To be completely honest, the police specifically stating that they did not shoot any children (one of their first statements) was a suspiciously specific denial. And given how all of their other statements turned out to be lies..
Mother who was handcuffed by cops for trying to save her children (which she eventually did after tricking someone into uncuffing her) says she was threatened by police:

Everything about this situation is fucked up. The US is a shithole country.

So. Did they shoot a kid or a teacher?

So apparently they never even tried the doors, and they may have been unlocked the whole time.
The US "experiment" in democracy has failed.
If we can't BAN citizens from having assault weapons designed for WAR because of a misguided and political definition of the 2nd Amendment, we might still be considered a Constitutional Republic....but we're definitely not the world's role model for what a civilized first-world democracy looks like, or how government (legislation and regulation) is supposed to balance individual rights and the common good.
Police are now claiming that their body cam footage can not be released because it's corrupted.
They definitely shot at least one kid, and very likely a teacher too.
In that case they'll definitely need time to edit the footage.
This isn't actually easy w/o it being absurdly obvious.Quote:

American cops have always been notorious liars. But, even in that context, this is pretty remarkable. Incompetent scum don't deserve more funding and support.
With the video from the school now public, I don't think these officers can remain in the community for much longer.
The Punisher logo on the lock screen was a nice touch.
Tbf it sounds like his wife was dying in one of the rooms at the time, and he'd just been prevented from going in.Quote:

40% of the city's budget goes to idjits who are less prepared for school shootings than literal kids.
And the voters had a chance to do something about it and chose not to.
