So? It’s not like there are going to be any legal or political repercussions for a foreseeable future

Oh surely SOMEONE deserves some paid leave for this, right?

In other news, the population of Uvalde re-elected all the same people responsible for the problem, and there’s a lack of optimism among anyone at all regarding the possibility of consequences of any kind for these useless drains on the local budget.

the gravest error was the reluctance of officials to confront the killer during the first few minutes of the attack.

The cops were f**king COWARDS because for once they would actually have to put their lives on the line instead of terrorizing others.

ACAB.

And no, I certainly DON’T expect cops to come running to my defense if a shooter put me at risk, as these cops have confirmed. Yet, I could plausibly expect them to do a “no-knock” violently armed home invasion on the flimsiest of pretences. Always the braver so long as they hold the advantage.

Never really hear about somebody the cops save in a dramatic way. Despite their best efforts, you hear about the people they kill in a dramatic way all the time, though.

Maybe they could try, I dunno, not killing anyone in a dramatic way.

It’s worse than that. So much worse. They didn’t even set up a triage point. So people died from just lack of care after they were rescued.

I was working very close to uvalde when this happened and before a lot of info was released everyone was saying it was an “illegal” who was running from the border patrol that went in the school and started shooting.

P.S. So many people in south Texas like to call them illegals and I hate it, it’s so damn dehumanizing.

FTFY.

Screaming by children is frequently done in joy as well, let’s be absolutely specific here.
