The new news just out about the botched extraction, extermination of the threat inside the school is sickening . There is absolutely no excuse for what happened here. Police are or should be trained to save lives in situations where most others can not. I will tell you true to my soul, had I been there I would have tried to take him out or died trying. Armed I would not have waited a second , that’s what you do.. unarmed I’d arm myself real quick and get in there . It’s their fookin job, if they don’t have the guts to do it , get off the job immediately. You never know when the public will need you, you either train ready, stay ready, to always be ready 24-7 . This was an incredible disservice to the families, the community at large. Hearts are broken, these cops should have gone in immediately, fookin immediately. I’m sick to my stomach, the innocent lives lost forever will affect so many for so many years. These were little defenseless children, was there not a man willing to give his life to save them, if even a chance ? There is no condition in my mind, no situation I can think of regardless the odds that could have kept me out .. God bless all touched by this senseless tragedy.
The cops failed big time.
A armed society is a polite society, there’s so many brainwashed people ready to give there rights up too there government once there gone you’ll never get them back there’s so many solutions that don’t involve banning guns that won’t solve anything there’s a such thing as a black market banning guns is not going to to do anything. If you trust the government to protect you your really delusional
Schools should be protected by guns it’s common sense
I’m crying rn

There are just as many physicalpath as guns in America. You can get rid of guns but you can not get rid of the Physicalpath.
media wont cover it but over 19 THOUSAND people died by gun violence last year
mass shootings get the headlines but the steady drip of gun homicides gets ignored…why is that?
SO sad.😔
One hour before police finally entered is infuriating. All those wannabe cowboy cops need to take off their ridiculous cowboy hats because they are all cowards. They should be prosecuted themselves for dereliction of duty.
"high powered rifle" even a .22 and 9 mm can do the exact same.. the issue was the fact that he obtained the weapons so easily. I support guns but the requirements to be able to own ANY fire arm is ridiculously little.. the government is at fault for this.
There should be background checks, prior training, verification for the training, and recommendation by a qualified individual.
if a person wants to kill another, they will, be it with a firearm or with bare hands. guns don't kill.. people do.
the laws that allow for firearms to be able to be purchased, need to be looked at.
the fbi also needs to act sooner on obvious red flags.
Rest in piece, to those who passed…
Everyone (including the parents) just need to get over it.
DON-“the problem is too many of these shootings are being counted”
Armed guards at every school. That simple. Bitch wouldn't make it past the front doors.
My thoughts, sadness and condolences to the families and community Uvalde, TX.
Wake up America, the nightmare keeps happening!!!!
Sadly, it's happened again and it will continue to happen. Why? Because nobody wants to talk about the real reasons of all of these violent massacres committed by people like the shooters that committed these attacks.
What do all of them have in common? Bullying, every single one of these shooters were bullied in school, for years. There's no excuse for what these shooters did, this is not a defense of what they did. There's no excuse, no justification or reason for it.
Our schools, our education system is "producing" this types of kids. Why? Too many in the school administration see 'bullying' as simply a 'right of passage'. They reduce it down to, just 'something' kids do, and they defend it. The do 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink' lip service to dealing with the issue of bullying. Bullies social status or family connections protect them and insure that any reporting of such behavior is disregarded, blown off or flatly argued that the bully didn't do anything wrong. That the child being bullied brought it on themselves. Some bullied kids find it within themselves to rise above it, others turn into bullies themselves, others deal with a myriad of psychological and social issues (to include self harm, violent behavior or even suicide).
Now is the time to get tough on bullying, to provide resources for counseling for those being bullied, for the individuals doing the bullying, even for the families of the individual that is bullying. In most cases, bullies grow up in families where within the family dynamic there is mental, verbal or physical bullying going on. Bullying is a learned response, one that is re-enforced by adults that defend that bullies conduct, reasoning or ideals.
The stigmatism of being bullied, the peers, friends, adults in authority that stand by and silently let the bullying go on. Even worse, is when an authority figure sides with the bully and attacks the person being bullied, blaming the person being bullied that their being different is the cause, the justification for it. Bullies learn early the power of convincing their targets they are alone, even in groups of people. Bullies wield the power to manipulate others into believing it's in their best interest to stay silent or not challenge them on their decision to bully. Individuals that have been seriously bullied, loose faith in society itself, in everything that is meaningful to have in order to live in peace with each other.
So it's no great leap, to see how a person that has been through something like this would be tempted with firearms, weapons, an idea that society let them down, to start down a long dark path that ends in a plan to really hurt those that have been hurting them all those years.
Simply put, bullying is using fear, violence and silence of the others around a situation to justify the bullies own ego and in that silence the bully assumes to have won the day.
biden is imitation look his face ….the children is sacrifies for illuminate blood ritual………..pray for ur son and daughter under lord jesus ….
Yea so why did it take 48 minutes to kill him is my question? there’s 80 of you and it took you 48 MINUTES?! And why is an 18yr old allowed to buy an ASSAULT RIFLE?!
Schools should be like jails locked down. How did this guy get in?
The guardian project. ARM THE TEACHERS….
I think it's reasonable to assume that the evil and irrationality of humanity will not be completely extinguished any time soon.
So considering one exists in such a context, if this school shooting spree problem is going to be minimized, it needs to be attacked from multiple angles, ideally, at the same time, because it's a multifaceted problem and the sooner it's minimized, the better.
I believe that reasonable universal background checks should exist, that are enforced to a reasonable degree, in order to legally own any gun, to help minimize anyone that's not fit to own a firearm from having such. I believe that every such school should have sufficient security systems and security personnel, whom are sufficiently vetted and armed, that are active and present at all times on such properties.
I'd like to add that guardians can play an important role in preventing this from happening to some degree by playing a sufficiently proactive role in successfully communicating and understanding their children in order to care for them appropriately, including seeking out the appropriate help for their children, if they cannot provide it themselves.
The politicians should all be working together to achieve the above common goal, as well. Everyone that has the power to influence such an outcome as to minimize these school shooting sprees, should be doing so, sufficiently, especially those that their occupation calls for it.
next time my son comes over, I'm going to give him a big hug and tell him how much I love him💙
( not enough time in this world and evil comes quickly and unexpectedly 💔😥)
It's funny how guns can be easily accessible in USA , anyone can just buy a gun in a shop,like just any normal item and yet they still wonder why there's random shooting.
We all know that if this were a prestigious private school, those cops would have shot each other to be the first to take out the gunman. This wasn’t that, so you know why they waited an hour enjoying donuts and a few good laughs.
My question I've been asking for years is why schools are not protected the way other government buildings are. They have guards with medal detectors in court houses to protect the people working there but our most precious thing that we have in life is our children!! I just talked to my son and told him that I wished they could home school my grandkids. Schools should be the most protected of any place! My heart is broken 🙏
The world is a cold sad place
Democrats should look at Shooting Victims as Late Term Abortions, then they should be okay with them.
–
Besides, in their view, the Victims would just grow up to be Americans which they think are evil anyway.
–
I myself have always supported a Ban on Civilian Ownership of All Semi-Automatic Long Guns (AR-15 Type, Etc.).
–
I also don't go to Church or Pray for Others.
–
I lean Conservative (not a Republican Party Member) and I also agree with some Liberal Policies. But Liberal views on Law and Order are simply Anarchist.
–
Make Laws, Enforce them and Punish the Law Breakers. It really should be that easy.
Hi
These racist mf’s don’t care about you or anyone else but themselves. As long as these donors control the government instead of the people that they work for, we will never have what we need
🌐 Cowards pretending to be Heroes #shameontexas
How can someone be so evil? Those were CHILDREN, so the shooter couldn't have had a reason for a sick revenge or anything like that. He just shot them to shoot them. I can't believe he chose children. He deserved far worse than a quick death. I pray for the family and I hope those beautiful children rest in peace. I'm heartbroken.
When is the news going to put up coverage of the freaking police not going in to protect the kids and literally waiting and attacking parents that were trying to get in and rescue their babies because the police wouldn’t?! Why isn’t the mainstream news reporting how the police broke in and rescued their own kids but nobody elses?!?!?
All first time gun buyers should have to have a psych evaluation done to be able to buy a gun. It’s ridiculous.
? I think the first question to ask would be: did anyone teach them to REASON? Who educated him about the promise he was to make before he could enter civilized society?
One thing I’ll say is that we must call for the death penalty and put the fear of God in those people who has no respect for life!!!!
