At a meeting in Uvalde, Texas last night, parents and students grilled the school board, demanding answers and accountability, after the shooting that left 19 students and two teachers dead. The anger boiled over for more than three hours after a blistering preliminary report found “egregiously poor decision making” by the first responders. Many of the victim’s families are calling for the firing of school district police chief Pete Arredondo who was heard on video pleading with the shooter.

44 Americans shot by other Americans each day. 320 mass shootings so far this year. The ONLY country on Earth that has school shootings.
American parents protest at school meetings about? A: School shootings B: Masks.
The US constitution has already been amended 27 times and as easy to amend as abortion law.
There are guns all around the world but mass shootings don't happen all around the world. The problem is Americans.
Watching this and those on the panel not answering the questions for these families says a lot. Plus talking about the coming school year and allowing the kids to return to the place where many of their class mate's were killed NO . these children have gone through enough if sent back it will traumatize them if not yet then later it will. Prayers for the families .
JESUS CHRIST DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS AND HE WAS BURIED AND HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY THE BIBLE 1ST CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 15 VERSES 1 THROUGH 4 AND JOHN CHAPTER 3 VERSES 16 THROUGH 21 THE BIBLE
All those shitbags need to be terminated, charged & sent to prison for dereliction of duty, conspiracy, aiding & abetting the shooter
The cops wouldn't let parents or other cops through. It's almost if they knew the grand plan or what the REAL directive was and knowing the Latino children were to be slaughtered and the Uvalde PD had to take part of letting it just happen. Let the plan unfold. Am I right? This doesn't pass the smell test to me at all. I'm thinking this was a Don Trump hit on Latino children and their families. Look how cultish the cops are acting like robots. Worse than normal like a good little complaint cultists. Something isn't right here. Someone needs to subpoena Don's phone records leading up to the shooting. Trump hates Mexicans, straight up. Something isn't right here at all!
"I'm not a coward, I was a combat veteran in Vietnam!" The fact that this school board leader even felt the need to defend himself and make himself look good shows he clearly cares more about himself than any of those kids that died or families that suffered tragic loss.
376 police officers 376 and none of them couldn't take down one active shooter. All of them should be fired not just Pete Arredondo.
"our children found not worthy of being saved" This valid POINT should be directed at the local police force the local government AND the BIDEN administration. NOT the School Board which had nothing to do with it UNLESS they were in collusion to delay the saving process. Which could very well be the case. We have a bunch of satanists running the show.
why no blame for the mom, who knew her son was a problem when she sent him to live with the Grandparents
Did the cops bring in a food truck?
I guess in Texas elementary school children's lives don't matter. What happened to a "good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy"? Texas voters need to clean house.
🚨🚨🚨The gunman was CONTAINED to that ONE AREA If the 👮🏽♂️POLICE👮🏼♀️ had not stood 🚓GUARD🚔 in that hallway, the gunman would of had FREE REIGN of 📕THE ENTIRE SCHOOL! 📌 650+ students, teachers, & other faculty were SAVED thanks to the TACTICAL RESTRAINT of the police which states do not bust into a classroom full of little kids because they could be hurt in the CROSSFIRE 🔥🔥🔥
All the police officers should be removed of duties and never be hire again as police officer. They fell the training wasted money to the city. If the police responded after an hour, then they didn't protect the children. No leadership in the police forces.
"I am not a coward, I am a combat veteran of Vietnam"
Nobody gives two fat f..ks what you were, are, or plan to be. If you are not a coward, then you should take action, fire Pete, fire the cowards who didn't act, and step down. A true warrior will know when to step down when they lost a fight.
There was little, if any, Leadership exhibited on May 24.
Since that time, those investigating what happened have pretty much botched that, as well.
Do we really know what happened?
Definitively, all we know is that 21 died, others were wounded, and one guy was the perpetrator of the shooting.
I get people are emotional and want a simple scapegoat to the shooting but there were multiple failures at multiple levels. One person isn't responsible for all this and the shooter is the ultimate villain in this.
All of the good people must have left law enforcement after the BLM treatment and vax mandates.
Now it's all cowardly dimwits and sadistic psychopaths with badges remaining.
the blame starts with the supreme court. they ruled in 1989 that cops have no duty to protect citizens.
The Uvlade police department are cowards
I get it happened, but we shouldn't be focused on the cops and more-so should be focused on the issue that school shootings have become a normal in America
yours is the only area (USA) on this planet where very often someone decides to take a gun and make massacres in elementary schools, cinemas, concerts and many other places. Ask yourself why this happens and solve your problem.
Something needs to be done.
He says he isn’t a coward and a combat vet of Vietnam yet when faced with imminent threat he just stood on his phone and did nothing and didn’t take charge I’m sure in his unit he just hid and let other take command
Anyone can be a combat veteran in any war front doesn't mean any s hit
This makes 300 unfortunate occurrences in the US. I fear the odds of these occurrences can now be calculated. That’s a scary feeling with no end in sight 💔
