Making A Tragedy of 21 Murders Worse
I turns out that the police response to the Uvalde shooting was a shitshow, and then local authorities lied to the media about it. Local and state authorities reported that the shooter was engaged by officers on the way in to the school. FALSE. Reports were then issued that SWAT took out the shooter. Looks like that is false, too. Then it was reported that an off duty border patrol officer shot the shooter. We don’t know yet. Video has now emerged and witness accounts confirm that police hung back for AN HOUR before going in.
Could lives have been saved if they moved faster? We don’t know yet, but the likely answer is yes. What we do know is that Abbott and his crew spent the better part of two days grandstanding, giving false information, and spouting bullshit about how gun laws don’t work. We also know that this catastrophe clearly demonstrates that the “good guy with a gun” myth is bullshit. This is the logical result of allowing weapons of war into the general populace and there is no ifs ands or buts about that conclusion.
Ted Cruz continues to show his ass to the media spouting nonsense about arming teachers and closing off all but one door to schools. He’s like a broken record spouting his bullshit and lies, complaining about Democrats proposing legislation he hates, but offering no alternatives of his own. He’s a useless bag of shit and I wish he’d go back to Canada and leave Texas to Texans. We don’t need his “help”.
Law suits coming soon.
1appears that this “incident” tops out the other similar “incidents” wherein the repubs can now be described as “CLUSTERF**K PARTY”.
2I think a side effect of testosterone is cowardice when confronted by a tough situation. Staying outside for over an hour sort of validates that. They want unarmed teachers to do their job for them apparently.
3This is what over 20 years of GOP control have wrought. Everyone is literally running scared. People literally freeze to death. Thousands die in a pandemic. Women have fewer rights than they did before. LGTBQ+ are demonized and have fewer rights. These are the “fruits” of their labors.
4Whenever I want a sane view of events I turn to your blog.
But please don’t even joke about sending Cruz to Canada.

Politics over people…
8Don’t sell guns to anyone under 18. It’s that fu**ing stupid in this case and the very least anyone can do.
9It’s now looking to me like the presser abbott, cruz, cornyn, etc did was them trying to spin the story their way before the press could get the real story out.
10united front and all that.
Then claim the fake news is trying to slander the great state of Texas.
Sounds like a plan.
P. P. @8, BINGO!!!
11The local *police* were waiting for the Fox *news* crew to turn up to put a *good look* on the situation .
12The rePUKEians are even worse than any have depicted because they want to arm teachers that they can’t trust, and they KNOW guns are bad as they OUTLAW guns where they are gathering!!!! They are ahole hypocrites!!!!
13If you poured salt on Cruz, would he melt?
14Tom @ 3 You get what you recruit for.
15The police milled around for an hour, harassing parents and waiting for a SWAT team, or Border Patrol, or the 82nd Airborne. Meanwhile two teachers died trying to protect their students.
It’s simple. Defund the police and pay teachers more.
