I have actually been extremely impressed by the composure and reaction of all the parents interviewed of children killed or injured in Uvalde. Makes me very proud to be a fellow Texan.

Tragedy after tragedy. Those poor kids.

After everything that community has and is going through, I hope they get through Sunday when the Potato visits. Talk about piling on...

Yah - I wish they would just stay away, but it’s expected. There is already division starting up on social media. It’ll be a chit-show.

Heard a good dad story yesterday from a lady that works at a bank near the school. About the time everyone’s phones started blowing up and man that works there took off out the door. He went over to the school and broke out a window and started pulling kids out of the classroom where his daughter was. Apparently his daughter called and told him what was happening and he didn’t even hesitate.

That’s an understatement

I think he meant to say dumb [censored],

Speaking with a friend's dad's once, he explained his reason for being agnostic by saying he's "a scientist." 'Dude's a lab tech at a health facility.

Hero in plain clothes

This should not have happened the way it did. Hopefully LEO's and others will learn from this. Makes me sick.

The shooter entered one of the schools back door. Why was it not locked.

After it was revealed on Thursday that not only did police delay their response to sending tactical teams into the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex. amid a school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead but prevented parents from entering, the Wall Street Journal reported that one mother sprinted into the school to get her children, over objections from law enforcement.
Angeli Rose Gomez drove 40 miles to the school upon hearing of the shooting, and she arrived, said "The police were doing nothing. They were just standing outside the fence. They weren't going in there or running anywhere."

While state officials said that police were at the school mere moments after the teen gunman entered the school, barricading himself in a classroom and opening fire on young students, they also said that officers were unable to gain access to the classroom.
Gomez said that she was only one of several parents at the school demanding that officers stop waiting around and go into the school. It was then that "federal marshals approached her and put her in handcuffs," the Journal reports.
The marshals told her she was being arrested for "intervening in an active investigation." Gomez was able to convince local law enforcement to free her, but said she also saw a father pepper-sprayed, and another tackled and thrown to the ground by law enforcement as he tried to go to the school. His 10-year-old daughter was massacred in the slaughter.
Once freed, Gomez moved away from the crowd, broke into a run, jumped a fence, and ran inside to rescue her children. "She sprinted out of the school with them," the Journal reports.
The shooter had 40 minutes to an hour before law enforcement went in to neutralize him. He was eventually shot and killed by a border patrol agent who also sustained injuries.
Reports on social media showed footage of other parents trying to urge law enforcement to act, and to try to get into the school themselves. Police kept parents out.
A woman in one clip can be heard yelling "Shoot him or something!"
A man can be heard to say "They're all just f*cking parked outside, dude. They need to go in there."
Police had set up a perimeter around the building while the shooter was actively massacring small children.
Children who were in the school at the time and survived the shooting recounted their own stories of horror. One boy hid under a table-clothed table while the shooter killed children in their class. A young girl heard the shooter say "What do I have here?" as he opened the classroom door and began firing.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Secure the damn schools…….it’s been confirmed by DPS this nut job walked in the school before being confronted by law enforcement……. How much does secure locking doors and video surveillance cost? Not as much as sports facilities…… it’s about priorities…..

Testing [censored] all day for parasites. Sounds like the life

I hate to say it but schools will end up like prisons when it’s over,, what pisses me off is they can’t afford a few extra armed cops on the payroll but they can’t damn sure afford that 20 million dollar football field,,, priorities are all F’d up these days..

…..a person that doesn’t have the ability to think with their brain…..thanks for volunteering…..

40 billion dollars would give 8000 school districts 5 million dollars for security.

I think a lot needs to change, from school design to school placement close to police stations. This may be out there, but maybe even some cs gas canisters.

There is no reason to troll these guys. What kids are going through is failed family structure. Letting liberal teachers push their agendas. I pay for private school, public schools are a complete failure.

Government and adults have convinced kids that there are more than two genders. That men can compete as women. The problems is letting social media influence thoughts and identity. They are more responsible for the deterioration of America than Smith n Wesson.

Yep…said it back on page 4 or something. Failure #1 was school was unsecured. Schools need to be locked down like Ft. Knox.

40 billion puts 3 armed guards in EVERY SINGLE public AND private school in the entire US and pays each person $100,000 per year. We just sent 40 bil to Ukraine and spend roughly 50 billion per year in aid to foreign countries. Y’all are making this way too complicated. It’s not about money. It’s really an easy problem to solve. The problem is politicians - both sides of the aisle- don’t give a flying [censored] about your kid unless they’re dead and they can politicize their death and further push their own agendas and pad their pockets.

Thundervee, this is probably one of your more sane responses to something that deserves no sane response at all. This guy is a self-identified troll just looking to stir the pot and light some fire under our bums, and you responded not terribly. Are you turning a corner or just tired out from blasting other folks in other threads?


BTW, just razzing you man....

What's your address? We'll ship Irish Bob to you. Y'all are both excellent at making azzes of yourselves.

Agree. Hate to hear that brother.

[censored] you, we are Texans and do what we damn well please you troll. You liberal screwjobs have not helped the great people of Colorado at all.

They are adding up though.

I agree. It is unfortunate but is will be what it is I guess.
