It's almost like telling people for nearly 50 years that life has no value if you don't want it to has had some negative consequences.
Shooting at Uvalde Texas elementary school
- Thread starter Catskillkid
- Start date
2000 years of being "good Christians" didn't stop them from molesting little boys and covering it up.

Maybe It is just me but, has anyone heard any media outlet even mention that maybe there is a connection between these teen terrorists and the video games they are playing? I have nothing against the first person shooter games but for a kid in his early formative years with other outstanding issues (family life sucks, bullied at school, etc.) to be subjected to this kind of non-stop violence, it has to have an affect on his mindset. If nothing else it could put ideas in his head and would have a desensitizing affect on his perception of the consequences of his actions.

Ithas been studied many times. No real link. Most people understand the difference between a make believe video game and actually shooting a real person. I played pin the tail on the donkey as a kid, but I didn't take that as a green light to start spearing farm animals with pins and needles.
Every one of these shooters is totally fucked up in the head. Playing call of duty didn't cause that.
Except it doesn't.
Yes the cops are useless and have no duty to protect, but this AGAIN takes the blame away from the only place it lies.
Places the blame does not lay:
Violent video games
The NRA
The gun manufacturer
Social media
God /lack thereof in school
The gun
The president
Immigration policies
Background checks
Etc.
It's laughable how fast people take blame away from the actual responsible party in every one of these fiascos and then they say "OMG, why did it again!? :O"

No History Regents Tests This Year
In a letter released Tuesday, state Education Commissioner Betty Rosa wrote that officials “determined there is content on the new Regents Examination in United States History and Government that has the potential to compound student trauma caused by the recent violence in Buffalo.” So no history Regent exams, they were going to be June 1, but now, they’re not going to be taking them at all.

There is but one cause to these events.
The people.
Banning guns, hardening schools, background checks, arming teachers, resource officers, etc. will not change anything. All the elements of all these events have existed for decades. It is the mindset, or lack thereof, of the people that has changed. Focus on that one problem. That's where the answers lie.

Here's the thing that bothers me most about a DELAY...
One thing that War has taught us, is that the sooner we can get those who are wounded, to medical care, the better the chance they have at surviving!
So waiting, aside from confronting and eliminating the threat, may very well have CONTRIBUTED to the deaths that occured!!!
Yeah, read that again...
Because we know applying pressure to a wound can help tremendously. We know that an major bleed, clamped can save a life, maybe lose a limb, but still, preserve life!
Delay... Delay has absolutely NO advantage in an active shooter situation. And I'm curious on who wrote what policy or operation manual that would prescribe a delay...
If a squad car came upon gangbangers shooting up the neighborhood, would the responders sit and wait until they were done? Maybe hoping they ran out of ammo? I'm so confused...

The "won't somebody think of the children" of my day was Postal 2.
One of the few games I know of where you can use a live cat as an AR suppressor to eviscerate an army of rabid Gary Colemans as you pee on their dismembered corpses.
It sounds like as best as I can gather with the information publicly been released.....
school resource officer let the shooter enter the building without engaging him. Then local Police showed up and cared more about setting up a perimeter and controlling the panicking parents as the killer was left to himself with a rifle shooting kids in a school for 40ish minutes waiting for the border patrol bortac (tactical team) to arrive to enter the school and engage the shooter.
Texas police defend 'complex' shooting response as more details emerge
Law enforcement officials in Texas defended their response to the Uvalde elementary school shooting amid questions about why officers waited an hour to engage the shooter who killed 19 children and two teachers.
This is the scene outside the school with local police more concerned with keeping the parents out of the school than themselves going in to protect the children waiting for the border patrol team to show up. By all accounts as this scene is playing out parents are hearing shooting. They are aware more in kids are dying and wounded who could survive with medical care are bleeding out.
Angeli Rose Gomez, who had children in second and third grade, told the Journal that she “convinced local Uvalde police officers whom she knew to persuade the marshals to set her free. Around her, the scene was frantic. She said she saw a father tackled and thrown to the ground by police and a third pepper-sprayed. Once freed from her cuffs, Gomez made her distance from the crowd, jumped the school fence, and ran inside to grab her two children. She sprinted out of the school with them.”

Very Disturbing Updates From Texas School Shooting, Gunman Fired Outside School for Twelve Minutes, Federal Marshals Blocked Frantic Parents From School Before Shooting Started
The Wall Street Journal has some updated information that is extremely disturbing.TEXAS – […] “Victor Escalon, a regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said in a briefing that the now-deceased gunman, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, lingered outside Robb Elementary for 12 minutes firing shots before walking into the school and barricading himself in a classroom where he killed 19 children and two teachers.
Mr. Escalon said he couldn’t say why no one stopped Ramos from entering the school during that time Tuesday. Most of the shots Ramos fired came during the first several minutes after he entered the school, Mr. Escalon said. People who arrived at the school while Ramos locked himself in a classroom, or saw videos of police waiting outside, were furious.
“The police were doing nothing,” said Angeli Rose Gomez, who after learning about the shooting drove 40 miles to Robb Elementary, where her children are in second and third grade. “They were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.”
DPS officials previously said an armed school officer confronted Ramos as he arrived at the school. Mr. Escalon said Thursday that information was incorrect and no one encountered Ramos as he arrived at the school. “There was not an officer readily available and armed,” Mr. Escalon said.

This horrible event is about to get much worse. If these reports and accounts released so far are accurate people are going to think it's not possible the police are so incompetent that it must be a conspiracy to get a higher kill count. That's how bad this is. It's so bad to some people it will be incomprehensible so they will default to what they think is the most logical outcome that it was deliberate.
The false flag talk is about to exponentially increase.
This is a cluster fuck of incompetence on an epic scale.
I am awaiting more information to be released to understand how this went so wrong.
I hope I'm wrong. I want to believe that these accounts are throwing me off and warping my opinions and that they're false. I want to find out that these were taken out of context. I pray it's not genuine. Sadly I'm prepared to be thoroughly disappointed and angry.

There is absolutely nothing wrong about that, I know many of the same type. The point is there are others (notably not many in this day and age) that would want to ccw, and their hands should not be tied. It's a better option than locking the doors and hiding under a desk.
Thanks, doctor.

American policymakers should look to Israel for guidance. Living constantly with the threat of terrorism, Israel solved the problem of school security long ago by hardening the target and tightening security practices. Every school with 100 or more students has at least one well-trained armed guard stationed at entrances to monitor who comes and goes.
These guards operate under the auspices of the Israel Police and undergo rigorous training every four months. Roughly 40 percent of applicants fail the training test, ensuring that only the cream of the crop defend the schools."

Use Israel's approach to fighting terror to stop school shootings
After Santa Fe and Parkland, gun control is a waste of time.
