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.

Obama slammed as tone-deaf for linking Uvalde massacre to George Floyd
Barack Obama sparked the ire of conservative Twitter by mentioning in the same post the Uvalde shooting and the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder.

Are you kidding me? Fuck Obama.
Bullshit. More excuses. Ask me how I know.
Maybe instead of blaming items we should be asking why parents are failing to get these kids help and why the gov is closing down psych wards.

Joe Biden Suggests Americans Owning AR-15s Are 'Sick' People Who Want to 'Kill Someone'
President Joe Biden suggested Thursday that Americans were purchasing guns like AR-15s for the sake of killing people.

Disappointed, yes. Angry... hold off on that.
I hope it was a training issue - it's a small town with a SWAT team. And they may well have a training philosophy that if you didn't yet complete the door kicking class, you don't kick doors. You secure as far as you can, contain, and wait.
This forum regularly lampoons people who think they're going to clear their own house after watching a youtube video.
These cops protecting the parking lot may well be a product of that, right or wrong.
I don't expect the "save their own kids" thing to be true. I do expect they removed as many kids as they could without getting shot at. The rest would be left to "shelter in place". Again, if you don't have the "door kicker" merit badge, you don't kick doors. You secure, contain, and wait.
If both of those expectations were the case, then in some ways it wasn't as horrid a response as is said. They did go in, save who could reasonably be saved per the risk level of their training. If that's true, the wheels came completely off when their training insisted their magic SWAT team would show up in 5 minutes, which would never happen IRL since they're all working side jobs, or playing golf.
I only bring this up from all the terror response stuff I've gone through, and moreso, hazmat response. IF these guys trained with the same... skillset hierarchy? approach as terror and hazmat, then you operate within your skillset and defer stuff above it, to those that have the skillset. I was well trained to lead a 1st due crew to an anthrax terror event, and even run the incident. But that training included a very big line about dealing with the anthrax itself, as an example. I was absolutely trained to lead a crew into rescuing people exposed to it, etc. But anything beyond that, we were all trained to defer to hazmat techs. Same with sarin gas, same with bombs.
For the sake of those cops and fed marshals defending the parking lot, I can only hope that something similar is the case. "Save their own kids"? Maybe saved every room except for the ones where the shooter could wreck anyone who stepped into the hallway, or something. I have trouble believing that some badge walks into a room, grabs exactly his kid, and the rest agree to stay there, lol. More, how would they know which room their kid was even in.
No, I hope they got people out based on the risk level of their training, then "contained" until the merit badge crew showed up. 90 minutes later.

Poll: Majority of Voters Support Arming Teachers with Concealed Firearms
The majority of voters support arming teachers and school staff with concealed firearms, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found Thursday.
www.breitbart.com
This. Along with the fact that has already been pointed out previously that most of these scumbags will commit suicide once confronted.
This isn't a mall, store, party out of control-. This is an elementary school with 10 year old helpless kids locked inside completely defenseless.
There's absolutely no reason to wait.
Hard discipline replaced by time out.
Better team wins replaced by everyone gets a trophy.
Reading, writing and arithmetic replaced by who the fuck knows what.
Lack of respect for elders.
Violence in video games desensitizing kids non stop.
Pill pusher docs getting rich overprescibing kids with God knows what.
And speaking of God... well let's not.
Normalization of deviant behavior.
Yeah, guns are the problem. Lol.

I'll add a bit.
Any religion that the individual has or needs.
It is not about disrespectful comments about ones faith, it is about the faith they have or do not have.
As for being man made, whether you have faith or not, cannot be proven or disproven.
No one can say for sure. I never laugh at another man faith/religion. There are some that I do agree with, but I think poking fun at a person's god is kind of doucebaggery.

I'm not blaming them for the shooting.
I'm blaming them for not doing something about it when they should have.
No, the shooter took a dirt nap. He won't have to face any real consequences in this life.
Not like the Buffalo kid. He may at least have to face the families of those he killed. Although, it sounds as though he may be a sociopath. Hard to say.
Police don't have a duty to protect. Was determined by the courts a while back.
In 2005, Jessica Gonzales sued Castle Rock, Colorado police for failing to arrest her husband, who had violated a protective order, resulting in the murder of her three children. Her case went to the U.S. Supreme Court in The Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, where she lost because even though the order required arresting her husband upon violation, then-Justice Antonin Scalia successfully argued that “a well-established tradition of police discretion has long coexisted with apparently mandatory arrest statutes.”This case builds upon Supreme Court precedent in Deshaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services (1989). In that case, a young boy was repeatedly abused at the hands of his father, something that county Social Services was aware of, but made no effort to remove the child. His mother sued once the four-year old entered a vegetative state, and the Court ruled that that the state did not have a special obligation to protect a citizen against harms it did not create.Based on these precedents, Lozito was told in the New York City case that “no direct promises of protection were made” to him, and therefore he could not sue the police for failing to come to his aid. In other words, the police do not have to act if someone is actively being harmed, they do not have to arrest someone who has violated orders, and they do not have any obligation to protect you from others.
Police Have No Duty to Protect the Public - The American Prospect
Though often unsaid in police reform debates, numerous court precedents have established that cops aren’t obligated to act in the interests of citizens.prospect.org
We are all aware of this.
I will add, I am in the Law Enforcement community. I know what I would do and I know how I would respond. People that know me, they know what I would do.
If these cops sat/stood outside while this was occurring; they are spineless, pieces of shots and they are cowards.
All that stood by should always be remembered as the cowardly POS's that they are. I hope this town never forgets or forgives them.
If true, this makes my stomach, my heart and my mind sick.

https://rumble.com/c/ThePostMillennialClipsTexas Dept of Public Safety (DPS) Official Lt. Chris Olivarez was asked why law enforcement retreated and waited an hour before reengaging the Uvalde elementary school shooter. In his response to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, after an initial few minutes of obfuscation, eventually Lt. Olivarez explains the responding officers could have been shot, if they immediately rushed the gunman.
I mistakenly thought the main lesson from the investigation of the Broward County, Florida, Parkland school shooting was never to wait. Unfortunately, it looks like Parkland and Uvalde will have a lot in common.

The focus now will be on firearms. An interesting fact is that there are about 289 million registered automobiles in the country with an annual death rate of over 38 thousand deaths.
The newest estimate for firearm ownership is about 434 million with a death rate of 45 thousand with over half, 24k being suicide and 19k being used in homicides. A significant portion of that related to criminal gang activity.
No stats on autos used in suicide, homicides or criminal gang activity but clearly if firearm ownership is a national health issue then so is automobile ownership.
What never enters the firearm ownership question for the left wing is the human intent factor.

NiceThe "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.
There's no explaining their way out of it.
Knowing everything we know about previous mass shootings it's incomprehensible they had an entire police force wait outside for over an hour. They cared more about confronting panicked parents who were willing to risk their lives to rush the gunman unarmed than they were to stop the shooter and save the children.
This goes against everything that we've learned how to respond to these. This goes against every shred of human compassion to do nothing while kids were being slaughtered and bleeding out.
This is unimaginable cowardice large scale shirking of duty.
There is no explaining this away. It is what it is that police department is a pathetic embarrassment that doesn't deserve to exist anymore.
The buffalo PD did it right they immediately went in and confronted our loser. They saved lives.

"How easy it is". They purchased it under the same rules that anyone else would.... including the background check. They didn't sit in their underwear drinking double decaf latte's and have it UPS'd to their door. They followed the same rules as everyone else.

We ordered the same gun used in Uvalde. Here’s how easy it was.
After Tuesday’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas left 19 children and two adults dead, we wondered how difficult it was to order a DDM4V7, one of the two rifles the gunman bought a few days after turning 18 years old, according to reports.

That's so disingenuous. No wonder there is so much confusion out there because ignorant soccer moms will read trash like that story which was deliberately written to be misleading. Congratulations losers for making the problem worse and less likely to be solved.
It doesn't appear to have ever happened.
No one was around when he showed up on site. No resource officer was there.
The guy crashed his truck into a ditch and just walked in through an unlocked door.
After he started shooting in the school it sounds like a couple officers went in and when this monster stopped killing kids for a minute and started shooting at police the police retreated out and then just set up a perimeter and left him alone with unarmed children and teachers while he slaughtered them over the next hour without attempting again to stop him.
That's as best as I am able to gather based on current information.
