Have I mentioned this country is doomed? About ready to homeschool my kids. The Covenant school is exactly the type of place I would have my kids if we lived in Nashville, which my wife is set on doing at some point.

"Mass shootings have skyrocketed" Well, when you change the definition to 4 or more injured..... Happens almost every day in Chicago, but that is not newsworthy for some reason. The Federal Bureau of Investigation doesn't have a mass shooting definition. Instead, the FBI defines "mass murder" as an incident where four or more people are killed, which can include gun violence.
Look at the shitholes @Take The Long Way Home listed. Chitcago makes up 20%

When you think “mass shootings” you think of a mall or a school, not some inner city drug war drive by the baby sitter across the street gets scared and bumps her knee makes 4 injured.

God Bless those LE officers. It takes a special kind of person to go into a situation like that. Heroes.
No doubt. It’s one thing to sign up and train for it. It’s another to blaze through the school not knowing what’s behind each door. I’ve played just enough paintball and call of duty to know i couldn’t do it. 😬.

I try not to think this country is doomed. In the video posted, there are two separate things happening. One, obviously, is the single evil creature whose goal was to take life. The other we see, but it gets glossed over in the horror of the actions of that one creature. There are men, and possibly women, intent on stopping that creature. Many of them, compared to the one.

Hope is not lost, so long as there are people willing to risk their lives for others. With Uvalde, I questioned my faith in humanity.

Occasionally though, there are brighter things emerging from darkness. It's not just first responders, there are actions by average people that may be signs or motivation to not give up, and not give in.

I hope the commanders at Uvalde feel like shit today.

My thanks go out to the LEOs. Job very well done. I'm for on scene, uniformed/armed school safety officers, with a K9 trained to protect the kids. Once it is known or suspected a perp is on campus, immediately unleash the K9. Call it a 'what if'. I'm not an expert. But, we have 3 grandkids, ages 8-10, in school.

The vast majority of the "mass shootings" listed above are due to inner city violence, gang conflict, robbery, and directed fire to specific intended victims.

The FBI acknowledges 61 "mass shootings" in 2021, the last year to have complete (by their definition) records.

As far as other records floating about, depending on the source and methodology, there were somewhere between 7 and 753 "mass shootings" in the US in 2022.

Reports are indicating the perp had considered another school. But, the security at that school made her opt for the Covenant School. What was it about the security at the other school that drove her away from it?

Absolutely it was ok and needed to be released ASAP for many reasons.

This disproves any BS the media can and will spew out. It also lets the investigators control the narrative about the situation and/or officer conduct.

It absolutely was if it deters another one of these mental cases from trying this again.
It was said earlier that this predator chose this school possibly because it had less security than others in the area.
These predators need to know they'll be met with 10 shots to the head immediately and there's no hope of negotiation if they fuck around.

Media reporting guns were legally purchased. If the suspect lied on application, that is not legally purchased. Suspect was seeking mental health care. Didn't Hunter Biden lie on his firearm application?

I've been saying the same thing for years, the K9 would take down a dirt bag and divert their attention away from the kids and staff.

From ABC News:

The video shows the officers entering the school, following the sound of the gunfire to the second floor and finding the suspect in a lobby area on the second floor. After an officer shouted "reloading," the video shows officers Rex Engelbert, a four-year veteran, and Michael Collazo, a nine-year veteran, firing at the suspect.

Hale was shot dead about 14 minutes after the initial 911 call came in, according to police.

Hale, who lived in Nashville, had legally purchased seven guns from five different local gun stores, the chief told reporters Tuesday.

Hale was under a "doctor's care for an emotional disorder," Drake said, and Hale's parents "were under the impression that was when she sold the one weapon" they believed Hale owned.

"As it turned out, she had been hiding several weapons within the house," Drake said.

Investigators searched Hale's home where they seized "a sawed-off shotgun, a second shotgun and other evidence," according to police.

"We do have writings and a book we consider to be like a manifesto," the police chief told ABC News' "Good Morning America." "We do have a map of the school, where it was diagramed how she would enter and how she might proceed to take on potential victims."

Drake had told reporters on Monday that the suspect was female and identified as transgender but didn't immediately provide more details. A police spokesperson later told ABC News that the suspect was assigned female at birth but pointed to a social media account linked to the alleged shooter that included the use of the pronouns he/him.

And then the political spin and messaging followed - with NO mention of mental illness, gender dysphoria (mental illness) and any treatment...

President Joe Biden on Tuesday called the shooting "absolutely heartbreaking" and "senseless." "I never thought when I started my public life that guns would be the No. 1 killer of children in America," he said.

Biden again called on Congress to ban assault weapons. "That should not be a partisan issue -- it's a commonsense issue. We have to act now," he said.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also stressed that Congress must take action on gun legislation.

"What we need from congressional Republicans is courage," she told ABC News' "GMA3" on Tuesday. "What do you say to those parents? What do you say to those families? You can't say to them, 'There's nothing else that can be done.' That's not what their job is as legislators."

The "majority of Americans want common sense gun safety laws, they want to see [an] assault weapons ban. These are weapons of war," she said. "The president has done his part. We need Congress to do their part."

Do you think the families don't want to know or deserve to know what happened and what/how the police quickly stopped the shooting?

On the radio today (Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show) one of them mentioned an unconfirmed rumor that the other school had a "Resource Officer". I'm sure it will come out in the days ahead. It could have been something as simple as glass or steel entry doors.

again, I was thinking more of the families.. tough to watch. IF YOU ARE PART OF THEIR FAMILY! That clear enough?
Thank God I've never been in the position. Part of me would be upset at the idea of it being made public, but part of me would also take a sick enjoyment in watching the one who killed my loved one die.
Maybe I'm not well, or maybe just honest...possibly both.

I also think that I could be so grief stricken, that it wouldn't even effect me one way or the other. I think in shock, numb.

Probably "it" was not able to sneak in a back or side door.

Also, the "it" knew they could shoot out the glass to get through locked doors.

Fuck it....
This isn't about me. This is my opinion. That's it. Thats all. I should have known a opinion on RDP opens you up to people questioning it.
I wasnt asking for anyone's reply.

I'm ok back and forth talk on about many things here .this isn't one of them


Enjoy the thread, all politics already. Didn't take long

Highly recommend home school. It’s a good feeling knowing my kids won’t be subject to trans kids, litter boxes in restrooms, boys in girls restrooms, school shooting, teachers that are just there for the summer vacation etc.

Building a school room right now so it seems a bit more like school and not studying at the dinner table.

Buck Fiden calling for defense weapon ban, how about ban transgenders and politicians? 1 makes us stronger, the other makes us weaker. Who are they working for?
Why would you ban me?? I’ve never shot anyone and I’m far from weak. Had no problem getting a CCW permit either.
But your wish is coming true. 33 states have some type of anti trans bills going on right now.

I just asked a question. And "politics already" - you can thank the politicians for doing that - their knee-jerk reactions to shootings are getting faster and more predictable

Here’s a terrible truth. Banks are more guarded than our children’s schools.

Money > Kids

Banks ($) and politicians and celebrities - they're all much better protected than our children's schools. But it's worth noting that their kids don't go to "our children's schools"

Meanwhile the left's bile pours out of this opinion piece from SF...

Did you read that article?

They are literally saying “crackdown on guns” yet they are also stating why trans community needs to own guns.

The irony in that article is incredible. You can’t make this shit up.

Yes, I read that article. And each paragraph opens up another can of worms - it's all over the place and demonstrates how angry the writer is with anyone it/that doesn't agree with - it speaks for trannies too: Trans people are regular human beings, with our own thoughts, desires and motivations. There’s nothing inherently violent about being trans, and the actions of one member of a demographic is obviously not representative of the rest of us. Trans people are no different in this regard.

Yep. Banks, sporting events, casinos etc etc etc. Each have better security than most elementary schools.

Ban assault rifles? I believe most in favor of that don't even know the definition of an assault rifle. An assault rifle must have the ability to be both fully automatic and semi automatic. Seems the rifles used by these pukes are all semi automatic. So, the capacity of the clips/magazines may be problematic. I recently read some of the AZ gun laws. Appears AZ limits the capacity of rifles to 5 rounds, regardless of their style, AR or otherwise? BTW - AR stands for "armalite rifles" one of the long ago manufactures. AK-47? The A stands for auto, the K is the first letter of the Russian inventors last name, 47 is for 1947 the year it was developed. I'm sure there are many others on here much more knowledgeable than me on this topic.

Let's not forget that NPR said that trans people need to "take up arms" and "protect themselves" last week. Combine that command with a 28 year old that went through puberty as a female and is now most likely on testosterone to transition and you can expect bad results. Many men with high testosterone have rage issues. Imagine having do deal with testosterone suddenly without having it all your life. Sad deal all around but do not blame my guns (sitting at the bottom of a lake in my former boat).

RIP to the victims and somehow comfort to the families.

I have a question about these senseless shootings, when the president comes out and orders flags lowered. Am I wrong in feeling its not right to do? I feel like it is their LAM agenda.

I for one am not buying into the trans hate narrative being generated by this.
The tranny freaks on tic tok and you tube are certainly not representative of any gay person I’ve ever known, even the flamers and cross dressers.
If I decide to go to war with a class group of any kind it will not be because the internet told me to.

ps... those images are from the police body cam..

I've seen this conspiracy theory being spread likely to distract from the real issue - mentally ill tranny shooter
