    I guess the moron shooting his way in triggered alarms and lock down then saved dozens of lives. Wonder if the six killed couldn't get into a locked room. Absolutely devastating. I can't comprehend murdering innocent children.

    These people are so insane they probably would. Steve Scalise was badly injured and nearly murdered and still repeats the same talking points.

    Looks like so much of the response in this situation was really good. School was locked so shooter had to force entry, gave time to activate alarms and get people to safety. Police response was quick and lethal.

    And yet 6 innocent people, including three precious children are dead. Shows you can have all the precautions in the world and if someone has high powered weaponry, it’s still incredibly difficult to prevent them from killing. You can slow it down, but usually not stop it. Yes we should take precautions and invest in them, but if we actually want to try and stop this, at a minimum we have to try and get rid of these high powered guns and make it much more difficult to acquire guns in the first place.

    Girl that received those messages did everything right.

    Called the suicide prevention line and the Nashville PD within 15-30 min of getting them and it was still to late.

    My bad. I didn’t check the account. Saw that same combo of pics in a tweet but my timeline refreshed. Saw it again but didn’t pay attention to the account.

    I was posting for the note part specifically. Def not to shame the girl who received the messages. Not my intention. Found it interesting that someone claims to love a person so much then commits a mass murder. It would destroy the person they love. They’ll forever be associated with the killer. Will likely have their life publicly torn apart. Have life-long mental scars. Not to mention, the numerous police interrogations. But it’s futile to try to understand delusional thinking.

    Patton said she called the Nashville Davidson County Sheriff's Office at 10:13 a.m. to make them aware of the situation and was instructed to call Nashville's non-emergency number.

    “I called Nashville's non-emergency line at 10:14 a.m. and was on hold for nearly seven minutes before speaking with someone who said that they would send an officer to my home. An officer did not come to my home until 3:29 p.m.," Patton said.

    Patton said she wanted to come forward about this circumstance because she believed more urgency should have happened when she reached out to officials for help.

    Always remember to lock the side door, especially when a shooter can just shoot their way through the glass doors with high powered rifles. Fucking former FBI agent chud.

    In fairness to dispatcher and cops, they’re often overwhelmed with calls, especially in a large metro, and it’s not surprising it would take some time to address, what probably seemed in a triage, as a call that didn’t necessarily require immediate police assistance.

    You’d like for the response time to be faster, but man, I don’t know if that’s realistic when it doesn’t sound like there was even a generalized threat to hurt other people.

    Of all the shitty things about Ted Cruz’s take, maybe the worst part is that this was a private school. It wouldn’t have been covered by his bill anyway. Nor would his daughters’ private school here in Houston (where the movie Rushmore was filmed). What a cynical politicization of a tragedy

    EDIT: It now looks like you were referring to the Tennessee congressman saying they're not going to do anything about it, but the point still stands.

    Yeah I don't really get the morality police finger wagging when people are constantly feeling like nothing is worth doing when politicians like this stop us from saving children's lives. At the very least those politicians shouldn't be drawing air into their lungs.

    You don’t get finger wagging over saying maybe it would be a good thing if those people’s children were slaughtered too? Really?

    If you don’t, forget moral high ground, you have no morality at all.

    Suffice to say the maga mouthbreather side of my family is finding out the hard way that if you aren't rich, the cops don't give a single fuck about you -- won't even follow up on a missing persons report or properly investigate a crime scene.

    Did I say it was a good thing to wish death on those politicians kids? What I am explicitly saying is that every single day we're reminded how the GOP is literally helping kill people through legislation and inaction on things like simple gun control, and every single day I come closer to understanding how a huge violent backlash happened under The Terror in the French Revolution.

    I know you're like the center left poster that thinks slow legislative change somehow will save the world from burning us all, but there are those of us who have kids of our own and are being left with little choice on what we think will save their generation from having an absolute hellscape of a political system.

    I feel pretty confident that these politicians love guns more than their own kids. Can anybody name a single gun dork Republican who would come out in favor real gun legislation with teeth if they had a personal loss? I can’t.

    Their own dead kids wouldn’t make a dent, so it’s kind of a pointless discussion, imo.

    Only GOP politician of any statute that I can remember trying to do anything on this issue was Pat Toomey, and even his efforts were fairly feeble.
