but that doesn't mean they have the type of tactical response units ready on a moment's notice. I'm telling y'all, the only scenario that makes any sense is that the Governor's office thought this was an illegal and they wanted to score political points with their "secure the border" bullshit so they wanted Border Control to handle it.
So if I'm reading between the lines, Arian Foster is saying that not only is Herschel Walker's brain absolute mush due to CTE, but he is also a reprehensible piece of shit person. I agree with Arian Foster.
What I do know is that Uvalde has a lot of border patrol agents and DPS troopers living there with there families.
Okay? Let's game this out. The precrime department is flagged by a 14 year old saying 5/10 forbidden phrases on social media which predicts the potentiality of a mass shooter. What's next? Surrogate moms give him hourly hugs to help him feel loved? Lobotomy? Prison time until he's over 18? Force his eyelids open to watch happy images like Clockwork Orange?
I agree with you. The reason Border Patrol entered while the town's police and SWAT teams didn't is because they thought they had a political win on their hands.
Which means Greg Abbott effectively sentenced 21 people to their deaths while trying to get a political point or two
CNN’s Manu take notes this is how you follow Up when people like Cruz and Rubio start their lazy deflections
Honestly if Abbott disrupted/broke the chain of command and protocol and it resulted in the deaths of 21 people he needs to be charged with something, wes tegg ? Who ever said we need the FBI down there is right I think
By telling police to stand down and try to let Border Patrol get the W thinking he was an illegal immigrant
By having the police hang back and wait for Border Patrol because they thought the kid was an immigrant.
The "make schools have a single point of entry" things is insane. Most schools ALREADY have a single point of entry and if your talking single point of entry or departure, thats what one calls a shooting gallery and a massive fire hazard.
That would be astonishing. There were fake rumors yesterday that he was an illegal from El Salvador on the run for murder. I'm not shocked he would do something like that
I fucking hate Abbott, but this seems like we are taking WILD leaps right ? Any evidence other than the cops being cowardly pieces of shit?
"Republican endorsed school carnage" is good Keith, but why not go with "Republican endorsed school murder" ?
I doubt there's anything in the Texas criminal code that could really cover that situation even if it's true. Maybe parents could sue him but also probably not
I read na article yesterday that two police were wounded when they entered the room. It was shrapnel from yhe gunman shooting the police shield.
absolutely as I noted above this is wild conjecture but the information we’ve been provided isn’t adding up
The most likely scenario is that the local cops were scared. But for a town with a $4M police budget and its own SWAT team to hang back and set a perimeter while CBP takes charge seems really weird.
Yeah that would have been part of the initial reports. Also every cop within a 100 mile radius would have been there and bragging they were the one that took down the shooter.
Btw, “vote harder,” let me go ahead and spoil it for whoever needs to hear it that neither party is likely to ever reach 60 senators again, but especially not Dems.
But the Republicans will blast the filibuster next time to do something terrible and the Dems will be just flabbergasted.
What are the chanes if it was white kids being killed by a hispanic guy they would have busted down the door and gone full Call of Duty?
If they had an agenda, sure. Thankfully, we are very lucky that they are so fucking stupid out of ideas.
For all the plaintive speeches by Biden and the other Ds, any effort not including the shaming of Manchin and any other filibuster lovers is the same as not trying at all.
We need to normalize 2 things immediately. 1. Suing gun manufacturers and stores that sell the weapons, and 2. Settlements from excessive force and police violence coming out of police budgets There is no earthly explanation for why money awarded to families of victims comes out of additional taxpayer funds. Daniel Defense deserves financial ruin, as does every other manufacturer of AR-15s.
