    yeah but this board is full of dickheads waiting to fucking rage on folks so you know, what about their rights?

    The key to TMB is not to try and listen or clarify anything. Just assume the absolute worst and start throwing shitbombs. It's in the rulebook.

    Some people on this board follow news/politics more closely than others. They live and breathe it, so things are more obvious to them than your casuals. When a casual says something, they fall under scrutiny.

    It's the same if you're talking about the NBA thread or anything. Basically TMB gonna TMB. Don't be surprised when you get answered by cunts who know everything. Try to learn something

    I don’t think Eathan was chudding — more of a lazy drive-by (both in wording and intent) coupled with a subconscious inclination to give Republicans some benefit of the doubt based in part due to attending a school in the South.

    Ok let's make this clear in case it somehow wasn't already:

    If you're still a republican, doing republican things, you are a piece of shit. And should receive absolutely zero benefit of the doubt. Indeed, you should only get benefit of the piece of shit.

    Some key examples:
    Re: all republicans are pieces of shit. I have some republicans in my family. Are they pieces of shit? Yes, they are. Necessarily.

    Re: benefit of the shit. Yes, it should absolutely be the solid base assumption that republicans voted against the gun control bill because they are complete pieces of shit. In fact, the republicans that voted for it, I assume, likely have some shitty motive for doing so and I will only consider the beneficence of their intent once it's proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

    What else have republicans earned but this?

    I feel like it's pretty clearly established by now that most of my posts will be drive-by (hopefully not all lazy)

    I provide content - but I don't exactly edit everything before posted and I'm usually on mobile

    I'm ready to let this topic die (or me weighing in on it), I didn't expect it to be a thing just assumed someone that had followed it more closely than myself would give a quick synopsis on the vote.

    Uvalde School Police Chief Intentionally Ditched Radio During Shooting

    HE SPEAKS

    AJ McDougall
    Breaking News Reporter

    Published Jun. 10, 2022 1:31AM ET
    In his first interview since the Robb Elementary School shooting, the man widely seen as responsible for the delayed police response told the Texas Tribune that it had been a deliberate decision to abandon his primary tool of communication with dozens of other officers before entering the school building on May 24. The choice to ditch his radio, Uvalde school district police Chief Pete Arrendondo said, was tactical—he believed carrying his radios would slow him down or hit him as he ran. “I’ve never heard anything like that in my life,” police tactics expert Steve Ijames told the Tribune, explaining that officers are trained to take their radios everywhere. In the interview, published a day after The New York Times offered the first confirmation that Arrendondo had known that there were children alive and trapped with the shooter, he claimed that he had not known that he was the incident commander on the scene, and also explained that he had been foiled by a locked door, wasting time “praying” as he tried upwards of two dozen keys. Arredondo explained his 16-day silence following the shooting as a desire not to compound collective grief or cast blame

    Uvalde Schools Police Chief Pete Arredondo Defends Mass Shooting Response
    By Bill Galluccio

    June 10, 2022

    spoke publically for the first time in an interview with the Texas Tribune.

    Arredondo pushed back on claims that officers waited outside for 77 minutes while the 18-year-old gunman massacred children inside a classroom that he barricaded himself in.

    "Not a single responding officer ever hesitated, even for a moment, to put themselves at risk to save the children," Arredondo said. "We responded to the information that we had and had to adjust to whatever we faced. Our objective was to save as many lives as we could, and the extraction of the students from the classrooms by all that were involved saved over 500 of our Uvalde students and teachers before we gained access to the shooter and eliminated the threat."

    Arredondo said that there were many reasons it took over an hour to take down the shooter. He said that he was in the hallway outside of the classroom and requested tactical gear, and called for a sniper to assist. He also said he had to wait for somebody to bring him the keys to the classroom, noting the door was reinforced and could not be easily kicked down.

    When the keys finally arrived, Arredondo said most of them didn't work.

    "Each time I tried a key, I was just praying," Arredondo said.

    After trying dozens of keys, he finally opened the door, and officers stormed inside the classroom and fatally shot the gunman.

    Arredondo said he did not know about the 911 calls made by students inside the classroom because he left both of his radios outside when he entered the building. He told the paper he left the radios behind because he thought they would slow him down and noted that they don't always work inside of the school.

    Arredondo also pushed back on claims that he ordered officers to stand down and claimed that he did not believe he was the incident commander at the scene.

    "I didn't issue any orders," Arredondo said. "I called for assistance and asked for an extraction tool to open the door."

    The U.S. Department of Justice and the Texas Department of Public Safety have both launched investigations into the response of the police. In addition, the Texas Legislature has formed a committee to investigate the shooting.

    Just when you think the story can’t get worse it does. The poor survivors will never be okay. We will be reading about the lingering impact for years. I hope they all get into therapy asap and we don’t read about more further tragedies.
