19 students, 3 adults dead in Texas elementary shooting.

or doors locked, so just anyone cant walk in and 1 entrance only

Complete failure by the school system.

 

[Vol8188]

The act wasn’t. Hell, it was shown that wasn’t necessary.

The ability to get the resources needed for the act, we’re minimal.

Define minimal? 6 months to 1 year of savings for an 18 year old is “minimal”?

Well there may have been a slow response time in TX, but about 40 deputies (plus God knows how many undercover) and 10 K9 are on full display in Huntsville tonight to make sure that no Widespread Panic fans eat, drink or smoke anything in violation of Alabama ordinances. As always an excellent use of resources by the right!!!

Different cities with different agencies with different training with different population sizes

sure. You don’t think there are 18 year olds saving all their money?

When I was a freshman at UT in 91, there was a delay in processing my financial aid at the beginning of the semester. I was at home, in another state one weekend, telling an ex girlfriend about it and she offered to give me the money she had made that summer while working at Belk, I believe. Somewhere between 1-2k. That was 31 years ago.

You believe the right wing of America plans Widespread Panic concerts?

Does it happen? Sure. Is it rare? Absolutely.

Given the kids mental illness and poverty, that makes this rare event even less likely.

The only books by that title I can find are sci-fi fiction. You happen to remember the author?

Edit: found it Beyond a Pale Horse is the title by Milton Cooper

That guy was a nutjob sovereign citizen who attempted to kill his wife and then police

You believe it is rare, ok. Let me know when you get to impossible.

Let’s blame people who had nothing to do with the actual crime

Shouldn’t we look into anything that’s unlikely like how a poor, mentally ill 18 year old acquired a large amount of cash?

I would think someone is doing that.

You seem to be dismissing it as easy, I think it’s fair to say that’s not the case.

Yes, poor, mentally ill 18 year olds are known for having vast savings

Good grief, I’ve been in a ghetto gas station and seen a kid pull a wad of cash out of his pocket that was most likely a grand or more. This isn’t near the miracle you’re making it out to be.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

I think I see the issue here.

8188 thinks 6k is a ****-ton of money.

For an 18 year old in poverty? Yes. That’s a lot of money

What LaPierre could have said: "In the wake of this tragedy, we are going to increase our spending on gun safety education and training and support bipartisan legislation that strengthens school security and improves access to mental health."

What LaPierre said (paraphrased): This is on the backs of RiNOs and Liberals and they're going to continue to attack us with background checks and red flag laws.

Is there an alternative to the NRA that I can direct my money to? I'm not a fan of performance politics.

Kids in poverty are probably more likely to acquire currency for themselves. You don't see trust fund kids flipping burgers.

Kids in poverty are probably more likely to acquire currency for themselves. You don't see trust fund kids flipping burgers.

So you believe it’s easy for an 18 year old to acquire 5-6k in a short time?

If we were to poll 18 year olds I imagine less than 1% of poor kids have 1000 or more
