Texas School shooting 19 children and 2 adults murdered

I'm sure some of the Republicans and other gun nuts would favour arming the children, I'd bet some of those eejits has already proposed such a thing.

Impossible the teacher would have the power of good guiding their bullets guaranteeing no collateral damage.

The AR is one of the most versatile rifles that there is. It's highly customisable, easy to use, lightweight and doesn't have much of a kick. Quite the opposite of what you said, it is actually more useful than many other types of guns would be.

You reckon every AR15 owner bought their gun for mass murder or to look cool and not for the functionality of the gun? Okey dokey. You are wrong of course but hey, that's ok too.

The teachers will also end up getting blamed and expected to uphold results in these cases. Unlike cops who have the job of dealing with stressful situations and therefore can do whatever the hell they want because you can't expect them to deal with any stressful situation apparently.

Really that budget should be examined more closely now. How are they using 40% of the budget and what can they realistically use to respond to a case like this. I have to believe that whatever it was spent on was not there at the shooting so at what point will it actually get used?

This is a problem that is obviously getting worse and worse. Where do you see it ending?

This is absolutely appalling. Pure cowardly scum is the only way to describe them. The 2 teachers died trying to protect those kids, while the police let it happen, only caring about protecting themselves and their own kids. They were happy that the shooter was 'contained' in the classroom so left him there. How is this anything other than saying those kids were seen as expendable to them and sacrificed so that they didn't have to endanger themselves? The one guy who did eventually go in and kill him is a **** hero.

They should all be sacked or even better, charged with accessory to murder but we all know nothing will happen. Assholes.

I mean, this is just unbelievable

That's the kind of empathetic suggestion a thread like this really needs.

It could’ve but it didn’t. Have you heard of people dying of a broken heart ever ? It does happen after the death of a loved one. But you try and make whatever point you’re trying and failing to make.

And I still regard it as completely mental that teachers should carry guns in class and still think it's a matter of time, especially if that policy gets expanded.

Pardon my ignorance on American Senate and Congress set up... but I thought it was the Democrats who has the majority in both?

According to a report released earlier ,the shooter crashed his truck outside the school at 11:28 am ,and shot at several bystanders before entering the school unchallenged around 11.40 , when police arrived he was already in the classroom at 11:44/5 and when he started shooting at police officers who withdrew and waited for a border patrol tactical unit to arrive am hour later at 12:45 who stormed the room and killed the shooter .

That is beyond fucked up in my opinion ,now I know they needed to secure the school and wait essentially for some kind of swat unit, but to stand by for an hour and listen to them children being executed is beyond belief ,

20 odd cops all armed left an armed headcase in a room full of children for an hour .

Unforgivable
