All over America this week, people are shocked and horrified by the mass killing of children at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The horror plays out in images that can’t be set aside: A small army of police from local, state, and federal agencies, many wearing body armor and armed with long guns, responding to the ongoing mass murder of children by forming a perimeter around the school and tackling parents to keep them from entering the campus where their children were dying and no one was doing anything to stop the killing.

We are dying from within. I told my husband 10+ years ago that we were finished without an EMP or something to take down the internet. The internet, for all its good, is poison. Sadly, we are producing shocking numbers of self important, self involved, sociopathic narcissists instead of fully formed souls.

you have to wonder if the past year or so of the Defund the Police crowd has affected and demoralized them. why should they bother? they'll be demonized no matter what they do. if they had gone in and "neutralized" the shooter, would they be accused of "anti-Latinx" racism?
then again, this kind of cowardice seems all too common- we're going to vaccinate children and subject them to the harms of the vaccine for a disease that has no affect on them to make old people and teacher's unions "feel" safe. doctors are going to do what they are told, rather than what they know to be right for their patients to protect their careers over those patients. hospitals put covid sufferers on ventilators, not because it helped the sick, but because it protected the medical staff from their infected exhalations.
for a magnificent angry essay on this subject, read Vinay Prasad's substack called Duty (https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/duty?s=r). here's a pretty conventional oncologist/hematologist who is so disgusted by what he's seen in his profession that he's becoming radicalized. when you read this, you can't stop thinking about those police who didn't take the risks that are part of their job, who didn't do their duty.

Chris, why do you think the police behaved as they did?
edit to add: I'm sure that others have been on this comparison, tbh, I have not been following this shooting as closely...but does this not have some of the same strange incongruent behaviors as the Capitol Police on 1/6? Opening up the barricades and so forth?
Brutal but spot on. It's infuriating. The dark side of me thinks that they wanted those kids dead so that they could push their gun control agenda. But then I think even the worst human beings in the world wouldn't go that far. And yet we have video of them going that far. We need answers. We need televised trials of the police chief and responding officers. We need to know why this happened.

Somebody, some nameless, faceless, totally unaccountable, bureaucrat gave the order that resulted in large numbers of law enforcement officers, from many agencies, armed to the eyebrows, cordoning off the school to prevent parents from attempting to rescue their children. Which they did very effectively. Unfortunately. WHO is this person? I want the name of the man, or woman, who was so paralyzed by the fear of being held accountable, or doing the wrong thing, that they instructed law enforcement to do nothing. For a fucking hour! While children were being murdered!
This is what anarchotyranny looks like. State organs that refuse to protect you, refuse to let you protect yourself, and refuse to let you talk about what they're refusing to do.
This tragic and evil shooting shows all the hallmarks of a false-flag event. The timing, the weaponry used, the door left ajar, the police response etc etc
Ok...I was crying, then I was crying from laughing. Well done.
In other news; In 2000, the City of Compton police had so much corruption, the City council disbanded the dept. L.A. county Sheriffs took over, adding another station. Uvalde should do the same. Let Uvalde County Sheriff's and DPS take over law enforcement. $4 million a year, which is 40% of the city's budget for what? A bunch of blowhards in cowboy hats, playing dress up?
We can’t forget, either, how we just spent the last two years treating children. In all ways we have repeatedly sacrificed children’s well-being for the psychological safety of the adults charged with taking care of them. We want freedom to indoctrinate them with whatever godforsaken ideology we feel like, and use them as a pawn in culture wars, while forcing them to mask for fear that they will kill grandma. We separated them from friends and access to anything that tethered them to anything resembling a normal life for many of them. But felt justified because adults were freaking trying to save themselves. And we wonder what’s going to create a tidal wave of problems, not only in the youth themselves, but in the way we have literally learned to treat children. This event is horrific on every single level, but government has ultimately shown their hand as caring absolutely zero for the ACTUAL well-being of children. They’ve been destroying them for years, and NOT WITH GUNS.

Our government has never been more controlling or coercive while also never being weaker than it is right now.
