Another gunman, another elementary school

[Anonymous]

Just saw a video on Twitter of the grandfather walking a reporter through his home where the boy lived and where he shot his grandmother. You’d think the police would have that place locked down and secured as a crime scene and part of the investigation. What is going on down there?

+1. I also wanted to hear from the adults who started busting windows and pulling kids out. THEY are the heroes.

Let’s face face, for all the talk about common see we see gun reform, a universal federal background check and mandatory waiting period with no private sale exemption would be great but would not have stopped this and most other school shootings. If nothing comes back from NCIS the purchaser simply gets to walk out with the gun and unlimited ammo in a few minutes in most states.

Then there’s the related issue of ensuring that background checks can be completed by the FBI within three days if a sale is flagged and all relevant mental health and criminal information is accessible.

You’ve been watching too much CSI. No doubt they have the shooter’s computer and phone. There’s little need for other forensic evidence at this point.

The image should be displayed as vehicle wraps and large signs that you hold on street corners. If the "crazies" can do it to advocate against abortion, so can concerned citizens.

Americans should eat, sleep, breathe their choices and lack of action.

Once again, these parents do not owe us this sh*t. F that.

Why, are you afraid to face reality? Consequence of our inaction.

I'm not the PP, but there are some truly sick right wing nuts who tormented the Sandy Hook parents. So their kindergarteners get gunned down and then some crazy people harass them and stalk them until they have to move house, insisting that their dead kids were crisis actors.

Mr. Pozner at first tried to engage Mr. Halbig, asking to speak with him in a 2014 email. He received a response, viewed by The Times, from Kelley Watt, one of Mr. Halbig’s fellow hoaxers. “Wolfgang does not wish to speak with you unless you exhume Noah’s body and prove to the world you lost your son.”

Mr. Halbig helped spread a 100-page background check containing Mr. Pozner’s addresses, relatives’ addresses, and Social Security number among the hoaxer community. Mr. Pozner and Noah’s mother, Veronique de la Rosa, live in hiding as a result of harassment.

Tons can be done, starting with outlawing assault rifles and high capacity clips, and also raising the minimum purchase age across the board.

Stop thinking you know what’s best for a grieving family.

Local schools should have been on lock-down and the SROs should have been ready when he arrived and crashed the truck. Those poor kids died alone hoping someone would come to their rescue.

But even apart from that, the police were right on him, correct? And waited an hour and a half? If that is now established fact, there needs to be some kind of federal investigation, public Congressional hearings, and I’d support - with family consent - blurred face photos of the deceased to show AR damage to the victims. This is insane. I’m not aware of this kind of pussy-footing in the response to active shooter scenes. The Uvalde victims were sacrificed in part BY the law enforcement officers on the scene because of their cowardice. Call it what it is!

You don’t need blurred face photos of the victims. Their faces have been mangled beyond recognition by high velocity automatic gunfire. That’s why they have needed DNA to match each pile of blood and mangled flesh to a set a of parents - they are UNRECOGNIZABLE.

Law enforcement support for an assault weapons ban - at least at the leadership level - has been very strong for decades. They lobbied to have the ban renewed when it was set to expire in 2003. Law enforcement officers know better than anyone the devastating effects of these weapons and that they are no match for them carrying their standard issue 9mm handguns.

People are outraged about the delay in LEOs entering the school. Those kids and teachers were dead within minutes of his entering that classroom. There are articles on the internet by trauma surgeons describing the damage to the human body caused by high velocity bullets from assault weapons. These wounds are nearly always unsurvivable, even with immediate medical attention.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GET INTO THE FIGHT FOR GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION. I live in a state where these weapons are still banned, as well as high capacity magazines. The relief is real. Go out there and get involved and make it happen for your kids, too.

Do you really feel relieved, PP? I live in Maryland where assault weapons are banned but I feel no relief whatsoever. Because anyone could drive over from the American Legion Bridge and shoot up my kids' school.
Its too easy.

He's awful. And that's good persistent questioning from the journalist.

Isn't the obvious answer yes? They elected Abbott too.
