Bizarre and stupid snark.

Reports have stated that the door was propped. Very unfortunate. Are you claiming that this wasn’t a factor? To be clear: guns are the overarching and most important problem by far. I’d like to see the second amendment repealed. The other problem was obviously law enforcement. Good guys with guns who didn’t act correctly per the reports.

You call my post bizarre and stupid, then go on to reiterate what I just said plus add your propped door agenda to it.

There are deliberate factors and there are everyday mistakes.

You are conflating a door being propped into the same category of the deliberate actions of purchasing an assault rifle to murder children.
You are also conflating a propped door with the negligent actions of trained officers with guns that refused to help stop the massacre of children.

There is no propped door agenda. It’s a fact show in video and still footage. It doesn’t matter if it was deliberate or not - it served as the point of entry. Once inside, he was able to barricade himself between two classroom and still keep an eye on both doors and peep windows. Like or or not, that’s what happened.

Maybe since doors are the problem, we should ban them instead of guns.

Give it a rest.

The problem is none of you want to admit that a wide open security door was a huge contributor. It was. Facts are facts.

yes, it still would have happened. He would have shot the door open.

Facts are facts: gunman would have found an area to shoot up a whole bunch of people whether that door was open or not. Maybe at a mall? Or a restaurant?

Do you gun nuts know how stupid you sound saying the fault was an open door?

Do you anti gun nuts know how stupid you sound blaming the police when more than likely all of the killing was done within 15 minutes of entry. One report stated the killer was holed up in a cabinet waiting for the breached classroom door and stepped out and fired on the BP agent who eventually made him DRT.

The only one who is to blame for this is ultimately the killer.

That’s a lie. There were 911 calls from kids.

No I didn’t lie. Go and listen to the calls? Do you hear any shooting? Nice try.

There were kids alive and calling 911 long after he entered those classrooms. One child who was there said that a police officer yelled for kids to yell if they needed help. A little girl called for help in response and the gunman shot her.

At least 17 more wounded in the attack. It is unclear if they were all shot vs injured some other way. But at least some were shot.

And the ten year old who rubbed her friend’s blood all over her and pretended to be dead while the police stood outside and did nothing. No amount of thoughts and prayers and counseling will every make her okay again.

21 deaths tells you very little about the damage done.

Y'all have been telling us the "good guys with guns" were all we needed to keep everyone safe. You lied.

The BP agent was the only one willing to give up his life to save those kids. I feel bad for the police officers, as I can imagine they didn't want to die either.

That's why we need to stop listening to the gun nuts. No one wants to take these crazies with AR-15s on. They also have to be on a possible suicide mission. But gun nuts don't seem to care how many kids, teachers, grocery store workers or cops need to die to serve their hobby.

This is a must read: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/27/uvalde-school-student-survival/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3FKVKd3lzhFcIlBag6GnjU9J2EzmNS76g1Psa3X0WFy7GLRvJ0MqxqMTk

If you can read this article and still think that it’s not worth it to limit access to guns. So that children don’t have to be treated this way. So that children aren’t sacrificed.

I’m sorry, you’re a monster who should rot in he**.

Every elected republican official in the state has gone right up to the line in threatening Biden and out and out said he is not the legitimate president. Biden stole the election. The police force who will be providing the perimeter security is incompetent and openly hostile to Biden. It is very worrying.

Presumably he knows what security he can and can't trust. Mike pence knew not to get in that car on Jan 6th.

Of the rhetoric pushed out by Fox News and the elected republicans is very scary. This is the type of environment where you do not know what will happen.

A coup from the secrets service? The suspects that would attempt such a thing would be known. Pence knew so why wouldn't others?

I mean, I think I know what you're saying, but I'm confused. Are y'all suggesting Pence was worried for his safety with certain SS agents? That sounds far out, but I don't know the facts here ... ?

He never mentioned his own safety that I read. He refused to get in a car and be driven away from the capital because he understood that would help enable the coup plot.

Do you honestly think Pence was that heroic? Y'all spend four years demonizing him.

No one said anything about heroics. Just that he was very aware of the situation and would not cooperate. Not cooperating with a coup is expected behavior got most.

+1. If you need a slow clap because Pence didn’t participate in a coupe, here you go. Clap………. Clap………. Clap

I always thought it was one of three things in the job description: break the Senate toe vote, become POTUS if needed and don’t coupe. But apparently yes, we are going so low that not couping now needs works of praise.

"The steel doors designed to keep killers out were used by the shooter to keep police out. w/o a key to open them, police would've had to use infantry techniques (explosives) to breech the outer walls. The kids and teachers were not the enemy. Blowing holes in walls, police indiscriminately spraying the room with bullets, or engaging a full body armored shooter using kids as human shields were NOT good options. (Imagine THAT forensic pathology report it would have generated, proof police killed X number of the innocent during entry). police entered Robb Elementary hallway (inverted T-shaped) 2-3 minutes after the shooter. The shooter had locked the doors and was slaughtering. From doorway, shooter sprayed police (who lacked cover) with bullets, wounding 2. Shooter wore full body armor. Police best option was to fall back to 2 corners feet away from CRs 111 and 112 doors and get backup. They needed keys or tools to open those doors. The police could not yet know who was alive, wounded, or dead in those CRs. Police needed level 4 shields to survive long enough upon entry to take down shooter for they did not know where within the 2 adjoining classrooms he would be when they entered. 9-1-1 calls were coming in. However, the police still lacked entry tools. Small kids playing dead, disoriented, crying for help provided little useful information (NOT at all the kids' fault). Sporadic fire from inside 2 adjoining CRs only momentarily provided police a fix on shooter, and he'd shot at police trying to peek through small windows on doors. Again, police could not place effective fire on moving shooter. He was barricaded in, could move within and between 2 CRs, and there were still living innocents inside. Were the police supposed to crashed through the outer windows, spray those 2 classrooms with bullets, and return fire once the shooter showed himself? That might be the right way during war but saving lives (not accepting "collateral damage") is what police are trained to do. So, the police waited for an entry team (drove 70 miles in 40 minutes), located a master key, listened, watched, and planned the entry of two doors. Meanwhile, "spotters"peering through the outer windows tried to get a fix on the shooter's location inside and relay to the entry team(s). If he was below the outer window, they would not have seen him. THIS IS IMPORTANT: Police told a Congressman afterwards the shooter emerged from a closet and and fired at them once entry was made. Upon entry, at least 1 police officer was wounded from the shooter's bullets passing above, below, outside those shields. The police had to expose body parts to get a shot. That is NOT cowardice on the part of the police; they wanted to live long enough to eliminate the shooter.

The ONLY people responsible for the deaths & wounded innocent kids & teachers ARE the shooter and anyone who helped him commit mass murder.

God bless the children, teachers, & police

P.S. If shooter positioned inside in the doorway between the 2 classrooms, he would have shielded himself from police viewing & snipers outside the school wing. He could observe police attempting to peak through small windows on doors. Adjoining door likely looked like a closet.Inner doorway between classrooms 111 & 112 was not a flat structure. It was a closet with doors on both sides through which teachers and students and the shooter could pass. Inside it, shooter could observe outer doors, both classrooms, and be shielded from outside window view. Uvalde gunman emerged from classroom closet firing as Border Patrol agents entered, officials say

I thought it was confirmed he was not wearing body armor? I find it hard to believe anything coming out of TX at this point. Will wait for DOJ.

So you are also saying that a school feature built to keep the kids safe from guns did not work as intended........again, the source of all these problems are guns.

Again, the door was left open

I'm an aerospace engineer. In grad school, I took a human factors engineering class. You need to design systems around how people are likely to use, and potentially misuse, them. People prop open secure doors. It happens everywhere and has happened forever. If a door is your only defense against a massacre, then you've failed as a solution developer.

I fully agree with you. And schools and democrat politicians repeatedly refuse enhanced security because the former don’t think fortifying is ‘good for the kids’ and the latter use only see gun control as a solution. It’s clear trained teachers who had access to securely stored weapons on the inside was really the only solution that would have helped. As an engineer, you should understand how those safes work and why they are secure.

What’s clear is that you are asking teachers to arm themselves and go after a bad guy with a gun. And now the police department SWAT team. I 100% believe teachers are braver than the police. But if it’s so scary police won’t enter the classroom, why in the world are we asking teachers to step up? At a minimum, why not fire SWAT and double teacher pay?

The reason the doors are significant is because it adds another layer of security. These are reinforced steel doors that open outward and are designed to resist being breached. Home doors that you see taken down with a battering ram fail at the lock when hit. Doors that swing outward are harder to breach because the entire frame supports the door from going inward.

The school also has a policy to lock doors during instruction and again, this policy was not followed. Why did the suspect skip four classrooms near the entrance and go to the two classrooms that he did? Likely because the four classrooms near the entrance were locked and the classrooms he went to were unlocked. The path of least resistance to his targets.

The layers of security (fence, exterior doors, and classroom doors) are not designed to stop an active shooter. They are designed to minimize the risks to the staff and students by delaying the active shooter from reaching them in the classroom. Had the exterior door been closed, most likely the shooter would have remained outside and encounter the responding law enforcement outside the building. This most likely would have limited the number of casualties inside the building.

Let's remove all the politics, gun laws, weapons, and active shooter from this scenario. If an unauthorized person outside the building entered a classroom in the same manner as this suspect and kidnapped a student instead, would your view of the locked doors now be different?

Nope. Women on the SWAT Team // police force (there was at least one in the SWAT) are also scum.

DP. My view would be that humans keep being humans. Doors will occasionally be left open. Sometimes it’s hot. Sometimes it’s broken. Sometimes humans are forgetful. Sometimes they hold the door for people who shouldn’t enter.

But the AR-15 was in the murderer’s hand and he slaughtered children. You want to wave that away and focus on doors. Check in with yourself.

I don’t want to take away from the first and foremost question, which is why we don’t have sensible gun control. But I do have some other questions:

1) in the 12 minutes before he entered, why was a lockdown not announced? Did no one in the building hear the gunfire outside? Were they unable to contact the front office to request a lockdown? Did 911 not notify the school? It seems like there is some gap in procedure here.

2) could the police have shot out the lock on the door?

3) were police notified of the incoming 911 calls indicating that there were children still alive and some wounded in the classrooms in need of medical assistance? If not, why not?

4) did the front office not have keys to the room? Was the janitor not at work? This part just all seems crazy.

The propped open door wouldn't have been so much of a problem, if we were responsible about guns.

The incompetent police response wouldn't have been so much of a problem, if we were responsible about guns.

Note the one common element to every single one of these things? It's irresponsible gun policy.

Stop talking about incompetent police or propped doors. Those are separate, secondary issues.

Don’t be thick. In assessing the totality of the circumstances regarding this incident, they are relevant factors. What does responsible about guns mean? Define it. For me, that would include, inter alia, an outright ban on the type of weapon the murderer used.
