They don't even have the courage required for that.

Haunting:

My. God. They fucking knew that kids were dying while they waited outside.

Children could have been saved:

And now this. Cowards basically just assumed all the kids and teachers were already dead:

So this coaward just fucking assumed there weren't kids in the room at 11:20 am on a fucking school day?

No shit, Steve:

These motherfuckers:

Probably about a week, maybe two.

Of course. That's why it's important to intimidate, restrain, and, if necessary, taze them so you can setup a perimeter and wait for more coward ass cops to show up and do fuck all to save the children.

The fucking door had a window, and it had already been shot out. Fuck these fucking coward cops. They should have to dig the fucking graves.

In.

In case the cowardice of the Uvalde PD hasn't made it clear that more cops isn't the answer:

UVALDE, Texas—The gunman behind the mass shooting at an elementary school here lingered outside the building for 12 minutes firing shots before walking into the school and barricading in a classroom where he killed 19 children and two teachers, authorities said in a news conference Thursday laying out a new timeline of events. Victor Escalon, a regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety, said he couldn’t say why no one stopped the now deceased gunman, 18 year-old Salvador Ramos, from entering the school during that time Tuesday. Most of the shots Ramos fired came during the first several minutes when he entered the school, Mr. Escalon said. DPS officials previously said an armed school officer confronted Ramos as he arrived at the school. Mr. Escalon said Thursday that information was incorrect and no one encountered Ramos as he arrived at the school. “There was not an officer readily available and armed,” Mr. Escalon said. Ramos shot his grandmother Tuesday morning and then used her truck to drive to Robb Elementary School, crashing the truck into a nearby ditch at 11:28 a.m., according to the timeline laid out by Mr. Escalon. The gunman then began shooting at people at a funeral home across the street, prompting a 911 call reporting a gunman at the school at 11:30. Ramos then climbed a fence onto school grounds and began firing before walking inside, unimpeded, at 11:40. The first police arrived on the scene at 11:44 and exchanged gunfire with Ramos, who barricaded himself in a fourth-grade classroom. There, he killed the students and teachers. A Border Patrol tactical team went into the school an hour later, around 12:40, was able to get into the classroom and kill Ramos, Mr. Escalon said. Thursday’s updates came as Uvalde residents were asking questions and expressing anger over the time it took for law enforcement to end the school shooting. Videos circulated on social media showing parents confronting police outside the building while Ramos was barricaded in the classroom. “The police were doing nothing,” said Angeli Rose Gomez, who after learning about the shooting drove 40 miles to Robb Elementary School, where her children are in second and third grade. “They were just standing outside the fence. They weren’t going in there or running anywhere.” State officials have said that local police were at the school within a few minutes of the gunman entering the building and exchanged gunfire with him, but they were unable to gain access to a classroom where he barricaded himself, firing on officers. Ms. Gomez, a farm supervisor, said that she was one of numerous parents who began encouraging—first politely, and then with more urgency—police and other law enforcement to enter the school. After a few minutes, she said, federal marshals approached her and put her in handcuffs, telling her she was being arrested for intervening in an active investigation.

Around her, the scene was frantic. She said she saw a father tackled and thrown to the ground by police and a third pepper-sprayed. Once freed from her cuffs, Ms. Gomez made her distance from the crowd, jumped the school fence, and ran inside to grab her two children. She sprinted out of the school with them. Videos circulated on social media Wednesday and Thursday of frantic family members trying to get access to Robb Elementary as the attack was unfolding, some of them yelling at police who blocked them from entering. “Shoot him or something!” a woman’s voice can be heard yelling on a video, before a man is heard saying about the officers, “They’re all just [expletive] parked outside, dude. They need to go in there.” Advertisement - Scroll to Continue Parents can be heard yelling to each other that their kids were inside the school and that they needed to get in.

HONG/ASSOCIATED PRESS The videos were collected by Storyful, a social-media research company owned by News Corp, parent company of The Wall Street Journal. The Uvalde Police Department couldn’t be reached for comment. A representative for the U.S. Marshals didn’t respond to a request for comment. Asked at the press conference why law enforcement weren’t able to respond in the initial 12 minutes Ramos was outside the school, Mr. Escalon said that was part of the investigation. “Our job is to report the facts and have answers. We’re not there yet,” he said. Texas state trooper Juan Maldonado said he went to the school with a friend whose wife was one of the teachers slain in the shooting. He said police were already on the scene, indicating a fast response time, and that it appeared they had set up a perimeter around the building.

It was the deadliest school shooting in a decade. Photo: Jae C. Hong/Associated Press Mr. Maldonado said he and the friend were able to enter the building to get students out and showed cuts on his forearms that he said were from breaking windows to assist in that effort. “I don’t want to critique anything; we’re here to be supportive of the community,” he said. After the confrontation ended with Ramos dead, school buses began to arrive to transport students from the school, according to Ms. Gomez. She said she saw police use a Taser on a local father who approached the bus to collect his child. “They didn’t do that to the shooter, but they did that to us. That’s how it felt,” Ms. Gomez said. Danny Ruiz, whose great-niece died in the attack, said he arrived at the school after hearing gunfire and felt grateful for the police response. “The Border Patrol agent who took him out, to me, that guy is a hero,” said Mr. Ruiz, 51. Thursday’s rising anger came after more than 1,000 people from this grieving city gathered Wednesday night for a prayer vigil. “God is here with us tonight,” Pastor Tony Gruben, of Baptist Temple Church, told the people gathered at the Uvalde County Fairplex. “God still loves you and God still loves those little children.” Community members packed the stands, spilled into the aisles and stood on the dirt rodeo floor where the ministers preached from a stage under flags of Texas and the U.S. White cowboy hats dotted the audience along with scores of maroon T-shirts that said “Uvalde Coyotes,” the high school mascot. A phalanx of police officers stood stone-faced watching the crowd, and scores of journalists from around the world aimed their cameras and beamed the scene around the globe. President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will travel to Uvalde on Sunday to grieve with the community, the White House said. The massacre represented the deadliest school shooting since the slayings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., nearly 10 years ago. Alicia A.

Well, you see, the shooter is actually motivated to get in the room.

This is America:

6. Require anyone who wants a gun to get liability insurance before they can purchase the gun and require the policy to payout to any victim of your improper use of the firearm and make it a felony to be n possession of an uninsured firearm. Let insurance companies decide whether you are insurable, and if not, tough shit, you don't get a gun. So maybe you pass a background check and avoid any red flags, but let a company with a financial interest in you not using that firearm improperly have a say in whether you owning a firearm is a safe bet. 7. strict criminal liability for any crime committed using your gun. And insurance.
