Same with Columbine, actually muuuuch worse.
It was HOURS the SWAT team was waiting outside.
Victims were audibly calling out that they were bleeding to death, etc.
The level of SWAT excuse-making at Columbine was....epic.
“Water coming down from sprinklers that had been set-off, blinking visual alarms also made for a confusing situation, the perimeter was not yet secured....a bazillion other ones, too.”
VERY many people died at Columbine while the macho SWAT team cowered and wet their collective pants.
Thanks. Just wondering if this is of the same ilk. Las Vegas is an obvious terrorist target, so much planning is sure to have occurred, especially regarding crowded concert venues. That planning may have been seriously flawed.
Another HUGE mistake at Columbine:
Dispatch told all terrified kids calling into 911, “You’ve got to STAY INSIDE”.
Well, uh....WHY..?
Inside was where the shooting was taking place, outside was more or less safe.
The people calling in to the cops had at least as much info as dispatch at that point, and that was still true 3 hours later.
The same thing happened at Sandy Hook. They “assembled” away from the school before attempting to enter.
“VERY many people died at Columbine while the macho SWAT team cowered and wet their collective pants.”
But they are pretty good at enforcing smoking bans.
Same swat as aurora theatre. Waited till the shooting stopped.
