Post Millenial ^ | 5/26/22

After it was revealed on Thursday that not only did police delay their response to sending tactical teams into the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex. amid a school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead but prevented parents from entering, the Wall Street Journal reported that one mother sprinted into the school to get her children, over objections from law enforcement.

Angeli Rose Gomez drove 40 miles to the school upon hearing of the shooting, and she arrived, said "The police were doing nothing. They were just standing outside the fence. They weren't going in there or running anywhere."

So you’re in favor of having hysterical parents rush the place?

Think about that without emotion.

sorry bout my half-a$$ed post.
I missed where he stole his grandma’s truck and I didn’t realize Wendy’s pays enough to buy those weapons...he could have save over a period of time.

So...I’ll shut up and sit the rest of this one out.

Federal marshals, eh? It’s almost like things were all going according to plan and they didn’t want outside actors (ie, parents) to screw anything up.

“has 5k worth of weapons “

More likely $1,500.

unless his family is wealthy, there’s a disconnect here...

Also, he's transsexual, except that he was misidentified as a different transsexual, who objected to be identified as the killer, so he's not really transsexual, but the photos of him cross-dressing and wearing makeup are, like, real.

Got it!

Shotguns would not have been a good choice with kids and all.

The kids were being brutally murdered. I know all about LE protocol and rest of their bull sh*t, but in events like this, if they planned on saving kids, time, every minute is critical Every minute they waited potentially means more dead.

Sometime there might be collateral damage, but standing around for 45 minutes to an hour waiting for a truck full of swat guys guys to show up, makes me recoil in disgust.

Btw, if I recall, it's generally believed a shotgun is the best home defense weapon.

One more thing, the cops had no idea if after shooting the kids he was going to then systematically kill those still alive. Time is critical.

“Las Vegas!!!”

Yep, that too.

“New footage of the Las Vegas shooting at Mandalay Bay shows police officers waited in the hallway for five minutes while Stephen Paddock fired shots into the crowd.”

The timeline may give reason for concern but there’s nothing wrong with police restraining a woman from running into an active shooter situation.

[No license required. The good stuff isn’t cheap, but you just have to have a credit card. A level IIIA vest (handguns and shotgun protection) is anywhere from ~$700 and up. Rifle plates from $150 to $350 each for front and back depending on technology.

I use Safe Life Defense products.

Many thanks for the tip. I’ve seen steel plate inserts. But I’ve also heard that the milspec hard shell combat armor used in Iraq was ceramic. Are these ceramic or steel?

Peace. I agree with the urgency.

But as to best home defense or choice of weapon for this circumstance, a rifle over the shotgun, for both accuracy of shot placement and muzzle velocity (damage mechanism).

One more thing, many departments and agencies do not have an AR in every vehicle. Sometimes the shotgun is the go to.

The “well-equipped” LEOs sure didn’t know what to do.

Questionable statement, but what did you observe when you were there?

Of course but common sense says the LEOs without tactical gear wrangle the parents and the ones with tactical gear go inside the school to take out the shooter or at least keep him pinned down so he can’t roam and kill more. That one mother who made it inside and got her kids out, traveled 40 miles after hearing about it on the news. LEOs should have already been inside before that.

Kudos to this mother for going in and getting her children out.

One reads the stories of the tough cops in urban areas in the 1970s who'd have a revolver, a backup piece, and maybe a confiscated switchblade, going into tenements and dark alleyways after dangerous, hard-nosed criminals and then see the current day tacti-clowns who won't move on a psychopath shooting children.

The cops didn't move in on Columbine and at the Broward County school shooting, it was the county officers who went in, many of them female, despite having the Broward Cowards try to stop them.
