How did he buy weapons, magazines, ammunition and tactical gear if his own family couldn't afford to buy him more clothes?
What effect did familial 'COVID fear' have upon the psyche of this clearly deviant teen?
What effect did over a year of virus lockdown have upon his mental well being?
Is this tragedy a symptom of a much larger problem among the other victims of the government lockdowns, children?
What effect did the school virus protocols have upon facilitating his mental decline?
On analysis of his family's reaction to this tragedy, from one perspective it's easy to draw the conclusion that the apple didn't fall far from the tree. As an extension of ridiculous logical analysis of this tragedy, perhaps the anti-abortion nature of Texas is to blame for facilitating his birth in the first place?
In other news, they have claimed that this teen was NOT the same subject who threatened school violence 4 years prior, yet we know that he threatened violence against a school and the fact remains that 'fact-checking' protocols of 'big brother' are far more effective at quashing narrative dissent than mitigating violent acts.
Another conclusion to be drawn is that the latter seems to be with intent.
We now know that a teacher propped open a normally-locked door used by the subject to gain entry...
If the penalty for a mentally-ill criminal using a firearm to commit murder is to punish the law abiding, what penalty will be levied for those who:
Fail to make a criminal database entry? Fail to file a report which would flag a potentially violent, mentally ill individual? Fail to LOCK A DAMNED DOOR?
I maintain that this pandemic has been misrepresented. The real effect of the pandemic is STUPID, but there's one overarching problem:
There are not enough prison beds to house all those on the left for whom new laws against 'stupid' would affect.
Thus preventing another Uvalde tragedy becomes wholly academic...and explains why they're coming after our guns. /s

“had his reasons”
smh
I wish we could throw parents in jail for the crimes their children do. Because it’s nearly always a failure of parenting.
“He was a Good Boy, a VERY good boy...”
Kid was a tranny. IOW, mentally ill. Father abandoned him due to his irrational fear of covid. Someone propped open a normally locked door? What a coincidence. This shooting was enabled obviously at someone’s request. Whose?
These interviews of a parent of a killer such as this are always problematic and show the parent in the worst light. In the aftermath of a son or daughter doing such a thing, what parent doesn’t, in part, revert to the protective feather or mother that cherishes a child? I know that I can never be driven apart from my sons and like this idiot father I might say something equally stupid.
Four years from now, his reflections would have balance — today none anticipated.
Yes, indeed.
What a stupid comment. Scratch a pro-abortionist and find a eugenicist animal.
LEO at press conference yesterday said he made the purchase with a DEBIT card. He had been working at Wendy’s for months and presumably not paying rent since he lived with grandfather.
And I suppose he was going to start community college in the fall.

Hey Stupid...your son is a vile, evil monster.
Well SOMEBODY is a monster.
So we now know that what happened is the culmination of a series of failures:
Dad, mom, grandparents, schoolmates of killer, teachers of killer, cops who responded to the initial shooting of grandma, citizen bystanders, teachers at school where murders happened, more cops, and law enforcement administrators. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL.
Followed by grandstanding politicians and clueless media personalities. MORE FAIL.
There are probably potential scenarios like this one every day. But this one happened because almost everyone who could have done something different failed.
Did anyone learn anything? Doesn’t look like it. Certainly not the parents.
There is absolutely no excuse why children should be sitting ducks for any insane and disgruntled person who decides to take out his frustrations with life by murdering them.
BILLIONS are spent every year on public education, which is COMPULSORY. It would only take a small amount of the budget to insure that kids are safe from random mass-murdering gunmen.
I’ve worked several years in technology for my local school district where we shared a building with the ISD police department. I’ve been responsible for sending out text messages to parents when we’ve had lockdowns. My coworkers supported card-key door access and security cameras.
Schools need to all have police or security directly connected with access and control of access to campuses. A central dispatch with security monitors and remote door locks could make a big difference. But, considering what has been happening, I’d recommend requiring every person on campus to wear or carry a passive RFID tag that allows police/security to monitor the location of everyone on campus and identify anyone who is where he does not belong. It should be possible to send this tracking information to officers using bird’s eye view shot-plot type of diagrams that they are trained to locate without delay. (The idea is to immediately identify anyone without an RFID or the proper clearance for their location.)
Doors could be unlocked for students, faculty, and visitors (issued temporary tags) based on the permissions connected to their IDs. Police/security could remotely unlock doors for individuals on a case-by-case basis and also lock down campuses to prevent access to anyone who does not belong.
Faculty and students need to be trained on a clear plan on how to recognize dangers, what to do about them, and how to respond in various lockdown scenarios. They need to practice them regularly. I’ve trained students on safety measures when evacuating school buses. I’ve trained on procedures with the local SWAT team equivalent on how to respond if a criminal attempts to take control of a bus with children. (There are processes designed to foil such attempts. For example, drivers are taught to toss their keys out the window so that a bus is immobilized. In a hostage situation SWAT will act swiftly once any shots are fired or students are injured, because the assumption is that delay will be more harmful than the risks of action.)
Safety and security can no longer be an afterthought for public schools. With proper planning students can be safe from these kinds of attacks so that they never happen again.
He killed children ready to face a fun world of enlightenment.
You created this monster.
He hated you and destroyed them for it.
I wouldn’t call him a monster. Demon possessed maybe, but not monster, which would be too good for him.
I don’t care what the sperm donor wants.
I’ll bet the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Having raised two Sociopaths, with one them also being a complete narcissistic psychopath, all I can say is I did everything I could to get them treatment, but to also insulate myself and my wife against any backlash for when they ultimately lose it like this piece of shit.
When the news reports some crime, I always assume its one of the two who was involved.
When that day comes, they will not get my sympathy or help. I will gladly take the stand against them. No matter how messed up they are, they know right from wrong, but always chose to do the wrong thing. When questioned why by their psychologist or Psychiatrist, they would just shrug and say I don’t know.
Cant they just shoot the kids dad and move on….
19 children dead and 2 adults.
Not a monster?
Okie dokie.
