Response to the Uvalde shooting: don't stand by, be armed.

Posted on 05/29/2022 6:28:33 PM PDT by David Treibs

Comments on the Uvalde shooting:

Obadiah 1:11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, ... even thou wast as one of them.

Our response should be:

Nehemiah 4:13 ... I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

14 And I ... said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

17 ... every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.

And don’t depend on law enforcement to help you.

Old Skool Americans always worked to be as self-sufficient as possible.

Back when Charles Whitman shot up the University of Texas from the UT Tower, ordinary student citizens with hunting rifles responded and gave assistance to the police. The minister who married me and my wife was on the plaza when the shooting started and saw the pregnant woman shot.

Uvalde is the County Seat of Uvalde County.

How are the Uvalde City Police and the County Sheriff organized?

Remember the “Coward of Broward”, jin the Parkland shooting?
Remember that other officers that stood by letting Chauvin take it too far! A simple, “that’s enough” would have saved us all a lot of grief.
These instances should teach that you cannot depend on LEOs for your own safety and that of your loved ones.
Prepare accordingly or bear the consequences of your actions.

This past Thursday, the elementary school two of my granddaughters go to was to have early release from school due being last day.

About 1145, daughter (they all live with me) got a text that the school was on lockdown.

She booked out the door and I grabbed a 45 ACP and a carrier with six mags and threw them in my trunk.

The park next to the school was calm with kids activities.

Drove two sides of the school and parents were calmly picking up their kids…three cop cars out front.

Turned to a side street and went to the back church parking lot next to the school that was 50 yards from the school building to observe the backside of the school.

Watched for 20 minutes as a school resource officer was letting staff out to that parking lot.

Saw no alarm or urgency from anyone leaving the school so I went back to the house.

Daughter later came back with the kids and said further text explained that at 1045 a man in the school office had a pistol in his pants and shot himself in the foot and caused the lockdown.

If there is a active shooter in the school, I will not stand aside or stand down.

Bet he’s heard a few jokes since then.

Remember to bring smoke grenades next time so you can get past the local police trying to pepper spray and handcuff you on the way in.

Yes, this is a no brainer yet so many people do not take responsibility for themselves or their family.

See my tagline.

The school district has its own so-called police force.

And per Bloomburg, the Uvalde city PD’s funding eats up 40% of the city’s budget.

Something was already seriously wrong in Uvalde, Texas.

If the parents had shown up armed, they would have been able to get the job done despite the government wanting to stifle them.

Don’t leave home without it. Globalist are flooding our country with the world’s poorest of the poor. Not that the poor are criminals, but when they land in the inner cities of America, it is survival of the fittest. This culture breeds criminal activity.

Cartels operate on both sides of the border up into the interior of America. Drugs, sex and human trafficking is big $$business$$. These cartel/gang members have no value on human life. They will off you in a second and not think a thing about it.

Inner city hood rat culture. All ya gotta do is browse the news from ANY American city. What you’ll find is a culture of criminality/lawlessness. Live in the city? Arm yourself, train with your weapon. Keep your eyes open. Carjackings, juggings, assaults, murder...crime statistics in every major city rising. Dog eat dog mentality.
