Why weren’t the teachers armed, and trained to protect the children?


Because the AFT and the NEA argue that most schools don’t have a single mentally stable member among the entire staff.

just imagine the holocaust the World's most powerful dementia patient could cause with F15s and Nukes: But there will still be guns because the last of what Davos considers to be the human cockroaches will crawl out of his hidey hole with a firearm in his arms screaming "Molon Labe!"

awful just awful, and the bad tone clearly came from the orange man at the top, so this is his fault, and Putin’s and the guns.

Do some research rather than scream. He had a job, he had low expenses.

I knew plenty of poor kids growing up. The only ones who were bullied were bullied for the same reason the middle and upper-class kids were. They were creeps.

I was a creep, and I was never bullied.

WHAT?!

What nonsense. (!)

Just because one isn’t “mainstream “ — maybe is a little geeky, maybe is a bit quiet or a bit shy or a bit small-stature, or maybe just puts their studies #1, or maybe is just unusually featured or finds the loose morals of many kids to be not what they want to be a part of... LOTS of things can cause a kid to get pushed around without them being “creepy”.

Back when I was in HS we were on the tail end of a period of some real blacks and whites problems too, although MOST of the blacks and whites got along fine.

I got pushed around a bit too, by a couple turds, but I think people who knew me at all (like my best friend from HS who I just ran into a couple days ago, or anyone from our last reunion!) would say “creepy” is the last word that would apply to me.

My solution, BTW, was to befriend (often by helping a little with schoolwork) the center on the basketball team, the nose guard on the football team, the captain of the wrestling team, the biggest guy on the wrestling team... (Two black, two white.) I had no further problems.

The information may be incorrect, but the author says he traveled from San Antonio to Uvalde, which is 85 miles.

Exceptions proving the rule perhaps?

Growing up in small towns, I really don’t recall any of what passes for ‘creepy’ these days.
A few were kinda hippie-ish, and there are always some that keep to themselves, but none truly weird/creepy.
Cliques, yes, but nothing truly bullying like what seems to be happening nowadays (or so we’re told).
We actually had a rifle club in my HS sans anyone getting shot,and lots of rifle racks in pickups.

How is this related to White Supremacy?

More like 'white hispanic laraza supremacy', doubtful he related himself to any actual while folks. The left just cannot wrap themselves around a person of color becoming a mass murderer of color killing mainly children of color. They cannot crawl out of the crayola box long enough to concentrate on just one color, RED, the shooters victims blood.

The basic conundrum of this scenario is how few observers connect the fruitlessness of the pathogenic mood changers that make their users/abusers terminally dependent on them, worse than opioids I would think, from the reports I’ve read on the substances.

Where from does the Daily Mail in the UK get their information? Do they have hundreds or more “reporters” in the US that provide it to them?

You would think that there would be a lot of media interest in talking to anyone that had anything to do with this kid.

I suspect that because he does not fit the profile of a rabid white supremacist, the UK Daily Mail is the only outlet that will actually print anything about the warning signs that were there beforehand.
