The Uvalde public school district is no stranger to campus lockdowns. In October 2021, Mayor Don McLaughlin reported the district had been forced into lockdowns 48 times during the first few months of the school year, largely due to human smuggler pursuits near campuses.
At the time, Uvalde Mayor McLaughlin joined with a commission of local government representatives of Kinney and Uvalde Counties to demand action from the Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM) regarding the growing border crisis, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported. The county and city officials detailed the consequential impact of the border crisis on local resources.
Robb Elementary School, one of the district’s seven schools, became the scene of one of the worst mass-casualty shootings in American history on Tuesday morning when an 18-year-old man entered the school. By the time the incident ended, the shooter killed 19 students and two teachers.
The mayor told TDEM officials that Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District officials had to lock down schools “48 times this year due to high-speed pursuits and migrants fleeing from law enforcement.”

We’re swamped with illegals here in South Texas. San Antonio is a cesspool of illegals. Plenty of them in the rural areas as well.
Uvalde cops had operational control of the scene. I’m sure there are mutual aid agreements, but the city most likely has supremacy. This still doesn’t excuse them from allowing an assault if the BP had the firepower and manpower to do so.
I’m watching this. Obviously DPS colonel has tardive dyskinesia.
At least 48 training opportunities for the clucking pigs. Instead:
“I’m gonna put our SWAT team pic on my Facebook! Ha! SWAT, baby, watch out! Who’s in charge now? I am, the moron down the street.”
First 911 call came in at 12:03, forty seven minutes later cops decide to enter and kill mentally ill person. Between 12:03 and 12:50 there were multiple 911 calls begging for cops to come, parents of dead children need to sue, killer was IN THE CLASSROOM with the children picking them off, meanwhile cops are standing around outside doing nothing.
Does that mean they were numb to anything going on in the area around them and had taken to ignoring it? Maybe that’s why security was so lacking? Thanks, Joe.
Incompetence straight to the top in D.C.
They are all incentivized for higher body counts.
You get more of what you incentivize.

Closing/locking public places due to potential acts of terrorism/violence is often a hard call to make.
We know a man and his family living in a border state with the growing problems of illegals.
He was a Marine on his active duty and did a lot of Shore Patrol duty.
He often served as an usher for his church’s Saturday evening service. Usually, 2-3 dozen members and family members attended that service.
Like many semi down town churches, his church was located on a checker board of streets, which ran from safe to not so safe.
Their regular parson had retired, and they had a substitute.
As acts of crime increased around the church an a few minor theft from the church. Some members wanted some members to be armed. Many and the substitute parson said, “No!”
So on a nice Saturday late afternoon, during church, this man was outside collecting the handicapped parking signs to bring inside.
While on the west side of the Church a car pulled up from the south and was parked in the middle of the side street. A guy jumped out of the car and ran into a house.
A few seconds later 3 cop cars came from the south and parked behind the suspect’s car.
Then, 2 cop cars pulled from the north and parked in front of the suspect’s car.
A motorcycle cop pulled up and onto the sidewalk by the church.
He told our friend to go inside and keep the doors closed and locked and have the people inside to stay seated and inside.
So our good guy goes in the west front door and locks it.
Then, he crossed over behind the pews to lock the east front door.
Then, he went to the back part of the church to lock the two doors back there.
The attending church members had heard the sirens and most felt possible bad events could happen.
A few minutes later our friend heard the motorcycle cop declare, “It is over!”
He went out one of the back doors and had it locked asap.
As he walked up to where the motorcycle cop was, he heard “All Clear” on a loud speaker in a cop car.
Turns out the guy who abandoned his car was an abandoned suitor of a young woman living across the street from the church. Her Dad and Brothers convinced the idiot to go out with his hands up and surrender or else.
Everything worked out for the church members that day.
This brave man still has nightmares and has joined a church which has approved members armed for services.
sounds as if there was a local police admin inability to deal with the crisis in a timely manner. maybe they were waiting for some kind of legal input?
A single person on the inside would be all that was needed. No “order” would go to the school. No one else would know.
Crazy/evil liberals are everywhere.
