How did that Kenny Rogers song go? “Everyone considered them the Cowards of the County”.

Man, look at these jacked up, cowardly thugs "bravely" arresting a good man who was protesting the FACT that his daughter was raped by a so-called transgendered classmate who the school's school board had covered for.

During my times in Iraq and Afghanistan I learned this: Generally speaking, the more tatted, jacked up and loud mouthed a PSD or security guy was, the bigger a pussy and/or reckless idiot he was. It seemed to me that the more low key, ordinary looking guys were the toughest, most reliable, big hearted - - and deadliest. . .

It would have help if someone closed and locked the front door.

The killer kid came in through a propped open back backdoor.

True. But let’s be honest: If that little bitch hadn’t been able to slip in through that opened door, it’s likely he’d have just shot his way in by blowing out a lock or window.

Friends and I of a satiric bent have making up parodies since high school, such as Men of Harlech, while watching the movie Zulu:

Men of Harlem,
stop your stealing,
we can see your white teeth gleaming... etc.

or of Gilbert & Sullivan:

I am the very model
of a modern urban criminal,
with convictions civil,
juvenile and criminal...


LOL   You are a little weird, but I did read years ago that the "The Whiffenpoof Song" from the Yale University choir of that name was an Ivy League snobbish elitist putdown of enlisted gentlemen-rankers lauded and written of by Rudyard Kipling.
In the British Army, a gentleman ranker is an enlisted soldier suited through education and social background to be a commissioned officer, or indeed a former commissioned officer.
Kelly of "Kelly's Heroes" fame would be a gentleman ranker.

Your efforts are in good company going way back.

Gentlemen-Rankers

Nope, majority of bullies don’t want to fight, but their frail egos make them do really stupid things for power over others. They should never be allowed to have any civil authority.

Gun control is a great example of this concept in action.

1. Faster response times. A school district police officer is right there when trouble happens. A municipal police officer might be 15 minutes or more away

—————————————————————————

Two things I’ve read that might be true: There was no school resource officer (SRO) on duty that day at Robb Elementary. Secondly, Uvalde ISD police chief Arredondo did not have his radio on at the time of the shooting and was “late to the party”.

The real answer to school shootings? Train and arm teachers to carry in the classroom.

Oh dear, I said “front” instead of “back”!

You lead a boring life.

As I’ve been reading dozens of articles over the last three or four days blaming the cops on the scene in Uvalde, one thing occurs to me.

Are we being gaslighted? Are we being kneejerked into being manipulated by the PTB and by the media by blaming this tragedy on cops?

Let’s not forget the real reason why this massacre occurred. Because of coordinated Democratic policies focusing on the destruction of America, more and more sick perverts are given free reign to kill and murder. And because of this tragedy cannot be blamed on white supremacy, it was very easy to shift the blame to law-enforcement. And as we all know, Rats hate the police and would love to defund the police, so therefore this blame game perfectly fits their narrative.
