I can remember when an nutjob took many rifles up a Texas bell tower and began shooting random people below. Regular Texans went to their trucks and got their deer rifles out and pinned down the assassin while others joined the cops in rushing up the tower stairs and killing the murderer.
Guess that Texas is long gone.
Once a Marine always a Marine Charles Whitman.
A lesson in the instant case. Next time the parents need to show up with longarms and take care of business. Police are not essential.
There were apparently enough cops there to keep other people from intervening but apparently not enough to do anything about the shooter.
There was a report that a US Marshal handcuffed a mother who was demanding they do something and police tazed a father that tried to take his son off of a bus to get him home.
Seems line “long gone” is about right. This bunch looks like the grand kids of the buttdraggers than Sam Houston beat awhile back? Take away their rifles, give them a weeks rations, and send them back.

I guess a lot of people don’t want to become the next George Zimmerman, or the next McCloskeys, or the next Kyle Rittenhouse... prosecute enough citizens for being heroic and pretty soon you won’t be able to find any heroes when you need them.
That was my issue and question. Was there not even one teacher who was carrying? You’d think in Uvalde,TX there might still be some old school non woke Texan teachers. Especially in a small town, not a big city or slightly blue suburb. As a 7th generation Texas citizen I can say that and it makes me sad. Just one teacher who was carrying and trainedmight have made the difference and saved lives.
