That and ignoring mall policy.

We’re the Only Ones Thronged Enough
Report Finds Nearly 400 Officers Were at Elementary as Uvalde Police Waited to Engage Lone Gunman [More]
I bet when it’s that crowded it can get pretty tough finding a place to hide behind.

We’re the Only Ones Inevident Enough
The sheriff asked for a risk protection order, which would have prohibited Broome from having a gun for at least a year … “I need to underscore that we have no evidence that he was going to shoot up the school. None,” Judd told FOX 13. “But we have no evidence that he wasn’t.” [More]
No, it wouldn’t have. And that’s a hell of a slippery slope, Grady.
Thing is, he’s right to have his spider-sense tingling on this. But if he can deny due process to this suspect that sets a pretty low bar for all others.

We’re the Only Ones Non-Punishing Enough
Controversial Punisher logo visible on phone of officer who responded to Uvalde shooting [More]
I knew there was a real scandal in here someplace.
And I can think of a more appropriate home screen.

We’re the Only Ones Fleeing Enough
Cops responding to the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting ran away from gunshots while 19 children and two teachers were left to die in their classrooms… [More]
I guess turning your back on the armed crazy and skedaddling to save your own precious hindquarters are time-honored tactics:
On the bright side, these are the guys they’ll send to confiscate the “20 million AR-15 style rifles.”

Ask the Experts!
While most experts say comprehensive gun control is still the best solution to mass shootings… [More]
Well, that right there tells me I can’t trust a thing that follows. That and blocking access to what AoL considers “extreme,” blaming “racism” i.e. traditional American culture, and adding in a dash of “equity” collectivism…
Besides, when they emphasize “young men and boys,” how are we supposed to define either?
I don’t suppose beating unforgiving woke culture into young skulls from an early age perverts minds and instills an obsession for exacting revenge against institutions perceived as sources of torment…?
And how are you going to “combat” $h!+ when you don’t even mention the only deterrent proven to stop manufactured monsters in their tracks except to say we need to prohibit that?

Leaked ‘Uber files’ show how company capitalized on violence against drivers [More]
So that explains their driver/passenger disarmament policy.
And no, it makes no sense trying to give yourself a Lyft instead.
Mike DeWine on ‘School Safety’
Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to each school. [More]
So why couldn’t you say the same about cities, and do away with preemption?
Besides, this is misdirection: The true issue is that of a free citizen’s unalienable right to arm himself. Since when are local bureaucrats legitimately qualified and authorized to dictate that?
And why did this come in via email, necessitating posting on my placeholder site, instead of being published in “News Releases“?

Copenhagen shooting: Gunman charged in court with murder [More]
So they know who he is?
Then how come they only refer to him throughout as “the suspect” at the same time they’re telling us this was not terror-related?
And no provisions for defensive carry that I can see…
A Sensitive Subject
Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion noted “sensitive places“ like schools and government buildings could have gun bans. [More]

I didn’t figure they had much stomach for conflict the way they make it so hard to find out who they are. You’d think you wouldn’t have to scroll down for the slideshow.

Where Texas teachers carry guns, a community feels more secure [More]
They don’t just FEEL secure.

Beto Testing
“You don’t get to pretend that you care about public safety if you’re a governor who allows six major mass shootings to happen on your watch while actively going out of your way to make it easier for criminals to carry guns.” [More]
What a lying @$$hole.
These idiots, too.

We’re the Only Ones Just Following Orders Enough
“If there’s kids in there, we need to go in”: Officers in Uvalde were ready with guns, shields and tools — but not clear orders [More]
Breach the door? Stop the threat? Save the children?
What would the right magic incantation have been?
I see the transcripts have been reviewed. Is anybody doing the same with bodycams?

A Few Questions Not Asked
The executive order addresses the training of law enforcement… [More]
As long as we’re waxing on about valuing the Constitution, providing for the security of a free State, and the Second Amendment and all, how about the militia? Who will have access to school “annual risk and vulnerability assessments”? What due process protections will keep BTAM from morphing into the Department of PreCrime? And I trust there will be appropriate penalties to keep Rave from being used by triggered leftist indoctrinators to report “microaggressions”?
And forgive me if every time I see government promising to deliver something “at no cost” I check to make sure my wallet’s still there. The school or district may not be charged, but the people paying for them certainly will be.
That none of these were raised in this fawning “report” says much.
More Fuel for the Fire!
Self-described ‘antiracism educator’ Tim Wise recently wrote an opinion piece for Politico about the May shooting in Buffalo, New York. In the article, he blames the incident on the purported lack of anti-racism education, a situation for which he blames conservatives. [More]
So they need more?
As opposed to years of bullying brainwashing causing the weaker links to snap and lash out in revenge at the people and places they see as sources of torment?
“Wise,” huh? What’s the opposite of an aptronym?

Speaking of Better Options
“Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to your school. It is optional,” DeWine wrote. [More]
So in spite of all the hoop-de-doo, the great majority will remain “gun-free zones.” So much for “preemption” when you codify a “patchwork quilt.”
This guy never fails to prove himself a weasel trying to play all sides, does he?
Tangentially related, Pursuit of Patriotism wonders about school district liability in mass shootings. I’ve long maintained the failure is not so much one of unthinking negligence as it is outright hostility and deliberate indifference.

Of course, student safety should be a top priority. But have you thought of the repercussions of the school security they are requesting? [More]
