Notes from the Resistance
Unreleased transcripts from Uvalde show police waited to breach the classroom because the killer had a combat rifle that could penetrate their armor. They we too scared. We are a nation that allows anyone to buy a rifle that can massacre children while keeping the police at bay. [More]

Hey, what’s the worst that could happen — to us?

We’ll just have to go to Plan B.

Nearly 400 law enforcement officials rushed to mass shooting that left 21 people dead at a Uvalde elementary school but “systemic failures” created a chaotic scene that lasted more than an hour before the gunman was finally confronted and killed, according to a report from investigators released Sunday. [More]
“Systemic failures”… is that what they’re calling cowardice these days?
And yeah, this is several months old– I just don’t recall seeing the “400” number before.

The federal lawsuit was filed Monday by Everytown Law on behalf of Sandra Torres, the mother of Eliahna Torres, who was fatally shot on May 24 at Robb Elementary along with 18 other children and two teachers. The lawsuit also includes the gun store that transferred the rifle to the shooter as well as police officers and agencies that were on site that day. [More]
Why would those who get away with eviscerating the Second Amendment with impunity give a damn about the First?
There’s no one’s grief these evil, blood-dancing bastards won’t exploit.
Doesn’t Everytown filing this when they know PLCAA is in play constitute a frivolous action designed to extort a settlement for which they could be countersued? It almost seems like a form of insurrection…

Uvalde School District Suspends Entire Police Force [More]
Figures a school district that carries its share of fail would do that.
Remember when some idiot grade school teacher who didn’t have a clue on how to encourage order would punish the whole class?
Then again, that’s also what “Only Ones” do to those in lockup to compel group compliance, leaving unstated the implied threat of having vengeful inmates mete out punishment to any who cause disturbances.

Rob Pincus excuses the Uvalde Cops. [More]
I just saw him finding common ground to exploit with Giffords, too.
Along with 97 Percent.
And Dan Gross.
Having screwed the pooch with the major gun groups, he’s looking to make a good living with the light-on-principles 2.0 crowd.
I guess I’ll continue to bear the shame of his disapproval for my lack of tolerance over Hillary-supporting gun trainers.
And don’t get me started on this…

Sorry. That’s extortion. At this point, it has become appropriate to tell them to go **** themselves. And if half a dozen show up to protest, watch that deemed newsworthy.
Looks like a private group. With 2.8K “members,” my bet is there’s some serious AstroTurfing going on. What are they trying to hide?
And they don’t appear to be strong enough supporters to all sign the online petition.
This appears to be the guy auditioning for national exposure.

How the GOP’s anti-immigrant crusade hindered the Uvalde shooting response – School district officials’ frequent use of a lockdown alert to warn about migrants reportedly resulted in some school faculty members initially not taking it seriously the day of the shooting. [More]
That’s the “progressive” takeaway from the official report.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. I have that on good authority…

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.”
UPDATE
Ann Barnhardt calls it like she sees it.

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.
