Armed Law Enforcement Was on the Scene in Uvalde. They Just Didn't Do Anything

Armed law enforcement officers were present on Tuesday as a shooter entered an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and slaughtered 21 people, including 19 young children. They just didn’t do anything.

The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that onlookers urged police to go into the school and stop the massacre, to no avail. “Go in there! Go in there!” women shouted, according to one witness. Javier Cazares, whose daughter Jacklyn was killed, said police were congregated outside the building when he arrived, prompting him to suggest other bystanders rush to try to stop the carnage themselves. “Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to,” he said. “More could have been done.”

“There were more of them,” Cazares added. “There was just one of him.”

The revelation comes as conservatives who oppose common-sense gun control measures have advocated for stocking schools with armed guards, and in many cases armed teachers, to prevent mass shootings. The massacre in Uvalde on Tuesday is proof positive that doing so doesn’t guarantee anything, and that if someone who is heavily armed wants to wreak havoc, they’re going to be able to do so.

2. Conservatives aren't yet willing to accept the fact

that their love of guns and ammunition cannot be justified or excused.

It is merely a fetish, and all of society is paying the ultimate price.

Reminds me of those historical conservatives who justified slavery as their "peculiar institution".

3. The teacher's confronted the gunman to protect the children

And were gunned down. The police with body armour, tactical gear, automatic weapons , training and knowledge of the school stood outside while children were slaughtered. We saw them parading around in military gear (accumulating double overtime pay) and then using their tactical training to subdue parents....great job officers. Zeros not hero's...cowards not protectors...posturing do nothings.

6. They are about to put a Parkland officer on trial.

He's a Broward County deputy, who the prosecutor has charged with hiding instead of engaging the shooter.

Get real Mr. Prosecutor. Nobody knows how they're going to react when faced with actual gunfire. Even a good guy with a gun.
