Cowardice in Uvalde continues: Parents and press told to leave town hall before police testimony

[ck4829]

Parents and reporters were asked to leave Uvalde City Hall this afternoon before a Texas House of Representatives committee held a hearing to gather testimony from officers involved in the response to a school shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers and wounded 17 others there last month.

Video posted by CNN’s Shimon Prokupecz shows a fire marshal telling Prokupecz that they are being asked to leave the meeting because “someone is intimidated.”

As the conversation continues a chaplain walks by saying he’s “come down to protect our children.”

Another man, whose nephew reportedly was among those killed in the shooting, asks the fire marshal, “What people are intimidated, the officers?”

1. did these people want the victims to perish?

there's no accounting for what they did that day. I just ache thinking about this. My daughter was killed and it felt unbearable, but I had a shot at justice. I can only imagine the daily hell these loved ones are enduring right now.

oh yeah. fucking cowards. no press, no victims? private meetings to what end?

3. I hope they will be prosecuted.

to the fullest.

two things i really struggle with are what was their motive in allowing the massacre to go on, and how do they sleep.
