(9,155 posts)1. Unlocked doors, no armed officer on duty,...
They thought it couldn't happen in Uvalde.
(It's insane to even think that those measures have to be taken in an elementary school, but until something is done about access to weapons, we'll continue to live in an insane country.)

that even though that might be true, how could armed officers be standing at the barricade listening to the Ramos kid massacre innocent children and adults? Bullshit spin is what I smell in this excuse where no excuse for their cowardice comes to mind.

but not an asshole who definitely has guns and is actively shooting young kids trapped inside their classrooms.

Maybe more guns would have helped?
