Why would you prop open a door that doesn’t lock? The whole reason to prop it open is because it will lock. Is there some other reason to prop it open? They didn’t know it was unlocked.

The teachers believed the doors locked which is why she propped it open. None of the outside door locks were working for some reason though. She didn’t know it wasn’t working. There is video evidence of her shutting the door and the report says she shut the door. She was at no fault. I don’t know how any fault could be placed on her.

Hawkeye21 2,382 Posted September 9, 2022 Another shooting in Uvalde, TX. May need to put that wall around the northern border of Texas now. https://twitter.com/wnct9/status/1568025584965656577?s=46&t=tCvA0RwE8vATtLKL6RRoQw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pimpadeaux 2,404 Posted October 7, 2022 More fallout from this shooting. https://abcnews.go.com/US/uvalde-school-district-suspends-entire-police-force-fallout/story?id=91172897 One of the firings was of a Texas Department of Public Safety officer, who just stood around during the shooting. The DPS hired her, and then Uvalde ISD hired her but turned around and fired her after learning about her DPS firing. From what I understand, DPS training is more intense that for the U.S. Marine Corps. So this highly trained officer stood around while kids were getting shot, and there is a mindset that teachers should be armed, that everyone should be armed. Yeah, first-grade teacher Mrs. Delilah Fancybottom, is going to whip out her gun to take down an active shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She didn't give a sh*t because it wasn't her kid. She's a POS who shouldn't have ever been a first responder. Sometimes even POS'es slip through the cracks. Apparently there are a lot of cracks in Uvalde, Texas. 2) A teacher who cares about his/her/their/them's students could absolutely get involved. 3) The initiatives to arm teachers are all voluntary. No one is asking a teacher to arm themselves if they don't want to or aren't comfortable doing so. 4) Even if a a given teacher chooses not to get involved, if we arm any that are capable and willing SOME will engage. How is it worse to have MORE resources, who are already there and in the middle of it anyways, instead of prohibiting that? It makes no sense. 5) Every initiative I've read about, and I've researched this, to arm teachers requires some level of training. Teachers aren't being asked to just strap on a gun and engage. You're not interested in actually debating this logically and intelligently. I'll wait for your asinine response. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not for gun bans or the kinds of hardcore restrictions they have in other countries, but I most certainly am for not letting a mentally disturbed kid walk into a gun place and buy a semi-automatic weapons. I'm OK with armed security guards on campuses, but arming teachers isn't going to fix the problem. It's a dumb idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 4,057 Posted January 19, 2024 CNN — A special grand jury was chosen in Uvalde, Texas Friday to investigate the response to the 2022 massacre at Robb Elementary School, according to the local newspaper, The Uvalde Leader-News. A grand jury investigation would represent the first publicly known development within the criminal justice system amid all the investigations into the botched police response. The paper reports jurors are expected to spend at least six months investigating the case. CNN has reached out to the local prosecutor and court officials but has not yet received a response. The report of the grand jury empanelment comes a day after Attorney General Merrick Garland visited Uvalde and delivered a scathing DOJ review of the law enforcement response – but the two events may be unrelated. The Uvalde Leader-News reports a pool of potential grand jurors had previously been summoned to appear today. ‘Bout time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
