United States Texas shooting: Fifteen killed in attack on US Elementary School

[Bear Ribs]

The Indiana Shooter, from what I saw in the news, had two rifles (one an AR-15) and a Glock but never got past firing the one rifle due to suffering acute lead poisoning ten seconds into his spree.

As is ARs are... really common rifles so it's not that surprising that multiple shooters might have one.

 

[Captain X]

It's just that they look to be the same with the same optics, configured in the same way. They almost look like the same exact rifles. So between that and the cost of these weapons, it kind of makes one wonder if they weren't just given the things by a third party, or perhaps given money to purchase them and told exactly what to purchase.

 

[bullethead]

Two of those uppers are literally common Palmetto State Armory kits that are on sale all the time.

The red dots being the same is interesting for sure, but that doesn't mean anything either. Literally could've just been available on sale, bought with the rifle/upper, and/or been the most widely recommended optic they heard about.

 

[Zachowon]

In the sense of "they both had AR-15s", yes that appears to be the case. But they're not exactly the same per those photos, they've been configured differently.

Though even if they were identically configured, I'm not sure why that would be viewed as done sinister sign. These losers are notorious copycats, cloning a previous shooter's rifle setup sounds right up thier alley.

"GIVEN BY THE GOVERNEMTN" kinda thing.
But yeah BH got it

 

[Sergeant Foley]

Sounds like Arrendando might get the big boot as Uvalde CISD Police Chief

Yep.

Uvalde school shooting: Embattled police chief Pete Arredondo fired

Pete Arredondo has been much criticised for officers' 77-minute delay in confronting the teen gunman.

www.bbc.com

"Lawyers for Mr Arredondo - who was not at the meeting - called him "a courageous officer" and his firing "an unconstitutional public lynching". "

 

[49ersfootball]

Not shocked about the Uvalde CISD School Board of Trustees FINALLY firing Arredondo.

 

[posh-goofiness]

Welp. There it is, boys, the token firing has happened. I will now be surprised if anything else comes of this.

 

[Sergeant Foley]

They should've fired his ass from the beginning because of his stupid incompetence and cowardice.

I'd be happy if they disbanded that entire fucking police force

 

[lloyd007]

I'd be happy if they disbanded that entire fucking police force

Yeah, every single one of them failed utterly at their most basic duty.

 

[Terthna]

Yeah, every single one of them failed utterly at their most basic duty.

Except for that one guy who tried to go in because his wife was a teacher there, but was restrained by his colleagues.

Make him the chief and fire the rest.

 

[Bear Ribs]

I wish I thought this might actually be serious consequences but the fact that all the police officers are going to be "placed in different roles" gives me the uneasy feeling this is just theatre. Still suspending the entire police department is something unusual.

Note that to even get this result, the parents of the murdered children literally set up a small tent city and camped outside the school district building while continuously protesting for something like ten days. This was a monumental effort for what should have been a no-brainer.

They need to be charged with manslaughter and accessory to murder and aiding and abetting.

 

[The Immortal Watch Dog]

Normally I wouldn't say that about cops but there's a level of incompetence that frankly becomes criminal. And those retards reached it and then exceeded it when they went into criminal intimidation and evidence tampering to cover their asses then started cope posting about it on twitter.

 

[bintananth]

They need to be charged with manslaughter and accessory to murder and aiding and abetting.

And more ...

Physically preventing someone from assisting a casualty is Assault and Battery at a minimum.

An angry prosecutor could have such an absolute field day with long lists of charges that a judge might say - in private - "You could have added more."

No.

This was an abject failure of the command structure, likely filled with people unsuited to the job who collapsed under pressure. The bobbies at the scene were ready to go in, but the word never came.

You don't punish a soldier for his general's mistake.

Jail them all.

Up and down the chain of command and then the police Union reps as well for good measure.

Salt the fucking earth.

That most of them should be fired for dereliction of duty, I think is fair.

The person who ordered them not to go in, him I would say needs to be brought up on charges, even if it's just 'criminal negligence.' Even in today's legal framework, actively preventing others from trying to save the children means that they can't just claim they aren't legally required to act. They did act, and actively prevented others from helping.
