Uvalde county overwhelmingly re-elected the sheriffs and politicians who caused this. They also voted Abbott. It’s hard to maintain sympathy for a community who had this happen to them, and turned around and voted for the same people. They had an opportunity to bring about change and decided that the death of all those kids didn’t matter. If they don’t care about their own community, why should I?

I shouldn’t be surprised.
Partisan ideologues are why we’ll never make any more meaningful progress in this country.
That’s a funny way to say ‘cowardice.’
To be honest the title should have included the complete quote … “cascading failures of leadership”.
It seems like AI is writing too many headlines these days. :/
Idk, it takes some real courage to stand between a parent and their dying kid.
Let’s see some cascading firings and sentencings.
Failure would imply that the cops actually tried to stop it.
… Huh? That’s what they failed though?
FBI Stats for Mass Shootings for the curious: https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents-in-the-us-2022-042623.pdf
2022 had 50 incidents.
9 incidents where LEO got to engage shooters.
7 of them killed by LEO.
2 killed by citizens.
29 apprehended by LEO.
9 shooters suicided.
21 LEO wounded.
1 LEO died.
The first failure was the 2nd Amendment.
There were multiple opportunities to take the shooter into custody and make sure he couldn’t own a gun before he ever bought a gun. All it takes is one felony conviction.

“He had also previously posted violent threats online.[127]”
"Ramos’ social media acquaintances said he openly abused and killed animals such as cats and would livestream the abuse on Yubo.[128] Other social media acquaintances said that he would also livestream himself on Yubo threatening to kidnap and rape girls who used the app, as well as threatening to commit a school shooting.[127] Ramos’ account was reported to Yubo, but no action was taken.[127][129] "
“A year before the shooting, Ramos started posting pictures to his Instagram account of semi-automatic rifles that were on his wish list. According to a friend of his, he would often drive around at night with another friend, shooting at strangers with a BB gun and egging cars.”
" On May 14, Ramos sent a private Instagram message reading, “10 more days”. A person responded, “Are you going to shoot up a school or something?” He replied, “No, stop asking dumb questions. You’ll see.”[127]"
“According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, in September 2021, Ramos asked his older sister to buy him a gun, but she refused.[56]”
You can get over being mad about that because it will be here longer than you and all the rest of us.
The right to bear arms is a great freedom that we should all celebrate.
Yeah! Have a big party! Invite all 19 of the families whose kids were brutally slaughtered in school! I’m sure they’d love that sort of party.
This really has nothing to do with anything I said, but go on about whatever I guess.
They don’t argue in good faith.
He doesn’t seem mad. Just stating a fact.
That was not a fact at all, that was a dumb opinion that was wrong, in fact.
You’re the only one here who seems mad about being wrong. It’s not the 18th century anymore.
I’m the one who is most right of all, because I actually understand the law and the logistics of Constitutional Amendments. The rest of you disagreeing with me are displaying cognitive dissonance, because you don’t want to believe the truth, or just plain old ignorance.
The fact is that the 2nd Amendment will remain in place no matter what you ever do. Because it takes a 3/4 majority of the 50 states to ratify an Amendment to change that. It only requires 13 states to vote NO to changing it to retain it. Now, go and count how many red states there are.

What the fuck you’re proving his point dude lmao
I agree, bad opinion to have on lemmy though I’ll say lol
It’s not a bad opinion anywhere, it’s just the truth and anybody who doesn’t like it is wrong.
