Texas Department of Public Safety Admits: Waiting an Hour Before Taking Out an Armed Madman in a Room Full of Children Was Not the Optimal Call
Julio Rosas
@Julio_Rosas11 DPS Director McGraw says it was a mistake for the on-scene commander to determine the shooter was a "barricaded subject" instead of an active shooter. Believing he was a "barricaded subject" gave police the false impression they had time.
Scott MacFarlaneIt was a bad call, Ripley. There's no getting around that. It was a bad call. Don't re-think your initial declaration while you've got a madman in a room with children. Just keep "waiting for resources." Just keep waiting for the Real Police to save you. I know everyone's shocked that the cop paid to be at the school, safeguarding it, was in fact not at the school, and the cops are not giving us a reason why he wasn't at the school.
@MacFarlaneNews Texas DPS: On-site commander was convinced there was no more threat to the children... Which is why posture of police changed But agency now acknowledges: Kids were still at risk. And kids and others needed medical response
Julio RosasWhat do you want to guess? Donuts or banging his mistress? Think we'll find out that he did this routinely, and that people at the school and other cops routinely covered for him? They decided they had time to send someone to go find the spare key to get into the room instead of knocking the door in. Wouldn't want to harm that door. That could cost a couple hundred dollars to fix!
@Julio_Rosas11 DPS Director McGraw confirms a school resource officer was not originally on campus before the shooting but could not explain why that was the case.
On 40 minute delay in police engaging the suspect inside Robb Elementary School, officials say, "a decision was made that this was a barricaded subject...there was time to retrieve the keys."
— ABC News (@ABC) May 27, 2022
"From the benefit of hindsight...it was the wrong decision." https://t.co/q812K5OQTv pic.twitter.com/59SMt32ElZ
Reporter: "What efforts were the officers making to try and break through either that door or another door to get inside the classroom?" Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw: "None at that time"And apparently the Border Patrol Tactical team that killed the shooter did wait and waste time before breaching the room and killing the maniac. But they were told to wait by local police.

J. David GoodmanRemember, no one needs a gun. You have the highly-trained and motivated professionals of government-paid law enforcement to protect you and your family. Repeating this question: Here's what I'd like investigated: I wonder if the nation's prioritization of never shooting "unarmed (but actually armed) felons" has caused us to stop hiring cops with the sort of psychology you actually need for effective law enforcement -- which may occasionally necessitate shooting people -- and caused us instead to hire passive, cowardly shlubs who enjoy sitting around picking the underwear out of their asses while waiting for Real Police to show up and do their jobs for them. I honestly do not understand how "men" were content to stand outside while a real monster was inside a room with children, some alive, some dead, some bleeding out, and were content to just stand there doing nothing. Wasn't this what they signed up for? Or was it just all for the early retirement?
@jdavidgoodman DEVELOPING: The tactical team that eventually killed the Uvalde gunman arrived at the school far earlier than previously known, but was told to hold back and not go in by local police, according to two officials familiar with the response w/

Sally was walking around on school property and the adjoining area for twelve (12) f*cking minutes actively shooting at people before y'all decided to show up.
Why is that? Is that type of violence a common thing? Is that why the school didn't even bother closing the doors when the teachers and administrative staff heard it going on outside?
But most importantly, why did you lie about "we engaged him when he crashed his vehicle and he ran into the school"?

Small observation, but 1000:1 odds that the school will be bulldozed because of this trauma (like Columbine IIRC) and millions will have to be spent on a new elementary school.
Look at all the money that was "injected into the economy" - White House muppet Biden (there are so many).

in our county, only secondary schools have dedicated resource officers at each school, while elementaries have roving officers who rotate among several sites.
One of our supervisors (the one who was elected for flipping off Trump while riding her bicycle) is already on record, in responding to parents who said the most vulnerable small children needed an SRO at each site, to say the last thing she wants is "more police presence in her children's lives".

Why did he not have someone to cover the post, is the question. Is it his fault? That comes down to if he failed to call in. If he called in, and the department didn't have someone else to cover the post, that's on them.

From experience with Texas schools it's common for the school resource officer to only periodically visit the elementary schools, once a day or a few times a week depending on the district, as they usually stay mostly at the high schools. Not sure what this districts policy was.

Why did he not have someone to cover the post, is the question. Is it his fault? That comes down to if he failed to call in. If he called in, and the department didn't have someone else to cover the post, that's on them.

America no longer seems to believe in backups or cross-training to cover contingencies. Where I work, if Person A is on vacation, there's often no B or C to cover even part of what she (usually it is a "she," nowadays) is supposed to do. Sometimes, if the role of A is crucial enough, but not always.

Director McGraw says it was a mistake for the on-scene commander to determine the shooter was a "barricaded subject" instead of an active shooter. Believing he was a "barricaded subject" gave police the false impression they had time.
Dude. You go in anyway. And why did they have to wait 40 minutes for keys? Why didn't they move into the area sooner when shots were reported 15 minutes earlier?? This does not wash.

I always thought that was a little extreme. I've come to understand, it was an acute sense of shame combined with a society that didn't have a process for penance and redemption. We always had both, a sense of shame and a way back from it, as a society, that is part of what made us great. That is until progressivism, now we have neither.

And now we know there were live kids in the room calling 911 and begging for help, even as 19 cops stood outside in the hallway doing nothing.

what's important is cops going home safe after the end of their shift, we've been told this for decades. now we are seeing the "quiet part out loud" (as in so many other areas):

In a lot of schools they log comings and goings. If the SRO was supposed to be present - not a rover - but left for some reason which would not have been authorized, propping the door open would allow them to bypass that logging system.

To be fair, many schools have classrooms with metal fire doors and sometimes that reinforced safety glass also, and usually open out, and aren't easy to breach without frame spreaders/jaws or quicky saws/hot lances, etc. The key is often the fastest solution if the right tools aren't available.
Which was apparently readily available, and used as soon as scene command released the BP.
What a miserable preventable disaster. Testicular suspension is too good for these vile cowards.

Which was apparently readily available, and used as soon as scene command released the BP.

"Texas DPS: On-site commander was convinced there was no more threat to the children... Which is why posture of police changed"
Was this determination made before, or after, a cop yelled through the door saying: "Anyone in there in danger? Yell!!"?
Whereupon a little girl yelled and was immediately executed by the killer.
Seems like this latest bullshit story has a big hole in it.

That would be my assumption: a slightly truncated version of "Katze" or "Katzen."
IIRC, German Jewish surnames typically actually mean something in German - unlike a lot of other German surnames, which no longer mean anything - because Jews were required to choose surnames a few hundred years ago, i.e., relatively recently.

But most importantly, why did you lie about "we engaged him when he crashed his vehicle and he ran into the school"?
Posted by: Moron Robbie
--------------------
Notice vague words are used so often like 'engaged' in public speak that obfuscate as much as illuminate. Alternative language never used in situations is that police shot at the murderer but did not hit him or police arrived, did not shoot, but cordoned off the area to prevent others from being harmed. All of those statements are clear so that the actions can be judged for their appropriateness. Public speak verbs are used to actively muddy what actions were taken so no judgment is really possible. That is on purpose because so many people fill in the blanks on what happened when obscuring verbs are used.

A lot of schools have a master key that janitors, maintenance, and city emergency responders have. My university had this 30 years ago. I know this because a friend of mine schlepped one and made a copy on his own grinder before placing it back. Nothing ever got stolen he was just an ordinary harmless rascal that did that sort of thing because it could be done.

Yep. Where I work, it's possible for a select few individuals on a short list to check out a master key for the entire institution. The university police also have master keys, of course, though I don't know how many campus cops carry one around with them. And the custodians have building keys to the entire building in which they work.

That's such a bullshit rationalization. They knew kids had been shot in that room where the shooter was barricaded. They didn't know those kids' conditions. They just decided to assume they were all dead, but in fact several were alive and hiding, and several were on the floor bleeding out, and some kids were on the phone to 911, begging them to send cops -- even as 19 armed cops stood in the hallway just outside the classroom door, doing nothing.

"DPS Director McGraw confirms a school resource officer was not originally on campus before the shooting but could not explain why that was the case."
The school district has 4 resource officers and at least 6 separate school locations.
https://www.ucisd.net/domain/1670
Assuming at least one resource officer is always at the high school and at the junior high, 2 officers divided by 4 elementary schools equals no constant resource officer presence at those 4 schools. I rate it unlikely the chief and the detective do resource officer duty shifts.
Did the loser surveil Robb school enough to know the routine resource officer schedule for Robb? Maybe he did enough surveillance of Robb to learn that the door he entered was usually propped-open at lunchtime on warm days.
I fear that the school district, its police, and the city police became complacent, thinking, "It Can't Happen Here."

I honestly do not understand how "men" were content to stand outside while a real monster was inside a room with children, some alive, some dead, some bleeding out, and were content to just stand there doing nothing.

The Uvalde cops keep walking back their gross abandonment of their duty, gross negligence to protect the public, and abject depravity by leaving children in the hands of a madman intent on killing every one of them, leaving the wounded to die in terror when they might have been saved, and leaving the survivors, mere children, to save their own lives against an armed by madman by cowering under tables or painting themselves in the blood of their dead friends and then pretending to be dead. None of their crawling away from this horror and how they intentionally decided to let this go on will save these bastards from a day of reckoning for the unfathomable dereliction to defend those that can't defend themselves: children, little children. I hope these bastards will never be able to look their neighbors in the eye again and that are haunted by all this forever.

Who was in charge?
The elected County Sheriff is in charge. The Feds have no right to take over anything with the Sheriff's permission. Shame on the Sheriff if he let the Feds buffalo him into standing down. All Sheriffs need to tell the Feds to sit down, shut up, and do what he says. They go rogue, they get arrested.
Do Sheriffs have the guts to enforce this?

How is a school not prepared to do ANYTHING WHATSOEVER in the event of an active shooter? We've been lectured for decades that school shootings are an epidemic of pure evil that cannot be allowed to continue. Has no school taken any steps to actually prepare for one? I'm sure tens of millions of dollars were spent. Not only did this school not do anything to prepare, it actually did all it could to help the shooter, from leaving doors unlocked, to not having the school cop on duty, to the local fuckwad cops blocking the border patrol and parents from going in.

So he failed, if not upwards, then sideways. Keeping a job like that and a pension is an insult.

Exhibit A for why there needs to be a 2nd Amendment and why there needs to be open carry laws.
This is not an excuse to get rid of the guns of law-abiding citizens. Sorry, Senile Joe.
This demonstration of abject cowardice, failure, and uselessness by "men" paid by the citizenry to protect them and their children,
proves that men and women must be able to be armed to defend their loved ones because the state sure as hell isn't going to do it.
If there was any justice in the world Senile Joe would be booed loudly and vigorously throughout his speech.
His stupid persecution of policemen doing their jobs, is one big reason why this happened.

Classic examples of bureau aka public speak are in episodes of the BBC series of Yes, Minister or Yes, Prime Minister. The episode in Yes Minister where the Permanent Secretary (Humphrey) bores the BBC interviewer (and listeners) to tears with vague generalities about the unemployment problem versus his pungent and concise comments to the interviewer after Humphrey thought the interview was over are howlingly but pathetically funny example of obfuscation at work.

I own hand guns but they are no match for an AR-15. I don't know why all officers don't have AR-15's and shields in their vehicles.
Maybe some of you that are gun aficionados can answer this asI am not an expert on this subject?

They generally do. Like Mark said, an AR or shotgun. Deputy sheriffs around here have both.
Watch the video btw. There were plenty of ARs there.
They were used on the parents.

>>>Washington Post senior editor Marc Fisher tweeted on Thursday that the AR-15 rifle was “invented for Nazi infantrymen
So you are telling me Zeh Jermans invented an infantry rifle that can be disabled by....getting dirty?
No son. Not so. The AR-15 was the result of Armalite F*king around with gun ideas until they made something reasonable. Something that had numerous drawbacks that would get soldiers killed, requiring the rifle to undergo kludge patches like a video game to compensate for those issues, until eventually the modern weapon emerged, to which the most praise I can give is, it's light, it doesn't kick, it's ok to about 300 yards.
Contrast with it's ideological predecessor the M1 Carbine available for less than 100 bucks in the 50's. The carbine was only good to about 150 yards, a little heavier, and kicked a bit more. But essentially as far as performance goes a comparable weapon for an indoor mass shooting, and gosh.....didn't get used that way in the 50s

I quite accidentally came across an article on substack by a deranged leftist masquerading as some kind of deep thinker (BIRM) and honestly it's one of the top 5 stupidest things I ever read.
The long and short of her supposed theory is that in the 1950's a certain kind of Republican came out of the woodwork. They worshiped John Wayne and the image of a white male cowboy protector - that never actually existed because most cowboys were actually xomen of xolor - and they used that image to oppose Civil Rights, the same way they used to opposed freeing the slaves, because giving the federal government the power to give equality to black people would lead to "socialism".
They are using the same thing now to oppose "sensible" controls on guns and the events and failures by cops in Uvalde all prove that actually gun owners are wrong, and Democrats are right.
*This* is the claptrap that all your idiot leftard friends read, or have regurgitated to them. The obfuscations and fairy tale spinning is beyond mind-blowing. It's the lie-filled equivalent of an orgasm. It's lie bukkake. There is no sense in even beginning to counter it except with a blunt object, label side up.

Where are the kind of men who would make good cops?
Eastwood answered that decades ago with the Dirty Harry movies. His character knew right from wrong, saw things as they were and could cut through the bullshit on sight.
He was told he was a dinosaur, that times had changed (by the way here's your new female partner) and that he had to change or leave.
I guess they all left.
And yet, to look at cops these days with their high and tights and buffed out from the gym and the tacticool gear, you'd think they're ready for war pulling you over for burned out taillights.
Then shtf, and poof, time to wait behind a car.

The German Navy was generally not at all on board with the Nazi party, but the Air Force largely was. General Wehrmacht troops were mostly just guys but the elite forces were Nazi to the core. It varied a lot, but the actual card-carrying zealots were few.
I mean, not that it mattered, fighting on the German side meant fighting to protect and promote concentration camps and all the rest of that evil stuff. But most troops weren't aware of it at the time.

When you can't rely on Texas DPS you know government is fubar.
Having worked with law enforcement in a deep red area have to admit over half the force are government employees first. That any cops who would jump into line of fire, do so knowing their department and leaders won't have their backs. We used to promote heroes, now we put them in jail or shutdown their pension for their widow's and children. That is the chilling effect of BLM on law enforcement.
Surprised no idy is mentioning the aupremcourt cases saying cops have o obligation to protect us.

I read that the Border Patrol guy that killed Ramos was getting a haircut nearby when a text came in. He borrowed his barber's shotgun and went in, no body armor, and killed Ramos.
He was grazed on the top of his head by a bullet from Ramos.
You know why he went in?
He had kids in that school.

Reminds me of how a civilian student helped kill the UT sniper.
In this country, citizens may be our only hope. But they should at least be part of the solution.

"What's the deal with AR-15s? Is there something special about them?"
Look in your gun cabinet. If you wanted to commit an evil atrocity like this, which weapon would you choose? You'd most likely go with an AR or AK.

@229 Eric Blade "it actually did all it could to help the shooter, from leaving doors unlocked, to not having the school cop on duty, to the local fuckwad cops blocking the border patrol and parents from going in."
It's almost like these events are staged to result in the most massive death tolls imaginable, so that the inevitable calls for more gun control seem like a good idea and reasonable.
And people wonder why others are skeptical that these events are even really occurring and aren't just a bunch of crisis actors.

Oh . . . and does nobody have cell phones in the school?? The outside "cops" should have known within minutes exactly what was going on inside. The "we didn't know" excuse is unadulterated BULLSHIT.
___________
The shooter stopped shooting at 12:21 p.m. Shooter was still alive and still in the classroom, with live and injured and dead kids.
One kid inside the room was calling 911 on his cellphone and begging for help up until 12:47 p.m.
19 armed cops were standing outside in the hallway at that time, doing nothing, because they were told they had "time to wait" for the tactical units.
The shooter was shot dead by the BP guy at 12:51 p.m.

229 How is a school not prepared to do ANYTHING WHATSOEVER in the event of an active shooter? We've been lectured for decades that school shootings are an epidemic of pure evil that cannot be allowed to continue. Has no school taken any steps to actually prepare for one? I'm sure tens of millions of dollars were spent. Not only did this school not do anything to prepare, it actually did all it could to help the shooter, from leaving doors unlocked, to not having the school cop on duty, to the local fuckwad cops blocking the border patrol and parents from going in.
Posted by: Elric Blade
--------------------
FWIW, the district apparently had an active shooter exercise for the school system weeks before the actual shooting. In addition, two yutes in that same school system were charged several years ago in juvie about plans to shoot up the schools. No word yet whether one of those yutes was the current killer.
Additionally, the killer was reported to the Feebs tip line after in an online game that he/it lost badly, he went into a tirade via the game messaging system.

The more that comes out the more ridiculously stupid ever more people are beginning to look.
50 cops in the parking lot...25 coppas hanging out in a hallway...waited 45 minutes to bother to get keys to the door...classroom is lined with windows, few if any cops outside by the windows, EVERYONE has a cell phones, click video, set several on window sill from outside, BINGO...real time/live surveillance confirmation of exact location and activities.
Marshals/Rangers drove 75 miles to get there, still nothing happened even after they arrived.

Devastating round (see Rittenhouse,) light, short, easy to handle and shoot, hi-cap box mag, repairs require no gunsmithing, etc, etc. It's an excellent platform.
Sure, all of that is true, but that's not why they fixate on the AR. Reporters don't know any of that crap, they took a chainsaw bayonet seriously and think bright orange earplugs are rubber bullets.
It looks memorable and impressive, its iconic, and hence easy to identify and remember, and isolate to target. Its a mascot for gun control.

In reality, governments are fcked up that much in procedures mainly to shield the organization from accountability and from questions about its effectiveness. Ask any line serving military veteran, ask any front line worker, etc. Big businesses or non profits are often not much better, especially if they are in a monopoly position.

For some--too few these days---it's an actual calling. For others it's the family "business"--their fathers and grandfathers were cops.

The clean Wermacht trope came out after the war when the generals started writing their CYA memoirs. "It wasn't us. No, it was those SS guys!"
I remember Stauffenberg and co found out about the death camps and the extermination groups pretty early on. It was one of the reasons they gave for why Germans specifically needed to get rid of Hitler, and even when it looked like the war was lost they had to try.

In handguns, the most-used caliber is a 9mm, and it has far far less muzzle energy when compared to the AR load, the 5.56/.223.
A .357 magnum comes close enough to the 5.56 to be considered about equal, and a .44 mag beats the carbine load.
It's that energy smack that kills, not the size of the bullet.
Basic physics. F equals m times a. The 5.56 is a killer due to how much powder is in that casing creating the propulsion explosion.
But the 5.56 ain't no deer rifle. No sir. People hunt with them, but it's far better to go bigger. The old saddle rifle 30-30 Winchester, from 125 years ago, delivers about 50 percent more muzzle energy than the AR round.

Stauffenberg and others of the Prussian military elite had NO problem with Hitler's nationalism or territorial ambitions, and most were probably anti-Semitic to one degree or another. But they were horrified by the death camps, believing the genocide was a moral outrage that would forever stain the honor of Germany.

The commander on scene called it a barricaded subject situation because he was more concerned about his people than the kids. It allowed him to change his tactical posture from "go in now" to "sit and wait.". Fucker knew it was still an active shooter situation.

It is *reasonable* to have some weird coincidences in a case like this because without the strange confluence of events, the case wouldn't have happened - meaning, maybe insane guy goes to school intending harm, but can't get in so it becomes a standoff of some kind. A door lazily left ajar alters said story into something much bigger.
HOWEVER, there *are* a lot of coincidences and the excuses are very convenient and not believable at the moment.
Also the WH seems for some reason to not want to bother investigating even though it's quite obviously a gigantic fuckup.

424 I remember Stauffenberg and co found out about the death camps and the extermination groups pretty early on. It was one of the reasons they gave for why Germans specifically needed to get rid of Hitler, and even when it looked like the war was lost they had to try.
Posted by: 18-1 at May 27, 2022 03:03 PM (ESjRY)
Stauffenberg and others of the Prussian military elite had NO problem with Hitler's nationalism or territorial ambitions, and most were probably anti-Semitic to one degree or another. But they were horrified by the death camps, believing the genocide was a moral outrage that would forever stain the honor of Germany.

Well even when it came to trying to mass murder the Jews, couldn't just shoot them all, it's too psychologically scarring. Was screwing up the soldiers ordered to do the shooting mentally.

I live in a town of around 20K. Several years ago, the local campus cops got wind of a potential shooter. He was in the process of arming up when they caught up with him. Took him down quickly, no fuss, no muss, no dead bodies (he was in a hotel room or something). So, yes, they CAN intervene and do good. They chose not to (or were ORDERED not to) in this instance.

Yeah but there's a pretty big leap from that to "and they are being systematically murdered, experimented on, and their gold teeth harvested." Getting the Jews out of Germany probably was considered a good thing -- remember originally the plan was to deport them to Eastern Europe.

Several years ago we had a well-known nutjob who tried to shoot up and blow up (with a propane cylinder) a local elementary school. Two Mexican gardeners tackled him and subdued him, God love 'em.
Btw, the cops knew all about this guy, since his neighbors called them about his bizarre behavior about once a month. But thanks to Supreme Court decisions (notably O'Connor v. Donaldson), they had no legal grounds to arrest him. Thanks, Supremes!

to be VERY generous to the original idiot in the tweet, they're potentially technically not wrong. after WWI the germans did a study and found that most infantry battles occurred at less than 200 meters, iirc. so the Springfield, Garand, Gewher, etc, were NOT needed by the regular infantry. they needed guns that could fire faster and didn't have to be accurate at a distance much beyond 50-75 meters. thus the Sturmgewher and STG were developed.
I suppose one could argue the AR platform was an remodel and improvement of the STG platform. But one would have to be VERY generous to make that leap.

to be VERY generous to the original idiot in the tweet, they're potentially technically not wrong. after WWI the germans did a study and found that most infantry battles occurred at less than 200 meters, iirc. so the Springfield, Garand, Gewher, etc, were NOT needed by the regular infantry. they needed guns that could fire faster and didn't have to be accurate at a distance much beyond 50-75 meters. thus the Sturmgewher and STG were developed.
I suppose one could argue the AR platform was an remodel and improvement of the STG platform. But one would have to be VERY generous to make that leap.

278 I read that the Border Patrol guy that killed Ramos was getting a haircut nearby when a text came in. He borrowed his barber's shotgun and went in, no body armor, and killed Ramos.
He was grazed on the top of his head by a bullet from Ramos.
You know why he went in?
He had kids in that school.
__________
Two different BP agents. The one getting a haircut was Jacob Albarado. His wife was a teacher at the school, and he had a daughter there too. He rushed to the school with the barber's shotgun, and he helped get his wife, kid, and other students and teachers out of the school. He was not the BP agent who shot and killed the shooter.
The BP agent who killed the shooter has not been named yet. Photos of him show him with a heavy beard. Albarado is clean shaven.

I think you need to make sure to separate active resistance members like Stauffenberg or Gertsdorff with people who were ok with getting rid of Hitler, like Rommel, but weren't going to actively do so...

Stauffenberg strongly considered strapping a bomb to himself and taking Hitler with him---or shooting him outright with a pistol when he knew it would mean certain death.

Yeah, but that got abandoned and I don't think many Germans thought the Jews were being put on boats to Madagascar
Its difficult for me to believe the Germans could possibly have done what they did in WWII and I've done tons of research for decades. Imagine being a ground pounder in a Foxhole hearing rumors of death camps. How likely are you to believe your beloved homeland would do such a thing?
You'll help round up Jews and believe they are the source of your woes but you'll figure they are being imprisoned or shipped out somewhere else -- like now, the little guy doesn't know all the big guy's plans and actions.

Then, the inevitable accusations by the same press accusing them now, followed by the burning, looting and rioting. And after all that, the trials for manslaughter.

70 miles is kinda far from the border for everyone to call Ubalse a border town no?
Posted by: Joe XiDen at May 27, 2022 03:16 PM (OalnH)
I think "border town" gets used somewhat euphemistically and also because people think it's actually a border town.
Though it is on a route used by wetbacks to get to San Antonio.

To government employees your kids are not a priority. Their priorities are:
1) I don't get shot
2) I keep my pension
3) I don't get in trouble with the media or any activist groups
Posted by: 18-1 at May 27, 2022 03:02 PM (ESjRY)
I don't really have a problem with that.
Right up to the point where people are being killed as you stand by idly awaiting something, whether that is "resources" or a plan or a command.
These guys are likely not going to be in this situation again in their lives. Probably hadn't been in that situation up until that moment.
This is what the people pay you for. This is why they'll put up with all the down time and bullshit that goes with being full time LEO.
So that when this moment comes, you rise to the occasion and do what has to be done by someone.
They will all have to live with themselves for the rest of their lives. I predict a lot of alcoholism for those present. Maybe a few suicides.

"Resettlement to the east" was a euphemism, and they all knew it meant death.
No, originally they really meant resettlement, until they realized they wanted to take over that land and would have to just move them again. It was pretty early on that this was discussed; by the time they invaded Poland total extermination was the policy.
But they didn't broadcast that on the nightly news. They were still running PR movies about taking people like epileptics and mentally retarded to special places they could get the care they needed.
Frankly by that point I think that most Germans didn't really give a crap what happened to the Jews, but dismissed the death camps etc as enemy propaganda as someone else said above.

There were scores of heavily armed law enforcement officers wearing body armor and sunglasses keeping themselves posted outside a building far away from a single active-shooter psychopath inside that building murdering children at will. Those armed government officials knew there were still children hiding in that building. They knew there had to be wounded children in dire need of medical help. They ignored the desperate pleadings of loving parents.
-If this does not dispel the idiot fantasy that government is the solution to society's problems, then nothing will.
We are living in a nightmare of progressive/leftist governance. And it's only going to get worse. Will society wake up?

265 What's the deal with AR-15s? Is there something special about them?
Posted by: N.L. Urker
---
My opinion: No, there's nothing special about them. It's easy to learn to shoot an AR relatively well. That was one of the original design considerations, and it's one reason for its popularity now. Another reason is low cost. With AR's you get the benefit of economy of scale due to interchangability of parts and high production volumes. AR's aren't really the BEST rifle for any particular use, but they're pretty good for lots of uses. That's why they've become ubiquitous among private owners.

'It's important to bear in mind that the extermination of the Jews dates to Wannsee Conference, which occurred in January 1942, i.e., several years into the war.'
Extermination had been ongoing since 1939 at the latest. Wannsee was to put everyone on the same page as to how it would continue to occur.

Let's go arguendo, say the guy is just a shitty writer, and allow that the general concept of "sturmgewehr" was developed for 'Nazi' infantry, so the M-16 is a kind of descendant of it. So when you outlaw those, you find that virtually every bolt action in the world is a copy of the Mauser three-extractor action, developed for...German infantry. Knock out bolt actions, and there's the breech-loading needle gun, developed for...Prussian infantry. Not hard to see where they're headed, here. We're going to lever actions and revolvers. And I'm OK with that.

502 I suppose one could argue the AR platform was an remodel and improvement of the STG platform. But one would have to be VERY generous to make that leap.
*I await Anna to correct me...*
Posted by: SturmToddler
----------------------
I am not Anna but I will answer--not in any way, shape, or form. The body of the STG-44 was made from stamped and welded metal, it used a long gas piston, and used materials of its time-steel. The AR design used pins, gas impingement, rotating bolt, and so on. The gas impingement came from the Ljungman Swedish WWII era firearms and was also used by the French MAS battle rifle.

The bullying thing is a crap excuse and an attempt to deflect from the corrupt society that spawns these scumbags. Almost everyone was bullied in school, but almost nobody turns psychotic and kills people over it. That's on THEM not bullies.
Facing hardship, mean treatment, and pain in life is what helps us grow and learn to deal with difficulty for when we face the real hardships. It sucks be called a dweeb in school. Its awful pain to have your heart broken. But that's like baby steps to deal with things like watching your once-brilliant, talented mother degrade into a drooling child before your eyes, dying by degrees.
Life is very hard and painful and you need to learn to grow up to face these hardships. The continual attempts to prevent kids from facing any difficulty just makes it immensely harder when they inevitably are forced to.

I have been saying over and over that teachers are the number one enemy and that their power must be cut back or they will destroy our nation. I know this based on my business experience which is in education, and on my experience as a parent dealing with both public, private, and parochial schools in South Florida. What do I get for warning people? Always a teacher or the husband of a teacher whining about their exemplary wife who is a great teacher yadayada.
I can count with the fingers of one hand the good teachers my sons encountered in over 20 years in the school system.
Homeschool. It is the only solution.

@556 Good one, but it gets better. After the war, anything in Germany that could be interpreted as "armament industry" was shut right down. The Russians even packed up the factories and took them home with them.

"when I hear a cop say "I just want to help people.""
Then do it. Help them by protecting them from the people preying on them. Do it, or else people will start doing it themselves, and that's never pretty. That isn't in anyone's best interest.
Don't delude yourself. The police force was created in large part to protect criminals and the unjustly accused from the excesses of vigilante justice. Vigilantes, for their part, agreed to stop vigilantee-ing in exchange for the promise that the cop would do it for them.
Every time a person finds their catalytic converter cut off and the police act like they don't give a shit, you take a step towards the vigilantes taking back up the mantle.
When they won't even protect our children from being brutally murdered, it causes more and more to wonder if we need them at all.
This gon' get ugly, gang.
