      Not defending those guys, but it was a clusterfuck of Biblical proportions more than a lack of courage or will. PBS has an awesome documentary on it. I can’t watch it twice.

        I appreciate a bureaucratic fuck up as much as the next guy, but when the hard math is 300 armed dudes outside and 1 armed dude shooting kids in a school for the entire runtime of Shrek, I have no benefit of the doubt left to give. Maybe if it was a dog with a gun they would’ve shot it 30 seconds after arriving on scene.

        I don’t need a documentary to tell me what I saw. I remember a cop in the hallway, so scared to peek around the corner, I’m honestly surprised he didn’t pee his pants. The only time he ever dared to peek around the corner, and down the hall to where the guy was still killing little kids one by one, was when another guy peeked around the corner, and he’d hide behind the other guy. After that disgusting display of cowardice, I’m sure nobody he knows will ever look at him the same again.

        The only performance I’ve ever seen that was as cowardly was the Parkland cop who not only stayed outside and listened to all those students get murdered, but when other cops showed up, he told them not to go in either.

        Well, certainly not “more than a lack of courage or will”, more like “in addition to a lack of courage or will”. Otherwise someone would have had the courage and the will, regardless of clusterfuck proportion.

          There was one mom who had the “courage & will” to go get her daughter, and the cops threatened to arrest her. Can’t have citizens being braver than the ENTIRE police force.

          I don’t understand why that town didn’t demand that the entire police force be fired, from the Police Chief all the way down. The next force would them know what is expected of them, since the first one didn’t umderstand that protecting the children is their highest priority.

        If I were one of them I think my communication gear would malfunction and I wouldn’t get the orders to do nothing, if that is what happened.

    On Sky News (of course), there was a “Member of local Jewish community” who immediately blamed the shooting on Pro-Palestinian rallies. Also espousing “from the river to the sea” is KILL ALL JEWS. Can’t make this shit up

      Mate, I’m in Portugal and of all the countries and people who made statements about this attack, the only one the news TV station I was watching actually played was the one from the Israeli government.

      These fucking assholes are very purposefully feeding the very “Israel and Jewish People are the same thing” that makes people thing that the sociopathic genocidal mass murdering of chidren done by Israel is a Jewish Thing, which in turn feed the real anti-semitism.

      To support a modern day white colonialist ethno-Fascist project (and the local Fascists who support it) these people are activelly fostering an environment were innocents are killed because they’re Jewish.

    The architects of AI did not even include those who did the science, right?.. Only those who try to make money based on that…

      2 or 3 of them were scientists, but they only chose the most famous ones who don’t have time for science anymore.

    Yet another example of immigrants coming here and disrupting the lives of honest white mass murderers. How dare they.

    EDIT: Not white, it seems.

      But that’s the difference between well integrated Muslims (who shoot at Jewish people as a white supremacist would) and not integrated people who reject racism and stop any killing of people. All this peace and love is not compatible with Western values.
