You gotta cut Ted some slack, he's been around guns his whole life, I mean his dad killed JFK, right?

Does Ted Cruz know the correct name of all of the parts of a door?

[pfife]

I realize this topic doesn't lend itself to comedy but you won the morning for me with this.

Guns don't kill people. Indoctrinating kids with library books do.

there's an underrated part of that beto video that needs to be called out for it's sheer awesomeness

Raffy Cruz telling someone not to do a political stunt

When Beto was campaigning for president, the El Paso shooting happened. When he is campaigning for governor, the Uvalde shooting happens. I smell a conspiracy and crisis actors.

The guy who participated in Rand Paul's armed UAV protest filibuster?  The guy who shut down the US Government multiple times thus jacking up the cost of every defense acquisition to the tune of billions in waste,  That Raffy?  

[oblong]

He filmed a video in a parking lot of him loading water into a truck.... like they set it up Better Call Saul style.  We'll pretend he's at an event.

I saw a Facebook comment yesterday of someone calling it a false flag event.

this is a such a key point to all these idiots who talk about arming 'defenders' everywhere, and that is that not only are their tactical assumptions about what is possible completely asinine, but their assumption that you can assume that the personal courage on the part of the defenders to put themselves at high risk of death is just commonplace in the population, it is NOT is never will be. Total loonspuddery.

It's interesting, the fact the cops were too afraid to go into the classroom really makes me call into question the Don't Mess With Texas mantra.

I've just been rattled this week.  It's been hard trying to concentrate on things.  I have no connection with these folks, but it's just ripping me up inside.   2nd & 3rd graders...............we never had such worries in the 70s.   At my school in 2nd grade the most controversial thing was being allowed to wear shorts (teachers strike extended the year until early July, our old school did not have central A/C, and wearing shorts was forbidden - even in public school).

For sure.

For me, driving around where I live, you constantly see the "thin blue line" flags and all the virtue signaling about the cops, most of which is a reaction to BLM protests one imagines.

Yet for all the flags and bumper sticker decals, cops aren't perfect... they are human just like anyone else. And as such shouldn't be above criticism or scrutiny.

The events a couple of days ago are a case in point. All evidence points thus far to failure on the part of those responding to this incident.
