Disturbing new footage shows Salvador Ramos roam Uvalde school halls, cops running away from gunshots
The bombshell video, first obtained by the Austin-American Statesman, shows how police officers dilly-dallied in the hallway of Robb Elementary School instead of going after 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos as he systematically slaughtered 21 people on May 24.
Police share photo of Highland Park suspect’s gun
A spokesperson for the Lake County Major Crime Task Force said the suspect used a rifle “similar to an AR-15” from atop a commercial building and fired into a crowd that had gathered for the parade in Highland Park.
SUB CQB: Folding / Quiet / Carbine
The 9mm SUB CQB was developed with personal defense in mind. Integrated noise suppression offers a tactical advantage while protecting the defender from decibel chaos. We highly recommend you utilize the integrated picatinny rails. Add a combat light and quality optic to this quiet little protector for positive threat identification and target acquisition.
All that propaganda about the gun being a S&W M&P AR-15 was BS. This isn’t even close to an AR-15.
MTG: ‘America Has A Drug Problem’ With SSRIs, Psychiatric Drugs Common Among Mass Shooters
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posited “it’s not just a coincidence” that many mass shootings are carried out by young men who take anti-depressants and other psychotropic drugs.
“Mass shootings are a sign that America has a drug problem, a serious drug problem. But no one wants to give attention to it,” the Congresswoman said. “This mass shooting issue, it really affects mostly boys.”
“Here’s what I want to talk about. I want to talk about with psychiatric medications like SSRIs, they have side effects, they do. They have side effects like thoughts, they cause thoughts, homicidal thoughts, suicidal thoughts, that is a common known side effect of SSRIs,” Congresswoman Greene said.
Uvalde school police chief ditched his radio during shooting because he ‘thought it would slow him down’ and claims he ‘didn’t know he was in charge’ as he describes standing outside classroom while 12 kids and teachers inside waited for help
The Uvalde School Police Chief widely blamed for the disastrous cop handling of the massacre at an elementary school has revealed he intentionally ditched his radios because he thought they would ‘slow him down’, and said he didn’t know he was in charge of the operation.
Pete Arredondo was in charge of the tiny school police force in the Uvalde Consolidated School district when gunman Salvador Ramos opened fire in Robb Elementary School on May 24.
He has been widely blamed for not responding to the shooting more promptly, and Texas officials even said he gave directives to cops telling them not to try to breach the classroom where Ramos had barricaded himself inside with kids.
Imagine the terror those children faced. Realize the cowardice of every police officer standing outside hearing gunshots and waiting for 77 minutes before entering the building. Consider at the lies the police have told – at least the ones we know about so far. Ask why schools are targets and why the government has done essentially nothing since Columbine to protect schoolchildren. Hint: because dead kids promote national gun confiscation. The gun grabbers are using massacres of children to promote their flawed and anti-Constitutional anti-gun agenda.
Bulletproof backpack sales soar in wake of Texas school shooting
In the immediate aftermath of the May 24 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that killed 19 children and two teachers, Leatherback Gear saw an 800 percent increase in sales, its CEO and founder told TMZ. A company called Tuffypacks saw a 300 percent spike in sales of its armored bag inserts, which can be placed inside any retail backpack, TMZ said.
Uvalde Cops Reportedly Tried To Silence the Mom Who Rescued Her Kids and Criticized the Police Response
In an interview with CBS that aired this weekend, Gomez explained how she was able to enter the school and rescue her two children despite the cops’ active efforts to thwart her. The entire interview is a damning indictment of law enforcement’s mishandling of the shooting, but one new detail bears particular emphasis: According to Gomez, the police subsequently contacted her and said that the media attention she was generating for criticizing them could lead to obstruction of justice charges. (Gomez is on probation for unspecified though decades-old charges.)
This woman was inside the school while shots were being fired. The police knew the shooter was still active and let children die instead of entering the school.
Justice Department to review police response to Uvalde shooting

Why it matters: Local and state law enforcement officials have faced intense criticism for their response to the shooting as details and a fuller timeline of events have emerged.
