| #11 Already speculation that the Samaritan may be in trouble because the mall is a Fine ,then the families of the vics should sue the property for being "an attractive nuisance" |

| #5 Perhaps Ison and the Uvalde Chief of police could open up a doughnut shop. They appear to have dead ended in LE. |

| #4 Ison said he did not yet know the specific gender or ages of those who were killed. Some police chief. |

| #3 Will the Good Samaritan be arrested and punished, as it seems to be the (LSD) Democrat way of addressing Thug/Murderer depopulation incidents? |
