#7 ...At least a couple early reports were suggesting that this was a shootout between the shooter and the Border Patrol gone wrong. The reality was bad enough, but I can only imagine the demands that would have been made.

#12 Radio hype guy was pissing all over my seats this morning about this story and gun control. I'll bet a half remaining roll of paper towels the media pimps are not going to like this story in about 6 hours.

#15 The grave dancing by the Dems is disgusting as it is predictable. They're still trying to piece the bodies together, let alone a decent burial and the Dems are out there with a list of all their most extreme agenda items. Suspend the 2nd Amendment and all border enforcement? Meanwhile Chicago is an open shooting gallery as is NYC, as the latest NYC subway shooter was out on $1 bail. I don't mind the country coming together in grief, but this is being pimped by the media to provide cover to all those Dem run shithole shooting galleries and the POS pols who oversee this carnage every week. Grotesque.

#16 Reports from locals are he escaped apprehension and ran to the school after police responded to the shooting of his grandmother. I hope they sort it out, I would be interested in knowing the entire event. Not that it matters much to the end.

#18 Various sources are saying second hand the kid was the classic moody loner who sometimes acted out. None of them pointed to any reliable evidence, though.

#19 Seen a couple things which suggest a bit more than that; like an interest in a particular very trendy lifestyle.

Also, he had some $5K in kit?

All unconfirmed, but I guess others noticed a smell too.

#20 The guns were nice. I'd expect the results he got were the result of serious practice. You could give the same hardware to a couple Chiraq bangas and get 200+ rounds fired, 26 wounded and three maybe four kills.

Which says the human element is the main deal. Just don't expect lefties to agree unless it's a what supremacis.

#21 And right on cue, Beto just lays a stinking self serving pile of $h!t on every Texan during the ongoing live statements by TX officials. This is pure evil. This is what the face of Godlessness looks like. Not just the shooter, but those who attempt to profit off the corpses of our children.

#22 The people who want to vote for Beetle will, no matter what he says or does. On the other side, leftists will try to turn every word out of Abbott or Paxon's mouth into an impeachable offense.

#24 Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: "There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place."
Show me one law that lets children be shot in their schools moron.

Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos once cut up his face with knives ‘just for fun,’ friends say

The gunman who slaughtered 19 kids and two teachers at a Texas elementary school reportedly exhibited increasingly bizarre behavior leading up to the rampage – including cutting up his face with knives just “for fun,” friends said.

Gunman Salvador Ramos’ friend Santos Valdez Jr., 18, said the two had been close, playing video games and basketball regularly, until his friend’s behavior began to “deteriorate,” the Washington Post reported.

At one point, he recounted, Ramos showed up at a park with scratch marks across his face and said he had been attacked by a cat.

“Then he told me the truth, that he’d cut up his face with knives over and over and over,” Valdez told the newspaper

“I was like, ‘You’re crazy, bro, why would you do that?’” he said. Ramos told him it was just “for fun,” Valdez said.

#29 Democrat Politicians continue to terminate on campus police in order for school shootings to rise so they can come after your 2nd Amendment Rights. In the meantime, THEIR kids will continue to attend private schools which have much better security than public schools.

#30 Apparently they gave this subhuman 45 minutes before going into the school after him. One of the first responders said they heard shooting inside for 45 minutes.

Every worthless cop outside should be charged as an accessory.

45 minutes of shooting
