    Uvalde SWAT Team Bragged About Training at Schools on Facebook

    Like many cities in America, Uvalde, Texas, has a SWAT team. According to a Facebook post from 2020, the Uvalde SWAT team trained specifically in area schools.

    The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread-1653583699040-capture-png

    “The Uvalde Police Dept. S.W.A.T. will be visiting the Uvalde CISD schools, Uvalde Classical Academy, and local businesses throughout the day,” said a Facebook post on Feb. 11, 2020. “The purpose of the visits is to familiarize themselves with layouts of our local schools and businesses. S.W.A.T members will be in full tactical uniforms and we did not want the public to be alarmed when seen. We appreciate the cooperations [sic] of all schools and businesses involved. We will continue working together to make Uvalde the safest place to live.”

    It’s unclear if the Uvalde SWAT team was present at Robb Elementary School when it was attacked by a gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers. According to an Associated Press report and social media footage, Uvalde police milled outside the school during the massacre, brandished tasers, and prevented parents from entering the school. Onlookers present shouted at the police to “Go in there! Go in there!” according to the AP report. At least one of the parents who begged police to go inside later found out his child was killed in the massacre.

    According to police reports and witness accounts, both of which are spotty, the gunman fought with a so-called school resource officer before entering the building and barricading himself in a classroom. He was in the school for around 40 minutes. The standoff ended when Customs and Border Patrol agents assembled at the scene, breached the classroom, and killed the gunman.

    It’s unclear where Uvalde’s SWAT team was during those 40 minutes or when the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) ended the shooter’s life.

    Uvalde’s chief of police and City Hall did not immediately respond to VICE’s request for comment.

    Certainly, there is no question of an equivalence between Septic society and a European one when it comes to reckless indifference to public safety.

    Only an utterly stupid society comprising morons so dumb as to be less sentient than a fucking tree would permit an 18 year old adolescent to walk into a gun store and buy two assault rifles and ammunition without meaningful restriction.

    AFAIK there is no European state permitting such idiocy but that cannot be said of the US.

    Americans are stupid and there it is.

    Were these the ones who were too afraid to go into the school for close to an hour?



    Nice uniforms and guns, though . . . they must be proud of themselves. A population of 16.000 . . . what a fucked up country

    And yet the Vietnamese kicked their butts.

    Americans are still at that formative stage whereby they consider all issues can be resolved by the use of force.

    Remember, it has only been in existence as an independent state for a mere 250 years, Europe's villages, towns and cities have houses older than that.

    They need more time in the bottle to mature.

    Another stupid comment from the master of such. What has European history proved where violence is concerned? and more specifically that Emerald Isle you like to align your ancestry to.

    And here we are in a 7 year old thread discussing guns in America again. Which will be followed by another spurt again.

    The only way to fix the problem is to dump the archaic 2nd amendment and replace it with sensible gun ownership laws that apply to all states. The odds of that happening are slim and none. Good luck.

    "An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification."

    Don't hold your breath America.

    Law made when the most sophisticated arms to be had were fkin muskets will stand forever.

    It is indeed. To Americans the Constitution is like the stone tablets Moses carried down from the mount. Can't make it easy for folks to fuck with it.

    Unfortunately true. A link cuz no walls from me and don't want to drive too far off topic.

    Americans know literally nothing about the Constitution - CNNPolitics

    In the case of the Constitution the Gent has a point.

    ^^Note: I was responding to an utterly idiotic post by tax regarding a Thai law related to the monarchy.

    It was deleted.

    Not all of us Americans. Most of us on the west coast and in the North East would like to see the Second Amendment chucked in the bin. It is the losers in the fly over states that keep that from happening. The senate is the real problem. Two senators for every state in the union. No matter how small and shithole they are.

    That's not exactly true. When it suits their purpose they are more than happy to ignore it.

    Why would I admit to something like that? But I will ask you this one...

    If you were forced to live under a Trump fascist state that dismantled democracy, would you sit back and take it? There are a lot of progressive Americans that are forced to take and own arms to defend against the slovenly masses that exist in the shithole Walmart states.

    What makes it worse is that the Republicans are exponentially better than the Democrats at gaming the system.

    When the constitution was framed, two Senate seats were given to each state.

    So an Alaskan senator represents 1-200,000 voters and Californian senator represents millions - and they both wield absolutely equal power in the Senate.

    Bit of a fucking joke if you ask me but it won't get changed any time soon.

    Also, the GOP has carefully cherry picked important states to throw money at and win state races (not federal ones). So they can fuck about with elections and make life difficult if not impossible for the Democrats to vote in those states. We are talking millions of voters, predominately minority groups who tend to vote Democrat, who are near enough denied the vote.

    Sooner or later civil unrest will return to America, and it will make the LA riots look like a pissed up scrap in a pub car park.

    How long has Trump been running the Walmart states? (I thought he had lost the election)
    Are you a “progressive American?”

    Tell us about your guns and how you have had to defend yourself.

    It has been illustrated many times that the majority of gun owners in the US own them for personal protection.

    Of course it hasn't occurred to the dimwitted wankers that the more guns you sell, the more people will want them for protection.

    Or rather it has, but c u n t s like Fox News perpetuate the fear nonsense with their fake stories about imaginary caravans and gangs of imaginary MS-whatevers roaming the landscape unhindered raping and killing anyone white.

    32% of US citizens own guns. 44% live in a household with a gun.

    Why do the remainder not need guns?

    Perhaps they wear Kevlar vests 24/7
