3 Powerful Minutes Worth Watching:
- Tommy Christopher relays another stunning change in the fluid narrative surrounding the Uvalde school massacre of little kids.
We had been told the commander on the scene thought all the kids that were going to be killed had already been killed. So there was no point in putting police in danger by going in. So they waited. And waited. Not knowing kids were being hunted down and killed while they waited and waited.
Then we were told that details about desperate 911 calls still coming from the still living little kids still under fire had been instantly relayed to police still waiting on the scene. Yikes.
Now we find the guy in charge never knew about the 911 calls because he didn’t have his police radio with him.

- M. Bouffant at Web of Evil laments a tragic shooting of a mother and her children. If only, he says, if only there had been a strong male presence to protect them.
- Yet another day, yet another random innocent murdered. Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson is unimpressed with Republican responses to most any tragedy:
If the GOP reaction to this shooting is anything like their COVID response, they'll just dismiss it because she was already old and probably didn't have long to live.

And the US Senate looks for compromise with a search for a middle way on gun safety.
So The Onion goes along, examining the pros and cons of letting children die.
- driftglass not only hates as must we all reflexive both-sides-are-the-same, but despises perpetual doomsayers Why even try? We are all inevitably going to lose!.
- When it comes to gun violence, Dave Columbo is unimpressed with opposition to gun safety in general, Texas law enforcement specifically, and Uvalde police most directly:
@davecolumbo Repost with visual adjustments because banning visual representations of pew pews is about all we can hope for #democrats #democrat #politics #politicalsatire ♬ original sound – Dave Columbo - CalicoJack in The Psy of Life reviews scientific studies, and there are many many many, on the effects of gun safety regulations that all have similar findings. Then he examines the largely unexamined: four common characteristics of those who ignore the science.
