If it's a conservative white male the discourse is "sad about mental health care and this is not an indicator of social ills"

If it's anyone else it's "this is exactly why we need to be crueler"

No no, the state is going to pass an unfunded mandate to harden schools and the districts will either have to raise taxes or cut more programs to pay for the upgrades.

Yeah Texas is underfunded as it as, at least for Teachers wages and benefits. There may be money allocated for it and watch it get spent on putting up a 'ball stadium instead.

quote:

A day after an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School with a gun he purchased legally, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said the focus should be on mental health, not gun control.

In an interview with Amy Robach on Good Morning America, McLaughlin called the shooter a “sick individual.”

“Everybody comes in and talks about immediately, ‘We want to do gun control. We want to sanction the gun lobbyist. We want to sanction this and want to sanction that,’” McLaughlin said. “But you know what? Why don’t you politicians get off your butts and let’s talk about mental health and let’s do something.”

Lol, I understand the need to know exactly what happened, including what law enforcement did and did not do but, it just distracts from the problem. They're going to come away blaming law enforcement and mental health and do nothing to prevent the next mass shooting.

Well, since their solution is going to be "more cops in school" it's very important to discredit the idea that school resource officers are effective deterrents to mass shootings.

Long, long ago I remember someone in D&D arguing that the Iraq was going to be fine because "as soon as we have self-repairing nano-armor" our troops couldn't be shot and so no Americans would die there. That tweet immediately brought that to mind.

Or better yet, trapping the shooter who intends to kill themself with a bunch of children who now have absolutely zero chance to escape while the police have to figure out how to get into the trap before the shooter kills all the children then themself. Like a rat.
