This cracked me up.

Did anything happen to the recent attempted Galleria shooter? I read he was charged with a misdemeanor and that's it.

I read the report last night.
Some of this is a little skewed.
SOME of it.

For the most part, the report places the majority of blame on the police response, specifically the lack of leadership (cisd chief coward), AND every cop who arrived who failed to have the balls/ovaries needed to say WTF and take command.

Secondary in severity, was the school admin/faculty for not maintaining the culture and conditions outlined in their own standards and shooter plan.

Lastly
The friends/family and system that allowed so many red flags of the kid himself to go Unnoticed and/or unacted upon. From the poor grades and attendance, to the social withdrawal (probably) caused by bullying, to the terroristic threats and violent acts committed often there towards the last 2 years.
To wit: his personal circle of both irl friends and acquaintances and internet ones, quickly identified the problems, and gave him the moniker of "school shooter". So the signs were all there. It's just nobody acted upon it.

Coincidentally the issue of having someone that young being able to obtain an assault rifle was NEVER in question to being a problem either. How weird..........

Maybe the blow to the head was worse than I thought.

Edit: I was talking about the time a tree fell on him and took his legs, and then in return paved the way for his path to governor and curse of texas.


And, I guess I was talking about Abbott. Lol.

Considering this is performative bullshit from a politician clearly pandering to his base? Absolutely not.

Also notice that he has two basically identical looking ARs which is hilarious with such a modular firearm, but also why the gently caress doesn't that expensive rear end one he's pointing at his foot with the long floating handguard not have a loving optic at all on it? This is good ol boy cosplay, lol.

Seriously, unless the case is "this is the really cheap rear end $400 PSA rifle that I got ages ago, this other one is the bougie rear end fancy $1400 rifle, and I just haven't gotten rid of the cheap one yet/I keep it chambered in .22lr for shits and giggles" then there is like, no reason to own more than one AR-15.

Just swap out the upper or whatever stupid farkles you threw on the handguard you dumb shits they're very rapidly modular weapons and you don't need god drat 5 of them.
