Edit: serious post so I don’t get bibislapped by Hekk- the general strike still went ahead today so it seems like people aren’t going to forget about this. Given the widespread opposition to this thing, it’s not like Bibi can do the usual dictator thing and turn the secret police on protest organizers.

He’s likely already hosed or he’s doubling down on his ability to ram this thing through and have his regime survive. Only time will tell.

Greg Abbott is a piece of human trash and deserves the hatred he gets. His legs not working are not what makes him a terrible person. Him cashing in on his legs not working and loving over everyone who got hurt after him is one of the reasons why he's a scum bag. This has nuance and I can't write well enough to articulate everything.

Focus your criticisms on the lovely things Abbott has done and not on his disability.

The one warning sign I've seen so far is an Instagram DM that wasn't read in time sent just before the shooting. Linking to the story instead of my usual tweetlink because it's super, super hosed up and some of y'all don't need to see that poo poo:

And in Donnieworldlaw news:

Yesterday the NY-DA grand jury met. Bragg brought in David Pecker from the National Enquirer who used to catch-and-kill the stories Donnie wanted him to. Probably a motive witness - that the poo poo really was about elections. There was zero warning to it, just "hey, Pecker is here!" from grand jury watchers.

There's a bunch of weird poo poo in Georgia, but the bottom line is that it's all waiting on the DA. You can probably ignore the poo poo about "new Georgia state law will create panel could terminate Willis as DA to help Trump" as the soonest that would even happen is mid-24.

And Pence officially has to testify to DOJ special counsel, per district court judge. Donnie got his executive privilege attempt killed, Biden DOJ isn't going to claim privilege, and the only thing Pence can stay quiet about is the stuff from January 6th when he was actually on the Congressional floor (the speech-and-debate clause stuff). Everything else is fair game and he has to respond to Jack Smith's subpoena to testify.

And am I remembering wrong, or does Pence loving loathe Donnie post J6 for nearly getting him killed? I don't expect his testimony to do any favors for Trump.

Patton said she called the Nashville Davidson County Sheriff's Office to make them aware of the situation and was instructed to call Nashville's non-emergency number. By then, MNPD says it was too late.

How is someone stating that they plan on dying a "non-emergency"?

I was ready to generally applaud the actions of the police in this situation based on what I had read/seen. Then this article shows up and crushes those thoughts.

Apparently a Shin Bet counterterrorism team was able to track down and arrest several armed right wing instigators intending to cause violence against the Israeli pro democracy protestors.

The friend who received the DM called a Suicide Prevention hotline first. Her 911 call and the start of the attack were almost simultaneous:

quote:

Just before 10 a.m. Monday, the shooter sent an ominous message to a childhood friend, the friend told CNN on Tuesday. In an Instagram message to Averianna Patton, a Nashville radio host, just before 10 a.m. Monday, the shooter said “I’m planning to die today” and that it would be on the news.

“One day this will make more sense,” Hale wrote. “I’ve left more than enough evidence behind. But something bad is about to happen.”

Patton told CNN’s Don Lemon she was the shooter’s childhood basketball teammate and “knew her well when we were kids” but hadn’t spoken in years and is unsure why she received the message. Disturbed by its content, she called a suicide prevention line and the Nashville Davidson County Sheriff’s Office at 10:13 a.m.

At that very minute, police in Nashville also got a 911 call of an active shooter inside Covenant School and rushed there.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/28/us/covenant-school-shooting-nashville-tennessee-tuesday/index.html

I'm not saying "yay all police good!" by any stretch because there's a lot that's in dire need of being fixed, but the "bodycam with a bunch of dudes running with rifles down hallways decorated with rainbows and happy bulletin boards with things made by kids, three of whom are now unable to live to double-digits, to mow down some asswipe in the process of shooting up a school" I just watched is nightmare fuel. Combine that with the fact that I've had semi-frequent dreams of being back in high school over the years, and that virtually all of those today now involve "run for your life" instead of "poo poo, I forgot my math homework", and I can't imagine living it.

regarding the Metro Nashville PD, you do not gotta hand it to them. Average cop type dudes just love violence and authority in general, they aren't getting a gold star from me because our society is so hosed that occasionally (too occasionally) there's someone even more violent that we need them taken out to minimize the harm to innocents. One point I've read made is this: Look how fast they release the bodycam when the violence looks good on them. If the cops are breaking a little old lady's arm or shooting an unarmed teenager in the back, the bodycam seems to need a year and a half of review, but on this sad event they can't send it over to the newsroom fast enough. Congrats to those individual officers for getting some I guess, but they did a necessary thing. They don't need to be lionized.
