Split-Second Veracity

Free people question their government, especially when it goes armed in their name. Sycophants and serviles don’t. https://t.co/UvFSljP20P

48 hours ago I might have been somewhat in sympathy with the Senator’s remarks.

Since then we know, from DPS,  that Uvalde PD stood in the school hallways doing nothing and not letting anyone else act. We know that children called 911 from the school for 40 minutes pleading for help. We know that Border Patrol finally said “Fuck it!” and attacked the killer.

And I know it’s the latest GOP talking point, but delaying all actions for nearly an hour is hardly making “split-second decisions.”

In fact, this is what happened, Senator:

"Split-second decisions,” my ass.

So fuck you, Senator. You, too , don’t want to talk about the real problem. The blood of the dead in Uvalde is on your hands.
