I cannot imagine what the parents of those children must think and feel, hearing this. My God.

Pure hell for the parents CLINTON.
Especially the ones being held behind the line on that rotten day.
Pushed behind the line as their children are being shot to death.

God help them heal their shattered hearts.

Since when do police need a key to open a door? Why was that even entertained in their defence?

Peak cynicism?

Maybe ‘they’ wanted a school massacre for political diversionary purposes. “$6 gasoline? Six thousand indigent illegals in your neighborhood? Murder in the streets?? Look! Nineteen bloody shirts!”

As I write, cowardly Senate RINOs seem on the precipice of jeopardizing the November landslide with this gun garbage, complete-BS.

Best advice I’ve heard for police encountering a school shooter:
“All Gas, No Brakes.”

These cops(!?) appear to have been —all brakes, no gas.

Aside from God’s providence, the Second Amendment stands next in line as far as providing me any sense of optimism for the future. Government, at all levels, is failing.

Elizabeth-
Because the doors are designed to automatically lock when they’re closed, as an anti-shooter defense, and are also designed to not be able to be broken down quickly and easily. Which is important when someone has hostages.

I would like to see what video Director McCraw is basing his judgement that the door wasn’t locked on, since what he says would be consistent with the door being ajar rather than unlocked.

None of the stuff submitted is up on the website yet.

off topic
The staffing shortages are still a big problem in Northern Michigan.

The largest Hospital in the region is struggling to fill support staff to the point of closing down its cafeteria during the day, according to a dietitian aquantice, because they just don’t have enough help.

1,500 meals a day. 300 at each meal, plus cafeteria clientele on top of that.
Closing down the cafeteria for a few hours during the day helps them to try to bust through the stack of dishes that accumulate due to no one willing to fill support staff needs.

Government failings..
Supply line disruptions..
Diesel trucks waiting 20-30 hours for fuel..( another aquantice tells me. )
Meanwhile the Building It Back Better Camp is telling everyone how peachy the employment data is.

Sustainability in the rural regions could become life saving enterprises for the new farmer and a couple of their neighbors.

No. The sky isn’t falling.
The trust in media and government sure as heck is falling.

Requiring vaccination to work there, I’m guessing?

Des Moines’ eateries are reporting that folks are ordering like they did back in 2008, skipping the frills. Example they gave was that you’ll stop and order a donut, but not a coffee.

Good point Foxfier.
I believe that your right.
I’ll find out.

Gee, T Shaw did say “maybe” and admitted to “peak cynicism” prior to his comment, so, while most would disagree with his thinking, I for one, didn’t think it was ludicrous (laughable) Sadly, nothing the Government and its power structures do would shock me these days, when the agenda appears to be full speed ahead–this it the time.

When executing “no-knock” search warrants, cops seem to have no problem sending the door separating them and their suspect flying through space. What’s the difference here? There was not even an effort. The real difference: a real threat to those breaking down the door vs a chance to play
Wyatt Earp with no downside.

Yes Foxfier; The health system said it will fully comply with anticipated COVID-19 vaccination requirements for hospitals and health systems put forward by President Joe Biden

Ripple effects I suppose.

Household doors are seldom designed to be breach-resistant like that.
The ones that are, require breaching equipment– like the one they were waiting on.

The one I’m most familiar with — it’s not very, I’ve just seen some of the damage it dose to breaching-resistant doors– uses a shotgun shell to provide the oomph, and it can take a door of the hinges very neatly, without giving time for those inside to kill very many.

Philip-
🙁

Understandable why folks wouldn’t sign up; still sad, but understandable.

looking around for Elizabeth

So you know for a fact that door was automated. Ok. Which is why the police said they were looking for a key to open an automated door. Yeah ok.

Foxfier why was my comment put into moderation? Because I questioned your claim the doors were automated.

My name isn’t Elizabeth. It’s Ezabelle.

I had nothing to do with it; since the icon is different for your last two comments, I would guess that something like an extra character ended up in your email address, which would trigger some automated spam prevention systems. My using the wrong name was because I was walking Elizabeth through program setup at the time.

On the door, automated would be a different thing.
The statement that the door is supposed to automatically lock is from the guy saying that it was not locked– think locking like a fire exit, rather than the bolt lock you may have on your door.
Since he was using a prepared speech rather than showing evidence, I don’t know.

Went and looked, the first comment–the one that went missing, I presume?– has several characters deleted from the email address– the program probably thought you were trying to fake being yourself.

Ok never mind. Thanks for clarifying.

Yes the reasoning on the door doesn’t add up, and beyond the door being locked or not. The fact they are trying to cover up their incompetence just adds to the hurt and anger for the parents. I hope the parents get the truth in the end.
