I can only imagine the rage and despair of the parents of the murdered kids who are reading this.

I was talking to someone recently about the problems plaguing this country. I said that among the most serious was the loss of courage, particularly among men. Cowardice is rampant in this country, as evidenced by the success of cancel culture, and by this story. Why would a highly trained officer hesitate to shoot an armed perp entering a grade school, particularly when the perp has already shot at the school? It can only be the fear of consequences. It can only be fear of the cancel culture mob in society, in the media and in the typical DA’s office. For our society to recover, men have to become men again. No real man would have hesitated to eliminate the threat.
Depending on which one it is, it’s because there were kids behind the shooter and he was aware that bodies don’t always stop bullets.
There’s also that several folks were mistaken for being the gunman, including the teacher who ran outside after the crash.
This is why disarming folks at schools and similar areas is so evil.
