He was outside firing for 12 minutes before going in? Why no police response then? When did the 911 call home in?

They can't admit they fucked up. It's he same reason my HR person at work yelled at me for seeing my own doctor and not theirs for a work-related injury. He fucked up by not telling me I needed to go to a worker's comp doc. Then he couldn't admit he fucked up so he took it out on me.

This happens all the fucking time. When do you ever see people say, "You know what? I should have done better"? Never. Nobody has the humility and decency to admit when they are wrong.



They fucked up. Massively. They were too cowardly to do their jobs. They were pissing their pants in fear rather than trying to save children's lives. They KNOW they fucked up. MASSIVELY. And they can't admit it. This is how liars dig themselves into deeper and deeper holes: by concocting story after story to try and cover their ass - ANYTHING rather than admit they screwed up.

It's a national pastime.

I heard an interview with shooters next door neighbor. His story was he heard shots and looked out to see shooter come out of house and put a duffel bag in the pickup and take off. The grandmother comes out of the house face covered with blood. He starts to help her and his wife calls 911 for EMS and police.

That was where the interview stopped. Could not find source. This would have been first 911 call.

Now supposedly he shot at people after crashing the truck near the school and a funeral home. They also called 911.

Was also an interview with a little boy who was in the room where shooting took place. He said shooter came in as said "it was time to die" to kids and the boy knew it was real when bullets started hitting the floor. He and some other kids were hiding under a table with a table cloth and were not seen by shooter so survived.

They know the police screwed up big time. And there will be massive lawsuits.

They have to make sure everyone shuts up as they work on their stories.
