Massacre Again

In the latest political news from Uvalde -- the chief of the local school police force, the man who was responsible for the decision to let children bleed to death rather than risk a confrontation with one teenager armed with one gun, was recently elected to the Uvalde City Council (I must assume that he had a better reputation on election day). The Mayor of Uvalde initially announced that out of respect for the funerals being conducted in the city that the City Council meeting in which the new members were to be sworn in was canceled, then announced later that those new members, including the schools' police chief, were sworn in in private (or "secret", if you prefer) ceremonies.

Uvalde Mayor announces that City Council members have been sworn in. That includes CISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo.

The mayor said on Monday that the meeting would not take place as scheduled. Arredondo has been blamed for law enforcement's failure to engage the shooter at Robb.

I think recall is what they do to city council members. That is allowed in Texas depending on the city charter of the city in question. The Uvalde City Charter does not mention recall, but does have a "Removal" process in Article 2, Section 11 "by a majority vote of all councilmen elected".

I think a quiet resignation would be more appropriate, instead of dragging out the whole mess again in public hearings.

Or he could go full trumpy and “deny, deny, deny, then lie, while acting none of it ever happened” and guess what, lots of people will believe because they want to. I guess we will see if he has any character.

I'm not sure about the election demographics of Uvalde, but it seems the actions of the Mayor since the shooting might have lost him some support among the citizens there.
 
Since the school is a crime scene, I expect that 22 autopsies will be performed. I wonder if the results of those will ever be made publicc.
 
It seems the “pro-life” crowd is in support of killing as many as quickly as possible without any skill involved just carpet spray . . . but then again they also claim to be pro-religious freedom (only when it’s their religion), pro-America (only when America does things their way), pro-law and order (unless it’s someone they agree with under scrutiny) . . . the irony . . . the irony

I'm leaving at 5:55pm June 5th Husker. It's been my pleasure talking smack with you. One of the things I learned the most over all these years is that You and Grandpa Espola are sickos.

I was thinking the same thing. He weird 100% and I will leave this place with my head held up high. I dealt with little monster men and I had no idea the depth of how low some men will go on this planet.

Oh yeah, I forgot about how they are pro-big oil corporations (until those corporations raise prices to make up for lost profits due to Covid that was handled horribly on a national scale for at least the first year or so).

Sources....? You do know how to cite sources?
 
Let's take a little something from Italy that is not food related...

Anyone over 18 can own a gun in Italy, as long as they meet certain criteria.
They have to apply for a firearms license, take a firearms safety course at a gun range, and have no criminal record. Their physician has to sign a certificate affirming that the potential gun owner does not suffer from drug addiction or mental health issues.

Something to ponder...

An Irish guy I knew well told me about how it worked in Ireland (a good few years ago now, but I doubt they've become more lenient).
  1. He had to install a gun safe, this had to be bolted to concrete and have a secure lock.
  2. He had to make an appointment with the police to come around so that they could examine #1, and verify that it met the criteria.
  3. Having received permission from the visit in #2, he could now apply for a license to purchase a shotgun for hunting purposes.
  4. After a time (background checks etc.) he was approved and issued with a license.
  5. With the license, he could now go to a gun shop and purchase a gun.
As he was now a gun owner, the police have permission to visit any time to verify that it is securely locked away in the gun safe - if it isn't then the gun is confiscated, and the license revoked - zero chance of getting another license.
