Highland Park is hardly Chicago....or the Chicago people are trying to cite to make a political point here. Nonetheless...

As if this wasn't as f*cked up a situation as possible. Ugh.

Can we use this to negative recruit Cuckbo and Cutty Sark? Figured this thread could use a little tasteless gallows humor. It's kinda depressing otherwise.

They were saying part of the reason that he was bullied was because he was poor. The whole town is poor! He didn't seem to have a very unique circumstance.

Noticing a lot of narrative shifting here. All of a sudden those that used to scream "I back the Blue!!!" and "The Thin Blue Line is all that separates us from anarchy!!!" and "Blue Lives Matter!!!" are forgetting all those good times. All of a sudden inept police are part of the "government"...

The loudmouth clown at the end of the bar finally chimes in. Why didn't he do it after Parkland then? Is he saying the great State of Texas is going cheap on school safety?

It's debatable but to claim that every other study says otherwise and in massive form is kind of a wee little bit of overreach, bud.

But there's no pRoOf!! https://news.wttw.com/2021/03/31/northwestern-study-says-1994-2004-federal-assault-weapons-ban-worked

Apparently the one that first showed up and I believe killed the gunman was off-duty and just in the area getting a haircut.

As do the officials that immediately lied at the last press conference. If their best defense is ineptitude then public service in this realm ain't for them.

I absolutely agree in theory but I think in practice there are issues and there are even issues in the supposed perception the gunman has in how this works. I think it'd be exceedingly difficult to give the deserved and wanted attention to the victims of these events while completely ignoring...

Gotcha and I'll defer to you guys and the truck owners on this but I just thought those looked like the newer factory rims whereas a lot of the older models had more bulky versions like the second pic.

It was. And who knows the real details yet but that's a town with a per capita income of like $25k and a median income of barely over like $10k and a massive poverty rate. And the immediate photos involving the shooter involved a "newish" truck from his household and him holding a newer iPhone...

Those look like factory rims so I think the absolute oldest it could be would be around a 2016 model but this absolutely isn't my area of expertise. I just think if that's actually what he was driving as a teenager in a relatively lower income town that poverty probably wasn't as much a factor...

The truck he crashed wasn't super cheap as well. There was obviously some source of money at grandma's house. I'm not going down the conspiracy theory path of outside funding here at all but am just not fully buying what was probably a premature narrative involving poverty and his supposed bullying.

I mean he obviously had some issue with his grandma too so he could've easily stolen from her or just overdrafted a few bank accounts after getting a couple of introductory type credit cards in his own name too. I mean if you KNOW you're probably checking out of being a tenant on this planet...

They technically weren't doing nothing. Many were getting their own kids out.

They were boasting about such experience 2 years ago though. This SWAT team was either on vacation or just completely m-i-a. But they sure used whatever funding was given to do these exercises and such.

It's becoming harder and harder in certain instances in this country to differentiate between actual police leadership and police union spokesmen. The law enforcement "leadership" from levels even higher than just the local yokel department in Uvalde has seemingly had one mission publicly so...
