Just say the kids were aborted. Dems would probably then stand up and cheer

I'm going to hold off on further commentary for now, but I really feel for the folks who's lives are turned upside down by these murders.   =(   I hope that the families impacted by this event are able to get the support they need to work thorough this and pick up the shattered pieces of their lives.

Supposedly, the perp was angry about not graduating high school, and shot his grandmother before going to the elementary school.

Don't think the dems are going to let this one go and will push control bills while emotions are high

I fully expect a 94 on steroids bill to be introduced within the next day or two

They introduce that every year.  Remains to be seen if it gets some traction this session.

There are photos that suggest the scumbag was LGBTQ and a tranny.  The photos appear to come from his facebook/instagram account. Nothing confirmed yet.

Different person, at least according to Reddit:

Some pictures floating around that appear to be the shooter flying a trans flag.  Who know if they’re right or not at this point.  But if the shooter was LGBTWTFBBQ they’ll memory hole this by tomorrow morning.

I'm not seeing any more mention of the "grandmother". False info?

Oh and 1 POS found on the floor

I don't pay much attention to the NRA these days, but just saw that the annual meeting is this weekend in Houston. I'm guessing protests.

Okay, grandmother mentioned again but for some reason some accounts keep leaving her out of the death toll. I guess the MSM is laser focus on the school.
Plus they say he crashed a vehicle while fleeing the first scene and he then ran into the school. Photo of the pickup at the link. Whether or not he originally intended on doing what he did at the school is still an open question. It appears all the school dead where in the one room where he barricaded himself.

Up in this neck of the woods, all the school districts have all exterior doors locked from the outside, and you can only enter after buzzing at the front entrance.  I am less than pleased that for the past couple of years as my wife has taught 5th grade remotely, she sits in a portable with three other teachers, and the door to the portable is not locked.  Anyone can walk in at any time.

Some more info on the shooter. He cut up his own face "for fun". Also supposedly dirt poor but had a vehicle and money for two not low end ARs.

I've seen some stories say he was being chased after shooting his grandmother other saying he wasn't.
If he wasn't being chased why was was he apparently driving in the concrete ditch?

According to this he was wearing a plate carrier but no actual armor.
Doubt that makes any different to the MSM and pols though

It is always a bit amazing to me to see people who really think that some new legislation would have stopped a crime.  Especially when none of them know how the kid acquired the guns or whether he would have passed a background check (probably would). 

I heard on the radio that the kid bought the two rifles, apparently legally with a NICS check.  That would mean that new bill wouldn't have accomplished anything accept more bureaucracy.
