This is what he is now publicly admitting to, which means whatever he actually did is far worse

    Other takeaways:

    • this pig is scared enough he now has a lawyer
    • his version of events don’t match up with anyone else
    • he is denying he ordered other pigs to stand down
    • he is denying he shot any children or teachers
    • the FBI has not closed ranks behind uvalde’s pigs and is actively talking to the press to debunk their excuses
    • there is surveillance footage of the shooting that journalists have gotten access to

        At the risk of doing generational politics, I think the fbi might be facing the same push that major newspapers have been getting from millenials getting levers of power and zoomers entering the workforce. I'm starting to think the 5 year long fear campaign over "wokeness" has been motivated by a genuine leftward lurch from workers even in traditionally conservative institutions.

        there's two things to keep in mind here:

        • this story has the potential to blow up waaaaaay worse than the floyd protests if the feds do not immediately make it clear that the pigs are gonna get roasted. from the perspective of the dem leadership, this is crucial for the midterms as well, as they will not be able to pass meaningful gun control laws. so they need this as a win. these hogs will be bacon before November.

        • may be cliché or tv brain, but i'm under the impression that a lot of :fedposting: look down on normal cops. it wouldn't surprise me that, all class solidarity aside, the dudes in langley view the dudes in uvalde as treat-stuffed mall ninjas. given that punishing the pigs is a matter of keeping the peace this summer and that FBI is one of the more dem-leaning agencies, i'd say there's no reason they'd interfere with plans to sacrifice uvalde police to pacify a restive public.

      I didn't look into the timeline of events until a few minutes ago. Wikipedia...

      Robb Elementary School shooting

      Timeline of events

      There were at least nine calls to 911 from classroom 112. What the fuck actually happened at that school? It's very convenient for the police that they shot the suspect dead. Because the shooting is so depressing and I assumed the police have been lying - I didn't know basic details about what the police said. For example...

      Ramos, who is in a closet, kicks open the door and starts shooting. The officers open fire and kill him.
