Re: Uvalde School Shooting
You are correct. My misunderstanding that Reagan started it. He contributed to the problem but the movement began back in the 1950’s.Baldy wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 9:41 amYou claimed Reagan was "largely responsible for deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill both as governor and President". I posted a well researched, documented, in-depth, and seemingly unbiased article stating that the doors to the insane asylums were opened long before he was either Governor or President.kalm wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 7:33 am
Yes really. What part of my post regarding Reagan’s actions is “completely wrong”? It ain’t exactly a secret.
I’m honestly interested in the rest of the story and deeper history of mental health administration you alluded to. I can admit to inaccuracies. But I’m not going to do a deeper dive on your assertions alone.
Your choice.

Re: Uvalde School Shooting
You are correct in stating God is the ultimate arbiter, but then present a false dilemma by saying Christians assign redemption as well. The two are not the same.kalm wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 8:36 amIt sounds like it.

If what you are saying about God and man's assignment of redemption are the same, then every person who accepted Jesus and passed away deserves a memorial.
While Christians are to reserve judgement and leave that to Jesus, we also live in the physical world and have to interact with the Floyd's of the world.

My eyes say its you thats full of shit.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 11:07 pmMy point is you’re full of shit implying tbat a .223/5.56 has more penetrating power than a .308. Plenty of info on the interwebs that says the opposite.houndawg wrote: ↑Thu May 26, 2022 8:26 pm
What is your point? I do know that a 150 grain .308 Winchester fired from a Savage Model 99 didn't penetrate a telephone pole
The kinetic energy imparted by any round is one half the quantity of its mass multiplied by the square of its velocity. The .223 is a very fast round and packs a wallop.

Re: Uvalde School Shooting
Students who were in the classroom with the gunman called 911 several times, including a lengthy call during which some shooting and other sounds of the attack could be heard, according to Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Mr. McCraw described the calls this way at a news conference Friday:
A caller identified — I will not say her name, but she was in room 112 — called 911 at 12:03. The duration of the call, was 1 minute and 23 seconds. She identified herself and whispered she’s in room 112.
At 12:10, she called back, in room 112, advised there are multiple dead.
At 12:13, again, she called on the phone.
Again at 12:16, she’s called back and said there was eight to nine students alive.
At 12:19, a 911 call was made, and another person in room 111 called. I will not say her name. She hung up when another student told her to hang up.
At 12:21, you could hear over the 911 call that three shots were fired.
At 12:36, a 911 call, it lasted for 21 seconds. The initial caller called back. The student-child called back, and was told to stay on the line and be very quiet. She told 911 that he shot the door.
At approximately 12:43 and 12:47, she asked 911 to please send the police now.
At 12:46, she said she not could not—— that she could hear the police next door.
At 12:50, shots are fired, they can be heard over the 911 call.
At 12:51, it’s very loud, and sounds like officers are moving children out of the room. At that time, the first child that called was outside before the call cuts off.
