    well I'm not even sure profiling would work you would have to know who to profile in the first place.

    The only way to stop something like this is to be vigilant at the school there's some other things that would minimize death. The first and foremost is not building a classroom with only one way out let's imagine some other scenario a fire or structural failure of those kids would just be trapped in that classroom to die.

    I remember when I was in school I went to a rather modern school it was built in there early eighties fire code required that there be more than one door.

    Also the way you would stop this kind of thing without profiling is have people at the school willing to drop the hammer when they see someone walking in there with an AR-15.

    From what I read the police were hesitant to fire and I understand you didn't want to kill anybody maybe they should find a little more seasoned police or hire a crew strictly for schools.
    Believe it or not we still use components of profiling if we didn't no crime would ever be solved again.

    Did you see who rob the liquor store yeah it was a 40 year old man kind of plump books Hispanic driving a white car. People freak out about this because maybe they're a 40 year old club Hispanic man driving a white car and they get pulled over and questioned. That's called the police work

    But I think you were talking more about psychological profiling if I'm not mistaken

    The Uvalde shooter complied with all laws and went through a background check.

    Here you have 18-year-old Salvador Ramos. Sometimes you have to wonder if he was copycatting that other one that did the shooting in Buffalo.

    Well same way it works anywhere else. You start by eliminating people without a possibility of mental illness. Than among what's left you sort out the ones with mood disorders, personally disorders and focus on them. It's a process I don't thing is logical depth school children.
    With whom? Do you think firearms purchases are monitored. Do you remember what happens last time the ATF intervened in gun purchases?

    I wonder why the police weren't trying to rescue all the children. I would take a bullet for someone else's kid

    Another dumb incoherent statement from Bush Lawyer.

    I'm hoping that these reports that the police rescued their own kids while children of others were being killed, rather than actively engaging the shooter, are wrong.

    pretending that saving a life means doing whatever thing you want, including arresting legal gun owners, is blatantly stupid.
    My guns are no threat to kids, no more than your car. No children are being sacrificed, stop being so dramatic.
    How many kids will get diabetes because of forks? That’s how you sound.

    I have a radical suggestion: instead of blaming the NRA, racism (heard that one yesterday), the Republicans, mental illness, bullying, Adderall, or the gun manufacturers, why not ascribe some responsibility to the shooter?

    Does us no good now that he is dead.

    And prior to purchasing his LEGAL guns, he exhibited no signs that set off red flags that would allow people to step in.

    This type of situation is growing in frequency.

    So, what would you recommend we do in that situation?

    If there was a link between diabetes and forks, I'd ban forks, no problem.

    It is proven that getting rid of guns saves lives. Beyond any doubt.

    We get it. You’re paranoid. Ban everything scary. No, nothing of the kind is proven that’s just silliness.

    what other scary things should we ban? Since pretty much everything can kill you, and getting rid of them saves lives, what’s left?

    Because they were afraid.

    The two teachers also tried to protect the children.

    They both died and could do nothing else.

    I will be the first one to crucify those officers if they did indeed show cowardice here.
    For those not in law enforcement or the military who have responded to things like this, you should really not make a single suggestion at all.

    These are still government employees and they don’t really do **** without a plan. They may have been told to stage up and wait for a supervisor, had poor communication between agencies, there’s no telling what each person on the ground knew about the whole problem.

    when they rush in, they catch **** for not letting cool heads prevail. When they hold up and wait for back up, which happens ALL THE TIME when serving dangerous warrants go wrong, they’re “cowards” for not knowing what some loon will definitely do.

    there will be people who have never done anything like this in their lives but know exactly how a professional should act. You wanna know why no one wants that job anymore? No matter what you do some idiots with zero education on the matter will crucify you in the media, and you can’t get a job.

    I don't have to be emotional to refute an argument that has absolutely has no merit either in a practical sense or a logical sense. You think that private security is better than the actual police that were there and to simply dismiss the cost factor is absurd.

    I congratulate you, you found another way to avoid blaming the over availability of guns in mass shooting.

    Only to those with an irrational fear of guns.

    You cannot demonstrate this to be true.
