I am posting the body cam video from two of the Nashville Metro Police officers who entered the Covenant Christian School to confront and kill an active shooter for the benefit of my international readers. I applaud the Nashville Chief of Police for releasing this video. It captures the urgency, the chaos and ultimately the professionalism of the officers. Most police do not spend a lot of time training for Close Quarter Battle and learning how to clear rooms of possible threats.
What a contrast with the goat rope of Uvalde, Texas, where police lingered in school hallways and did nothing to stop the murder of children until it was too late. The Nashville Police did not wait for the SWAT team to arrive (note, SWAT is the acronym for Special Weapons And Tactics). In this kind of situation adrenaline takes over and it is easy for even trained professionals to make mistakes, such as keeping a finger on a trigger and negligently discharging the firearm or inadvertently pointing the muzzle of their gun at one of their fellow officers.
When the Nashville Police trainers watch this I see some areas that they will work on with their personnel. For example, at the 3:22 mark you will see the officer carrying his rifle on the right side of his body. When he comes to a corner and needs to turn right he should have shifted the rifle to his left shoulder. Learning this technique allows him to minimize exposing his body to the threat.
Looks like the trainers also will want to spend some time teaching their officers how to go up stairs in a high threat situation. There are some better tactics to use that will minimize the chance that an officer ascending a flight of stairs could be ambushed from above. Let me reiterate, I am not Monday morning quarterbacking. These officers did a great job and I doubt most of them had any recent training in carrying out this kind of tactical assault.
I agree Larry, the officers in Nashville did an outstanding job. For over 20 years, since the tragedy in Breslin, police forces have known that the way to take down these type of terrorists is to get officers in the building as fast as possible. The response of the Nashville Police force is quite a contrast to the performance of law enforcement in Sandy Hook Connecticut, Broward County Florida and Uvalda Texas.
Sandy Hook was faked. Analise the numerous videos from helicopters and ground based cameras to see.
It used to be that NFL football games were played only on Sundays. Then Monday, guys would talk about what the quarterback, the leader of the team, should done. Thus, Monday morning quarterbacking.
Jep, the Sandy Hook story doesn’t maths up. Same with the Boston Marathon story.
You people–deniers of Sandy Hook and the Boston Marathon, where there were literally hundreds of eye-witnesses–are utterly insane.
here is an example of the kind of questions that come up even already in this event:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/RU6oZDtUlpy1/
punchline: the shooter changed shoes while walking down the hall?
obviously: could be a doctored video, etc. but to give you an example of what bothers folks.
OK Sherlock. I get it. I just want to know how a supposedly dead female victim from SH ends up at Uvalde. Crisis actors.
In a world full of lies, it is not insanity that makes people doubt. It is because they are rational.
“the shooter changed shoes while walking down the hall?”
That’s how you know that it’s still a female.
Insane and filled with hate for their own [allegedly] culture in favor of China.
These crazy idiots give Larry’s analysis a bad look. Maybe that is their mission.
If they’re being sincere, well, you don’t combat and extreme (i.e. neocons) by becoming extreme in the opposite direction (i.e. conspiracy theorists and haters)
Sheesh. Incredible.
The shoe looks different because in the first view, the crazy asshole wearing them had not yet been shot. In the final view, there is clearly blood that has run down the asshole’s leg onto the shoe.
Conspiracy theorists are among the stupidest class of people; probably mentally unstable too. It’s a little scary that they’re out there driving automobiles, working in financial fields, perhaps air traffic controllers.
Careful there. You too could end-up handing-over $1-billion dollars to the “good people” of Newtown, Connecticut. Just ask Alex Jones.
Ooh, they got your speech.
Tell it to the parents
I know: 1. A first responder at Sandy Hook (Vol fire) the bodies were there, 2. A Nurse at Danbury Hosp when little bodies started to be brought in, 3. Parents of survivors who consoled those who lost their children. Do not dare to say anything about the two principals who walked down the hall to confront the shooter – unarmed and died for their efforts. Are your balls big enough to do the same!!
My children went to that school (years earlier) and I was very well connected to the area. So anyone who says that it did not happen is full of sh*t to their ears and above that used toilet paper.
Larry, you have my email and can contact me for verification should you wish.
AS you were not there – you have a belief – and aparently buckets of emotion about what you beleive.
for those of us who were not there – which includes you – well, as in the case of the kennedy event – there are some questions…
and as in the case of that kennedy event it has been made “inappropriate” to ask questions. in my experience that aint a good sign.
perhaps the lack of transparency by governemnt in so many situations contributes to an atmosphere of distrust.
“Goose” says: “. . . I was very well connected to the area.”
Great. Just what we need, another anonymous source, another un-named expert. I haven’t heard anybody refer to themselves as “well connected.” No humility there in the face of great tragedy. Is that anything like being “well endowed?”
I love how all these so-called celebrities, like Jenna Hager Bush, who come out of the woodwork every time one of these shootings takes place. “I knew somebody!”
Bwahaha. One of the guys who calls me a crazy troll believes the most wacky conspiracy theories and, as usual, one that is totally insulting to the victims and their families. Can’t make this sh!t up. And LJ is ok with all this conspiracy nuttery. Well that about says it all.
No, I’m not okay with it. I allow some of the nuts to post so that the sane members of this forum can respond.
Ok. Fair enough. Thanks for The clarification, LJ.
I’ve noted that a lot of commenters here are into all kinds of loopy conspiracy theories. It gives the site – and your message – a bad look. But I get where you’re coming from now and appreciate your openness to dialogue and your reticence to sensor. Good on you.
While we’re talking, to be clear as to where I’m coming from, I agree that Russia is winning, just not as decisively as you think. Mistakes were made (o all sides) – and there is a possibility that the situation could reverse if Russia doesn’t escalate timely. I agree that the US is degenerating, but I don’t want it destroyed as many commenters here wish it to be. I just want the government returned to normal, by whatever means necessary and appropriate. I do not agree that the US has always been evil, as many commenters proclaim. I also think the US military is stronger than you do. That, however, doesn’t mean we can – or should – go throwing our weight around all over the globe.
I will never hate my country and I will never accept rule by China. I hope we can have a rapprochement with Russia some day.
Also, good on the LEOs that swiftly and bravely put an end to the Christian school shooting. Put all the transgender and similarly confused/mentally ill screw-ups in an asylum; not allow them on the streets.
Eric,
Communism, whether in its pure or corrupted forms, is a cancer upon China and the Chinese people. Globalism–particularly the ill-advised US-China economic alliance ’00-’08–fed that cancer by injecting wealth into it and empowered it to spread its work around the world. Using the wealth the US was instrumental in helping to create, the CCP seeks to undermine and destabilize our country through both licit and illicit means. I think you and I are in agreement here; we are in the minority in this comment section. It seems even Larry thinks we are nuts.
I hold this position because I examine the evidence to the best of my (limited) ability. I presume you hold your position for the same reason; likewise, Larry his.
“Conspiracy theory”. When the explanation doesn’t fit known facts and evidence, a rational examiner must reject it. When no explanation can be found to reconcile available facts and evidence, the examiner perforce must “multiply entities”, ie. seek hidden factors.
Having examined facts and evidence I reject the official explanations for Sandy Hook, Boston Marathon, Charlottesville, Las Vegas, for example. I don’t claim my examinations have been rigorous, but I found significant irregularities. I shan’t attempt to re-litigate them.
I usually disagree with grr, but I presume that he too arrives at his conclusions by examining facts and evidence.
False-flag operations. Finally, I don’t doubt that actors within the elitist establishment are willing to kill many, many people. The chemical attack in Syria was real, it’s only that the evidence doesn’t support the charge against the Syrian Government. The shootdown of the airliner over Ukraine was real, but again the evidence doesn’t support the charge against Russia. The massacre at Bucha was real, but the evidence doesn’t support the charge against Russia. And so on and so forth.
Nothing faked at Sandy Hook about the deaths; about the victims; about the kids and teachers who were murdered by Adam Lanza.
And 3 days later.
Now the Veterans Today are showing pictures of the alleged shooter walking into the School wearing Puma Sneakers, but wearing Vans sneakers while laying on the floor after being shot by the professionally acting Nashville Police. https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/04/todays-brief-christians-stand-down/
As usual nobody suspected this incident (like all the other school shootings) of being organized by US Deep state actors.
Two different cameras, different quality, different color resolution.
Focus on shoe structure, not photo colors.
The Vans shoe has a solid black toe cap that ends cleanly below the laces where the black is immediately truncated by a colored area. The Puma shoe has black from the toe to midway up the lace area until a curved white area begins.
The yellow colored area of the Vans shoe looks white in the poor-resolution security cam photo, but is clearly yellow in the higher resolution close up of the officer camera.
They are the same shoe.
Thor Odinson says “Focus on shoe structure not the color”.
The color scheme is what sets the 2 brands identifiable apart.
And you want people to disregard the most obvious trait of identification?
We have had terror attacks in all NATO nations since 9/11, and all of them have led to Fascist transgressions against Human rights and National constitutions, including several NATO wars of aggression.
As a person with a Nordic name, Odinson ought to know that we had terror acts in Nordic Nations as well.
The most sever being the Oslo Bombing and Utoya massacre in Norway, executed by the Neo-NAZI Commandant Breivik, during a stand down by the Norwegian Police and Military.
These attacks have led many Europeans to focus on NATO-stay-behind saboteur and terror cells as the culprits in regard to Train derailments, Infrastructure destruction, Terror attacks, Police stand down, etc.
Do you have Terror and Sabotage operations followed by Fascist transgression against civil rights and the constitution in America, as well?
What exactly is Monday Morning Quarterbacking, a phrase I keep seeing used in American, and only in American?
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Monday+morning+quarterbacking
Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda, but Didna!
It’s easy look it up
Thank you Larry for getting us focused on the business of safely stopping the threat and saluting the brave LEAs who put themselves in harms to save innocent people from threat
I hope you are engaged by LEA training agents around our country for training improvement
This is a clear example of why Performance Matters
Thank you
I have a friend, retired Delta, he’s the man when it comes to training.
Who was that sniper who got shot and killed by another troubled, loner, loser, disgruntled sniper buddy? Did I include all the “right” adjectives?
Oh, yeah. Chris Kyle.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/ChrisKyleMemorial.jpg/330px-ChrisKyleMemorial.jpg
“Simper Fifi.”
Sorry. I feel the devil inside.
Yeah, and I have friend who just happens to be black. And another friend who “just happens” to be Jewish. Your point?
In my book, Christians are non-violent persons… Why were these kids targetted?
They did nothing wrong..
They must be protected..
Respect for those who are risking their lives in such situation!
Genuine heroes!
I guess your book is not The BIble, nor any book about history of The Western World.
Help me!
Do you find in one of the Gospels a statement inciting someone to use violence to achieve their goals???
Looking forward for your answer!
Anyone can pretend to practice any religion.. Politicians will always use this kind of deception in order to get more votes!
You are right : I never read a book! Forgive me for my lack of education…
“Performance Matters” says “Performance Matters.” So, “Performance Matters” wants us all to know they matter S-O-O-O-O-O MUCH!
Don’t be an ass….
Absolutely awesome. Especially compared to how the cowardly cops responded to the Uvalde school shooting resulting in the Uvalde massacre.
Yeah, I hope the Uvalde Police chief with the earing is watching.
These guys did an amazing job. They did not hesitate at any point in the video. So many law enforcement officers are afraid to do their jobs and be sued or prosecuted due to public outcry. With all of the law enforcement criticism and outright hatred that’s been pushed by the Washington establishment the last few years, we’re lucky we still have any good officers left, who are willing to risk their lives for us.
Unfortunately, so many schools think its “traumatic” for the kids to have a school resource officer these days and don’t want them there. I worked worked closely with law enforcement as a civilian for a number of years and any officer that worked as a school resource officer at first hated the idea, but once they were there and got to know the kids they always loved it – and so did the kids.
I’m a grant writer now and I’ve just finished up writing appropriations requests and filing the paperwork for some local law enforcement agencies who received appropriations from the DOJ. Everybody is getting ballistic gear – helmets, vests, shields and training for active shooter situations. In all honesty, I’m shocked that federal grants will still purchase any equipment like this for non-federal departments.
This situation is just a heart-breaking tragedy. My prayers for the victims and their families. These officers won’t forget this anytime soon, either. Seeing children hurt, abused or killed was always the hardest thing to deal with for any of my friends in law enforcement.
It was not professionalism that saved the day for other innocents, but the bravery and values of the police officers. After Columbine I spoke to a SWAT trainer and asked him why the cops did not enter the high school. He said the cops have three priorities: 1) for the cop to go home safely; 2) for the good guys to go home safely; 3) to take alive the bad guys.
This is monstrous value system taught to police. It basically says that their lives are more important than massacred children. The cops are allowed any action to save themselves rather than the 12 teenagers killed at Columbine. The cops are allowed any action to save themselves instead of the 19 children at Ulvade.
Those Nashville cops immediately put their lives on the line for innocents.
And I just don’t blame the cops. There have been prosecutors who have tried to put murderous cops on trial. All the cop has to do is claim he feared for his life and any murderous (or cowardly) action is then justified by not guilty verdicts. Polite and cowered citizens have validated that value system that would put them and their kids last.
Those Nashville cops had courage and guts first and foremost.
I recall when our town’s police got a armored vehicle from US military returned from Iraq, the chief said exactly what you write-his number one priority was to get his brothers home safely in the event of a mass shooter event. It sounded weird that was first priority in that type of occurrence. I certainly don’t want police to get killed stupidly but their job is to take risk
others would not.
By “mass shooter event” he means protests against militarization of police.
Outstanding response. I love how they were urging each other on in a systematic manner, not all rushing into an ambush, but neither sitting around waiting for more children to get shot.
Was the shooter wearing sandals/crocs? Or sneakers? Very interesting that she chose a red baseball hat to wear.
Terrible tragedy, that could have been worse. Also, I notice that these particular police didn’t spray bullets, hitting everything but the shooter. Not police in solid blue cities.
Much respect to the Nashville officers, they did follow protocol, immediately locate the shooter and engage.
I watched a version of the video on youtube. It was a use of fire, against a person who demonstrated no intention of stopping their assault in a school, targeting children, their teachers and probably anybody else who was there. They went head on to engage that threat, with a minimum of body armor and armament to stop a slaughter of the innocent and defenseless. This is what the police are supposed to be doing. I tip my hat to those officers.
Any person who would plan to and then shoot innocent children deserves what this missed up bitch got, and worse.
First of all, the children and those who died rest in peace. Secondly kudos to these police officers who have the courage to perform their duties and put themselves in danger to prevent more innocents from being killed. Lastly, and this is the most important point, USA is a very sick country. More than 100 cases of mass shooting already in less than 100 days in 2023. Why? If I am allowed to express my view, a whole generation of Americans grew up divided amongst themselves while watching their leaders always choosing to inflict suffering on others that don’t agree with USA. So now this trans is upset with the Catholic school for not agreeing with her stance so she, like her national leaders, chose to inflict death and suffering on the most vulnerable innocents of those that does not agree with her. I’m just afraid there are many thousands more like this deranged person.
It is called the Boomarang Effect. The Death Cult sent overseas will always return home.
Come on. “Mass shootings?” Is this like changing the defintion of pandemic to one where nobody has to die. I’ve just checked the list, as per wkipedia. Yes, 100 so far this year (I didn’t actually count them) Then, I read what a “mass shooting” was.
EG. Feb 8th, Laurinburg – 4 injured in a drive-by shooting.
Mar 5th, Lake City – 4 injured in a shooting.
Feb 19, St Lois – 4 injured.
These types of incidents happen, frequently, in the UK but you do not hear of “mass shootings” in the UK on a regular basis.
This wouldn’t be more government propaganda, would it?
Small arms mortality in the US is incomparable to any other G10 country. The numbers are what they are. Homelessness and incarceration are also anomalous and more similar to impoverished countries. I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure drug deaths are very high per capita too. From there everyone draws their own conclusions, often sticking with pet theories which prevent solutions.
I tend to point my finger generally at wealth disparity. It feels like there is a poor and a rich country overlapped, but that doesn’t explain everything because the unusual statistics don’t just co-vary with income. There’s something weird about early childhood education since that is the biggest predictor of criminality in the research I believe.
Trying to make unpolarized opinions here.
As per Wikipedia: There is a lack of consensus on what constitutes a mass shooting. I consired it not to be about the number of victims (nor the shooter being overweight), but about the intention to shoot as many as possible, and the victims being (semi-)random. In regular shootings, you would shoot someone specific, like your ex-wife, or your neighbours, or your boss but not your co-workers.
Mass shooting is a terrorist attack without (secret) US government support.
Not a Catholic school. You may have seen that on our sloppy, careless, lying MSM, but it’s not true.
” I’m just afraid there are many thousands more like this deranged person.”
Oh, millions and millions. Just in our entrenched professional politicians who seemingly always get re-elected, and our censoring high-tech corporate oligarchs, and our Military Industrial Complex (MIC) endlessly advocating endless war and endless war-mongering.
Well said.
Blaming the “trans” is kind of preposterous, these mass shooters are all clearly mentally unstable individuals. And fuck my life if Murica aint plagued with such people. Looks like almost by design, mentally unstable and armed to the teeth.
How quickly and how many people start the mentally ill defence if it’s not a Muslim doing the killings. Though Muslims might actually have seen more of their relatives and countries devastated by those in Uniform and power and them suffering no consequences.
Ban TV news, hosts and Aby current affairs discussions fir 2 years. Most of the hate is spewed by these people.
Yes….there was marked difference in response from the majority of recent school shooting incidents…time is off the essence in situations like this…hard charging aggressive and rapid response…good coordination by the officer with body camera leading the general duty guys before SWAT arrived…a good compromise between speed and thoroughness in room clearing….this is a school shooting so the precedent is usually a lone mentally disturbed amateur targeting soft targets and these shooters usually take their own lives when confronted by professionals so the gambit paid off…they rapidly located and neutralized the threat. Another telling element was the fact that this mental case recced multiple targets before hand and opted out of other targets because of security measures in place. There will be other mentally unstable types doing this sort of thing as the left becomes increasingly radicalized in my opinion and this incident will be studied and tactics implemented widely.
“… from the majority of recent school shooting incidents …”
Good God, doesn’t this say something about the society in which it happens?
I still think school shootings are part of the plan and not part of the problem.
The irony here is that school shootings are an inside job. Don’t go to school and you won’t be shot. Don’t go to the movie theater and you won’t be shot. Don’t go to the gym and you won’t be shot. Don’t go driving your car and you won’t be shot. Don’t go to any quickie-mart for your favorite Slurpy and assortment of junk foods and you won’t be shot.
The message is don’t live and breathe and you won’t be shot. Strip away your culture and you won’t be shot. Now that’s regime change.
It is a sick, sick, sick society. It’s just that most would be killers target your critters, if you have any, or go after whoever they hate/envy in ways they can’t be caught or won’t end up in jail cuz “it’s a civil matter.”
8 years … don’t mind the Russian suffering , don’t resist to jab,
don’t mind what happens to the soul, … and you won’t be ostracised from the Voksgemeinschaft. 2.22.2014 in Kiew was the steath injéction of fascist psychic poison. It was the fascist ‘Machtergreifung’ about the western soul
Al US-vassals have been injected.
The rest of mankind is breathing fresh air due to the sacrifices of brothers, fathers, sons of Russia for the sake of post-violence reconciliation in a multipolar world.

Perhaps. But it says more about a small subset of society that over the years, has been empowered by identity politics to be needy and to act as victims. It is a group of citizens who instead of doing the “inner work” to amend or understand themselves, they are encouraged to embrace a mental or emotional abnormality, and then act out that abnormality as if it is normal behavior. At some point the mental and emotional burden of acting out, against their nature manifests itself into what are sometimes violent actions against themselves or others.
It has nothing to do with firearm ownership. The majority of the U.S. population are armed and responsible owners. More people die every year due to medical mistakes than die from firearms. I would like to see the liberal left go after the medical profession…but they do not.
Yes. ….I think it is safe to assume that we are currently living in very unbalanced times…. Brain damage in the form of autism is currently 1 in 30 children….50% percent of the population has mental disease according to CDC…everyone is jacked up on pharmaceuticals or recreational drugs…..4000% increase in children that identify as transgender….and then the mental disease of Liberalism and finally Shadow government forces that initiate a campaign of terror against the civilian population to keep them afraid and divided….by fermenting or directly conducting operations like this from time to time. Doomed
Not going to lie, I teared up watching this as you see these brave men executing their tactics in children’s classrooms in a church. There’s nothing more gutwrenching to me than to think that these monsters love to target the poor little ones, who shouldn’t have to ever wake up wondering if they might be murdered at school today. I hate that this is a regular feature of our rotten society these days.
It is immensely satisfying though to see the murderess with innocent blood on her hands dropped in an instant, the moment real men arrived at her location.
Yeah, well that’s all nicey-nice. But the trans cross-dressing grief counselors have been dispatched to the school to give aid, huggies, and lip-stick smeared kissies to the little kiddies, and read a book or two about “Leo the Trans Choo-Choo that Could. And Did.” If the kids weren’t traumatized before, they sure will be. Or not.
Is it true that they sent in trans cross-dressing grief counselors I know that America is a wee bit messed up but that sort of seems a bit beyond the beyond.
You asking “is it true,” means that the insanity is not that far-fetched. It’s the next degree of insanity. Somebody is going to double down, because that’s what American’s do. It’s right here. Right now. Some “sweet transvestite” is out there thinking the same thing, and asking its buddies: “You don’t suppose we should go to Nashville do you?”
Nah, the next degree of insanity is the people on TV and print making a victim out of the baby murderer. Not to worry, Day of Vengeance coming this Saturday, they’ve been advertising it. Trans+Antifa, should be loads of fun eh?
(they had advertised Days of Vengeance until somebody told them that Saturday was only one day…brilliant!)
Travestites in schools and people on TV and print making a victim out of the baby murderers are current degree of insanity. Those baby murdering victims are referred to as Ukrainians, and they need more guns, and fighter jets, and depleted uranium ammo, and money, more money. The Green Man needs one trillion dollars.
Bravo Zulu to those guys…
In FIBUA and building clearing during maneuvers/operations – as military, you have the advantage over cops knowing you are there to simply eliminate the targets – and often had recent or live intel… Can’t imagine the stress of rolling in on that scenario with local kids involved.
Yes they took some tactical risks (sight lines/arcs of cover) and made some heat of the moment ‘mistakes’ but so do(did) we all —- impressive active response/momentum and calm by the responding officers considering the scenario. I’d roll with those boys any day.
They would only be fatal errors if done against experienced shooters or soldiers. Almost all school shooters are people who have been picked on or who have failed at everything because they cant cope with stress. The instant they face imminent threats to their life, they become panicky and non functioning
This is what makes the Uvalde situation so sickening. The shooter reached a life crisis because he couldnt cope with any stress. So any shots fired in his general direction would have caused him to freak out
So, even without a shield, one officer kicks the door in and gets pulled back. Shooter reveals his position in room by shooting. Then while still protected by the wall, one officer fire off an entire clip in the direction of the kid. The kid will totally lose his shit. Next officer pops in and shoots the kid dead
I congratulate the police who eliminated that woman, and excuse me for speaking like that, that insane; I think you have to say things as they are.
Transsexuals are people who should go to the asylum. I live in Spain and I can tell you, because I have spoken with many police officers and all of them, but all of them barely have any training in the use of their weapons. Near my house, a Moroccan gang specialized in blowing up ATMs and that in Germany blow up an ATM every day, blew up (as I said before) an ATM near my house. Larry, you can’t imagine the cloud of bills that formed; The Moroccans took very little time to leave, 4 or 5 minutes and the police took about 20 minutes, in theory they should take 4 or 5 minutes, that’s what they say; you can’t imagine the crowd that rushed to collect the bills floating in the air, i think the moroccans used the mother of satan (hydrogen peroxide + acetone) when the police arrived, people had already cleaned everything, do you know what What did the police say when they arrived? that what the humble people did, collecting tickets because they were committing a crime; I live in a tough neighborhood in Madrid; people laughed at the police. The Spanish police and civil guard are deeply corrupt and fight to go to international customs and Mediterranean ports (drug trafficking) and the police do nothing about it out of pure fear and because they are paid at least 5000 euros, but to the honest people and Christians who pray and preach in the street are arrested and it is not 2 police officers who arrest them, it is the riot police who arrest honest people and there are up to 6 gorillas, at least, just for praying in front of the clinics abortionists. They are cowardly with criminals but arrogant with honest people. I am going to tell you something else, on the Mediterranean coast the Neapolitan camorra has settled, in that part of Spain, the camorra (they call it the camorra-Spain) bribes the customs agents, the stevedores and the civil guard; And I’m going to tell you something else: ALL but ALL the restaurants in Barcelona belong to the CAMORRA and the police are scared to death because do you know how much it costs to kill someone of low level, 25,000 euros? Imagine a policeman, well, much more and with that I tell you everything. The camorra has its hitmen and the journalist or the policeman who becomes stupid is assassinated. This was told to me in a conversation by an acquaintance of mine, a Basque journalist; and at the time, this acquaintance of mine was murdered for sticking his nose where he shouldn’t.
Excuse me Larry, I am very outraged with what is happening in Spain, I live in a tyrannical regime much worse than Franco, who was blessed by Pope John XXIII for making Christian laws. If you say that about Franco they take you to jail. (law of historical memory) excuse me if I’m annoying, but I needed to vent. I admire the courage of those brave police officers in your country because here, our police officers don’t have the balls that you have to have, they don’t have balls…
👏
Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed time I spent in Spain but was aware that it has its darker side and corruption. Lovely family oriented people though in general.
I hope it gets better.
You say the Spanish police are corrupt? You should’ve seen what it was like in your beloved Franco’s time amigo.
Muy triste, lo que nos cuentas. I studied in Madrid 50 years ago when Franco was in power. I have fond memories of those years.
Can we just get back to following the Bible in this country? I don’t know why people continued to be shocked by all of these filthy animals abusing, murdering, molesting, pimping, and kidnapping children. Read Roman’s chapter 1. The Bible says these people are “filled with ALL unrighteousness” and that they are “worthy of death”. The book of Jude says they are “brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed”. God gave us the Bible as a rule book for a good life, and good society. We need to follow His laws, not the Talmudic twisted interpretation of some insane rabbis.
Have you met priests and ministers much lately?
I can tell you from the work I used to do that a very large number are paedophiles, con-artists and perverts who are protected by Churches. Moved to Africa, Asia and South America with speed so no one figures out what they do they are involved in all kinds of shit. 99% of them. Then there are the CIA missionaries abroad working the natives.
The Church cannot be trusted. It is corrupt. Sorry. But it is.
Good people, irrespective of which God or no God belief are needed. The QUALITIES of individuals takes precedence over the bland labels applied to the masses. Good values not preachers are needed.
Where did the dude say anything about “Church”? A few thousand years ago a Jewish fellow went into tabernacles and upset the tables. This same fellow gave his great sermon on a mountain. When asked what is “church” he responds if 2 or 3 come in my name. So basically this Jewish fellow from Nazareth has been dealing with corrupt churches for quite some time. Some pretty good points and life lessons to be learned from ancient religious texts. Or you could just seek out some psychology major who quite frankly has stolen ideas from these ancient books and repackaged them and charged money. Religion isn’t perfect. Faith can be. More of it might go along way. Just saying.
Your God needs to show up first. When this God shows up, everything will get so much better! I am not holding my breath that this God will show up and save us all. Hell, He can’t even stop a school shooter in a Christian school.
It is called free will and humans have a choice to use it for good or for evil. At present, evil seems to win out. An armed population helps to reduce the failure of your God to appear and save us all.
“Can we just get back to following the Bible in this country?”
Whose particular interpretation of the Bible?
I just watched an interesting documentary on Netflix about the Waco tragedy and all of those people thought they were “following the Bible”.
You live in a country full of “Bible-following” nutcases of every stripe. And we are the most violent society in the history of the world. We make the Romans look like choir boys.
No, there’s something in the soul of this country that loves violence.
But i thought the blood of Jesus forgave all the sins?
Not a Christian here.
Here we go again, the spin doctors and pseudo psychologists, dissecting and parsing, explaining away the unexplainable and patting the poor little monster in the head… she couldn’t help herself, oh my…!
Living is not for the faint-hearted and life doesn’t cut a break to anybody, just because…!
We here on earth have a set of rules, written in stone, such as, for example, that if you are born with male genitalia, for better or for worse, you are a man and that if you bleed at set intervals and have babies, you are a woman, except if you live in the fantasyland called the US of A.
And so, she chose to vent her(his) anger, because life didn’t give her the space she needed? Tough break. She is now were she chose to be, period!
His loss of life is no loss to society. Good riddance!!
“… for the benefit of my international readers.”
Larry, to repeat some of my previous comments, I greatly respect your qualifications, experience and expertise in matters of (government) intelligence and international relations.
I’m one of your international (that is, not American) readers. Born & raised in a member state of the American Empire, imbued with American soft power: Hollywood, Dobie Gillis, Bugs Bunny, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Beach Boys, Sinatra, Miles, Ellington, Kerouac, Steinbeck, Tennessee Williams, The Apollo Project etc etc – it’s a long and illustrious list.
So, it actually pains me to say this: the rest of the world no longer cares about the USA’s slow-motion self-destruct. Sorry.
As they say in Central Asia: “the dogs bark, the caravan moves on.”
Best wishes.
I care. Because as long as the neocons are running the show, my country – the UK – is dragged into these adventures too. And the whole of Europe also. In fact, much of the wider world is negatively affected.
It is in all our interests to be concerned about what is happening in the US.
I may not have expressed myself clearly.
The US’s internal stuff is just that. That’s what I meant. Tragedies like (yet yet yet yet yet) another school shooting/mass murder are, bluntly (and I do not mean to be callous), of no importance to the folk in Paris or Kiev or Shanghai or Melbourne or Tokyo or Rio or …
US external influence is a different matter and clearly important to those in- and outside the Imperium both in terms of bilateral relations and general effect.
Hopefully that clarifies.
Grasshopper… Brits must come out from under the yoke of the City of London. This is satan’s HQ and Psycho Central. Free yourselves and free the world.
Dobbie Gillis!!! Got to be the worst theme music for a tv show ever. Yet Bob Denver, Tuesday Weld, Warren Beatty… pretty cool!
“Dobie, wants a gal who’s dreamy,
Dobie, wants a gal who’s creamy,
Dobie, wants a gal to call his own.
Is she blond, is she tall, is she dark, is she small, Is she any kinda dreamboat at all
No matter, he’s hers and hers alone.”

Hey! Tread softly for you tread on my childhood 🙂
Listened to the theme music just now … still sounds ok to me “just a few years later” 🙂
I can’t judge how high skilled they were (they did not look unskilled tho), but first guy Rex did appear pretty proffesional, focused and calm which is surely not easy in such situation.
This shooting was transphobic
Is that the same as transparent? Or like an amoeba?
It is sad to see that the situation of violence in your country is reaching this point. In any case, in a situation like this it was the best that could be done. Thank you for the stunning images. I don’t like violence, but I agree with everything you wrote in your text.
This whole deal is part of the plan. Failure has become so expensive. Run out of money and you might as well shoot yourself. Many do. So, why not take as many with you as humanly possible?
Say you’re a political party competing with another political party. Not really. It’s all one party. Still, you have to find a way to remain in power, to make yourself irreplaceable. So, you find someone who easily qualifies in any of the following areas — troubled, loner, a loser, a malcontent, disgruntled. You know. A patsy. Which turns out to be all of us.
Don’t say they are insane, because they are not, usually, just allude to it by association with all the politically correct adjectives. Groom them to carry out hideous crimes in the name of regime change. Begin at the local level, say a pre-school, maybe an elementary school, and if they are a really bad shot, a high school. Promise them their families will be well taken care of. I mean, look at the “good people” of Newtown, Connecticut. They just made themselves $1-billion dollars righter. Oops. I meant “richer.” Yeah. Richer.
What’s the difference between 8-million excess Biden votes, all these fraudulent elections, and all these “mass” shooters? Why, nothing at all it turns out. It’s all part of the plan. Otherwise, the entire world is howling at the moon. And surely, that can’t be the case.
I can’t wait until the dollar collapses. And all their promises mean nothing.
That’s when the real shootings start in earnest.
When I see school shootings I think “It’s all fear.”
https://youtu.be/EhoWj4gEpwU
Professional law enforcement saves lives. Bless those cops.
Those poor kids and teachers. Prayers for them and their families.
Every school needs to search visitors. Unfortunately. This is reality in America.
Trans or not. This was a drugged up (on steroids etc) mentally ill and disturbed person who did what too many Americans do when disturbed.
“Every school needs to search visitors. Unfortunately. This is reality in America.”
Ever hear of unreasonable searches? No? Ever hear of the Fourth Amendment?
What the Fourth Amendment Says:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
These oaths and affirmation are signed. You know who is pulling the crap. You can face your accuser.
“Every school needs to search visitors.”
Those guys making airports safe should take care of schools too.
I often wondered why not have a simple drawbolt inside every classroom door that only the teacher may open and the same for all entrance’s with a sign directing all visitors to the main entrance with a porch so that the person manning the door safe on the inside can ask from the inside for a vistor to open their coat or bag so he can see inside heavy long coats must be removed before entering.
And shoes. They have to remove shoes.
And belts. They have to remove their belts.

Six dead, during the search they found a building plan: what is known about the shooting at the Nashville school
28-year-old Audrey Hale, who identified herself as a man, fired at a parochial school in the American city of Nashville. The victims of her attack were three children and three adults. Hale’s motives have not yet been reported. It is known that she planned the crime in advance: a detailed plan of the school building was found in her house.
There was a shooting in the parish school of the American city of Nashville. It was arranged by a transgender – 28-year-old Audrey Hale.
According to the Nashville Police Department, Audrey Hale studied at this school many years ago. She arrived at the educational institution in her Honda Fit car. On CCTV cameras, you can see that she was armed with two semi-automatic assault rifles and a pistol.
It is noted that at least two of these weapons were acquired legally.
Six people became victims of Hale’s actions: three children aged nine, as well as the headmaster, his deputy and a security guard.
According to the police, the first emergency signal came to them at 10:13 local time, and after 14 minutes the police eliminated the threat. Two law enforcement officers mortally wounded Hale during a shootout on the second floor of the school.
After the incident, the police searched Hale’s home. Detailed plans for the school, two weapons, and other evidence were found there. This led to the conclusion that the crime was planned in advance.
According to the head of the Nashville Police Department, at the moment the motives that pushed Hale to the crime are unknown.
Along with this, it was revealed that Audrey Hale self-identified as male. In her social media accounts, Hale used “he/him” pronouns to refer to herself. During the attack, Hale was wearing camouflage pants, a black vest, and a red baseball cap.
The White House responded almost immediately to the incident. At the same time, Joe Biden, commenting on what happened, first made a joke about ice cream.
“My name is Joe Biden, I am the husband of Dr. Jill Biden, and I love chocolate chip ice cream. I went downstairs because ice cream was promised here. By the way, I have a fridge full of ice cream upstairs. Do you think I’m kidding? I’m not kidding,” the American leader said.
After that, the head of the White House still called on lawmakers to approve his ban on the sale of assault weapons in the country.
Meanwhile, a member of the House of Representatives of the US Congress, Marjorie Taylor Green, blamed Biden for what happened, reminding him that it was the law on gun-free schools in the United States developed by the former senator that made children defenseless against armed violence. According to her, children and school workers should be armed.
“Joe Biden and the Democrats should give up the protection of the Secret Service and put themselves on the same level as defenseless, innocent, precious children in school,” she stressed.
“There are a lot of angry people in the USA”
The problem of violence with the use of weapons is traditional for America, said Americanist political scientist Malek Dudakov. At the same time, he added that in recent years the crime rate in the United States has increased, including due to events related to the BLM protest movement.
“It is likely that this incident of violence is related to the confrontation around the issue of transgender people, especially since many states, including Tennessee, where the mass shooting happened, began to impose restrictions, for example, on gender reassignment programs for minors. I admit that such incidents will continue to occur, given that a very strong transgender lobby has formed in America and a lot of angry people who are ready to take up arms and try in this way to fight what they consider to be infringement of their rights by certain individuals. states,” the interlocutor of RT explained.
As Yury Rogulev, director of the Franklin Roosevelt Foundation for the Study of the United States at Moscow State University, noted in a conversation with RT, quite serious processes of destabilization are taking place in the United States, including the deterioration of the situation of the population, the destabilization of society, and political disagreements.

Yesterday a Christian school in Nashville, today the target of demonic hatemongers is a huge Orthodox monastery near Kiev. The monks have been ordered to leave before 23.59 hours, but they don’t intend to. Neither do the believers who have come in huge numbers. https://www.kp.ru/daily/27484/4740415/
Last day: Hundreds of believers gathered in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra to protect their shrines
Hundreds of believers gathered in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra on the day of the eviction of the monks
What is happening in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra on March 29, 2023
Hundreds of Orthodox believers gathered today, March 29, 2023, on the territory of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. The moment of truth has arrived, “Day X”. Today, until 23:59, the monks of the canonical UOC (Ukrainian Orthodox Church) must leave the walls of the Lavra and its territory, as this is prescribed to them by the Ukrainian authorities. And, although it is stated that the parishioners came to pray, it is clear to everyone that in fact they are here to protect the shrines and their faith. After all, to disperse, at least until none of them is going to.
The monks have already declared that they do not intend to move out. Metropolitan Pavel, rector of the Lavra, said that the so-called “termination of the lease agreement”, which is being trumped up on Bankova, is completely illegal and representatives of the UOC do not intend to recognize it. Several hierarchs of the UOC went on a hunger strike “for the Lavra”. Actions in support of the UOC took place in Georgia, Serbia and a number of other countries. But all this, as is completely clear, will not stop Zelensky and his minions. Moreover, the schismatics from the HCU / OCU have already announced that they are going to take over not only the Kiev-Pechersk, but also the Pochaev Lavra, about which they have already sent a letter to the President of Ukraine in the form of a decision of the Synod of the HCU that they organized on the territory complex of the Pochaev Lavra its religious organization.
Bullying of the monks of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra
Against the background of this confrontation, which should end in the near future, the activity of the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, a former veterinarian-lawyer and ex-criminal authority Oleksiy Danilov, who at one time was awarded not the most authoritative nickname in that environment, is completely cynical.
– As for church things, we do not interfere there, but I want to note that the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra (he says so – ed.) is a museum that belongs to the state, and everything related to this museum complex will be decided by the state, and not some individual people who for some reason decided that they would decide how to defame our laws. We will not allow anyone to denigrate our laws,” Myachik said and declared Zelensky and the current government no more, no less, but God. – I want to remind you that if you say that everything that happens in the world is the hand of God, then consider that it is the hand of God that does what is happening there today. You don’t argue with God, do you? So, God decided that on the 29th they should leave this monastery.
At the same time, Danilov even promised not to use force to evict monks and other clergy.
– No one is going to pull anyone out by the legs or use any kind of violence, everything will be worked out in accordance with the current legislation. And there will be a state institution called our museum complex Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Will churches work? Yes, they will. Will there be worship? Yes, they will. But according to the laws of our country, and not with those artificial formations that were outside the law of our country at one time in large numbers here were created for certain events, ”Danilov said with inimitable impudence and repeated again. – Again, we will not remove anyone from there by force. But they won’t be there. Dot.
The ministers of the last church of the canonical UOC that remained in Ivano-Frankivsk, which was taken away from them literally the day before, could tell a lot about how “they won’t seize it by force”, using not only brute physical force, but also tear gas. And in the Ternopil region, the Nazi bastards simply burned an Orthodox church, not forgetting to plunder the decoration of the church and icons. By the way, in Kyiv they are now indignant that the monks of the Lavra removed many icons and handed them over to the parishioners for safekeeping. According to Danilov, this should probably also be regarded as the “hand of God.” What will all this caudle squeal when this “hand” finally reaches them?
Although some believers will surely leave the walls of the Kiev Lavra after dark, it is hardly worth expecting active actions in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra today before the expiration of the deadline indicated in the ultimatum.
A well deserved salute to the Nashville Police Department and these officers. Instead of wetting their pants like the Uvalde Police did, they “manned” up and took care of the situation.
Outstanding!
Some great lessons learned (or should be). Lets start with professional police response from beginning to end. Those who wish to blame red versus blue politics are distracting from the good job done by the local police. Nashville is a VERY blue city, but doing their job didn’t depend on politics. The police chief set some standards that police departments everywhere need to copy. They didn’t fall behind the curve in the use of social media. Less than 24 hours in and they released actual body cam footage. Too many departments hide behind the truth. I’m guessing today that those cops don’t see themselves as heroes. They did what they believed was the right thing to do to serve and protect. There are lots of cops out there that want to do the right thing. They need the training and the support of a department culture that recognizes this.
Not having a google/youtube account, I am not able to watch this. Any chance of a bitchute version?
You don’t need an account . Go on chrome or any browser type in YouTube. You will get the desktop version of YouTube.
Once on the YouTube page search for Nashville shooting bodycam. Infact you can do a direct search in any browser for the above video
Why are schools in the US not equipped with metal detectors, secured entrances and this kind of stuff?
I know that _some_ schools are.
AI based security cameras can spot strangers, guns, camo gear etc.
Unfortunately the cost effective ones come from China.
They will be mandatory after this, and probably strip search of kids (by travestites probably).
The main thing in those situations is speed. Mostly you’re going to be dealing with untrained individuals. Generally they’re not even shooters. They are just people who decided to buy some guns a few weeks or months before. Interesting that she had an AR and chose not to use it. Instead in all the videos she was using a Keltec SUB 2000 which one can assume was in 9mm. She probably didn’t like the muzzle blast from the much higher pressure .556 round. I don’t believe the pistol she had was even loaded.
One of these days someone who can actually shoot is going to do one of those things and it will be bad.
No tear gas, no flashbang.
Overkill finale.
Tragic violence that repeats only to often.
That is the issue with firearms.
The gun slinger, has the ability to overescalate violence be squizing on the trigger.
A true superpower.
Minimum effort, maximum damage.
And the only applicable solution is … more of the same.
May God have mercy on our souls, cause we have none for each other.
Policemen carrying rifles is a symptom of sick society.
A militarized police force is a symptom of a sick government.
The police are there to protect (and serve) the people. The military is there to protect the government. People have forgotten, because the line has been blurred. Maybe even erased.
You’re an idiot. The military is not to protect the government. Where do you people come up with this crap? Low grade Youtube subscriptions? Get a life. Go out into the world and actually do something with your life. Come back in 20 years wen you’ve earned the right to form your opinion based on real life experience. No one serious wants your regurgitated YouTube fantasies
Someone put drugs in your heroin.
I just went to a dance in Nashville days before this happened, so this was sad. I do admire the police reaction. It was quick and to the point, like they said in the cavalry: ‘ride to the sound of the guns.’ No waiting for SWAT, which I think is a useless formation. From what I’ve seen, SWAT rolls in, stands around, and waits. And wait… I feel they are there to intimidate us, not do anything useful.
I liked it when a teacher told a policeman where the door was open, and he said ‘yes, ma’am.’
Now, is this staged? Miles Mathis notes this is all theater, and says this is done to take our minds off Covid, the loss of civil liberties, and prepare a right wing regime which will promise to deal with things, but simply keep the top in power. Like Tom Luongo recently said, “distrust but verify.”
To me, the most remarkable thing about Nashville is Biden coming onstage, joking ‘I am Joe Biden. I am Jill Biden’s husband,’ talking how he has a refrigerator full of ice cream (like Nancy Pelosi…is ice cream an upper class thing?), and says some creepy things about kids. He simply is out of it, I know, but this is what the system wants running us. As Beat Me Daddy says, we no longer earn the world’s respect. It is an insult this senile, dirty, sleazy clown is in power, and I think the deep state put him in on purpose just to shake it in our faces. And to show the presidency has no real power.
What’s wrong with the Dobie Gillis song? It’s pretty good. A perfect expression of the teenage male mind. The show was taken from the book by Max Shulman, which is very funny showing adolescent pretensions. I liked the show, and it was considered very upbeat, trying to show teenagers as they really are, and was pretty witty. “You’re…Dopie Gillis?” “Dobie…with a ‘b’.” It still holds up.
But will America? Beat Me Daddy, we need to fall apart and start all over. There are changes in America every seventy years, and we’re due for one. America could come back a decent, honorable regional power. You need local people in power. Washing the culture. If America falls, then Europe will be free to renew itself…and cleanse itself of the corruption that Oscar has noted. Spain is a great country, as is Germany, as are they all, and they need to become Europe again. (I remember in LIFE in the fifties, it was noted where in Spain two Guardia Civil stopped to question some gypsies, and they overpowered them and slit their throats. When word of this got out, the Guardia tracked down the gypsies, rounded them up and machine gunned them. That was Franco’s Spain) Note that in Ukraine, they are banning Christianity in churches that keep speaking Russian.
Again, we talk of Nashville, but need to keep focusing on what’s really happening.
We’re simply arguing with the insane, the sleazy, the destroyers. I think of
Brunel’s film Viviadiana (?), a Spanish film where a misguided acolyte lets the poor and mad take over a farm, they become haughty and menace her, then the farmer comes back with men and chase these folk out. He’s partly communist, but the point is that a wrong philosophy is destructive, in this case unleashed altruism. A very philosophical film. The killing of this nut in Nashville is an example of what must be cleansed. Do I advocate violence? I advocate civilization, as all of us on this site do.
Imagine if we had a government that cared about kids instead of foreign wars. For a fraction of the money sent to be laundered in Ukraine, federal grants could have provided enough money for every school in America to have metal doors. With metal doors, this idiot would not have been able to enter and that would have been that.
You care about the kids that are evecuated from warzone to safety of Russia. Those that saved them are now wanted war criminals, because they took away rights of those kids to be shot.
A new pronoun for the deranged shooter should be placed on the headstone and it should read, “Good Riddance.”
Any suggestion for the kids graves ?
These policemen did a great job…
I’m assuming they don’t do this regularly in real life situation so the adrenaline must’ve been off the scale easy to forget make mistake.
Larry, after the Army and Air Traffic I was a police officer in Tulsa. Both the PD and the Sheriff’s Office. Uvalde was a personal insult to me, and stain on law enforcement. We are far from perfect, but I have rarely seen fucking cowardice. School shootings are the easiest training in the police spectrum. Run toward the gunfire. Today you earn your fucking pay.
These gentlemen did a lot to earn our respect back. That is about as textbook as you can get. Since there was no active gunfire for a while, they had to clear some rooms. But a school shooting is not “clearing”. Safely clearing a room can take a buttload of time. You enter fast and move. And then move on.
And my extreme respect goes to the guy driving the operation. You could hear him. “Move, move!” That was a NCO. That was a warrior.
And the obsession with equipment is already starting. Since the officer said LPVO “forward”? There is a rush toward these optics. A man with a set of balls and a 357 revolver could also have handled this. It is ALWAYS the man, and not the equipment. Of course, always take a rifle. A pistol is defensive. A rifle is offensive. Especially with the proliferation of body armor.
Yeah. I’m not normally a yell at the TV kind of guy, but Uvalde had me doing exactly that.
Cops are well protected from liability in TN, that culture creates great cops like these. Not so in Chicago, Portland or other blue cities defunding and micro-managing cops with liability threats and unbending rules. These threats and rules cause fetal cops. All cops CAN be as good as these guys, but the culture must allow it. Too many cities are failing their police intentionally by creating woke culture in a job that really has no room for such foolishness. In Chicago a cop can’t chase an offender is one example,
All police in America are local. You have everything from a NYC cop to the sheriff of a one-horse town. There is no uniform standard of training or of weeding out those who really aren’t suited for the job. This is a job, after all, where the officer is effectively licensed to kill. They are also subject to being killed.
I don’t think there are many people who are really capable of being a good cop. I can’t think of a tougher job. You have to deal with every rotten situation and scumbag criminal element there is, yet somehow keep it from turning you into a basket case. You may have to make a split second life or death decision, then be second guessed by everyone. You may be tempted by bribes or busting a criminal who is in a house full of cash stuffed into the walls and under the mattress. How many of us could resist stuffing some of that ill-gotten loot into our pockets? Who’s gonna stop us? Hey, after all, we make a crappy salary and everyone hates us…
I think we should have a system of police training that is uniform throughout the country. That training should be high quality and ongoing. And I think we need to pay anyone who does this job a high salary – more than a doctor or dentist, who certainly aren’t risking their own lives. And then let them retire after ten years of this shit with a golden pension and a ticker tape parade.
There are a lot of violent scumbags out there. I want my family protected from them and I’m willing to pay those that are trained and qualified to keep them away from decent folks. We spend trillion$ on “defense”. This should be at the very top of that budget. Otherwise, what are we defending?
VERY old military advice, “Go toward the sounds of the guns!”
How about the Broward Cowards!
3 children and 3 adults were killed in the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee. Also 6 girls including a 1 year old were killed in a horrific car crash on a Tennessee highway. Guess which tragedy will receive the most news and media coverage? This is America.
The murder of the 3 kids and adults at the Church School WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. Do you understand the difference between an accident and a purposeful act?
Nashville PD, you guys rock!!!! Truly sorry for all the victims and their family/friends, losing a loved one to such senseless violence is very difficult…..
I wish these PD around the country would emphasize more budget on high tech drones and sound trackers to assists the officers and enabling a safer war zone during such stressful moments in their careers. I recalled plenty of waste on mini armored tanks/etc over a decade ago.
Yes, the change to the new narrative is obvious: shooter of the day was a woman-identify-as-male, so it seems that transpolicy and feminism slowely come to their close. The cops got some nice words for good behavior this time, and were really in need of them to regain some trust. Pseudo liberal democrats are going to be replaced by a republican presidency, and the bipartisan show to enrich Richie Rich and his Trust Foundation can go on. The tax fraud can go on.
Enemies abroad were set up, so no need to get rid of Pentagon or Intelligence or reduce military spending. The show can go on. But in my opinion Russian and Chinese societies work better. The first has the better weapons, the second builds the better infrastucture, the people trust their governments, have higher education and work for mutual benefit and free enterprise.
I am not surprised about the shooting. But all these shows repeat themselves, and people begin to see the bait. There will come the day when they simply laugh it off, and ask themselves whether the show is worth the taxes they have to pay while they see the same fraudulent script used over and over again and get tired of watching it. Where are social security, health care, traffic security, free education and the benefits of a benevolent society of cooperation? Where did private real estate property went? Why is so much income spent on rent? Is the show worth its costs? Can Netflix replace a family? I don’t think so, and I think the show is over. No one but the bots believe it any longer, and the bots have to be paid. If society gets dumber and dumber, who is going to build a living future? With whom you want to trade? Who will produce your goods? Metaverse food will not nurish, and if the money lost its worth and there is nothing to buy, what will all these angry, hungry, disappointed people do?
Who is going to drive your Uber when you want get a drink at Musso’s but the place was burnt down and the waitress died on fentanyl? There is more in need to fix your self inflicted problems than try to act the same show over and over again. Look at the comments. They might one day booh you off the stage. I see a bad moon rising for the USA. But why not? Russia and China had to get through some muddy waters too, and came up a way better form of society and economy than before. All you need is the courage to fix your problems. Camouflaging it will not help, that is for sure. So you have to change your system or everything will only get worse. The time is now, I’ld suggest.
Well I’ll give you my perspective as an international reader.
The first thing I notice is that all the cops look overweight. They confront and shot the girl and all that’s well but she is in the ground already wounded, surrounded and don’t looking that responsive and one of the cops finish her with more three or four shots. And we can all be cynical and say she’s better this way, but that’s just excessive and unnecessary force — I don’t want to judge cops that risk they lives in a situation like this, but I just don’t agree with the actions of that last cop (probably a hero…). In the end that’s all insane violence that as you know sometimes goes towards innocent people more often than not.
Add that the fact that a trans nut job can buy all the guns she want, that’s unbelievable. Your country is disintegrating in more than one way, everybody can see that. It’s on track for another year with more than 40.000 gun deaths. That’s a war, the Americans don’t need to go to China or whatever..
In the same day some Afghan with a knife killed two woman in my country and wounded a third person, a teacher, I think. The cops shot him in one leg.
As long as the perpetrator is still moving and there is a weapon within arm’s length, the perpetrator represents a deadly threat. The perp was ordered to stop moving and didn’t. So she got shot three more times.
A shot to the leg rarely, if ever, assures that the bad guy has ceased to be a threat. You have not even a clue as to what you’re talking about. Just another armchair critic looking for something angle to use to criticize America, which you hate because you have a six year old’s understanding of the world.
Whatever you say man.
Hate is just a word I don’t use and Americans use and abuse left and right.
At least a six years old can understand that maybe it’s advisable not to sell guns to every nut job that comes into the store.
And regarding the cops, I don’t agree with you. Over and over again there’s problems. If you feel proud with the numbers related with violence in your country, power to you.
The American way is just fine for me, just keep it in America.
Hey Larry, I think you’re a total fucking asshole for your ongoing attacks on transgendered people.
I mean what a total reactionary fucking asshole you are. One might be inclined, by reading your hate consumed shitty little blog, that the entire world’s problems are the fault of trannies, drag queens and drag kings!
What is it about transgendered people, an ultra minority, that gets your little pink knickers in a bunch you uppity shitbag? When is the last time you saw a transgendered person Larry? That’s right: you can’t remember. They amount to less than 1% of the world’s total population and mostly keep to themselves for safety reasons, but right wing fucking assholes like you or that other fucking asshole Andrei Martyanov can’t shut the fuck up about what a huge problem crossdressers or transexuals are!
You’re the worst of the worst you stupid fucking CIA bigot. You would do well to learn how to live and let live, transgendered people are not bothering or harming anybody. Assholes like you are much more of a problem for society in general.
