But they are closing that location (school) and redistributing the children throughout the other campuses - so why would they need a principal for Robb anyway? JMHO

I didn't take it that way. He knows he is in a position that "can't be retaliated against" because he has tenure at the college. He could possibly take some heat though. He's been there long enough to see some things first hand. What I took from it was that the majority of working class...

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> ... this happened in a small town. One that reported zero murders in 2021 - which tells you that LE in that town are not used to confronting violent felons. Response time is critical in any emergency situation - every second counts. The majority of these...

No, its not "burnout". And this is JMHO I believe he shimmied his way up the ladder in his "career". They say "its not what you know but who you know (I use a different word but can't say it on here ;) ). He kept his head down, did what he needed to do to get by, and "buddied" his way...

OMG The press conference as a whole was just "eeehh". I do realize that they were only tasked with putting out the verifiable facts. There were a couple of questions about PA but those last 2 minutes. That woman was hot and the room seemed to agree with her. They want PA's head on a stick...

I'm going to pull things from the report that are new to me (us) - that I haven't seen before. I'll do it in sections - according to the report section. First- the background of the shooter. 4 | T HE A TTACKER The FBI interviewed a former girlfriend of the attacker who believed one of A.R.’s...

Here's one: "SIR! Mr. PA if you can hear me - please turn yourself in to the nearest police station for insubordination, gross negligence, dereliction of duty, and willful breech of policy (that you wrote!)" I still can't get over this fact - that he called this guy on the phone. That is...
