Parents beg cops to stop Texas school massacre
According to the new video obtained by The Washington Post, an angry man can be seen yelling at officers, “You know that they are kids right? They’re little kids, they don’t know how to defend themselves… 6-year-old kids in there, they don’t know how to defend themselves from a shooter!”
A frustrated mother too was seen yelling at officer saying, “We’re parents! Take him the **k out!” after the cop shoved a frustrated parent and told the gathered crowd to back up. Another parent can be seen getting irked over the situation. In the clip, he says, “all the parents are gonna go in,” while the same woman yells “f**k that, like our kids are there” as cops tell them to take cover. Another harrowing video showed more angry parents confronting officers saying that it had “already been about an hour and they still can’t get the kids all out.” “That’s f**king crazy, bro- they’re standing all outside [and] there’s f**king kids in there still, man”, says one person as one mom yells at an officer, “You’re scared of getting shot? I’ll go in without a vest- I will!”, as reported by the New York Post.
Texas school shooter Salvador Ramos' CHILLING final message
Hours before carrying out the massacre, the shooter sent a chilling message to an acquaintance on Instagram, saying, "I'm about to". Born in North Dakota, Ramos lived in Uvalde. He was a student at Uvalde High School before he found work at a Wendy's. Texas State Sen Roland Gutierrez reportedly said that the two assault rifles used in the massacre were bought by the shooter on his 18th birthday.
Under a new Texan law passed in September, people aged 18-21 could buy guns if they had a protective order for being at risk of family violence, stalking, prostitution or sex trafficking. Under the law, the requirement for a permit for a handgun was removed. Rifles were already permitted in Texas without the need for licenses.
