More dates had to be added to that list.

Because predators attack in packs.

And yes, he is lying his ass off.

I have seen some in Social Media sort of excusing the inaction of LEOs in Ubalde as a result of the Black Lives Matter and ACAB movements.

It is not an excuse or even an explanation.

I understand you do not want to ruin your career and life for a shoplifting incident that goes left rather than right. Or even responding to certain neighborhoods where you know no matter what, you will be accused of mistreating a criminal who just slashed the hell out of a woman.

But if you stand outside a school while a shooter is killing kids, do not do shit including disobeying orders not to intervene, your community is better off if you give up the tin and the roscoe and take a job somewhere else.

You are supposed to draw the line and say: “This is where it stops.” Not bring a moral eraser because politics castrated you.

It was the final game for the European Cup of soccer that year. It matched Liverpool of England versus Juventus of Italy. It was also the peak time of the Hooligan Era, the infamous British soccer fans known to express both their pleasure and displeasure for the game by using all the violence they could muster. And that they did on that day ending with the death of 39 people.

I was in Venezuela then, barely a couple of weeks after finishing my studies in the US and still living in the “That won’t happen to me” frame of mind. It took two mass gatherings I attended, one as spectator where somebody got shot by the cops in front of me and another working as assistant sound engineer where the crowd became very rowdy and almost destructive while we were in the middle of it, to finally make me realize that big crowds were not the safest animal walking the Earth and that it should be avoided at all costs.

Since then and with a very few exceptions, I refuse to attend any kind of gatherings with more than 50 people. Exceptions are the perhaps’ twice a year religious attendance and only if I am within feet of an exit. The other exception was and still is any organized shooting match as I have never found any other group of people that would not engage in mass stupid behavior like shooters. Mostly because we all pretty much share the same frame of mind.

“ZOMG! The Catholic Priests abusing kids!”
OK, now do the Southern Baptist Convention.

Nashville attorneys advised top Southern Baptist Convention officials to ignore reports of abuse and requests for reform in a decadeslong sexual abuse crisis, an explosive new report this week concluded.

The firm Guenther, Jordan & Price say their advice, valued by SBC officials for nearly 60 years, was ethical and in line with what their clients asked them to provide.

Oh yes, they even have a list of abusers spanning only 15 years but is 200 pages long.

I’ll post a link when they publish the article in the free side of the site.
