Police officer husband of slain Uvalde teacher detained, disarmed after he tried to save his wife
Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw on Tuesday told state lawmakers the police response to the massacre at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas on May 24 was an “abject failure.”
McCraw also revealed the husband of slain elementary teacher Eva Mireles, identified as Uvalde CISD Police Officer Ruben Ruiz, tried to save her but officers in the school prevented him from doing so.
McCraw said the teacher called her husband shortly after the gunman attacked her classroom and told him “she had been shot and was dying.”
“(Ruiz) tried to move forward into the hallway,” McCraw said. “He was detained and they took his gun away from him and escorted him off the scene.”
An armed officer gets a call from his wife that she was shot, bleeding, and in the room with the shooter.
The officer tried to go in and was escorted away by fellow officers.
His wife died.
Three things come to mind.
This feels like the opening to a cop goes rogue against his corrupt department revenge action movie.
This stinks of corruption. Why did his fellow officers stop him. This looks sketchy as fuck.
I don’t know this officer but I know myself, and if my wife was in a room with a gunman and I had a rifle, I would go into that room and kill that motherfucker and everyone who got in my way of going into that room.
In a move that surprises nobody, democrat lawmakers in California are unable to understand the difference between margins and gross/net.
If somebody is making a 3% margin this means that for every $100 dollars of purchases they will net $3. The price of a good is normally set by evaluating the cost of the good plus the cost of services and facilities to deliver it.
Again, our nice $100 item. The cost of the good is how much was paid for that item. I.e. the person selling it bought 10 for $500 setting the base cost at $50/unit. There is the cost of shipping. The cost of the store itself (taxes, rent/mortgage). The cost of utilities to keep the lights and heat on. The cost of the communications and marketing. Cost of upkeep on the building and warehouses. Cost of equipment. And then the big one, labor costs.
Labor includes paying for every person that is employed. This includes everybody from the guy that cleans the floor to the CEO trying to keep his business afloat. And that adds up.
So with a 3% margin, the cost of the good is $50 + $47 leaving $3 in profit.
That profit goes to everybody that owns a part of the company and to all improvements to the company, research, development and so forth.
The problem that has happened is that the cost of the good has gone up. It is no longer $50, it is $125. Expenses have gone up, it is no longer $47, it is $80. The total cost of the goods is now $205. The company still wants its 3% so the price of the good is set at $211.
Now we have the math. Our company is sill making a 3% net on that good, but instead of taking in $3 they are taking in $6.
Multiply this by thousands of sales and the net is way up. Even though the margin has stayed the same.
With California drivers paying more than $6 for a gallon of gas and state officials deadlocked for months over how to provide relief, lawmakers in the state Assembly on Monday announced they would investigate oil companies they say are “abusing a historic situation to suck profits from Californians’ wallets.”

There is no ability to look at root causes. For a democrat every problem is always greed and somebody else. They have no sense of responsibility.
Some things we know:
The Uvalde School Police were inside the school within minutes of the shooter going into the classroom.
They were ordered to treat an active shooter like a barricaded suspect and hung around in a hallway for over an hour supposedly waiting for a key or SWAT. The story keeps changing.
A Uvalde police officer whose wife was shot tried to go in an rescue her but his fellow officers stopped him.
Parents tried to go in and they were stopped.
Eventually, some independent BORTAC officers did their job in defiance of Uvalde School Police.
Uvalde School Police Chief Pete Arredondo ditched his radio after giving bad orders to hang back.
Texas DPS called this an “abject failure.”
We know Pete Arredondo is a huge Beto supporter.
The Uvalde shooting is what finally motivated Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn to support gun control legislation in the Senate.
The Biden Administration is failing at everything and has the worst rating of any president in history. Any Republican who hitches his wagon to Biden now is finished.
This failure also has given the Left the talking point that “good guys with guns can’t stop mass shootings.”
So…
I’m curious…
Was the response to the school shooting deliberately bad to maximize casualties to move the needle on gun control?
Not to say the whole shooting was staged, I don’t think it was.
But when Uvalde Police had the chance to do the right thing the chief had them fumble on purpose for political ends.
Just noticing things out loud…
Two elderly Jesuit priests have been killed inside a church after a man pursued by gunmen apparently sought refuge in a remote mountainous area of northern Mexico.
Javier Campos Morales, 79, and Joaquín César Mora Salazar, 80, were killed on Monday inside the church in Cerocahui, Chihuahua.
…A statement from the Roman Catholic Society of Jesus in Mexico demanded justice and the return of the men’s bodies. It said gunmen had taken them from the church. The Chihuahua state prosecutor’s office had not commented.
“Acts like these are not isolated,” the statement said. “The Tarahumara mountains, like many other regions of the country, face conditions of violence and abandonment that have not been reversed. Every day men and women are arbitrarily deprived of life, as our murdered brothers were today.”
Two Jesuit priests and man seeking sanctuary killed in Mexican church
Will the killers go to Hell? Most certainly in my opinion. But that is not helpful for those who wish the stay alive and unhurt. I found a photo of the church in question:
Old school Catholic church. As sanctuary it sucks. But as a defensive position? Lots of proper cover all inside and out.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has made ending the rising tide of gun violence a top priority. He describes it as “the civil rights battle of our lifetime” and explains that guns are “destroying the anatomy of our cities and our communities.” The mayor has met with President Joe Biden, appointed a “gun violence prevention czar,” issued a 15-page Blueprint to End Gun Violence and targeted guns on New York City streets.
— NYC Mayor Adams wants to end gun violence — will the Supreme Court prevent him?
And at the same time:
And yet, New York is tied with Massachusetts for the second-lowest rate of gun-related deaths in the nation at 3.7 deaths per 100,000 people, a statistic that includes suicides, homicides, accidents, and people shot to death by police officers. Only Hawaii’s rate is lower.
— Why New York has such a low rate of gun death
As I stated in Polling shows the courts are suppose to make rulings based on the law. The foundation of our laws is our Constitution. If a law violates our Constitution it is unconstitutional making it null and void.
Regardless of that, the media, politicians, and gun rights infringers continue to scream and shout about why their infringements should be allowed.
“It is the will of the people!” Then try to repeal the second amendment and find out that you can’t take a right away from the people.
“It will save the lives of people!” Well that’s well and good, but there are studies that show the opposite of what they are claiming. As well as looking at more than just people killed with firearms.
One of the statistics quotes is how much safer England is with no guns. The quote is number of people killed by guns. Yet ask Madana what happens when the criminal element doesn’t fear the subjects of the crown. Robberies are much more common in England than in the US. Burglaries are taking things from a building, robberies are taking things from people.
While New York might be tied for second lowest gun deaths that doesn’t mean that NYC (1 in 172) is as safe as downtown Henderson, NV (1 in 460). Violent crime isn’t limited to murder by firearm. Violent crime is murder, rape, robbery and assault. Neighborhood Scout
The mayor of NYC thinks that he can pass just one more, or one dozen more, or one hundred more laws that will stop criminals from being criminals.
It just isn’t going to work. Criminals just got to Criminal.
