Uvalde Is The West

Things fall apart. Children in danger from groomers who want to destroy their psyches and their bodies. Yet nobody does anything

They released video footage from inside the Uvalde school. The Austin newspaper that obtained the footage has edited out the sounds of children screaming. CNN comments:

Surveillance video of law enforcement’s response during the Uvalde school massacre reveals the clearest account yet of how officers waited outside an elementary classroom as the gunman continued firing, brutally killing 21 students and teachers on May 24.

The video, which was published by the Austin American-Statesman newspaper on Tuesday, shows responding officers approaching the door of the classroom within minutes of the shooter entering yet retreating after the gunman opened fire at them. After more than an hour — with the hallway growing more crowded with officers from different agencies — the doorway of the classroom was breached by law enforcement and the gunman was shot and killed.

Read the whole CNN report.

Look at all those heavily armed cops standing around while children are bleeding out. I am the kind of person who usually gives police officers the benefit of the doubt, but this is an atrocity without justification. I cannot understand it.

But then, I never understood why so many Catholic men — especially uncles, brothers, and cousins — stood by while pederast priests were molesting their sons. Why didn’t they beat the everliving hell out of those priests? Why aren’t bishops who permitted that, and covered up for priests, not having to live behind security bars, fearing the righteous anger of families? Clearly I have a harsher view of child protection than most. We had in that Uvalde school children being massacred, and yet, all those heavily armed police officers, big strong men, held back. Why? Can anybody satisfactorily explain it? I get being afraid. But there were children dying! You could hear them screaming.

Watching this, I felt that this is a metaphor for our country now, and our civilization. We can plainly see things falling apart, and children in danger from these damn groomers who want to destroy their psyches and their bodies — yet nobody does anything meaningful. The one politician in the West who takes strong action to keep this infection from his nation’s children, Viktor Orban, is widely denounced in Europe for it. Thankfully, some American GOP leaders, like Gov. Ron DeSantis, are pushing back — but it’s going to take crowds of angry moms and dads in the streets to hold these corrupt elites accountable, and force them back. As I mentioned here the other day, some states are moving to allow young teenagers to seek cross-sex hormones and the rest, without parental consent.

If we were not a demoralized country, there would be mass protests in the streets, and the politicians, school board members, activists, doctors, and others behind this evil would beat a hasty retreat. But we are not that country. Most of us sit in the hallway while evil people do unspeakable things to our children.

That insane Berkeley law professor chastised Sen. Hawley yesterday for asking her if by “birth-givers” (or whatever Orwellian term she used), she meant “women.” She said that by asking the question, he was driving transgender people to suicide. These powerful freaks are building a world in which we are not allowed to question them, about anything, ever. Only submit. The immigrants to the US fleeing communism understood years ago what this was all about. They explain it all in Live Not By Lies. I wish I had faith that Americans were going to fight this insanity, and drive it back to the margins. But when you can’t even get officers of the law in small-town Texas — Texas! — to risk their lives to save screaming children being massacred by a maniac, well, where does that leave us?
