Texas State Senator Roland Gutierrez is left off the committee investing the shooting (click here). It is all about politics and Republican fear for being exposed as incompetent while practicing chronism. Basically they are worried about Quid Pro Quo when found covering up for the NRA and it's inappropriate influence on legislative decisions.
Where there are Republican majorities in any legislature there is corruption. It is provable.
The Robert's Court is a political entity and as corrupt as it gets. They are unable to make rational decisions about the law and it's impact on Americans. They are living in Cloud City and liking it there.
When law doesn't work for Americans people begin to believe in dictatorships such as Trump and hope something finally helps them. Revolution is not far away if this trend continues. We are already witnessing a huge belief in that government and "the system" is not working for Americans and people are taking the law into their own hands and killing each other or people that are an object of their frustrations.
Texas State Sen. Roland Gutierrez (click here) raised questions in a news conference on Thursday about whether information on 911 calls from inside Robb Elementary School was relayed properly to responders at the scene of the shooting.
Gutierrez said he spoke with the agency that regulates the 911 calls, the Commission on State Emergency Communications, and was told the 911 calls were handled by and relayed to the city's police force on the scene. However, what is unclear, is if that information was relayed to the school district police chief who was the incident commander on the scene.
"They were being communicated to a Uvalde police officer and the state agency that I have spoken to has not told me who that is," Gutierrez said....
...One warrant, signed Wednesday by Uvalde County District Court Judge Camille DuBose, allows law enforcement to perform a forensic download of Ramos' iPhone 13 Pro Max, which was found next to his body after he was fatally shot by police.
During the bloodbath, (click here) a negotiator tried to call the shooter, but he didn't respond, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told reporters Wednesday.
"They tried every number they could find that he was associated with," McLaughlin said.
Now, this city engulfed in grief is also tormented by shifting police narratives, unanswered questions and the horror of knowing 21 victims were trapped with a gunman for more than an hour -- despite repeated 911 calls for help from inside the classrooms....
The mental health program in Texas was cut and it was never deployed to assist the safety within minority communities who are most at risk for hate crimes.
Abbotts impeccible logic is "If someone is going to kill someone there is a mental health issue." If that is the case then why are murderers in prison and not a mental health facility. The facts are obvious, none of this works and all of it is nothing but a distraction for Republicans to deliver to the public.

“We as a state - we as a society - (click here) need to do a better job with mental health. Anybody who shoots somebody else has a mental health challenge. Period. We as a government need to find a way to target that mental health challenge and do something about it.”
Those are the words of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott just days after an 18-year-old high school student massacred 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
Abbott has doubled down on his stance that mass shootings are an issue of mental health and not gun access following the Uvalde massacre.
However, in April, Abbott slashed nearly $211 million from the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), which oversees mental health services in Texas....
It is time the truth needs to be told. The Republicans are endangering life in the USA to facilitate profits for their cronies. It needs to appear in offical reports as often as it applies and in bold print. It may be that the DOJ will need to prosecute those that cause these conditions to exist. We have proof that when assault weapons are banned for the USA the killing is reduced in large protions.
Enough is enough.
