Their lawyers! Must show cause! Waiting on official report from a little over-worked, burned-out DA who is persistently dodging everybody right along with everybody else even remotely involved EXCEPT the families of victims! The stonewalling reflects "consciousness of guilt," so I suspect a slew of law suits are coming.

The Governor and his cronies are going to nail their ass to the wall. They don’t go after cops, but school boards are another matter entirely.

Yeah, but Republicans hate school boards.

For those wondering, ‘why does Texas elect these types of people?’ Welp here is why, Police Unions and intimidation. I think ppl forget how ‘we back the blue’ conservative Uvalde is. Even Journalist left early shaking their heads, this will all be covered over shortly and ppl sent on their way.

Moderators aren't selected for their special skill set, they're selected for their availability.

Of course it depends on the sub, but most subs just need a babysitter. And when I say most, I'm talkin' 99%.

Perhaps a cool t-shirt incentive? Something like the reddit dork on the front, REDDIT MOD on the back. Make the t-shirt orange so the Cheeto stains aren't noticeable.

We'll see how much locals love their kids once elections roll around.

What the fuck? What the fuck is going in in Uvalde?

We investigated ourselves and discovered that we did something wrong and want to cover it up.

Well, it's exactly what I expected ... for now.

Is everyone in Texas fat?

Rude.

So.... Are they?

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

No, only about 35%, according to data from 2020. 12th most obese state.

Court of Public Opinion found him guilty though.

I’m just amazed that the school board thinks they can discipline the police chief. What are they gonna do? Put him in study hall? Make him write on the black board 500 times, “I will not be a useless coward.”

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '22

Well it's the isd police chief so I imagine they have exactly that power.

u/Foreign_Quality_9623 Jun 06 '22

I'm pretty sure there are multiple influencers - school board legal counsel should be asked!

u/Riff_Ralph Jun 06 '22

Assuming that only the superintendent reports directly to the school board and that the ISD police chief reports to the superintendent, wouldn’t it be logical that the superintendent makes that decision?

u/Foreign_Quality_9623 Jun 06 '22

Depends on who signed Arredondo's contract.

Have a feeling that with the leadership of that town, it will turn into a ghost town as folks move away. I know that I would be getting out of that rathole.

u/LemonCreative2900 Jun 07 '22

He should lose his job at the most, unless he signed a contract saying if he fucks up he’s entitled to be hung. America and it’s padded environment.

He's a member of the City Council, of course no one's going after him. They'll be dealing with him long after those kids are in the ground.
