Reply to Nashville kids write notes to officers who ran into The Covenant School shooting by Due-Reading6335
I really appreciated that all of the ridiculous excuses about why they couldn't act at Uvalde also existed at Nashville but didn't slow them down at all. At Uvalde they said they only had 8 officers initially. They said they only had 2 rifles, they didn't have ballistic shields, the door was locked (it wasn't), and the shooter had a scary battle rifle, and they were concerned an officer might get shot.
At Nashville one officer shouts for 3 more officers to join him so he can make entry with only 4 guys. Only 1 has a rifle in his team. They obtain a master key, they come across some locked doors, but just keep moving around them, they don't wait for shields or more guys, they don't run away when they hear gunshots they run towards them. Some of them are visibly afraid, but they all decided to be brave and kept moving.

I wonder which political figure had the biggest hand in sowing so much doubt.

Meaning girls have parents talking with them about a month sooner giving them a leg up on vocabulary.

Parents talk with kids that are more talkative. Baby girls tend to be more talkative.

Reply to comment by Lotharofthepotatoppl in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset
The water coming from lake Winnebago does smell like a swamp. The tap water in Fond du Lac was vile.

Up in the atmosphere where it's about 1 BAR it's like 100F° (38C°) there's still sulfuric acid but you could survive with an chemical suit, breathing air, and a little climate control.

The terrible thing is even if the Uvalde officers walked in shot a kid and then the shooter and saved literally anyone in that classroom it still would have been better than what they failed to do.
