Today I cant find one single positive thing to say about Meghan. Not even one. by u/RoohsMama

Today, I can’t find one single positive thing to say about Meghan. Not even one. When I was a baby SMM member I wrote a post asking everyone to say one positive thing about Meghan. I do this mental exercise just to “clear the decks” and make sure I only have good vibes. (One can imagine how downvoted my post was but people did manage to find at least one positive thing to say.)Today, I can’t think of any. Since that early post, Meghan has done so many unthinkable things. She mocked the late Queen in their Netflix documentary. She let her squaddies attack Catherine when the Princess of Wales was struggling with cancer. These people accused William of beating her to death because she cheated on him with another relative (who committed suicide for unrelated reasons) and so he could marry Rose HanburyShe traveled to other countries (Colombia, Nigeria) on quasi royal tours and had them foot the billThere is further confirmation that she bullied staff after the Hollywood Reporter article Even other celebrities (such as Oprah) are staying clear of her, and those who defended her have gone silent She claims to protect her children’s privacy but uses other people’s kids as PR props. The Uvalde stunt was just horrifying She still hasn’t communicated with her father Her association with charities is purely self-serving, such as the one with the Parents Network Her business ventures are shoddily done. Archewell’s paperwork is delinquent. She launched American Riviera Orchard complete with logo and webpage but it’s now stuck at the patent office There are shady dealings at their foundation with millions still unaccounted for They lied about being chased in NYC just so they can pretend to be like Diana and to regain British taxpayer-provided security She continues to use the race card to victimise herself and divides people rather than unites them She’s tweaked herself so much that it does her no favours and still wears her hair the same way with those loose strands Her fashion choices have slowly worsened through the years; when she was with the RF she had some good apparel. But none recently The businesses she supports are dodgy (ClevrBlends not upfront on ingredients sourced from China; those Cesta handbags cheat the African women who make them) She used to pretend to be vegan/pro animal life but is inconsistent with the values (uses leather goods, didn’t call out Harry’s cruelty to animals in Polo)Still lies constantly forced school kids’ parents in a New York elementary to donate to Archewell by buying her book and then silenced them with NDAsPublicises every small donation or contribution to a charity threatened to blab on her in laws by saying she hadn’t been made to sign an NDA marched in front of veterans at Invictus, while wearing shorts posed with disabled people while ignoring them the whole time made the Queen’s death about herself by demanding to be present (thus delaying Harry’s flight) and then being photographed at the Palace while the Queen’s body was being received; did fake crying, then did the curtsy she said she couldn’t do and more Everything I try to think of something nice to say, each one of the above facts came up. The only positive thing I can say today is that she and Harry have stopped having public appearances together. And that is a huge blessing. ETA: I just thought of another! She’s made Catherine even more beloved.

An average of about 10 children per-day were referred to the Texas justice system for making threats in September.

More children are facing criminal consequences for terroristic threats in recent years, according to data obtained by The Dallas Morning News.

During the first full month of the school year, 316 children were referred for terroristic threats, according to county-level figures compiled by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department.

In many cases, a referral is similar to an arrest. The child is taken into custody and brought to a detention center. Children can also be called in to meet with an officer after a charge is sent to a probation department or judge.

The vast majority of terroristic threat cases involved boys. More than half of the September referrals were children between 10 and 13 years old.

Roughly 13% of Texas public school students are Black, but such students accounted for about 22% of terroristic threat referrals.

Shooters who carry out preplanned attacks are rarely Black or very young, according to data analyzed by David Riedman, a researcher and professor who created the K-12 School Shooting Database.

“It seems like there’s just a level of adult discretion missing,” he said of the September data.

Schools across Texas faced a surge in threats in the weeks after a 14-year-old fatally shot two teenagers and two teachers at Georgia’s Apalachee High School on Sept. 4.

Many reported threats were deemed non-credible by law enforcement.

Children as young as 10 were arrested in response.

Some civil rights advocates worry about this increase in criminal consequences for children who may not fully understand the weight of their words and who don’t have the means to carry out violence.

“Kids will say things sometimes. There might be asinine comments that come from kids – we all were children once, right?” said Andrew Hairston, director of the Education Justice Project at Texas Appleseed. “Even if you make a mistake, you should not be railroaded into this criminal legal regime for it.”

Law enforcement officials say that in today’s climate, they can’t dismiss any potential threats. So far 2024 has seen at least 35 school shootings resulting in deaths or injuries, according to Education Week.

Officials have emphasized that children must be held accountable for harmful and disruptive language. Every time ominous words spread across social media or the cafeteria, it terrifies students and strains police resources.

“We’re taking, as we should, school safety really seriously. You can’t just say ‘I want to bring a gun to school’ without having a consequence,” said Shane Wallace, director of the Texas Association of School Resource Officers.

State data analyzed by The News found the highest number of terroristic threat referrals in recent years came in 2023, the year after the Uvalde massacre at Robb Elementary. Roughly 1,950 children were referred during that fiscal year.

The impact of criminal consequences can be profound.

The News recently examined the case of a 10-year-old boy who was arrested and criminally charged after his teacher reported that he said: “Maybe I should bring a gun to school. Then maybe they will listen to me.” The boy, who has autism, said he was misunderstood. His family doesn’t own guns.

It took more than two years – and thousands of dollars – for his family to get the charge dismissed. The ordeal shattered the boy’s confidence and caused his parents to pull him out of his public school, his family said.

City officials in Uvalde, Texas, released another trove of videos on Tuesday from officers responding to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, footage that they had previously failed to divulge as part of a legal settlement with news organizations suing for access. The new material included at least 10 police body camera videos and nearly 40 dashboard videos that largely affirm prior reporting by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and FRONTLINE detailing law enforcement’s failures to engage the teen shooter who killed 19 children and two teachers. Officers only confronted the gunman 77 minutes after he began firing, a delay that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said cost lives. In one 30-minute video released Tuesday, officers lined up in the school hallway as they prepared to breach a classroom door about an hour after the shooter first entered the building. The footage, while not new, showed a slightly different angle from what had previously been released.

Good news everyone! The cops investigated themselves and found no wrong doing!

If anyone needs me, I'm going to go throw up now

It’s the two year anniversary of the Robb Elementary massacre. All 21 victims are equally important of course but the story of Maite Rodriguez has really stuck with me since I learned about her.

“In the days and weeks following the fatal Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, mother Ana Rodriguez has been fighting for answers through her daughter's shoes.

Her daughter, 10-year-old Maite Rodriguez, was one of 21 killed in the May 24 massacre. She was identified solely through her size five pair of green Converse with a drawn-on heart on the left toe.

We were at a local shoe store here and she wanted Converse," Rodriguez recalled. "She saw at the bottom shelf these lime green Converse and they were on sale, so she said, 'Look mama, look at these shoes. I found Converse,' and I said, 'Well let's see if they're your size,' and they were her size. They were her exact size.

Two days later, Rodriguez said she saw her daughter sporting a freshly drawn heart on the toe.

“I said 'Maite, why did you draw a heart on your shoes? I just got those for you,' and she goes, 'Just because I really like them,'" she said.

The heart, Rodriguez feels, is a testament to Maite's sweet nature.

"She was just an all-around sweet girl. My sweet girl, that's what I called her – my sweet girl," Rodriguez said. "She was smart, beautiful and best-of-all she was my best friend, and I don't exaggerate on that. She was my best friend. We went everywhere together."

Together they planned to visit Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Maite's dream school where she hoped to become a marine biologist.

"It started in kindergarten. She couldn't even say marine biologist yet… I thought with time she's going to change her mind; she's going to want to be a nurse or something when she gets older. Well, she never changed her mind," Rodriguez said. "I wanted to keep encouraging her, you know, maybe if she saw the college or the university, the ocean – it would just keep driving her even harder."

The university has since unveiled the Maite Yuleana Rodriguez scholarship, which will be awarded to a student from Uvalde who is pursuing a degree in marine biology.

I'm now utterly convinced MEGAN MARKLE IS ON THIS SUB. MY REASONING BELOW. by u/deedee50

I'm now utterly convinced MEGAN MARKLE IS ON THIS SUB. MY REASONING BELOW. Two days ago in a post a member stated they were scared, posting their thoughts on markle and hank trying to work their way back in. i tried to link to the posters and posts but it would'nt let me.Another poster posted this reply in the post.." I know so many of us, globally, are beyond exhausted of those two, but as a Texan, I am livid. The absolute NERVE she has of even crossing the state line is beyond me. Her heartless "pap walk" in Uvalde was heinous enough, but I recently saw the photographs of her checking the cameras with the photographers that SHE brought, to make sure they got "perfect shot**".** She did that several times. And while she did, she would move mourners out of her way, mourners including mothers who had just lost their child. She was at an elementary school. Disgusting does not begin to cover it**.** She has never reached out to Uvalde since the few hours she was there for her photo op. She has never done anything for the families of the victims (2 of the victims were not only teachers but also mothers), the survivors, the faculty or for the school itself. Absolutely vile."Now we have hank and skank visiting... Harry and Meghan were visiting Uvalde in Texas for a local event to support families who were affected by the mass shooting in particular the family of the teacher mentioned above.Co-incidence? could they have organised it in 2 days? BUT there were many other posts prior to that one , stating the same sentiment & feeling regarding her Uvalde visit, so is this visit part of her 99th re-launch to improve her popularity ratings. Does she read here to gather how the sinners feel about her and how to improve her image, after Uvalde I'm convinced she's lurking, even posting at times, as shes apparently prone to "putting the feelers out". Plus she had to pay to sit on that panel (or rather WME did). To play the victim again about being bullied on line, when they have called the sugars to thank them for their support, same sugars who told me they hope my cancer kills me soon. they're 20 plus abusive msgs i rec'd like that, showing the hypocrites they are. ty for reading everyone.

Today I would like to talk about empathy

It is a somewhat complicated subject for some people, although they continue to say that they are empathetic when they are not

Definition of empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

What happens when you see an edit or something about tcc?

Many hate comments, even on my tiktok they have wished me death and many bizarre things, or even commented on respect for the victims and their families and friends.

In that situation they are putting themselves in the place of the victims, they are empathetic with them but what happens to the shooter? Or the killer?

Nobody thinks about them more than the people tcc

It seems illogical and contradictory to me that they say they are empathetic and they themselves ask for empathy when they do not think about the attacker, they do not stop to analyze their mental health that life harms us all and it blinds us in sometimes

Have you ever done something violent because anger, sadness or desperation controlled you? It's the same but on a larger scale

I recently uploaded something related to the topic on my tiktok

Continuing on the subject, they are not empathetic because they do not care about the attacker, if they really want to stop all attacks in schools, shopping centers or stop any other related crime they must give importance to everyone's mental health and understand the attackers well

Even some who know the lives of the attackers blame them for everything, just like what happened at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde 2022

Salvador Ramos spent 2 months in the morgue because almost all the funeral homes refused to bury him

He was eventually buried in another city in Texas.

The only time I've seen empathy, and it was really little, was at Columbine 1999 with the crosses dedicated to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

A grand jury has indicted two former Uvalde school police officers in the botched law enforcement response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, two Texas state government sources with knowledge of the indictment told CNN Thursday. Former Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pete Arrendondo and former school police officer Adrian Gonzales were named in the indictments, which represent the first criminal charges filed in the school massacre. The two officers face felony charges of abandoning and endangering a child, Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell told the Uvalde Leader-News, and one of them was expected to surrender later Thursday. The indictments were not immediately available from the Uvalde County District Court clerk’s office. Family members of the victims have been meeting with the DA’s office to discuss the results of the months-long grand jury investigation, according to Brett Cross, the guardian of 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia, one of the fourth graders killed in the shooting rampage. Earlier this year, the US Justice Department released a damning report that concluded law enforcement officers had many opportunities to reassess their flawed response to the May 24, 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School. Bursts of gunfire, reports a teacher had been shot and then a desperate call from a student trapped with the gunman could – and should – all have prompted a drive to stop the bloodshed far sooner, said the report. Instead, it took 77 minutes from when the 18-year-old shooter walked into Robb Elementary School until he was stopped. The carnage remains among the deadliest episodes in America’s ongoing scourge of campus shootings.

I love Where I Am From But FUCK

On Saturday, a 33-year-old, Nazi-sympathizing gunman armed with an assault rifle killed eight people and wounded seven others at a popular shopping mall in Allen, TX, a suburb of Dallas. Among the victims were two elementary-school students. A mass shooting is typically defined as the killing of four or more people. Texas has seen almost one a month in the past year. What have Texas Republicans been doing in that time? Making guns even more accessible, not less.  

Less than a year has elapsed since the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, TX, where 19 children and two teachers were murdered at the local elementary school. Months later, the state senator representing Uvalde was told to stop bringing up gun-control legislation or face being barred from speaking at all. Multiple mass shootings have occurred in Texas in the intervening months, as gun control remains a non-starter in the GOP-dominated State Capitol.   

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has made a big display of attending vigils for victims of each massacre, while simultaneously ensuring that gun massacres remain a uniquely American (and especially Texan) horror. He again said he would not regulate firearms and justified it with the false claim that mass shootings have no relationship with the strictness of a state’s gun-control laws, insisting that the “root cause” is “mental health problems.” As a nation, we’re forced to go through this whole disgusting song and dance every couple of months: A mass shooting occurs, Republican politicians offer their hollow “thoughts and prayers,” do nothing to tighten gun control, blame mental-health issues, then do nothing to address mental-health issues either. Abbott has cut over $200 million in funding from the state agencies that provide mental health services.

With your ongoing help, Israel is continuing to murder children and other civilians in Gaza just as methodically as the gunman murdered children at the elementary school in Uvalde. And you have continued to provide weaponry for the murders just as surely as the gun shop in Uvalde sold firearms and ammunition to the man who went on to kill at the elementary school. But that is an unfair comparison—unfair to the Uvalde gun-shop owner, who did not know the intended use of the weapons and ammo. But you know what the billions of dollars’ worth of weapons and bombs gifted by the U.S. government are being used for.

The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday released a withering report into the hundreds of Texas law enforcement officers’ fumbled response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting, finding “cascading failures of leadership, decision-making, tactics, policy and training.”

The long-anticipated 575-page report detailed the many failures of the May 24, 2022 response, but concluded the most significant was that officers should have immediately recognized that it was an active shooter situation and confronted the gunman, who was with victims in two adjoining classrooms.

It noted that since the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, American law enforcement officers have been trained to prioritize stopping the shooter while everything else, including officer safety, is secondary.

“These efforts must be undertaken regardless of the equipment and personnel available,” the report found.

Instead, officers wrongly treated the situation as a barricaded suspect, even as children and teachers pleaded for help with 911 operators. It took 77 minutes for officers to confront the shooter. Nineteen students and two teachers died that day and 17 others were injured in one of the country’s worst school shootings.

The federal review by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services was announced just five days after the shooting. It was led by Orange County Sheriff John Mina, the incident commander during the 2016 Pulse Nightclub massacre in Orlando. In that incident, officers waited three hours to take down the shooter who had barricaded himself with victims in a bathroom.

A Justice Department and National Policing Institute review of that Florida law enforcement response was far less critical than the Uvalde report. It found that Florida officers mostly followed best practices, although it stated the law enforcement agencies in Orlando should update their training and policies.

In the Uvalde review, the federal team reviewed more than 14,100 pieces of data and documentation, including policies, training logs, body camera footage, audio recordings, interview transcripts and photographs.

The team visited Uvalde nine times, spending 54 days there, and conducted more than 260 interviews with people from more than 30 organizations and agencies, including law enforcement officers, school staff, medical personnel, survivors and victims’ families.

The Uvalde report’s release comes two months after ProPublica, the Texas Tribune and PBS’ Frontline published an investigation into the response after gaining access to a trove of investigative materials, including more than 150 interviews with officers and dozens of body cameras.

The material showed that the children at Robb Elementary followed active shooter protocols, while many of the officers did not. It detailed how officers treated the situation as a barricaded suspect rather than an active threat even as evidence mounted quickly that children and teachers were injured and with the shooter.

ProPublica and the Tribune have also revealed that some officers were afraid to confront the gunman because he had a deadly AR-15 rifle. With the Washington Post, the news organizations found that the medical response also was flawed and that two children and a teacher were still alive when they were rescued more than an hour later, but then died.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland is expected to discuss the federal report at an 11 a.m. press conference.
