Liar liar liar. The police did not enter the building for one hour. And theyAnd they arrested parents trying to go in to get their kids.
The only intolerable thing about Abbott is that he can't "stand" against gun control against mentally unfit people. I don't believe a word… his policies say more than his words. Instead just tickle the office ego but no plan to change this pattern.
The only thing that shocked me about this is the cowardly reaction of the Republican's Law enforcement, I mean it's really just another Tuesday Morning, provided by the JRA and the Republican Party. . You sorry POS mental ill people do not shoot people anywhere in the world do not shoot masses of people like they do here. Further more Republicans block every effort to increase funding for mental health. Satan will not have MF like Abbott.
Vote him out
BETO O'ROURKE Thanks for speaking up against social injustice🙏🏽👍🏽❤.
They must have NO Former military, in their Department. You, are trained to “TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY”!!!
Infantry!! “FOLLOW ME”!!!

"It could have been worse" -Abbott
What a POS
Can't listen to this guy. All talk to action.
If Abbott wants me to put my mental health records into a government database and calls this a solution then I'm going to go from being a man without a gun to showing up at next year's NRA convention (too bad Amber Heard's ACLU is useless). There is no statistically significant correlation between mental illness and committing violence. There IS statistically significant evidence that people with mental illness are more likely to be the victims of violence. I'd rather have a gun than be scapegoated.
Running towards gunfire…ha jfc
He's advocating free healthcare (socialism) but that wont stop the next guy from doing the same thing.
Good on you Beto. Speaking truth to power. The answer is not more guns. I wonder, were guns allowed into Abbott's press conference? I heard they weren't when Drumpf spoke at the NRA. How ironic.
Oh as I was listening to this video I had a call from my friend. A close friend, my brother….He lost His grandbaby…my how this hit close to home. I just lost my first born and it's just horrific to think this occured.
This is the the Kyle Rittenhouse syndrome. These Young vigilante can't wait to get their hands on a gun and go on Safari to defend what they believe in.

Maybe the shooter was planning to go the high school next with the other loaded weapon n ammunition in the truck he crashed…RIP ALL VICTIMS. What accountability should the mother pay?…she still thinks the suspect is an angel if she did her job as a mother none of this would have happened, now the neighbor says the suspect sister behaves worst than he does. The mother needs help mentally. PEOPLE CANT KEEP HAVING KIDS AND NEGLECTING INSIGHTS! Your the mother u know that child!
Abbott promising public services for Uvalde after the shooting is kind of like someone who gave an arsonist gasoline and matches and, after the arsonist burns down your house, offers you help with your lot cleanup, your home insurance claim, etc. but does not admit any responsibility for the commission of the crime. Abbott is the "king of diversion." He has strongly supported the extensive weakening of gun-safety laws in Texas such that they are now almost nonexistent. And his "alligator tears" for the victims and their families is not convincing. I would like to see him actually look into the eyes of the grieving family members. Maybe he could explain his support for the sale of assault weapons to Texans down to the killer's age, 18.
Abbott promised Uvalde mental health services after the murderous shooting that occurred with Texas-legal assault weapons. However, he recently cut funding for mental health services in his state more than $100 million. Texas ranks last not only in financial support for mental health but in the percentage of residents who have health insurance.
Leave the flags at half mask. Everyday is Memorial Day in America.
Those with the biggest mental health issues are clearly those running the country and passing the laws.
I see a mostly male panel. If you had a diverse & inclusive panel I think the panel would say its not just a mental health issue, even though there is a need for more mental health programs.
Run and then waiting a whole hour to go forward
DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS AMERICANS FOR A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, because We will end up with neither.
Police ! Are here to help fill the body bags and mop up after the fact. THE POLICE! Just proved that. They just proved that.
Government and Police CANNOT protect you, only God And a well maintained Firearm can pull that off.
June 2021, Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law a "permitless carry bill" that allows the state's residents to carry handguns without a license or training.

The best way to stop a bullet is your child
A Republican said just the other day… He said that the reason Republicans win is because Democrats don't bother to vote.
I say to all Democrats and anyone else… Protecting our children from massacre should bring parents out and VOTE in the masses to ensure that people like Greg Abbott NEVER serve in any office again.
WE can do this! Let's show them we care about protecting our children and that 18 children did not die just to be buried again by Greg Abbott.
… Protecting OUR children is a parents highest responsibility.
greg abott: better your kids than mine
Very obvious and dodging the bullet avoiding the gun issue because he supports it and probably gets funded by NRA.
greg abbot friend of the proud boys
so abbott wants to protect kids by banning abortion, but a school shooting with many tragic young deaths “could have been worse.” This man needs the psychological help.
He should have said "I made a bunch of mistakes in the past but It's time to fix it. I will make sure to ban assault rifles and make guns for 21+ only. But first we must let the families heal, then in 2 days I will ban Assault Rifles in Texas. We can make this country safe!"
-Greg Abbott
Greg Abbott gave condolences and prayers to the parents of the massacred children…
then Greg Abbott gave lies, lies, lies, lies…to the parents of the massacred children and the Uvalde community.
….Then Greg Abbott celebrated with the NRA and will do nothing to ban AR-15 weapon of war to protect our children.
….On top of that Ted Cruz wants only one door in schools, making school death traps for our children.
Parents have to make a choice, it's no longer about party.
…A parent's responsibility is to protect their children, the parents loyalty is to their children.
…. Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz loyalty is to NRA bloody money.
…Greg Abbott said, that laws did stop the killer,. That's because Abbott hasn't put any laws in place that could have stopped the massacre of the innocent school children in Uvalde.
Yeah, Greg Abbott did nothing to protect our children
Greg Abbott may have all the million of bloody money from the NRA…
Parents have something worth more that Greg Abbott bloody money…. Something Greg Abbott can buy… That OUR VOTE.
Let's VOTE to remove Greg Abbott… Parents need someone that will fight to protect our children.
Mr. Bean u are in need …u need too replace this fool Greg Abbot
Texas really should secede from the Nation… I don't think the rest of the states would mind it's a failed state.
This Is a Man that wants to be President. And has people that will work for that goal, and Gun Manufacturers willing to contribute,And the GOP has many others just as sick,wanting to do the same!! Situation normal all
F——. Up!!!!
Replace and improve!!!
Vote Blue!!!!
Blue
Honestly it’s crazy how they’re trying to shift the gun problem to a mental health problem. Mental health IS a problem, but so are the loose gun control laws.
SO WHY HASN"T ALL FRAUDS THAT CALL themselves police in Uvalde Texas been Fired YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY HASN'T ALL THE FRAUDS in Uvalde Texas that call themselves police BEEN FIRED YET????????????
Stolen by a demented person, and facilitated by a state government that allows disfunctional eighteen years old to purchase killing machines and high capacity ammunition in any desired quantity for fear of losing favor with their NRA Gods.
The Texas governor that wants to be like Trump. Abbott lied to these families. He didn't think the truth would come out. What he did was reprehensible, it's okay for a kid in Texas to buy automatic weapon, Greg Abbott has no problem with that. He wants those NRA campaign funds, the only thing that GOP cares about, not pissing off Trump, a reality show Star, a con man and a grifter, serial cheater, a man with no morals no principles, no integrity, Trump controls the GOP, every now and then one of the Republicans go down Mar-A-Lago, to kiss Trump's ring.
Well this aged about as well as raw meat.

Mr Greg Abbot explain to Texas how reverse phygology can desactivate flying cars in this state of George Washington
I don't understand you.You said the police did a good job? Hiding at the end of the hall while little kids were getting killed. It is standard procedure for police to engage a shooter immediately.They hid at the end of the hall instead. And on top of that, Uvalde ordered the United States Border patrol NOT to engage the shooter. Uvalde police did not do ONE thing…. They are all cowards.Now if i understand ths right, they are trying to put part of the Blame on you, which i disagree with 100%. My point is……. Please don't defend a Bunch of cowards that did nothing.
