  But I'm morbidly interested in watching as he flames out in public

  It is hilarious how he pours gasoline over himself, lights matches and then complains that it's other people doing it to him.

  Did I miss something?

  I think they are still not telling us everything.

  There were reports he shot at people outside the school, and it was 10-15 minutes before he went in.

  Who was he shooting at and why? We need more answers but it seems like they are not being totally honest until they can't deny things any longer.

  The 911 calls by kids are damning.

  I can imagine as a basic principle that if you are drawing the gunmans attention and fire, that's less time and shots being spent on victims.

  I think the school also bears some responsibility. They didn't lock the doors as they should.

  So between them, I think the school and police will likely be paying some compensation for their failures.

  Oh man, the police story keeps changing and it keeps getting worse and worse. Kids were calling 9/11 from inside the classroom while police loitered outside, not even going to get the key to get in...

  Fucking unbelievable levels of bumbling incompetence. I want to see some firings and pensions cancelled. This is unforgivable.

  Remember, when seconds count the police are only an hour and a half away. Pizza would have been delivered quicker!

  Police made the "wrong decision" by failing to storm a classroom in Robb Elementary School as a gunman killed 19 children inside, the chief Texas safety official has said.

  "If I thought it would help, I would apologise," Steven McCraw said during a heated press conference Friday.

  He confirmed a 40 minute gap from the police unit's arrival to when they entered the classroom.

  Pupils inside made multiple calls begging for police to come.

  The delay in response, now confirmed in a new timeline offered by authorities, has raised even more questions about why 18-year-old Salvador Ramos was inside the school for so long before he was killed - not by local officers, but by a tactical unit led by US border agents.

  The gunman crashed his car near the school at about 11:30 local time, Mr McCraw disclosed, and entered the school shortly after - but it was not until 12:51 that a tactical unit breached the door, entering and killing him.

  The delay happened in part because the commanding officer on scene believed the situation was no longer one involving an "active shooter", he said.

  The description is at odds with the disclosure that at least four emergency 911 calls were made from within the school - apparently from children barricaded inside the classroom where the gunman was firing - begging for police to come.

  Mr McCraw confirmed that as many as 19 police officers had gathered outside the classroom but they made no effort to get inside.

  They thought "no [more] kids were at risk" by then and "there was time" to get the classroom keys from the school janitor.

  After the gunman was shot dead, police found as many as 1,657 rounds of ammunition in his possession.

  They later ascertained he had forewarned of some of his actions in private messages to a Facebook friend.

  But his personal life is none of my business.

  It's not his personal life - he takes money off people based on a lie and he has no business whatsoever being near any CSA victim.

  He's a bully and an abuser of women and its absolutely right to call him out and warn people.

  Sorry, but WTF? Who has photos of the governing body in gilded frames on their desk?

  It's. Beyond. Weird.

  Even for a JW, but for an "anti-WTS activist"?

  If more sisters were like this, I might have stayed

  Really? That's one ugly woman IMO.

  She also seems like an ugly personality (was it her that ruining someone's first grand-slam win?). If you watch F1, there are often celebs doing the grid walk and there seems to be a mix of some who are friendly, approachable, real humans and those who are ... well, arrogant entitled self-important pricks / bitches.

  She seems like the latter.
