he was 18 years old, he worked part-time at the drive-through at a local wendy s, yet police said he had at least $4,000 of brand-new weapons, including two ar-15 rifles, 1600 rounds of .556 ammunition, a ballistic vest, and 60 magazines. one of his rivals was a high-end model manufactured by a company called daniel defense. according to a receipt that he posted in private message, that gun cost $2,000 and he paid in full. he could have bought effectively the very same rifle at any one store for a third of the cost. but apparently to him, price was no object. that s pretty weird. if police know where he got the money to buy one of the most expensive ar-15s on the market, they are not telling us. nor for that matter have they explained why they lied about the most basic facts of the shooting. for the first 24 hours they told us that a school resource officer fired at the government. he engaged. but they must ve known at the time they said it that that was not true. the ....
children over about an hour? where was law enforcement? those are just fair questions, though they are. they are essential questions. if you want to prevent similar atrocities, you need details, you ve got to find out what exact we happened. if this is a well-known concept. every time a commercial airliner crashes in this country federal investigators painstakingly recruit the final moments of the flight. not because they are ghoulish. want to know what caused it. if and that s the main reason that air travel is so safe. after action reports work. yet somehow our leaders rarely respond as rationally to violent crime, almost never. a mass shooting is just too tempting a moment for them to demagogue. at the public is often grieving and then shock, so it s the perfect moment for the usual opportunists to leap forward and cast blame on the political opponents, to seize all the power they can while the country is too traumatized to notice. if you almost hear anyone in washin ....
But they must ve known at the time they said it that that was not true. they must know the resource officer was not even at the school when he arrived. but they told us otherwise. why did they do that? and by the way, how long was he outside the school firing his gun at people at a nearby funeral home before he went inside and killed children? it seems like a fairly simple question, certainly an important question. last week authorities told us that he was outside the school for 10-12 minutes. here s the claim. we got a crash and a man with a gun. and we have responding officers. that s what it is. if it s 12 minutes from 11:30 211:40, that s the information we have. tucker: 12 minutes from 11:30 to 11:40. that s the information we have. but that information is clearly wrong because 11:30 to 11:40 is not 10 minutes. ....
