Hollyweird Reacts - Harden Our Schools

Matthew McConaughey, Taylor Swift & More Hollywood Celebs Condemn Texas Mass Shooting

In a grim act of terror, a mass shooting in an elementary school in Texas claimed the lives of at least 21 including 19 kids. The incident took place at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde when an 18-yr-old opened fire at the school which has an enrollment of under 600 students. Texas Governor Greg Abbott revealed that the suspected gunman was identified as Salvador Ramos and is believed to be killed by the responding officers.

Following the mass shooting, politicians including former US president Barack Obama and more condemned the heinous act of gun violence and called for strict measures. Hollywood celebrities followed suit and critically slammed a series of mass shootings that took place in the US including the Buffalo supermarket shooting.

Biden Doesn’t ‘Believe in’ Proposals to Harden Schools, White House Press Secretary Says

President Biden does not “believe in” proposals to harden schools against potential gunmen, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Tuesday.

“I know there’s been conversation about hardening schools, that is not something he believes in,” Jean-Pierre told reporters at a White House press conference. “He believes that we should be able to give teachers the resources to be able to do their job.”

Here's the Real Reason Why Democrats Refuse to Harden Schools

Democrats pounced on the opportunity provided by last week’s mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead, but in their haste to enact a nationwide gun-grab, Democrats have repeatedly dismissed the common sense approach of hardening the schools.

As candles burned on either side of his red carpet during his prime-time address to Americans on Thursday night, President Joe Biden proposed a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, enhanced background checks and even the repeal of legal immunity for gun manufacturers, all of which have been on the left’s Christmas list for a long time, and none of which would be necessary if schools were appropriately secure.

Thus, Biden conspicuously left out any mention of the Republican-backed solution of increasing the police presence at our schools.

Parents begged police for upward of 40 minutes to stop Texas school shooter

Police stood by for upward of 40 minutes after a gunman stormed into an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday and killed 19 children and two teachers in a classroom, according to a new report.

Investigators are piecing together what happened over the course of the massacre, which ended with a Border Patrol team rushing in and killing the 18-year-old shooter. Witnesses cited by the Associated Press recalled shouting at police to enter the building to save the people inside. One even proposed having bystanders do the job that officers apparently refused to do as they stood outside.
