Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic
Crooked politicians must be held accountable for the crimes they have done. Trump is the only one who will do it. To elect a POTUS who will not prioritize fixing our criminal political system will not be good enough for me.We will not get another one like Trump ,who will bitch slap the evil out of Washington politics..No one can deny that Trump is crazy enough to do it. But he needs us to want it fixed. He can not stand alone..This is that time in history. The time that many have hoped. Turn your back on this opportunity,and we are done. THAT IS THE TRUTH OF IT.

TRUMP RALLY IN OHIO.....8/1
Every politician is saying the first responders did a good job in El Paso shooting. That`s a bunch of bullshit. 6 minutes first police on seen. Law enforcement shot 0 times. 27 minutes after first shot the gunman gave up as police closed in on him. 21 minutes went by from first on seen to confronting the gunman. The gunman was shooting people the whole time so police could hear where he was. Much death happened during that 21 minutes . I want to puke when I hear the politicians come out and say what a good job they did....Trump I hope comes out with a different view of the whole thing. My respect for police is real...But I will not cheapen my respect by saying they did a good job....Fox is full of shit on this one..
Kevin, and others,
There is much to say on this one -- MUCH! And, I am speaking as a retired law enforcement officer, supervisor, and administrator.
First, given the facts as we have them at this time, I have to agree with Kevin; the police did a lousy job. El Paso is reminiscent of many other mass shootings in that the law enforcement response was sloppy and ineffective at best, and negligent at worst. Police should have responded immediately! The FIRST arriving officer should have gone in IMMEDIATELY -- people were DYING! No time to waste waiting for back-up or supervisors!
The same thing happened in the (Colorado, I think) school shooting where police stood around with their thumbs up their asses waiting for permission or instructions to enter the school. Say What?!
Juxtapose that with the shooting at the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California. Police response was immediate and forceful, resulting in only three dead, including the shooter (more on this later).
The tepid police response by El Paso PD officers tells me much about El Paso PD's training and leadership (the Chief of Police is as good as gone, but I'm sure that is no consolation to the dead, wounded, and families). The apparent fact that the police fired zero rounds while the slaughter went on for 23 minutes -- 23 MINUTES -- speaks volumes! The fact that the shooter gave up IMMEDIATELY when FINALLY confronted by police tells me even more.
Let me give you an example. When I was on the job I had a couple of situations somewhat similar to this, both with peaceful outcomes. In both cases, we confronted the would-be gunman IMMEDIATELY and FORCEFULLY. In both cases, he KNEW he was outgunned and WOULD die if he did not surrender, and I mean RIGHT FREAKING NOW! He gave up and no one got hurt or killed. THAT is appropriate police response.
Now, let's talk about the REAL, UNDERLYING issue -- gun-free zones. Unknown to most people, Texas does not allow people to be armed without State permission (Kansas does, BTW, and we don't have this crap here). In other words, the victims in El Paso were defenseless, giving the shooter free rein to kill as many as possible.
Back to the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California. Police were manning the gates, screening for guns and weapons, disarming the victims. The shooter simply cut a hole in the fence, entered and started shooting. The fact that police were already there, manning the gates, significantly lessened the casualties. BUT, that's not the point. I'll bet serious money that if the patrons had not been disarmed, the shooter would not have picked the Festival in the first place.
The same thing happened in the Colorado movie theater shooting with over 20 movie-goers dead. The theater was a gun-free zone. The shooter bought a ticket and entered the theater. When everyone was seated, he left via the emergency exit, blocking the door slightly open, went to his car, retrieved his gun, re-entered via the emergency exit, and started mowing down movie-goers who were lined up in nice neat rows. Then, all he had to do was shoot at the exit doors as people tried to flee. BUT, what if there had been several armed patrons in the audience? I dare say he might have gotten off three rounds before coming under massive return fire. Problem solved!
It is important to note that these mass shootings almost ALWAYS happen in gun-free zones. El Paso, the Colorado movie theater, Sandy Hook, and the Florida nightclub are but a few examples. Mass shooters don't target armed "victims". Hey, someone might shoot back! Dang, hate when that happens, don't you?
The media, especially the Lefties, will never talk about this simple fact. Instead, they will reflexively, in knee-jerk fashion, talk about how best to disarm the public. So, too, will politicians, ignoring the glaringly obvious fact that they are surrounded by armed bodyguards. But not us, OH NO, can't have THAT!
Further, I love it when the media hyper-focus on the occasional and rare incident of real or imagined police misconduct while, simultaneously, ignoring (or even justifying) the daily slaughter in places like Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, and Baltimore, all gun-free zones run by Democrats.
Back to El Paso. Yes, this is a human tragedy, but one caused and worsened by police incompetence and politicians. It will make interesting media fodder and nothing will be resolved.
Enough of my rant.

I knew you would feel the same about the El Paso shooting. Now reports have it that the creep ran out of ammo and then decided to give up. Geez.....Now on the other hand the response to the shooting in Dayton Ohio was amazing. Less than a minute from the first shot and that creep was Swiss Cheese. He was taken down by multiple officers. What is bothersome is how did this creep do so much damage in such a short time. That is very bothersome...It takes real men to do real man things. I have a feeling that there is a big difference in the make up of the two agencies. But then again ,it would be totally crossing the political correct line in how to operate in this day and age. I guarantee that not one politician will talk about the lack of testosterone within the agencies....Trump could be the one to point out this truth. But boy would he get blasted for that. Common sense went out the window on our politics decades ago.Trump is trying hard to use common sense in running the country. But he needs us now more than ever. So man up and pray for guidance on how to get ur done. How to keep our fight for liberty on the tracks. As for me, I will continue to talk the TRUTH OF IT while wearing my TRUMP HAT..........P.S. When I was young, You had to be 6 foot 3 inches tall and male to be a N.Y. State Trooper...just saying...
This says it all. even if it's over two hours long, it's worth it to listen to.
