1/This goes to show what our families and supporters have been saying since the beginning.
1. Officers knew…They fucking KNEW that there were dead and dying children in the classroom and they did absolutely nothing to help and/or protect them.
2/ We’ve heard it out of their mouths that they were afraid of getting shot. You know, one of the hazards of their profession that they know about before taking the job. That’s like me climbing my wind turbines and then refusing to work on any electrical because I could get
3/ electrocuted. You know the hazards. You choose your profession. You failed our kids. Kids died because you refused to go in.

2. Our community voted Mariano back into an elected position, despite 3 other candidates, 1 of which being a father of a slain child.
4/ #UvaldeStrong” showed up and re-elected Mariano, even after they knew he was in there and knowing he was placed on administrative leave since July. And you all wonder why we say the community is divided. You’d rather stand by someone who blatantly WALKED AWAY from the school
5/ and the dead and dying children. It’s fucking disgraceful and you all should be ashamed of yourselves, yet I have a suspicion that it won’t affect you seeing as where your morals stand. The good Ol’ boy system is so evident that y’all don’t try to hide it.
6/ 3. It’s shameful that Mariano is given the chance to retire, to keep his benefits, pension, and badge. He KNEW a child had called in and detailed there were dead and dying. Now he gets to walk away, just like he did from the school that day. No repercussions. It’s sickening.
7/ Hal Harrell, Beth Reavis, Ken Mueller, Crimson Elizondo, and now Mariano Pargas, keep adding to the list of names that will not face any consequences for their deliberate negligence, while our children lie in cemeteries and urns. Until there is justice, there will be no peace.
8/ There were 376 officers that day. Only one has been fired. The School system failed our kids and yet only one person was fired, the others have either stepped down (after months of fighting) and one was actually given a promotion, to be in charge of even more
9/ vulnerable children.
Enough is Enough! Our children deserve justice. Our community, even though divided deserve the truth so that we can begin to heal and remove the cancers that are elected officials and change the hearts and minds of those blinded by loyalty.
10/ Until then, we fight. We raise hell. We back down for nothing and no one. For our 21. #4U For Uziyah. For the children across this country. For all the @LivesRobbed.

Your child is murdered. Your community cries. Support comes in from all over the world. Your community claims they’re UvaldeStrong. Baseball and basketball games, free events, bikes, parks. Your community relishes it.
You fight for accountability. Your community goes quiet.
You fight for transparency. Your community tells you to shut up.
You fight for your son, his classmates and every other child to make sure they grow up. Your community votes in a man with blood on his hands that could have prevented this tragedy in the wake of the last one.
Your community takes Uvalde Strong and turns it into Uvalde Sit down, Shut up, and relish the free gifts. Your community rages about the national compassion fund because “everyone” was affected. Your community shows that one white mans retirement means more to them than justice.

It’s been 5 months since the unthinkable happened. 5 months since since my boy walked out of the front door, jumped on the bus, went to school and never returned. 5 months of a pain that is incomparable if you haven’t experienced it for yourself. 5 months since my family and my
life changed for the absolute worst. 5 months of could of should of would ofs. 5 months of fucking nightmares that don’t end when you wake up, yet are exacerbated when reality sets in, in the first few moments you wipe the sleep from your eyes. 5 months of seeing my kids hurt
from something that I can’t fix, and goddamnit I’m supposed to fix everything for them! 5 months since we were gutted, left behind in time as the world continues spinning. 5 months of a run around by local state and federal parties are care more about their jobs and money than

This time, four months ago, It was a normal day. I was at my office getting a booklet made for each of my coworkers that would show their growth in their skills to help get them raises. 2 hours from then, I’d get a call that would shatter my world. My wife called, screaming
“There’s a shooter at Uzi’s school.” I told my lead I had to go as I was running to my car. As I hauled ass towards the school, I got another call. “He’s in the fourth grade hallway, and I can’t get ahold of Uzi!” The shots rang through my phone as my wife was telling me this.
By the time I made it to town I received a third call. “They aren’t letting us see or get the kids, go to the civic center.” I headed there, not knowing it would be 8 hours of sitting and hoping. As bus loads of children got off, Uzi’s class never made it.

@GregAbbott_TX Hey buddy, remember me? I’m the father of a Uvalde Victim (I know, you don’t know any of their names “off the top of your head”) I had the honor of calling your ass out yesterday, outside your lovely tax payer funded mansion and on the steps of our gorgeous
Capital!! I wanted to let you know that I guess we just missed each other, while you’re campaigning your bullshit and refusing to call a special session to move the age to 21 to buy an assault rifle….You know, the kind that murdered my son and his 18 classmates and two teachers.
See, I informed everybody what you told me face to face..That you won’t, and that had a bill been in place it wouldn’t have stopped what happened in Uvalde.
