Title-Chilling details of the chaotic and bloody aftermath of the Uvalde school massacre show how emergency medics desperately treated multiple victims wherever they could and with whatever equipment they had, according to never-before-heard interviews.


snip-"There was the state trooper with emergency medical certification who always carried five chest seals with him, never imagining he would ever need them all at once; the local EMT who crouched behind a wall as gunshots rang out and was soon treating three children at the same time; and her off-duty colleague who found herself caring for her son’s classmates, not knowing if her own boy was alive."

snip-"“I set up as best I could,” he said. “I put tourniquets, gauze, Israeli bandages, compression bandages, hemostatic gauze. I was like, ‘I got everything, I think.’ … I had five chest seals, which is ridiculous in my opinion, like I’ve made fun of myself – when am I ever going to need five chest seals?”

snip-"At least two of the EMTs had been at Robb earlier in the day to see awards presented to their children. One of them, Virginia Vela, had watched her 4th-grader son at a 10 a.m. ceremony and then two hours later was corralled in the funeral home parking lot across the street from the school with her husband and other parents who were being held back by officers."

1. The things we allow because gun-crazies want to keep their guns.

Pretty convincing anecdotal evidence that God doesn't exist.

5. Count on police unions to always use their power the wrong way.

Instead of always backing their rogue, killer members in qualified immunity shootings against unarmed Blacks and POCs, they should instead, since they're afraid of them, make a unified stand to get AR-15-styled assault weapons banned and off our streets nationally for their and the public's protection.

But no, that makes too much since
