[ASTM366]

Children who need not have died were murdered when law enforcement personnel stood outside of Columbine High School with their MP5's and shotguns stuck up their as*es rather than going into the building, risking their lifes for the children, and taking out Harris and Klebold.

As long as I live, I will not forget the images of the cops standing outside the building in groups, hiding behind vehicles, not one of them rushing inside to aid the children - A GRAPHIC PICTURE OF COWARDICE.

Yes, a grand jury to investigate the lack of action by law enforcement would be in order.

"...As long as I live, I will not forget the images of the cops standing outside the building in groups, hiding behind vehicles, not one of them rushing inside to aid the children - A GRAPHIC PICTURE OF COWARDICE..."

Pictures that the cowards shown in them, and their various apologists, disregard as they demand of us, "Are you going to believe us, or your lying eyes?"

You might get a grand jury and you might even get some sort of conviction, but it would be overturned on appeal because the courts have ruled time and again that the police are under no legal obligation to protect anyone in particular.

The only solution is go after, at the polls, the first available elected official in the chain of command. I think that would be the sherrif and the mayor(s).

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you armchair high judges always know what is best AFTER the fact.

I too, think they should not have waited so long to go in, but to blame the deaths on the police is ludicrous and shows a complete lack of understanding of the concept of RELEVANCE. 2 kids are at fault, the rest were reacting in the heat of battle.

If those officers had rushed in, instigating a heavy gun battle with collateral injuries(not saying that would have been the result, but it was a significant risk), you would probably be the first and the loudest shouting how "as long as you live, you will never forget the images of those stormtroopers hastily charging the building, killing children, a graphic picture of excessive force and poor judgement."

There were reports that State Police/CBI waited for "permission" from Washignton before entering the school. If that is the case, don't expect a federal grand jury to bring to light the full details of what occured that afternoon.

A GRAPHIC PICTURE OF COWARDICE.

Even worse was watching the cowards in their flack jackets, with m16’s at the ready, boldly approaching the school, shielded by a fire truck.

The poor fireman was in plain view behind that huge windshield, he had no flack jacket.

I believe that the courts have said that law enforcement is NOT required to intervene and protect the public, and I'm sure that is becuase todays liberal courts will let the perp cry foul. What ever happened to "To Protect and Serve"?

Remembering also the teacher who bled to death more than 2 hours after the initial attack ... (Sniff).
