IE we would like to discuss real topics instead of nonsense like what Alex Jones spews forth.
Some don't need mommy to think for them, because the are not afraid to see it.
Laugh, frown, pass, or reply...

You have never and probably will never watch an Alex Jones full show. When Milo is co-hosting, it can get pretty animated. It is just part of the excitement of news. It is not boring. He was going off the rails last week and it was funny as ****! But he has long interviews with interesting and important people. Not some 5 minute segment between commercials.
He reads news articles and makes commentary and then brings experts in to get down to the subject deep.

Here is the sheriff of the county Columbine was in explaining why his officers didn't go in.
Quote:
In his letter, Sheriff Stone said that by taking positions around the building and waiting for SWAT teams to arrive, his officers were doing what they were trained to do. He said his officers "responded quickly, returned fire, deployed appropriately and safely extracted hundreds of trapped and terrified students and teachers." He also asked us to talk to Larry Glick, who directs a national organization that trains SWAT teams.

"They believed that they really had six to eight armed individuals inside there," says Glick of the police outside the school. "And if you're in those shoes of those officers, they felt that it was more reasonable to wait until additional personnel responded to move in."

As we all know, protocol changed after Columbine from establish a perimeter to go in and engage the shooter(s).

Quote:
LITTLETON, Colorado (CNN) -- Investigators are looking into witness reports of a third gunman involved in the shootings at Columbine High School and also expect to make "one or more" arrests of people involved in planning the attack, according to reports published Wednesday.

That being said, provide another source if you don't believe snopes.
Man I thought I was the only one that notices these things. I often feel that that particular poster is two different people sometime, as I've found they post conflicting arguments.

She said while being interviewed by Matt Musil from KHOU! So how can they "debunk" it? She heard shots fired after she was walking with Nikolas Cruz. So he can't have been the only shooter!

Most prosecutors would tell you eyewitness testimony is far from their favorite, most trusted form of 'evidence'.


Ballistics will easily determine just how many guns were in use if not the number of shooters.

Sorry. That's not what she said. She clearly said she saw Cruz after shots were fired. She then said she thought there were two shooters because she was hearing gun shots prior to seeing Cruz from another part of the building. Nowhere did she says she heard shots while walking with Cruz or after.

Cruz had also been expelled a while ago. Wouldn’t she question his presence?

They have not mentioned it in awhile because although he had prior been suspension for a period of time, he was no longer suspended at the time of the shooting. Fox & Friends reported that.

Evidently, she didn't. She could have thought he had been reinstated. It's possible she didn't know he had been expelled at all. Maybe in the manic moment that was going on, she didn't think about it one way or the other.
