I was trying to figure out why Farmington sounded so familiar. It’s where the cop shot a homeowner after they went to the wrong house on a domestic violence call.

Not much else memorable about that bright red corner of NM.  ****ty town, ****ty people.  Surrounded by the Navajo and Ute Res's and full of the most vile anti native racism.  The only life long friend I lost to MAGAtism lives there.

Navajo reservoir over there is pretty nice for kayaking, particularly early spring.

It's funny, because growing up I was the more confrontational asshole between us. He was completely non-political and a really easy going nice person.

The country around there has a lot to offer.  San Juan quality waters (fishing), Mesa Verde, Durango CO and Navajo Lake like you mentioned.

 

Farmington tho is mostly roughnecks from the gas fields.

Gun-loving Texas, where most households own a firearm, has become an epicenter of mass shootings

 

Five of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in America over the past eight years have been in Texas, the latest occurring in Allen in early May when a gunman fired an AR-15-style rifle at a crowded outlet mall, killing eight people and injuring at least seven others.

 

The number of mass shootings in Texas is no coincidence given the sheer number of guns in the hands of the public, several gun violence experts told CNN.

 

Texas has among the most expansive gun rights in the country – roughly 60% of households own at least one gun, according to an Everytown for Gun Safety analysis of 2021 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s the second-highest rate in the country and above the national average of 55% of households owning one or more guns, according to Everytown.

 

There is a direct correlation between states with weaker gun laws and higher rates of gun deaths, according to a study first published by Everytown in 2021. That relation is evident in Texas, where the number of mass shootings has tripled in the past five years, while mass shootings nationwide have nearly doubled from 2018 through the end of last year, according to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive (GVA).

Russians love it. 
They spent enough to create it, now they are getting what they paid for.

We're killing each other and we're ready to kill each other over the right to kill each other.

Prosecutor: Deputy fled during Parkland school massacre, putting own life ahead of students’

 

A Florida sheriff’s deputy fled to safety during the 2018 Parkland school massacre, putting his own life ahead of the children he was charged with protecting and giving the gunman time to fatally shoot several victims, prosecutors told jurors Monday during the closing arguments of his trial on child neglect charges.

 

Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson could have located and stopped Nikolas Cruz as he carried out his Feb. 14, 2018, attack inside the three-story 1200 building at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, prosecutor Kristen Gomes told the jury. But instead of opening a door, looking in a window or seeking information from fleeing students, he chose to take shelter next to an adjoining building, Gomes said. That prevented him from confronting Cruz before he reached the third floor, where six of Cruz’s 17 killings were committed.

 

Even if he hadn’t killed Cruz, his presence would have distracted him, giving students and teachers time to flee or hide, or caused him to surrender or commit suicide, she said.

 

“Choose to go in or choose to run? Scot Peterson chose to run,” Gomes said. “When the defendant ran, he left behind an unrestricted killer who spent the next four minutes and 15 seconds wandering the halls at his leisure. Because when Scot Peterson ran, he left them in a building with a predator unchecked.”

 

But Peterson’s attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, argued that Peterson is being made a “sacrificial lamb” for failures by elected officials and administrators. He said the evidence proves Peterson’s insistence that the gunshots’ echoes prevented him from pinpointing Cruz’s location is the truth and Peterson did everything he could under the circumstances. Criticizing his actions now is “Monday morning quarterbacking” using facts that were unknown to Peterson in real time.

 

He said the only person responsible for what happened that day is “that monster” Cruz. He said two dozen students, teachers and others testified that they also could not pinpoint where the shots were coming from — some of them from inside the building where the shooting happened.

Prosecution: We have more dirt on the Crumbleys. It's time to try this case.

 

In yet another push to send them to trial, the prosecution says it has more damning evidence on James and Jennifer Crumbley — the first parents in America to be charged in a mass school shooting.

 

With the historic case now in the hands of the Michigan Supreme Court, the prosecution has disclosed yet another round of blistering allegations against the parents, whose son killed four Oxford High School students and injured seven others in 2021, using a gun his parents bought him as a present.

 

In its latest court filing, the prosecution says it has “additional evidence” showing the Crumbleys were grossly negligent in the hours, days and months before the massacre, including:

 

Jennifer Crumbley disclosed in a recorded interview after the shooting that she paid little attention to the drawings that her son had made on a math worksheet on the morning before the shooting. The drawing included a gun, a bleeding body, and the words “The thoughts won’t stop, help me.” The Crumbleys were summoned to the school over the drawings, though Jennifer Crumbley — that same day — allegedly told an interviewer that she “didn’t even look at them closely.”

Then-Parkland school resource officer who stayed outside during mass shooting found not guilty

 

A jury has acquitted on all counts the former school resource officer who stayed outside during the February 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida – absolving him of wrongdoing in the rare trial of a law enforcement officer for his response to a mass shooting.

 

Scot Peterson, 60, took off his glasses and wept in court as the judge read off the verdict, finding him not guilty of seven counts of felony child neglect, three counts of culpable negligence and one count of perjury.

 

“I’ve got my life back,” Peterson, a former deputy for the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, told reporters outside court, describing the years since the shooting as “an emotional roller coaster.”

 

State prosecutors accused Peterson of ignoring his training and doing nothing as 17 people, including 14 students, were gunned down at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in what became the deadliest US high school shooting ever. His attorney argued the then-Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy didn’t enter the building under attack because he couldn’t tell where the shots were coming from.

I'm not sure I like this verdict but gotta respect the process.

 

A little too close to similar process for cops get acquited for shooting people that are unarmed...the process is broken...

 

It's people like this guy's job to protect people, so when courts protect them instead...wish I could agree with you, but can't here...

 

He got his life back, those kids that died didnt...
