The first few minutes have to be the most pathetic thing I’ve ever witnessed. The two school cops go to check on Ramos’ crashed truck. They notice that he’s armed and they scurry away like rodents. Ramos himself then calmly walks across a field and into the school. The two fleeing cops are no where to be seen.
The human animal is at his worst when among his peers. You can see it in this video, the throng of heavily-armed worthless pieces of human excrement can be seen reinforcing their decision not to go into the classroom. Parading around in their gear, mirroring the charade of faux competence amongst themselves. All the while, little kids who could’ve been saved bled out in the classroom. The killer had probably already blown his brains out half an hour before they mustered the speck of courage required to open the door.
The value of our character is only ever weighed during moments of crisis. This life is a test, through our decisions made amid crisis, and it is pass or fail.
