Ted Cruz's "killer door theory" debunked. It was a gun and a gunman all along.

Cruz blamed doors and blamed the teacher.

My art is on Instagram @klonskyart.

Remember right after the massacre of 19 school children and two teachers and Texas Senator Ted Cruz said it wasn’t guns or the shooter who was responsible. Cruz blamed it on doors.

“If we want to talk about how we could have prevented the horror that played out across the street…the killer entered through a back door. An unlocked back door.”

Cruz’s killer door theory became a right wing talking point.

Anything to avoid talking about the uniquely American availability of guns and the paralysis that electeds suffer from when it comes to doing anything about it.

Not even background checks.

Without federal action guns easily flow across the border into Chicago, which has tough gun laws, from states like Indiana, which does nothing.

After the massacre of children and teachers at Robb, officials first blamed a teacher for blocking a door open.

I can only imagine what that teacher must have been going through this past week knowing they had done the right thing, but having those like the opportunist Senator Cruz blaming them.

They became one more victim of the crime. Aided and abetted by Senator Cruz and his ilk.

Four days after saying that the gunman who massacred children in a Uvalde, Tex., elementary school had gotten inside through a door“propped open by a teacher,” the state agency investigating the massacre now says the educator had closed the door.

The teacher shut the door behind her, but it “did not lock as it should,” Travis Considine, chief of communications with the Texas Department of Public Safety, said in a brief telephone interview Tuesday. “And now investigators are looking into why that was.”

This latest account came Tuesday, a week after a gunman slaughtered 19 children and two teachers inside Robb Elementary School in the country’s deadliest school massacre in nearly a decade. Authorities in Texas are facing criticism both for their response to the shooting and their public accounts of what happened, which have included statements, details and narratives that officials later amended, revised or withdrew entirely.

To me, even the debate and finger pointing about when the cops did or didn’t enter the building is missing the point.

There was an 18 year old already in a classroom killings kids with an AR15 he had bought along with another one along with body armor.

No questions asked.

Cops are to mass shootings as fire fighters are to houses on fire.

They arrive after the fact.

They arrive too late no matter when they arrive.
