threatening. spaces online and real life where conservatives feel they get shut down for voicing unpopular views and where political correctness and wokeness force them to walk on pins and needles or just keep quiet for fear of getting cancelled. to put it mildly they don t like safe spaces, okay, they really, really hate them, but what s happened on the right and specifically inside the republican party in the last couple of decades is that their sense of victimhood and frankly fear and rage at an increasingly diverse country where they aren t automatically at center of everything, where other communities have gotten a chance to be focused on, like hollywood and books and in the culture and have elected political leaders who look like them, president obama, kamala harris and the guy recruited on to the bad list for being associated with both of them, joe biden. their anger has frankly corroded into something more like hate. to the point where they, even as the my north. only
cnn has not been able to confirm if that voice was a student, but the man who recorded the video says the audio came from the dispatch radio in a customs and border protection vehicle. we are also hearing today for the first time from an off-duty border agent who ran to help when his wife, a fourth grade teacher, texted him. that agent was getting a haircut when the shooting happened. so he borrowed a gun from his barber and raced to the school. he ended up outside the door the gunman was behind. he had no tactical gear. here s what he says happened next. i was there at the door fixing to go in. once again, i didn t have any gear. i wouldn t have been a smart move for me. all those guys had their gear and stuff, so like i said, i pulled back. obviously there s a lot of scrutiny about the police response. what s your take on all of that? to me, i believe everyone there was doing the best they could given the circumstances. yeah. i believe everyone there was doing every
now hearing from that border patrol agent who ran into the school giving us a little more information about what happened that day, but why do we still not know everything about what went on outside that classroom? it s coming out in drips and draps, small pieces. is that hurting the investigation and public perception? well, the public perception, i don t think it s going to hurt the investigation. it makes it even more important that that investigation take place, the doj is planning. it needs to be thorough and deplete. the only way we re going to get an accurate and verified timeline and know exactly who did what when is through this investigation. which obviously is not just about the incident at the school. they re also going to have to take a look at the gunman, how he obtained a gun. leading up to the actual shooting and in the events in the immediate aftermath. so i m looking forward to that investigation, but it s going to be a while before it s actually available. right.
from the mother to the son saying, quote, ethan, don t do it. perhaps hours after they left the school, knowing that he perhaps may have had the weapon in his bag, so all of this obviously very chilling. when you also listen to what the school could have done and the issue that prosecutor says yes, she is angry over it, but it s not only her, but people in this community. we ve been here all week talking to law enforcement officials, sheriff deputies who ran into the school when word got out that shots were fired and what they saw and the anger they have towards the school for not doing more. it s just chilling when you really take a listen to everything that went on here and what could have been done possibly to prevent so much of this. there were so many red flags, so many. many things that people could have done. thank you, shimon prokupecz. let s discuss now with former fbi special agent and lecturer at yale university and andrew mckay, former deputy director of
there s possibly civil liability. but as i mentioned before, ana, michigan doesn t have red flag laws, which red flag laws allow for law enforcement to take action when they are notified that someone might be about to engage in violent behavior using a firearm, by removing a firearm from a home. i think the teachers and administrators did what they were supposed to do here, to raise the flag, go to the parents and show the parents and expect them to take action. it s possible that the school could have, for example, expelled the student from the school, but that is a very high bar, and i m not sure what school s policies are there. this child has been charged with terrorism, which i think is also unusual. we don t usually see that in school shooting cases. it illustrates the difficulty with these cases on the one hand you don t want to treat it like
