Stephan:   There is another aspect to the Uvalde, Tx murders that is not getting covered by the media and, unless you are familiar with weapons and their ammunition, would not even be thought about by most Americans. I am speaking here about the rounds of ammunition the killer, Salvador Ramos, purchased and used to kill the children and their teachers. He deliberately bought hollow point bullets. These are bullets with a little hole in their tip which, when they enter a body, expand to much greater size and literally chew their way through a body. In this case, with 10-year-olds as his targets, the damage was so great some of the children could only be identified through DNA tests, their faces were so mangled by the hollow point rounds they could not be identified by their parents. Now let me give you the evil truth about those bullets. The use of expanding rounds by soliders on the battlefield is a war crime. That's right. Ramos, backed by the Republican Party and the NRA used a bullet that causes such horrible damage it cannot be used on the battlefield in wars. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court bars their use, and they are prohibited by a declaration of the Hague Convention. Why did the police wait so long to accost the shooter? The reporters covering the Uvalde murders don't mention this but I think the answer is obvious; they were afraid. An AR-15 round travels at such a speed that it can penetrate the standard safety vests worn by police, chew up the body, and come out of the body with enough energy to pierce the vest on the back and still have enough power to kill a second policeman standing behind the first one. The Uvalde police and their commander knew all this, and so they waited nearly an hour while the children called over and over on their phones crying for help from the police.
