Faulkner played with language in innovative ways that had previously never been explored. He left the stodgy, flowery writing style that preceded the modernist era for something utterly unique, even in modernist circles. For one, he has a single, grammatically correct sentence of 1288 words. That sentence has a rhythm to the prose that feels like running a long distance, footfalls of pace and sound. He also used colloquial language to great effect, and as far as The Sound and The Fury, his use of multi-voiced narration, and alternate perspectives was considered groundbreaking (he initially wanted to use color-coded to pages to differentiate the narrative voices.).

>I don’t know what you are thinking in your head but most of the people who get arrested and charged with crimes are in fact normal people with lives, families, friends, and even jobs. People who break the law are not some anomalous breed of human.

Well this just isn't true at all. Its not even close to true. Most people who get arrested have a long history of arrests. How many times have you been arrested? Never? No kidding. The guy who killed the cop in this article:

"The suspect, William Shae McKay, 44, of San Bernardino County, had a long and violent criminal history stretching back to before 2000 that included kidnapping, robbery and multiple arrests for assault with a deadly weapon, including the stabbing of a California Highway Patrol dog, the sheriff said."

Have you ever walked a block in a dangerous neighborhood? Because in a lot of places, 3/4 of the people you pass on the street have criminal records, some of them pages long.

?? The police solved the case. It's the DA's Office that decides to charge or not charge. Kim Foxx refuses to charge these cases and uses every loophole she can find to keep these gangsters out of jail. The Police Union and Mayor Lori Lightfoot have both lodged formal complaints against the DA's Office for not prosecuting violent crimes using the "mutual combat" exception.

It took 37 minutes from plan to prep to execution. That's not a lot of time at all considering it was no longer an "active shooter" but a "barricaded suspect" situation. A barricaded suspect can use hostages as shields, or bargaining chips by threatening to kill a number of them. Breaching a barricaded suspect is not the same as going in and taking down a gunman strolling the halls. Fact is, that's what they should have done long before the suspect barricaded himself with hostages. And its what Arredondo refused to order.

Visual evidence. In other words: we saw lots of people not shooting at the suspect. What a load of shit. It was absolutely the fault of the Police Chief. He's supposed to have all the intel and has the rank to deploy as he sees fit. If he tells the police/border patrol/ SWAT/ that they shouldn't engage...they assume there's a reason. That's how rank works. In the end, it was a border patrol agent who had enough of being held back and stormed the school, getting shot in the head for his troubles...against the chief's orders. https://www.ksat.com/news/local/2022/05/26/images-show-injury-of-border-patrol-agent-who-exchanged-gunfire-with-uvalde-school-shooter/
