  - That’s actually probably the main driver of this, tbh. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 12:56

From b3: Uvalde school board will decide on its police chief's firing Saturday. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 20, 11:42 3
- Are the choices: Fired or fired and executed? -- nm - Spawn Jul 20, 11:44 2
  - Since he hasn't been fired already and hasn't resigned, I honestly think they'll keep him. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 20, 11:50 1
    - The fact that it's 50-50 says a lot -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 11:59
