UVALDE, Texas (AP) — A Facebook spokesman says messages posted by the gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers at a Texas elementary school were private.

Andy Stone says the messages “were private one-to-one text messages that were discovered after the terrible tragedy.” He says Facebook is cooperating with investigators.
Gov. Greg Abbott described the messages at a news conference where he said the shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, used an AR-15 in the attack Tuesday at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.
About 30 minutes before the shooting, Ramos sent three social media messages. According to the governor, Ramos posted that he was going to shoot his grandmother, then that he had shot the woman, and finally that he was going to shoot an elementary school.
The Facebook moderators, or bots, or algorithms, or whatever, doesn’t automatically trigger when words like “shoot”, or “elementary school”, or “kill”, or words as such; they only flag words like the N word, or phrases like “a man is a man & a woman is a woman”, or “China Virus”, etc, and an actual person at Facebook reads it in real-time to decide the next step.
Tells us how stupid and incompetent people are that work there !! Fired them all
The shooter tells the world what he is gonna do
AND THE WORLD WAS SILENT
the shooter was a trans illegal immigrant who, while from a very poor family, somehow purchased a $60,000 truck, a $7,000 rifle and $800 optics setup immediately prior to the event. Who funded this person?
