Notable Quotes
“We have an investigation happening in Buffalo. Apparently, before this tragic incident occurred at the grocery store, advance warning was given to several people, one of which was a retired federal agent.”
— Tim Pool · opening story introduction
“It's remarkable to see left-wing activists just as outraged and for the same reasons as the rightists. Who would have thought this would be the thing that would unify us? But when kids lose their lives and police do nothing and bar people from saving them, I think a lot of people are going to be angry.”
— Tim Pool · Uvalde police criticism discussion
