The story of Uvalde is primarily one of complete catastrophic failure of law enforcement. The police stood outside and let the shooter run amok, and did everything they could to stop desperate parents from trying to rescue their kids. Really dark stuff.

The story of Uvalde is the Right's solution to gun violence is more guns. The "complete catastrophic failure of law enforcement" is simply an anecdotal refutation of the "good guy with a gun" myth which they fought as their actual enemy. The enemy isn't the shooter, the enemy is anyone who'd kill their myths.

The specific west wing moment Pete was thinking of in The West Wing is almost certainly during "Posse Comitatus" where Governor Ritchie and Bartlet share a brief conversation during the intermission of War of the Roses. Governor Ritchie hears that CJs bodyguard is shot and killed and he responds "Crime, boy, I don't know" and then proceeds to call him a smug superior son of a bitch. Bartlet ends the conversation by saying "If in the future you're wondering, 'crime, boy, I don't know' was when I decided to kick your ass. Fantastic moment in a show about the politics that we all wish existed. Very much a similar emotional beat to that real world moment. When the absence of moral leadership becomes so clear, sometimes people feel compelled to step up to the plate.

You mean the one where the accuser ended up retracting and admitted to having been *paid* by a GOP SuperPAC to exaggerate - the same one that literally just involved him putting his hand on the back of the wife of a couple who took a picture with him - and that was ridiculously overblown during the peak of the #MeToo movement, when everyone was overreacting? The one where he was totally vindicated and where the voters who reacted to the hoax were interviewed a year later and regretted being fooled by the fake story? That "sexual harrassment"?
