A rising number of journalists in Uvalde, Texas, are being barred from covering the consequences of the gun massacre at Robb Elementary School, which killed 19 elementary students and 2 teachers.

Terrified People

People are now terrified to talk with the media after a mom of two Robb Elementary students claimed she was threatened that they would arrest her if she told journalists about how she hurried to the institution to save her kids.

The Incidents

The motorcyclists confronting journalists in Uvalde, Texas, come as the city’s administrators are increasingly being accused of stonewalling the press. A number of biker motorcycle gangs told the journalists that they were around at the policeman’s request. To be frank, the reporters have never been able to get confirmation from the police, who have told them (reporters) that they (police) invited them (bikers).

The cops have continued to bar journalists’ access and harass them. A law enforcement officer reportedly confronted one of the photojournalists. And they aren’t even Uvalde police officers.

Newsgathering: A Constitutional Right

Journalists are being aggressively prevented from doing their duties by the authorities. The freedom to obtain information is protected by the Constitution. As a result, at some time, this will devolve into governmental oppression. As a result, the journalists are consulting with their legal team to determine whether there is any form of legal recourse available to them.

People deserve to know the real story. It is necessary to tell the tragic narrative. However, law enforcement personnel and other concerned authorities want this tragedy to be forgotten. The question is: Why do they want people to know nothing? What could be the reason? It is probably because the concerned authorities do not want people to know the story of a failed administration who failed continuously to save its people.
