El Paso Mall shooting

[DaveTN]

They are saying shooter in custody. "many" victims...15-20 rumored.

[Quavodus]

 I feel bad for all the victims. Correct me if I'm wrong but , if more than one person witnessed the shooter, his case cuts through a lot of red tape right? He does not sit on death row for 20 years. Texas law.

They just mentioned an AK 47......

One of our guys (firefighter) heard three guys, one mag each. Guess we'll find out.

Lol, is he on the scene? 

[Garufa]

It’s starting to sound like the shooter is another crazy, racist, white boy.  This time with an AK.  Just damn.

Wasnt the Gilroy shooter also using an AK? No doubt copycat. The patter of copycatting is pretty clear with how quickly the next mass shootings happen. Wish the media would stop giving these whackadoodles a stage. They see the last guy and his air play and then go out and do this.

Beto is already using this for a call for "military style rifle" bans.

[DaveTN]

Only one shooter. I don't think its clear what he used; other than a rifle.

Here's how stupid this stuff is. A senior Fox Reporter just said that an AK-47 is typically a Eastern European weapon and not commonly found in the United States; so it probably wasn't that. 

I don''t know why some appear to be more interested in the type of weapon that the victims. We know its going to be a semi-auto rifle.

I think you are right. Unless things have changed Texas and Florida are in a race to see who can execute more people.

They have him on surveillance camera entering the store.  It is clearly an AK pattern rifle.

That's at least the second fatal shooting at a Walmart this week.

Earlier today the El Paso CBS affiliate reported gang terrorism, but that reference has been removed saying a white male is in custody.

That takes center state for the sad and unfortunate political environment we have with the left biased media. The facts and the poor victims dont really play for them, they are ghouls and seem to get excited by being able to put the silhouette of an AR on their posts and broadcasts. They chomp at the bit to do this and its obvious in stories as soon as they can confirm it. The AK silhouette probably is less effective for them, but they are playing up the military assault weapon aspect since non gun owners think commercial rifles are the same thing the military use.

Their obvious motivation is to promote the gun control agenda. Not about solving the issue. Beto O'Rourke wasted no time in finding out the weapon and then  playing his home town El Paso card, started immediately speaking to the crowd in Vegas about bans. 

If you look at cases where it was not an evil black rifle or a "military style" rifle, you almost never hear any discussion of the weapon, or you have to really search. Usually its a gratuitous mention of the caliber only.

Sorry to soapbox this, but the media has no idea how they are helping promote this violence and this kind of obvious political motivation is maddening.

Evening news says: Young man, early 20s. Picture shows a AK type rifle in his hands. Taken into custody without incident. No shots fired by Police. Brief mentions of the words "socialist" and "manifesto". 

I'm guessing that what we have here is crazy young man with a agenda he wants to spread. I'm also guessing he intends to use his trial as a platform.

In the press conference I just watched, they're not saying the pictures out are accurate. They suggested the pics might not be from the shooting. I haven't seen ANY pics yet.

[Sunfish]

Another nut job with no regard for human life. I'm afraid the misery of his actions will cause a great deal of grief long after he gets the needle. He needs to get some Hell on earth before he goes to the real one.

[DaveTN]

He just turned 21 this week. Dang man, that's a short period of time to be that messed up.

Hope we have some good folks upcoming in the mental health field; they may be the only hope for some.

Hmm... I thought it a bit odd today when the mayor (I think?) said several times that antifa wasn’t welcome there for their planned upcoming rally. I wonder if there is some connection that they know of.

What's to organize ? I didn't tune in to local news until 6 last night but by 7pm I knew what brand of underwear the el Paso shooter liked to wear.

My point is the media helps to feed these maniacs that might be sitting there contemplating doing a similar act. 

[Fourtyfive]

I would not be surprised to hear of another one today. The media is on fire and as you say, copycats will prob come out of the wood work....what a wus, muffs so he doesn’t hurt his ears....

Social Media is the is the real epidemic.

The amazing thing about this is there is ZERO mention or focus on that fact that all of this whackadoodles post up on social media before they go do this and their AGE. Outside the Las Vegas shooter, they are all young social media addicts who are clearly insane. Its so simple. Shut down Facebook, Twitter, and related social media platforms and this pretty much goes away. Or at a minimum, shut them down in the US.

The overnight shooting, again we see the same pattern and the left media chomped at the bit to throw out '.223 high capacity rifle 'with addition high capacity magazines at the beginning of the article before getting to actual pertinent details. As awful as these events are, their emphasis says they do not care about the event, rather that they can promote their anti gun agenda. 

It should also involve getting media to stop sensationalizing it and adding their bios. They should never be allowed to put the persons name or details. If these whacks saw that they don't get notoriety.

Here's what I think is odd. He just killed 20 people, wounded 26 more and only ONE cop escorting this guy????????

Casually walking down the street?????

Really?????

C'mon....

I guess since he willingly surrendered to police they figured he was no longer a threat. He had done what he set out to do and I am willing to bet if he would have tried anything stupid the escort officer would have killed him.....JMHO
