Not going to name the shooter at this time, "Not going to give him the notoriety."

So who are the shooters in that picture? What is their criteria for "mass shooter"? Identify them and the source it came from. You have to do better than to spread some internet meme and present it as fact. [ETA] This is creating a false narrative. The cases we're talking about with one guy going apeshit and randomly executing people ARE young-ish white males aged 20-30 for the most part. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Stay away from Midland and Odessa? No problem, that area is depressing! It reminds me of a mad max movie setting.

So no new information will be given at this so called press conference. Just face time on tv for politicians and back patting for all involved.

So when do we find out it was some cartel shill View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
police chief said the name will be released just not here. If the real reason fit their agenda they would have run with it. "White supremacist goes on nra backed killing spree". Same reason they only publicize the trials of anyone fighting antifa. The narrative doesn't fit their agenda, so we wait while they either a) let it doe down enough that people forget or b) figure out how to scrub the fact that this guy is a democrat or an illegal alien or whatever it is. There is a very good reason he hasn't been identified. No tin foil needed for this one. |

Only reasons for not giving name of shooter or motive is to roll up others involved (not likely in this case) or to control the narrative.

I’m not buying the guy had a rifle. How can someone drive and shoot behind them or be agile while driving with a rifle? Wouldn’t a handgun be easier to deal with one handed? Also, this guy would have been driving around with a rifle on the front seat ready to go? It can be done. Ffs. Are you serious? |

Abbott alluded to the fact that the shooter was a prohibited person.

Fuck that police chief for not releasing the name and background on the shooter. Showboating. The name and background is necessary to identify where EXISTING laws failed. As it is, he left it open for speculative legislation while impugning all white males.

4 or more people. That's a pretty low threshold. Another reason it doesn't hold water is because most of them - as far as I can tell - had some kind of motive that "makes sense". Robbery. Domestic violence. Drug deal gone wrong. I'm not excusing the level of violence, but we're talking about mass shooters in terms of a guy with no relation to the victims just blowing his top and going out in a blaze of glory. The other people on that list don't fit the bill. Call it a societal problem to ignore the others, but we tend to over-dramatize things we don't understand, like a guy driving from Dallas to El Paso and shooting a bunch of people in Wal Mart. That is inherently more scary than a gang-related shooting where 4 people are killed. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

THE MEDIA TENDS TO OVER DRAMATIZE THINGS. I am all about facts too. The media wants their own set of facts. You can either use their own facts against them or not. If you cannot see the reasons this was posted, or why I am not sure what to tell you. But it is way past time to choose up sides. I am against the tin foil BS just like you. But this goes by REAL definitions and stats. NO WE DO NOT HAVE A WHITE MALE MASS SHOOTER PROBLEM. You can believe or not. But FACTS ARE FACTS. Believe them or not. ETA: I would also add I am extremely disappointed in your take on this matter. Not that you care, but real facts are real facts, and you tend to ask for them a lot. Once presented you don't like them? |

Face-to-face with the shooter, she describes his weapon as "a very large gun." Very believable eye witness who the shooter pulled up next to. View Quote |

FBI stating no known terrorism links. This is looking more like a long time felon just snapped.

Totally meaningless, self-aggrandizing "press conference."
"A lot of questions we just don't have answers to..." HOW ABOUT THE NAME AND BACKGROUND OF THE SHOOTER??? |
|
|
I agree with their decision not to name the son of a bitch in the press conference. I would never utter his name on camera. Well, maybe his first and last name - Cock Sucker. His name will be out shortly, anyway. That's when the focus shifts completely away from the locals who handled the event, to the gun he used, his background, and how it all can be exploited by liberals to get rid of guns.

AR weapon used. Not sure how he obtained it, obviously a felon.

It's amusing how many people think the size of the gun has any relation to the firepower. An Olympic biathlon rifle is pretty damn big, but it's the least powerful rifle you can buy. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
