I have not heard any report of officers entering the Walmart in El Paso during the 20 minute shooting spree while he chased, targeted and killed people. Did they just wait for him to leave and catch him in a road block or car stop?
I said it yesterday here. No way he wrote that manifesto. Especially if it took him until 19 to graduate,
Now, I find out he was in special education. I know for a 100% fact now he did not write it. It was way way beyond his sophistication to write.
I caught that too.
Good catch. That graphic is from ABC News. Sure glad that they have an educated work force. /s
The police never fired a shot? Thus, didn’t enter or arrived after the shooting was over?
You’d be correct in that fact.
I live in Texas and many stores do allow guns. I spoke to a friend there today and we’ve both witnessed open carries which is fine by me. The only problem is and I relayed the story to him, one day down the road about a mile away I went into a Valero and I noticed as I walked in this pickup was running and a kid was in a car seat waiting in it. In the store I was behind a guy with an open carry and asked him” Is that your truck running out there (not mentioning the kid), what would you do if someone steals it. He said, “that’s what I got this for.” I thought are you fing crazy, your kids in the truck.
I will shop somewhere safer.
We need to cut the BS about the level of effectiveness of crazily over armed police and swat teams. It’s getting a little silly after one of these shootings seeing 150 cops standing around playing army with every last one of them dressed in full military gear with military weapons. Many of these guys were wearing night vision gear on their helmets, in the middle of the freaking day! It’s totally ridiculous and its being done for show. It’s police state intimidation. At a time when all we hear is red flag laws its time we look at crazily over armed police departments. We need to take it down and get rid of the military gear and armored cars and get back to wearing a blue uniform, a radio and focus on being peace officers in touch with the community instead of trying to lord over it.
“How Many Officers Entered Walmart in El Paso during the Shooting”
I’d guess at least one. That’s one more than entered LA during the LA riots in 1992.
These are the same Rambos who, according to our resident FR weenie defeatists, will go door-to-door and confiscate all our weapons.
“They arrived in six minutes.”
And then what for the next 14 minutes? How many people were shot in that interval? I smell a reticence to engage.
I want to know WHY no employees grabbed a gun & ammo behind the counter and started firing bacj
You would think that someone would have. In our walmart it would take 5 mins or less to have a loaded rifle or shotgun in my hands.
I suspect all of the guns for sale had trigger locks.
I carry all the time and flaunt those “Gun Free Zones” - if you don’t see it, I don’t have it.
Also....does anyone know if any Walmart employees were injured/killed during the attack? I haven’t heard and was just thinking about that.
Guy was totally stupid; what was he going to do or shoot at? I bet he wouldn’t shoot at the tires but try for the driver.
“It’s been reported that the El Paso police never fired their weapons. They arrested the killer at a stop light near Walmart when he surrendered.
Has anyone explained what exactly was happening in those 20 minutes he was shooting?Perhaps the police were following the old Columbine strategy of waiting for him to run out of bullets.”
And all we hear on the news is bow great the police did......spit.....
“Many of these guys were wearing night vision gear on their helmets, in the middle of the freaking day! It’s totally ridiculous and its being done for show. It’s police state intimidation. At a time when all we hear is red flag laws its time we look at crazily over armed police departments.”
And it takes them how long to suit up in heavy combat gear...meanwhile, people are getting shot.
“They arrived in six minutes.”
And then what for the next 14 minutes? How many people were shot in that interval? I smell a reticence to engage.”
Thank you. That is my point exactly. Did they take cover in parking lot and wait for more backup.... Something doesn’t fit.... and bragging about not firing a shot to capture him. Looks like he surrendered.
