Oh, So That's Why a Shooting at a Local ABC Station Got Buried

Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended indefinitely by ABC last week. Executives yanked the program off the air on September 17. Three days later, a local ABC station was fired upon. You’re not going to hear about it, especially after the suspect has been identified. His name is Anibal Hernandez Santana. So, not a white guy. The kicker is he’s also vehemently anti-Trump.

A Sacramento man was freed on bail after allegedly shooting into ABC10’s lobby — only to be quickly picked up by the FBI, according to authorities.

The FBI took Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, into custody Saturday on charges that he interfered with government-licensed broadcast communications, officials said.

The raving anti-Trumper is on a federal hold and ineligible for release. An FBI representative confirmed Hernandez Santana’s arrest in response to an inquiry from The Post.

Lock his murdering butt up. That bullet was meant for somebody. That was attempted murder.

I don’t know. The motive is kind of clear to me.

Ah, all is now clear. As an avowed communist, Santana was given an easily bonded bail, because shooting in an occupied building is
not indicative of murderous intent.

How dare the FBI hold this model democrat/communist citizen away from the sheeple.

Firing shots into any building, and bail is somehow an option?

How about NO.

Anyone who has shot a firearm should know the consequences of pulling the trigger. This is another level worse than irresponsible. It’s not a Nerf gun, not a toy.

Second, lacking motive I’d call it a terrorist attack. He should be in custody right now.

He worked in Democrat politics. Legislative something or other with California Federated Teachers.

It’s becoming more clear every day that the D party may be a death cult.

1) not a white male 2) Hispanic 3) Trump hater 4) former Democrat employee

Domestic terrorism? I think yes.

- “freed on bail after allegedly shooting into ABC10’s lobby”

Anyone hearing this in the 70’s or 80’s would be gobsmacked and outraged.

Now, almost half the population shrugs, or likes it.
