Waffle House Suspect's Ex-Bosses asked FBI to Detain, Help Him
KSTP.com ^ | 4/25/18 | AP

The co-owner of a Colorado crane company where the suspect in a deadly weekend shooting at a Nashville restaurant once worked said she had urged federal officials to keep him in custody after he was arrested at the White House last year.

Travis Reinking, 29, is accused of opening fire Sunday outside a Waffle House with an AR-15 rifle and then storming the restaurant, wearing only a green jacket. Four people were killed and four others were wounded in the shooting.

But Reinking had exhibited erratic behavior for years before the shooting. Darlene Sustrich, who co-owns a Colorado crane company where Reinking once worked, said they got a call from the FBI after he allegedly tried to jump the White House fence last July.

"We told them, 'Hang onto him if you can. Help him if you can,'" Sustrich said.

Well, they did give him an AR-15. I guess that’s help, FBI-style.

With 71% of their budget going toward the Russian Collusion hoax, you can’t expect them to spare resources to investigate this sort of thing ...

FBI calls the Clowns, they say they have someone for them to watch.

"Hillary's is gonna need some 'events' to take place to help her out with her planned gun-grabbing."

But then, Trump won. That's all right, we're gonna impeach him.

Could I also be delusional?

Sheesh, we should just comb through the list of the names on the FBI list that they ignored when they were warned and we can identify all the future criminals.

Sending guns across the border to demonstrate that our lax guns were to blame for cartel violence backfired on the ATF.

Maybe ignoring significant gun threats to our citizens to demonstrate how our lax gun laws contribut to mass shootings will backfire on the FBI.

That’s one drip. There are hundreds. Is anyone really surprised the FIB was complicit by their shenanigans? How else do you grow budgets, strip liberties of the people, reward friends, and scare Wal-Mart shoppers?

At the end of the article:

‘Tazewell County Sheriff Robert Huston said Jeffrey Reinking pledged he would “keep the weapons secure and out of the possession of Travis.” Don Aaron, a Nashville Police spokesman, said Reinking’s father “has now acknowledged giving them back” to his son.’

Memo to everyone in the future who may want to report someone to the fbi for suspicious activities, try to combine what the person is doing with Russian collusion and the FBI will be on that persons doorstep inside of 15 minutes.

I’m beginning to see a pattern here.

The pattern consists of people contacting the FBI about potential nutjobs who may go over the edge, and the FBI just throwing their hands up and not doing anything. Part of it may be state laws regarding how LEOs are allowed to handle mental cases, and part of it just may be that the FBI wants to be a reactionary agency with a political axe to grind.

Shooter threats, really.

God help us.

We need a Buford Pusser type FBI director. Get rid of Faye Wray and that less than useless AG Sessions.
