“White hispanic”?

[EagleUSA]

Another destroyed product of academia, social media, and the leftist hate agenda.

[Steely Tom]

They needed time to sanitize his internet and social media footprint.

[gaijin]

It’s going to make me sound suuuuper doctrinaire, super religious, which I’m not:

They ripped all God out of the schools.

And made dads redundant.

If we had just those two things back, I think 90% of this would after some time be gone.

[Kickass Conservative]

I thought the death count was three INCLUDING the Murderous SOB. He murdered a six year old child.

If anyone responds to a Lib who is calling this guy a Trump motivated White Supremacist, just tell them he was a Member of Antifa.

That will send them into a dither. Does not compute...

[Reno89519]

A white-hating white Hispanic? Anarchist, maybe Antifa? Probably not the latter since most are college educated.

Santino Legan is a self-identified Italian-Iranian.

[skimbell]

"...One witness told KTVU that he heard what he believed was 30 rounds...he saw a man...fire into the food area with what looked like an assault rifle..."

Doesn't sound lime they've got any sort of agenda going on here.

[BlackAdderess]

He ridiculed his Italian ancestry in that Instagram. He showed an unusually controversial white supremacist text with a Smoky the Bear image. He showed the family patriarch dressed up in Arabic clothing and not as the econ professor with the Anglicized name that he came to be.

I think this was about hating people, and most particularly people who have paved over land. I think the little loon would have liked nothing better than to inflame racial tensions in the hope that we all kill each other off.

In a related article at San Jose Mercury News, a person interviewed is quoted “I thought, we’re open prey. It was awful.” No surprise and wonder if they realize that the Gun free zone created this situation? And that their state’s anti-gun laws created this situation> Yes, open prey is exactly right.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And Politicians already are dancing in the blood calling for THIS type of gun control...

“Anyone posting a placard the Germans didn’t like would be liable for immediate execution, and a similar penalty was provided for those who failed to turn in FIREARMS or radio sets within twenty four hours.”—RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH by William Shirer. Page 782 my copy. Simon and Schuster. 1960

Well, lets see...California...
Must be 21 years of age to buy-Check.
Handgun registration-Check.
Registration of all rifles-check.
Ban on certain semi-auto rifles-check.
Background checks-Check.
Red Flag law-Check
Ten Day waiting Periods, -Check.
FBI checks-Check.
Only California approved hand guns allowed-Check.
Tax on ammo-Check.
Background check for ammo purchases-Check.
Gun free zone-Check.
Ban on large magazines-Check.
No private party transactions -Check.

So what is next without a total ban, and the fact a student in Russian Crimea murdered 19 fellow students last fall with a legally government approved shotgun proves government control of guns does not work.

Clearly they should have held the festival in a gun-free zone.

[KingofZion]

Thankfully the police executed him on the spot so we won’t need to waste millions on defense lawyers and incarceration. Unfortunately we have 700 more in San Quentin who will eventually be pardoned by Governor Grusome.

I'm sorry, but all the garlic in Gilroy couldn't cover up the stench of this incident. Consider:

1. To buy a rifle or a shotgun (excluding assault rifles banned under state law) you must be 21. To buy a handgun you must be 21. The shooter was listed as being 19.
2. The shooting occurred 20 minutes before the event closed. I've worked events like this, and the crowd is winding down in the last hour, except for the frat boys seeing how much beer they can consume. If this guy wanted to inflict maximum damage and chaos, he would have started shooting about 3 or 4 hours earlier, when the crowds were a lot larger.
3. The police engaged him within a minute of shooting. Unless they were specifically patrolling the perimeter fences, that's pure dumb luck. Unless you had foreknowledge.
4. The shooter was KILLED, not stopped in a non-lethal manner. Okay, if the shooter turned his gun on the police, but otherwise, I would think you don't want to kill him. Especially in this era of "Blue Bad".
5. The first we heard of this guy's identity was about 12 hours after the incident. Sounds like some group(s) needed to set up this guy's identity for maximum political gain before the public knew who he was.

Am I being somewhat conspiratorial? Maybe. But in this era (and area) where anything done by the "Big Bad Orange Man" in the White House is eeeeeeevil, call me a giant skeptic.

[Steve_Seattle]

If the book by "Ragnar Redbeard" (a pseudonym) is indeed a clue to the shooter's motives, then the shooter was a Nietzschean anarchist/socialist/social Darwinist who worshipped power and hated Christianity and Judaism.

In other words, the shooter's beliefs were mixed and ambiguous, and didn't fall neatly within our current left/right paradigm.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Have they identified his therapist yet? And, which psychotropics he was taking?
