The shooter who killed three people and wounded at least 11 more has been identified as Santino Willian Legan, a described Iranian American.
Legan had an Instagram account on which he shared only three photos. One of the photos depicted Ali Asghar Vahabzadeh, Legans maternal grandfather.

That’s what they are saying but I saw somewhere else that he was an Iranian American. Nobody says a word when it’s a black or muslim shooter.

“””Gilroy Shooter Identified as Iranian-American With Islamic Imagery on Instagram”””
If true, this will certainly squelch MSM reporting.

I bet the 4 days ago is fake, that it was actually uploaded after the assault, but they went with 4 days because backdating any further would make it easier to prove the fraud.

He is indeed revered by secular leftists. I consider him both evil and, ultimately, insane (like Hitler).

"Someone spends too much time hanging around the Lenin monument there in Seattle."
I don't care if this comment is deleted, but screw you. I was born and raised in Seattle years before it became the leftist bastion that it has now become. You are a bigot, someone who judges people and generalizes about them and condemns them based on where they happen to live. You ought to be a leftist, it fits you. If I were a Southerner, and you were a liberal, you'd have the same mentality that you have now, judging people based on where they come from.
As for the Lenin statue, I've seen it exactly once in my lifetime, when I attended a memorial service for my mother two years ago at a funeral home right across the street from it.

"Interesting that the book is anti-Semitic, and doesnt condemn Islam..."
That's because 100 years ago people weren't thinking about Islam as something relevant to their lives; it was something far away.

I've found that trying to be rational and stick to the known facts will get you slammed by some people on here.
To: miss marmelstein
"Oh, you know all this as fact?"
I based my comments on reasonable inferences based on the contents of the specific book that the shooter recommended. Most of the people slamming me - including you - have based their opinions on NOTHING but a HOPE that this was an act of Islamic terrorism. I have no reason or desire to defend Islamic terrorism, but I will not call something Islamic terrorism until there is solid evidence for it. Some of you don't need facts.

FOX Radio news is totally leftist. Im have no idea who writes it.

California law is that all firearms purchasers must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a long gun (rifle or shotgun) That WAS the law until a few months ago; now, you have to be 21 to purchase a long gun.

Hope? You need a psychiatrist! You made a lot of inferences with no facts and then are angry that there is pushback. I hope to live in a world free of islamic terrorists and teenage terrorists - especially when they may come together as one.

The guns Legan purchased were done in Nevada. In Nevada you must be at least 18 years of age to buy a rifle or shotgun and 21 to buy a handgun from a federal firearms dealer.

“The book he recommended was written by a late 19th-century - early 20th-century Nietzschean Social Darwinist who worshiped the “strong man,”
Bzzzzt! Wrong. The book was a red flag waving literary manual that glorified the “strong man” socialist state. These red flag peckerheads invaded the US as immigrants from Eastern Europe en masse between 1890 and 1920.

The shooter was just another hateful, lost young man who grabbed onto radical ideas wherever he could find. He did not have a coherent worldview other than hate and resentment. I agree. Freepers can get pretty stupid on these types of events, finding Islamic terrorism under every bush.
The only "Islamic imagery" at the source article that I saw was a photo of his grandfather in traditional Persian attire.
When Muslims commit acts of violence in the name of Jihad, they shout their motives from the rooftops for all to hear. There is no need to read tea leaves to divine what happened.
