Jackassery like this is how we will get the law they want.
Black shirt, khaki pants like the El Paso killer. Copycattery is running wild.
Doesn’t he look like the Dayton shooter?
[and a bulletproof vest]
He has a bulletproof vest? Under the shirt?
Nothing this idiot has done seems to be in violation of state law....
Where are all the open carry promulgators? Huh? Cricketts.
Unless there is more info that leads to some intent to do harm, this youth is likely well within his rights privileges and immunities under state law. Liberty requires responsibility as we clearly see here.
I routinely see open carry types in local settings- I observe them closely and make eye contact with them if possible. Usually not the most responsible looking folks, but well within their rights as far as anyone can tell.
Me, I prefer to look like a fairly clean cut gray haired middle aged guy in clean clothes with a untucked shirt.... preferring not to telegraph any qualities/capabilities that may be needed in the gravest extreme.
Politics, if this what it was about, are for armchairs and coffee tables, not the street where people can get hurt because of the their fears and anxieties.
Are there any laws stopping people from being a general dum-bass?
No 2nd-Amendment-supporting person would do this, and WHY isn't this idiot identified? HE WAS ARRESTED SO WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT IDENTIFYING HIM, HMMMMMM.... COULD IT BE WE MIGHT FIND HIS TIES ARE LEFTIST, ANTIFA, SOROS, DNC, ETC..????
Black shirt, khaki pants... didn’t know the Obama Fedeyeen had ever made the uniform official.
I read somewhere that this guy was using an arm brace.
Kinda weird that the last few murderers were doing their crimes with NFA items. Suppressors, SBRs, etc...
Is Walmart a funder of ThinkProgress?
The Think Progress blog started the Russiagate / NRA nonsense. In the same article they brought up Sandyhook.
Another deep state MK ULTRA zombie “wind-up toy”?
Only this time, the handler (communicator) perhaps got cold feet and backed out at the last minute for some reason, thus leaving the “zombie” toy unwound to twist in the wind with no command and/or direction.
Since Missouri is a “Constitutional Carry” state, I don’t see where the guy actually broke any laws.
However the firefighter may be guilty of unlawful detainer.
Or the stupid guy could be another leftist rabble rouser just trying to get people upset, knowing that he will get off due to not breaking any law.
Maybe Soros already gave him bail money and a lawyer.
The younguns in their twenties call that “cosplay” (for “costume play,” I’ve been informed). Maybe he should stick to playing spiderman or something, without the mask, of course.
She stopped for milk, but before exiting vehicle someone shouted: ‘Is that a real rifle?’

I can’t post any content from there due to USAToday/Gannett. But there’s a little more info there. Now, I’m even more suspicious that he was doing it for gun control.
Here we are. Check this out.
Witness reacts to armed man at Springfield Walmart

“She said the man seemed to keep his composure while walking down the hill towards police. “He didn’t seem angry, he didn’t seem crazy,” Belew said. “He was very cooperative and almost polite.”...”I think he had accomplished what he had set out to do by scaring people and causing panic.”
From some of the articles, the store manager activated the fire alarm and told the customers to evacuate the store immediately! ;-D
Nearly 100% of the posters to this article are responding as totalitarians, completely oblivious to the fact that the man with the gun was acting in a manner consistent with the law. We may not like a law that lets Negroes sit at the white lunch counter but it is the law. We may not like the law which permits Muslims to pray in public but it is the law. All of you who are shouting idiot and calling for this fellow to be jailed need to back up and recognize that what he did might well have been in poor taste but was fully legal. The firefighter seems to have committed assault with a deadly weapon among other crimes.
“... white man ...”
So, we’re identifying perps by their skin color now, so long as their skin color is white?
Good guy with a gun stops massacre. This is the only gun control we should be talking about. The government should ramp up the Civilian Marksmanship Program to make sure good guys are armed, and make CC reciprocal amongst all the states.
