Extremely bad timing after someone opened fire in an El Paso Walmart in the same profile
In the current antigun hysteria, Demitri determined that it was time to demonstrate reality. He actually pointed out to hysterical wacko gunhating democrats that one could wear a war vest and carry a loaded firearm into a walmart to go shopping.

They had it coming.
