“Still shooter has not been identified, but he was driving a gold Honda.”

I’ve always been suspicious of them./sarc

Odessa Police Chief Michael Gerke: “You’ll notice I’m not naming the subject, and there’s a reason for that. I refuse to. I’m not going to give him any notoriety for what he did," he said.

Aha! So, we're all wrong. The police aren't releasing the name because they don't want to "give him any notoriety."

So the police aren't going to release it, and if they had their way, it would never be released. To hell with the citizens' right to know. Presumably citizens have to have access to certain information in order to make informed decisions at the ballot box. But to hell with all that nonsense.

I bet he was an illegal. Maybe a cartel member with no ID on him and the car is either stolen or registered to someone else. Drug runner, maybe dealer, or just a dumbass gang banger.

In any case the world is a better place today without him in it.

"It’s very easy to disagree with that position. A tyrannical government is the very reason we have the 2nd amendment and why it shall not be infringed."

Wasn't speaking of the 2nd Amendment. Was referring to everybody walking around while strapped. With today's culture, it would make Tombstone look like a Montessori school. More events like this would be taking place.

My God man, haven't you ever gotten behind somebody in the EXPRESS LINE with more than 15 items?? ;)

The 2nd amendment allows that. Arizona has had open carry for decades, so why isn’t this happening there?

Dollars to donuts it will have O’bastard and Bernie bumper stickers plastered all over it.

This whole “I don’t want to give him any notoriety” shtick is PURE COW DUNG!

The perp is DEAD and likely in Hell, he doesn’t give a whit about “notoriety”.

So THE QUESTION is this:

W H A T do the “authorities” K N O W, and W H Y ARE THEY HIDING IT FROM THE PUBLIC?

This smells like Las Vegas all over again.

The victims and their families, the people of Texas, and the people of America demand answers, not the “dog and pony ‘runaround’ show” the “authorities” gave us all today.

The so-called “press conference” was a disgrace. And everyone knows it.

My wife does carry hers in her car, but not her purse.


El Paso was the tipping point for me. Having a CHL/LTC in my wallet and a pistol in a locked drawer at home was going to give me nothing but bitter regret if my number comes up and I get to be the one cowering behind a produce bin. I’d rather be a sheep dog than a sitting duck.

It is also shocking the number of times I hear that the shooter is able to continue firing for minutes on end, picking off victims and feeding off of people’s terror. If there were several armed citizens on the scene who could get into positions to return fire, it would be over a lot more quickly and hopefully with many fewer causalities.

Interesting article about ATF confiscating semi-auto AA12 shotguns that they have now decided are machine guns.
I guess if a piece of plastic like a bump stock can be a machine gun, anything can.

From Psychology Today:

When crimes that receive a lot of attention form clusters of this sort, it suggests that the desire for media attention, and notoriety is a strong motivating factor (4). Generally speaking, journalists and social media writers are unwilling to accept that sensational coverage of mass shootings makes these crimes more common (3).

The media will never accept that they've been a huge part in creating this problem.

Frankly, I think they've gone well out of their way the last few years to promote as many mass murders as possible because of their deranged "orange man bad" mentality. Anything to try and give the Dummycrats a leg up in the upcoming election and remove President Trump. That's what they're doing.

This sh*t will only change when we start storming TV stations, CNN, MSNBC and drag the progressive libtards out of their studio's while live and on-air.

That's what it's going to take. We're at that point.
