Texas mass shooter had record of criminal trespass and evading arrest

Details are beginning to emerge about the gunman who killed seven and injured at least 19 others during a shooting rampage in Odessa and Midland, Texas on Saturday.

The suspect, identified as 36-year-old Seth Ator, had a criminal record dating back to his teenage years.

In 2002, Ator pleaded guilty to criminal trespassing and evading arrest, both misdemeanors in Texas. He avoided jail time but received two years of probation according to public records, which indicate the crimes took place in McLennan County. Adjudication was deferred in the case, which can be granted to first-time offenders and allows a conviction to be kept off of one’s record.

He also got a traffic citation in 2018 for a federal motor carrier safety violation while in Ector County, the same county in which Odessa is located.

According to ABC 25, Ator was from Lorena, Texas, a small city of about 1,500 people located in the Waco metropolitan area in the central-eastern part of the state. People who knew Ator said that he graduated from Lorena High School in 2001, a school that currently enrolls about 570 students. People in the area said they had lost touch with the Ator family over the past five years.

Ator’s parents divorced in 1987, and his mother and father now live in Amarillo and San Antonio respectively, according to Heavy. He reportedly has one sister, and his family has long roots in Texas.

So if our justice system was tightened up this guy would have been prevented from buying legally. AND the Democrats want to turn all the criminals loose and be even more lenient than it already is. Logical conclusion is that Democrat Policies / Platform is and will be responsible for these kind of incidents.

On Twitter they are saying...

On YouTube they are saying...

Either he did or he didn't.

I mean, he's probably one of them. He looks like a half-baked stoner incel, but c'mon, let's gather a little bit of evidence here.

I am wondering if the Texas police have dashcams. I video of the original traffic stop would show any bumper stickers.
