Texas mass shooter had record of criminal trespass and evading arrest
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 01, 2019 06:35 PM | Zachary Halaschak

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.

I didnt say ONE WORD about the PHOTO.
I addressed the biographical VERBIAGE posted by YOU in your post #9 which IS from MyLife, a notoriously idiotic source.

I stand by my comments about MyLife bios.
They don’t belong here.
Stop posting them, and stop playing bait-and-switch.

That police/court record is sufficient to keep him from purchasing a firearm under existing law.

Evidence? This is the internet! We don’t need evidence. Apparently he’s one of those Jewish Jihadists I’ve been hearing about.

I doubt he had any children at all.

Of everything in his history they list, the most significant is that his parents divorced when he was 4.

“That screen shot is from MyLife, which is so unreliable that what you posted might be the exact opposite of what is real.”

I hear that! Mine said I was of Middle Eastern dissent and had court records. Neither was true. I emailed them and told them to remove my MyLife which they did one week later.

Don't be fooled. Mylife pages are easily edited, and those entries were not there earlier in the month.

Thanks to another alert FR member, here is a link to what purports to be a cached copy of the Mylife entry from before the rampage.

For the most part these guys all have history’s their family or others can create in such a way as to give the impression they’re not really fully to blame for their actions.

But as I see it they’re fully aware when they pick up guns and start shooting people they know without a doubt that this can kill people..and their intentions to do.

So regardless of their history they are murders who knowingly gun down people.

So, who knew to cache this before the shooting started?

That kind of caching gets done by google servers crawling the web looking for content, I doubt the server doing that has any idea about the future value of what it is caching.

After he was shot, he could no longer be on Facebook.

No dad at home after age 5. Another one of those common denominators that serves as a contributing factor.

From the word, 'descend' (descendants).
