Even if he is the shooter (or one of them) he still smells like a patsy to me.

[circlecity]

That’s quick for DNA. I bet he left all the spent brass covered with his fingerprints along with the rifle he purchased over the counter. They could trace both of those fast.

[muir_redwoods]

Pardon me but that’s “clothing often used by birthing people”. Let’s not risk being offensive.

Re: “ attempt to conceal himself, “

How do they know that was the motivation?

[Boogieman]

You sure he wasn't just a fan of the popular anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

[gundog]

The expression “ couldn’t get laid in a women’s prison” popped into my head.

[bankwalker]

wore women's clothing in an attempt to conceal himself,

... how could they possibly know that this is the reason?

[Valpal1]

The real question is how did his DNA get into the system in the first place?

They said the weapon was legally purchased, which means he had no criminal record... which is one way to get your DNA into the system. The other is to be a victim, particularly of sexual assault.

Oh come on now, he was just re-enacting Jefferson Davis’s attempt to escape...

[dirtymac]

Was he shouting ‘Rebecca’ while he was shooting???

[CatHerd]

If true, it goes to show he was a cowardly little wuss, trying to conceal himself in girlie clothing to escape. And after he made those videos of himself going out in a blaze of glory in a suicide-by-cop scenario.

He comes across in his photos as theatrically androgynous. David Bowie seems to have pioneered that look, then it was taken up by other rock groups and music stars. Now it appears to be mixed in with anime styling and other weirdness.

He also comes across as just downright bizarre and creepy.

“ attempt to conceal himself, “How do they know that was the motivation?”

Probably because in the panic and chaos of a mass shooting from a rooftop, the cops are going to be looking for a guy in male clothing, because mass shooters are almost always male-not what appears to be a woman-in female clothing, hair, etc-it is probably why he left the rifle instead if carrying it with him-so he could blend in better with the confusion on the scene and get away-it seems logical-and it worked for several hours, too...

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

He’ll plead guilty to avoid death, say he’s a woman, be sent to woman’s prison and this Incel will finally get laid.

I think Illinois has done away with the death penalty. This guy would get punked out even in a womens prison.

[LibertyWoman]

Somebody needs to put a montage of pictures of mass shooters together. They all look weird.

[piasa]

There is one song that seems to hint at abuse.

[mykroar]

That made my laugh.

[piasa]

This shooter was apparently a fan of Breaking Bad.

[CatHerd]

Apparently not such a good disguise, though, as initially the shooter was described as a slightly built young white male 18-20 years old, with long dark hair?

What is your picture? For some reason my system is not showing anything but a thumbnail size blue square. tia
