Breitbart ^ | 04/23/2023 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 04/23/2023 8:25:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The family of the portfolio banker who opened fire on fellow employees, killing five in Louisville on April 10, 2023, has released a statement calling for passage of more gun control.

The Daily Mail report the statement, wherein the Sturgeon family said, “This tragedy is yet another indication that meaningful, common sense gun safety measures must be enacted.”

that’s my question and feeling too- the whole “manifesto” is just too fed anti “weapons of war” writing- maybe he wrote it, but I just have my doubts-

I see he is a terrorist. Don’t negotiate with terrorist or their handler/ supporters.

“From what I read he did it to show gun control was needed.”

I’m sure his victims would appreciate that. Unfortunately they aren’t available to comment.

So, If we won't disarm ourselves, they will get guns and kill us.

To Hell with these people, and all of the useful idiots who support them.

"Have we been able to read Sturgeon's manifesto? The Louisville police have it, but have they released it? "

Read the DailyMail article. It's obvious they have it, now how did they get it? And how did they get it "exclusively".

  • Connor Sturgeon got his suicide wish as stated in his 13-page manifesto when he was shot dead by cops as he opened fire at a bank in Louisville on April 10

  • According to the missive, Sturgeon, whose family revealed was on medication, wanted to highlight the country's mental health crisis

  • Louisville bank shooter Connor Sturgeon wrote a chilling manifesto before slaughtering five senior executives at the branch where he worked, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

  • The 13-page missive describes his goals before the horror at the downtown Old National Bank, where the 25-year-old livestreamed the massacre on Instagram as he gunned down co-workers at their morning conference.

  • Sturgeon made three key points in the manifesto, which is in the hands of the police: he wanted to kill himself, he wanted to prove how easy it was to buy a gun in Kentucky and he wanted to highlight a mental health crisis in America.

And his views on gun control aligned with his father’s views.

Both of Nashville’s recently notorious spree shooters had parents that favor gun control. Are they lobbying the Tenn. legislature in support of red flag laws? Would that have stopped their offspring? Did they know something and not speak up? Were their nutso kids expected to turn themselves in?

Sorry, morons, my guns, Mrs D's and our kids' guns are in control, in the gun safe. Criminals will get guns from criminals. You think criminals will obey gun laws?

You don’t get to shoot us and then disarm us.

That is one of the most succinct statements against gun control I have ever read.

They need to be held accountable for not addressing their son’s mental health issues adequately.

Using guns as an excuse is inexcusable.

These are the same folks who said their kid was “working through” some mental issues? Seems like they were not really in tune to how broken this scumbag really was. Guns dont kill people… broken people kill people.

This guy murdered 5 people to push the Gun Grabber Agenda so now his family is trying to do push the same agenda after his death.

The best thing to do would be to not honor his wishes.

Why was he fired from the bank, why was he under psychiatrist care, what medications were prescribed. Did his manifesto say, “the gun made me do it”? Many questions that led this guy to grab a gun and kill people. Where was the doctor in all this, certainly he must have recognized some homicidal or suicidal issues, what did he do to try and prevent this? And the mother’s “too late” 911 phone call, what happened between them and how long did she wait?

His family doesn’t want to admit it, but they should, that their son was taking antidepressants or some kind of medication to deal with his mental issues. These drugs are very powerful, and there is most definitely a link between SSRIs and mass shootings. There is a suicidal tendency for some people when they take SSRIs. I would love for this elephant in the room to be addressed. They are dangerous drugs that are handed out like candy, that don’t address the root cause of the problem the individual has.

I wonder if the young man was on SSRIs or ADHD meds. You can be a nice person, and be taking these very dangerous drugs. I think the drugs are harmful personally. Concussions notwithstanding, if that young man was taking them, it needs to come to the forefront of these discussions. How about we start talking about mental illness in this country?

I agree that we have a mental health crisis that we are not addressing appropriately. We are medicating people without helping them tackle the demons they have. We aren’t really addressing the root traumas. Take a pill and all will be better is the angle. It just doesn’t work.

"He is from my area. My daughter for example lived 2-3 doors down from him 3 years ago. I have a friend that just can’t believe he is an evil guy. Just a nice kid with a concussion that couldn’t help himself."

Then you know the family is trying to influence Kentucky law from another state! They should have to register as lobbyists!
