From the original 9news report on YouTube:

"The captured shooter has been identified as Mohammed Alam, an Iranian immigrant. The identity of the other shooter is still unknown, Oates states."

So, if most of those in the theater had been armed..........

And now I wonder. Is it a waste of the day if I’m Biden my time?????

[thesearethetimes...]

Bump

[bigheadfred]

Pretty snippy ....what’s up your a$$?

This is going to do wonders for the "Chicago weekend body count" pool we have at work.

[no-to-illegals]

All theaters I have attending to kick in the door would have caused quite a commotion. Not buying door was kicked in.

[Toespi]

I heard this mohammed alam was the name the perp gave to the police when he was arrested.

Do you have a problem with questions being asked?

No, not at all but your comment was as if that was the actual facts...that the guy came in the back door..No one knows if this actually happened other than internet misinformation which is going like gangbusters right now.

"Just heard an eye witness account on the radio. He said the door was kicked open."

Heard that as well, but wondered how that would be possible. Doors in buildings such as that only open outwards.

[bigheadfred]

No. Yeah. What? Really?

The feeding frenzy makes me sick.

[Gaffer]

You really shouldn’t be smokin that stuff this early in the morning.

“Why won’t the cops just set the record straight?”

For the same reason the news was reporting him as a “boy”— political correctnes. We wouldn’t want to offend anyone, would we?

“So, if most of those in the theater had been armed...”

...they would have needed to make a head shot with a short barreled handgun. My theory has always been that if he is moving fast, wait for him to stop before shooting. If he’s moving very slow, take a face shot - you will probably miss the brain, but very few people remain calm after a face shot.

Body armor is getting more common with weirdo freaks, let alone terrorist types.

The legs would at least limit his mobility.

All theaters I have attending to kick in the door would have caused quite a commotion.

The guy came in firing and throwing smoke bombs...don't think he was too concerned about not creating commotion...

[Gaffer]

You need to go take another lithium pill and calm down.

[no-to-illegals]

Looking for information FRiend. That is all.

[scooby321]

Why did the statement come out first this is not a terrorist?

[trailhkr1]

Looking for information FRiend. That is all.

Cool, sorry to get confrontational...too much caffeine this morning..

[bigheadfred]

When I don't get my bath I take it out on the slaves

[jboot]

Sure it should...but I am just guessing. I doubt anyone will ever tell us just who or what "Mohammed Alam" was.

"Nothing to see here, folks. Move along."
