As more is becoming known about Travis Reinking, the suspect wanted for murdering four people in a Nashville area Waffle House this morning, we’re hearing a familiar refrain. Reinking was well known to both federal and state authorities.
In July 2017, the U.S. Secret Service arrested Reinking for being in a “restricted area” near the White House, according to the Secret Service. After the arrest, his Illinois firearms authorization was revoked and local Illinois police seized four weapons.
The firearms were given back to his family.
“Among the weapons seized by those authorities was the AR-15 rifle used at the Waffle House today,” said Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron at a Sunday afternoon news conference.
Police believe Reinking’s father received the weapons after their confiscation, and returned them to his son. Nashville Police Chief Steve Anderson said he believes under Illinois law, guns seized can be returned to someone who has a valid state authorization.
Reinking is still on the loose and police believe he may be armed. According to an NPR report, the only reason the number of casualties this morning wasn’t higher was that Reinking’s rifle jammed.
A Waffle House patron who saw that the gunman was “apparently struggling or looking at” with his rifle, and took advantage of the moment by “rushing him,” wresting the gun away and throwing it behind the counter – prompting the gunman to leave.
Even when everything you touch is sticky?
OK, at Zero Dark Thirty, with Here 300 miles behind and There another 5 hours ahead, a Waffle House waffle is mighty good...
Are there ANY of these shooters NOT known to the FBI?
No more releasing people back into society when they’ve already shown themselves a “public danger (some might even say menace!)”
“I wondered if this guy had been known to the FBI or law enforcement”
Ditto. Apparently he was. He would have to have been placed on an SS watch list in case POTUS ever came to town.
Worked like a charm.
They took the guns away from the insane son.
Gave them to the father.
Who promptly gave them back to the son.
"Honest dad, it's all just a big misunderstanding."
"I wasn't trying to sneak into the White House to assassinate Trump."
*twitch*
We need to ban liberals. They are violent.
It is funny. :)
I smell an ANTIFA rat!
Biggest failure is his father. He is as much responsible for the deaths as his son. What a worthless POS.
**************
Kinda like the parents of Columbine killers Harris and Kleybold, who were clueless about what was going on in their own homes and let their kids dress and act like idiots.
[IF the father gave him the seized firearms and one of them was used, he should prosecuted.]
This is shades of Sandy Hook where the stupid mother bought guns for the psycho son.
The father as you say should be prosecuted because he knowingly supplied guns to a prohibited person.
Thank God for the brave employee, who is black.
So, Travis was after the President and failed. Now he killed people at a waffle house. When will we wake up to the fact that the real killers are Left Wing??
“Personally, I want to know the following:
1) What mental illness was he being treated for?
2) Were SSRI’s prescribed to him?
3) What one- or two-degrees of separation, separates him from an FBI contact (like the last four or five shooters).”
Excellent questions!
Kudos to the brave citizen that grabbed his gun. We need more gun grabbers like him.
This today.....and ALL the many shootings lately are.....IMO.....a coordinated effort ......
....coordinated, planned, funded
Really so obvious......GUN CONTROL
‘They’ are desperate that time is running out for them
Waffle House......Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.....First Baptist Sutherland Springs, Texas, etc.......
......keep us off our toes, who is next?
PLANNED...PLANNED....PLANNED!
I’m not sure I could have restrained myself from blowing the guys brains out with his own gun had I been in the same situation.
He thought a spacial meeting of the nude chapter of the Illuminati was meeting there. There should be a law that you can run around naked or own firearms. But not both.
There is another FB account which is up.
