28 dead in Texas church shooting

Post Reply New Topic

Lets look at logan square.

Armed citizen drives up and sees a man open fire on a crowd (Custodio).
Draws his handgun and fired six shots at Custodio, hitting him several times incapacitating him.
No other injuries were reported

So the diver did not injure anyone else. He was not shot by swat. In fact he did not even kill the shooter.

Yea, there where plenty of semi auto guns and pistols when I was a kid. Sure no ARs or Glocks but M16s, AKs, SKSs, 1911, high powers and more. There where full autos then as there are now. The difference I see today is that they are all locked up in safes rather than leaning in a corner or hanging in a truck window where nobody seemed to bother them for some reason.

All the signs of psychopathy were there in plain sight:

And yet nobody seemed to question the right of this dangerous psychopath who was cruel to animals, infants, women, a vindictive stalker who resented any opposition to his rage-filled hateful actions and exhibited the hallmarks of a potential mass murderer - to own guns well suited to mass murder. He had expressed admiration of Dylan Roof's mass murder of church people in the past.

Admittedly hindsight is easier, but this piece of **** exhibited so many red flags for so long that he might as well have had a visible tattoo on his forehead: Have guns, feel entitled to kill bigtime.

The links between animal torturers and psychopathy are well established.
A January 2017 report from the Animal Legal Defense Fund found that some states still fail to mandate mental health evaluations or counseling for animal cruelty offenders or to require someone convicted of animal cruelty to give up their animals. Perhaps Texas is one of those states, I don't know. It's time to look at the underbelly of this mass killing, to all of information that was ignored, the whole of it, starting with the failure to register his conviction in the service, and all the other pieces of bystander observation that only now are being reported.

A peculiarity of the media coverage of this mass murderer compared to Paddock is that the media were all over themselves to link family background and relatives to Paddock for public consumption, compared to this mass murderer where there is a strange silence, the only mention I saw was that "he grew up in a million dollar house".

It's unusual for such a blanket of silence with mass killers and something has probably happened in the background to keep information suppressed, and the suppression must have had help from higher levels. It is certainly worth pondering.

/\The police didn't till the eighties.Then they became outgunned by gangs,so they acquired them.Civilians did own them then,till 1986.All fully automatic weapons purchased before then are legal.They were grandfathered in.A family friend had an M-16,I was a teenager then.We liked to target practice with it.

1911s and browning high powers have been popular guns for 100 years. The high power holds 15 rounds of 9mm.

Full auto M16s where around before and after the 1986 regulations and semi auto m16 became popular eventually becoming the AR15.

You could also get full auto tommy guns, BAR rifles, AK47 and more before 1986. You can still get them now but they are very expensive because there is a limited supply.

Who knows why so many police carried 38 revolvers. They have always been known to be somewhat lacking in effectiveness. They have also had many other options available.

38 was never adequate. That's been proven time and again for many years by the military and police.
