TN Killer's Dad's Crane Company Needs To Be Put Out Of Business

If the authorities believe that the father gave his Killer son the guns back, after assuring them he wouldn't, then he should also be charged with the 4 Murders and other Attempted Murders.

Since I have my doubts, thanks to the NRA and the good ol' American gun lobby, that this would occur, I think at the very least his company should be made to suffer and hopefully cease to exist.

Looks like his website is offline, although I was able to find pages through a Google search and then Cached view. The Facebook page has it's last post in July '15, and all the comments were from the last 6 hours.

They say mom is a right wing religious nutjob. What the fuck is it with religious nuts and guns? Am I missing something? How do these people's brains function? Or not function as it were. Did Jesus like to go around and shoot things? Admittedly, I'm Jewish, so perhaps my lack of knowledge with Christian history is responsible. I had thought Christians were all about non-violence and not killing living creatures.

And also for Nixon's "law and order", especially giving the nod for ever'body to purchase, own and use any kind of firearm they could get their itchy trigger finger hands on.

He spoke so illustrious in His Mount Sermon that it behooved those that had an ear to hear to run straight away and stock their arsenal.

He also encouraged by a directive/commandment to never turn the other cheek in a confrontation, but to grab Mssrs. Smith & Wesson and make the one ticking you off 'dance'.

It is written.

but, of course.

the company may be protected but their other assets are not. Hope they do sue the parents but not the Waffle House.

it would depend on the lawyer. Of course there is no negligence on their part but a lawyer could hope for a settlement from the Waffle House in order to keep their business out of any bad publicity. Some lawyers go far and wide when suing. The parents need to hand over their assets to the victims and families if they did give their son his weapons back.

10. Happens all the time. They'll claim Waffle House should have had guards to protect patrons.

Truthfully, in today's environment, that might be true.

Maybe when white wing gunners force every establishment to spend billions on protecting society from the carnage, someone will see that light and pass meaningful gun legislation.

6. Police have Waffle House suspects gun, arrested last year near White House Posted 4:14 pm, April 22

[link:http://cbs4indy.com/2018/04/22/police-have-waffle-house-suspects-gun-arrested-last-year-near-white-house/|]

Metro Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said 29-year-old Travis Reinking’s firearms authorization was then revoked at the request of the FBI, and four weapons were seized, including the AR15 that he allegedly used in the shooting at the Waffle House restaurant early Sunday. Four people were killed.

Aaron says the four guns were returned to the suspect’s father, who acknowledged giving them back to his son.

Police have the AR15 and another gun found during a search earlier Sunday. But two other guns are unaccounted for. Aaron says Reinking is still at large following the 3:25 a.m. shooting and could possibly be armed with the two guns.


*New rule if your guns are taken they should not be given back period they should be destroyed , period. The father should be charged.

Not sure why they took it away. There were more comments and views today than in the 3 years since the last post.

12. Their religion makes them so angry. There was an old joke

the father comes home slaps the mother who then slaps the oldest child who then slaps until the smallest child kicks the dog. The white god sitting in the gold throne with his hands in the air signaling whether you go to heaven or hell is mean, so he makes his followers mean. They are indoctrinated and can't deviate from the script or they are lost and are soooo jealous of anything anyone has that isn't they don't have better. The white man who killed his black neighbors donkey because he didn't have one.

Sorry, stream of consciousness on why people hate. Basically it's fear. Fear of living, fear of dying, fear of missing out, fear of not having enough and it keeps them wound so tight. JMHO before I've finished coffee.
