This is the most bogus new conference I have ever seen.

[Quemado]

LE refuses to identify the killer.

LE refuses to comment on the motive for the killings.

So-called "journalists" present won't challenge LE.

I think this news conference is one big set-up.

[SHRED]

1. In other words

The killer is a right-wing tRump humper.

[uponit7771]

3. +1, ... and their bullshit ass'd reasoning for the apprehension in an open carry state. It's open...

... carry so of fuckin course we don't know why he would stand outside of a theater with his mass kill device seeing gumpers all do that stupid shit.

[Sneederbunk]

2. You would think the shooter was a cop or somethin.

[lpbk2713]

4. Or the son of someone very influential.

[bronxiteforever]

5. There was an off hand acknowledgement of some prior record.

This conference was really weird and definitely not normal.

[jberryhill]

6. They may want to execute some search warrants...

...and don’t want to give anyone associated with him a heads up.

[PJMcK]

8. A voice of reason

As usual.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Thanks.

[RKP5637]

11. Excellent point!!! Thanks!!! n/t

[barbtries]

15. they could say that

if it was due to an ongoing investigation. but they didn't, not what i heard.

[jberryhill]

25. Criminals aren't all very bright

The persons at the location(s) of potential interest might wonder where Jimbo went, but might not have put two and two together yet.

[gldstwmn]

18. But they won't confirm they're

Federal warrants which is what they just said on TV. Way to be low key.

[Hortensis]

20. Voice of reason always good. :)

[blogslut]

24. Yeah, they started searching a property about a half-hour ago

[mountain grammy]

37. Thank you, and I will try to remain calm..

but I want answers too.

[jberryhill]

40. When the Bataclsn attack happened in France...

...or when the concert bombing happened in the UK, you might remember there was very little specific information, but as a result of searches and raids on various locations, they are usually pretty quick to round up the group.

Early information suggested perhaps more than one shooter, so they wanted to rapidly run through any associates of this person to find out what they might have or know.

Obviously, US law enforcement operates in a different environment concerning public reporting of crimes under investigation.

[Mike 03]

7. Maybe someone should request a copy of the pathology report.

If the name is redacted, we'll know for certain something is really wrong.

[SHRED]

9. They can't hide the killer forever

[IcyPeas]

10. usually these people are outed on twitter by now

somebody knows who he is. just a matter of time.

[luvs2sing]

12. A few possible clues..

White male
30s
Known to police
Gun nut
Drove a gold Honda (unless it was stolen, too)

Where’s Columbo when you need him?

[Sneederbunk]

16. Did the Honda have a license plate?

[luvs2sing]

17. Good question!

Also, he was a resident of Ector County. BMV search? How many gold Hondas could there be out there?

[TeamPooka]

32. Columbo only caught rich and/or famous murderers. Beverly Hills killers. That was the best

part of Columbo.
He only arrested the rich and powerful.
That's how you can tell it's fiction.

[mountain grammy]

38. Toyota..

didn't know about the gun nut.. was arrested long time ago.. misdemeanor.

[luvs2sing]

39. Turns out it was..

but in all the articles I read earlier today it was a Honda. We know more now that was not known several hours ago when I posted this.

[octoberlib]

13. Greg Abbott is a piece of shit. He was spewing the NRA talking points.

Why was he even there?

[barbtries]

14. i stopped watching.

it was about anything BUT informing the public about the ongoing threat to their safety.

[Skittles]

19. gun humper rights in Texas trump safety

[Hortensis]

21. Quemado, we'll know more in time. Itm, the name of the

17-month-old baby girl who was shot is Anderson Davis.

"She suffered shrapnel in her right chest, has a hole through her bottom lip and tongue, and had her front teeth knocked out after being shot in the face, according to a GoFundMe page created by a family friend. Eric Finley, marketing director of Texas' UMC Health System, said Anderson was in satisfactory condition at a hospital in Lubbock.

"She is alive. When others today are not alive," Anderson's mother said in a statement shared on the GoFundMe page. "I ask you to continue praying for our hearts as we experience this, pray for complete healing of Anderson, pray for every other family in our same situation, or worse, today and pray for the shooters. Pray that whatever is causing them to do this will be defeated by God and they will stop shooting."

Andy'll need plastic surgery, but surgeons do wonderful things these days and clearly she has a mother who will be there for her.

[Gothmog]

22. What do you expect with Greg Abbott?

[mrsadm]

23. Huh? What are you talking about?

When you start a new thread would you PLEASE include a few words on WHAT YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT? Like, WHAT news conference
and who is LE?????

[Doitnow]

27. Same questions ----Is LE a who or a what?

[Sucha NastyWoman]

28. Yes I was wondering what lE stands for

[JonLP24]

29. Probably Law Enforcement

LEO = Law Enforcement Officer

[obamanut2012]

30. LE is of course law enforcement

It is a well known abbreviation, as is LEO. It is not DU-centric.

[Quemado]

34. Sorry for the abbreviation. I assumed this was commonly known.

[lame54]

26. The mayor blamed video games

[Dagstead Bumwood]

31. I've been playing video games since their inception, and I've yet to go on a homicidal rampage.

But, maybe I'm just an outlier. God bless that mayor for getting to the heart of the problem.

[Gothmog]

33. From the head of Moms Demand Action

[Grammy23]

35. Well, the FBI guy didn't mince words.

On average we have a mass shooting in the US about every two weeks according to that guy. Once they get things settled in Odessa, they’ll prepare to go to the next shooting location.

That is where we are, people. This is what happens when guns are everywhere and often in the wrong hands. When you do nothing to stop the carnage and everything to loosen the laws you have, you wind up with mass shootings as a regular occurrence. So you better have a special team of investigators who can gather the evidence and tell us what happened and move on quickly to the next one. God forbid anyone does anything to prevent it in the first place.

[mnhtnbb]

36. The suspect has now been identified.
