1. Seems it's always gun nut punks of this age.

And the SCOTUS Taliban 6 just reassure them they can get AR-15s and other weapons whenever they get the urge to kill.

Just some sick puppies on the Court now. One would think they're getting paid by the NRA too.

2. This is the guy that Google Images shows multiple high production videos of from years ago.

Why is that? Who set up this whole shootout. Whose payroll is this guy on? Why are police "looking" for him.

Sure, the deaths are real. But only eyewitnesses can actually tell what happened. Because right now this only looks like a "news" STORY.

This stinks of demoralize-the-blue-state-populations production. More fake news meat for RW news.

10. So you think he was paid to do this.

And you think the cops are (not really) “looking” for him.

And you think this was “produced”.

12. What do you think. The stuff I posted is out there.

Are the FBI on this yet?

Are these shootings going to be local LEO problems?

Why has this guy been around on the nets for years?

I'm just keeping my eyes open.

Should we turn on each other over this?

Are you saying that this was a staged shooting, except for ? the dead bodies that are real?

Not following your reasoning.

How long has everyone in Highland Park sheltered in place?

How many hours has it been since this kid took off?
Pretty sure law enforcement doesn't take July 4 off, right?

Is any of this supposed to make sense?

Just like the rest of us, I'm waiting for the complete story.

18. Yeah I don't think so.. Who in their right mind would pay THIS FOOL to commit murder?

I wouldn't get too wrapped up in a crazy person's motivation.

Look like he likes to get attention.

That's probably all it is.

No one smart enough to be the leaders of a well-funded anti-democracy group woould pay this guy.

The risk of exposure is far too great.

That, IS crazy.

19. They've got him in custody so we'll see what he has to say about being paid to kill by some anti-Dem

4. Yep. Crimo theater puts on crime productions in blue states to keep people saying
Mon Jul 4, 2022, 06:50 PM
Jul 2022

"this isn't the country I grew up in" and
"we never thought this could happen here." and
" gun violence is a symptom of a failing society, not the disease" and
"American culture embraces violence" and
"civil war!"
"it's the guns" and
"it's nutcases who need therapy!"


The death is real, but to the producers this is just their show.

May every one of these deaths represent a pox on their houses.

Family curses are awful (believe me).
