What, he couldn't afford a gun?

The intent to kill, use what's available.

This is insane.

this is the second day running I've read that someone mounted the pavement and killed a group of people on purpose...

Apparently videos surfacing showing exactly that.

When there is a will there is a way. Will to kill

Yes, all it takes is a moment of insane anger.

That's crazy. Isn't prison or death a deterrent any more? Is that how bad the world is? Maybe so for a lot of people.

If your world sucks so bad, why not move somewhere else instead of throwing your life away?

Or they should throw THEIR life away only.

That's why getting rid of guns won't solve the problem of gun violence. You need to fix the people behind them. Just IMHO.

Yes, Exactly! Not the gun or the knife or the vehicle.
It's the mental health of the person. Jeez!

 

[Tish]

Very sad.

I think killing other people is secondary to their suicide. They seem to want to go out in a blaze of glory, or be remembered in some way, even if they're remembered as being evil.

They just said on the news that they basically can't get a straight story from this guy. He gave them multiple names, for starters, so they don't even know yet who he is.

Wow! This is the first I've heard of this mass murder! Doesn't this make three this week?

 

[RadishRose]

I think so. All in Texas.

5 killed by the neighbor
8 killed at the Allen Outlets mall
8 mowed down by vehicle today in Brownsville.

There was also 7 killed in Oklahoma by the sex offender

I didn't read about the Oklahoma one. God bless the souls of the victims and comfort their families and friends! This is all becoming too much!

Apparently, the driver was angry that the immigrants were "invading" our country, so he plowed his car into them. First he taunted them. Alcohol may have been involved.

Getting rid of military type guns would help! AR-15's should only be in the hands of the military! Reducing the number of shells in the magazine would help. I'm sure someone here knows more about the weaponry available to Americans than I do!

 

[JustDave]

All in Texas.

Maybe he should move to another state.

Both mass killings in Texas over the weekend were Hispanic on Hispanic violence. The shooter in Allen, Texas was a White Supremacist. The driver in Brownsville isn't cooperating and won't even provide his real name, but he's anti-immigrant.

The motive for both of these mass killings is probably to try to stop refugees from coming to the U.S.

Here is a picture of the person who ran over people with the vehicle. He is apparently part of a Texas prison gang from Mexican cartel imprisoned here, and is not an American citizen, but part of the drug cartel, from the looks of it. So the whole killing might very well have been gang related ?

this Fact will go unnoticed ....... does not support the rhetoric.

so many " news" post first ........and ask questions later .........
In fact if the criminal does not meet there "villain" assumption the story kind of slips/ fades away..... cannot admit they may have jumped to conclusions ...... and no longer gets massive coverage.

I wish we did not have this issue and people who run with "information" that is often unconfirmed .........

Yes. I don't understand this either.

In my twenties I thought if my world was going to suck I'd change my name & be a waitress in Florida.
