Re: Shooter at the Earle Cabell Federal Building
The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

Re: Shooter at the Earle Cabell Federal Building
Hey! I'm extremely happy no one else was hurt or worse.
However, whatever this nut did in the Army and then to shoot up the building like he did and not hurt anyone seems really odd. Almost like he went out of his way to not hurt anyone given there were so many people out and about when he began shooting.

Re: Shooter at the Earle Cabell Federal Building
His shooting skills are horrible, evident by the fact he got shot in the first 15sec.
No use for cover whatsoever and he disengaged in the line of fire
I think it was suicide for the cookoo in him

I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on.
I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

Re: Shooter at the Earle Cabell Federal Building
Only two years in the Army? Discharged as a PFC? Sounds like the Army got rid of him for something OTHER than disciplinary reasons.....maybe psychiatric problems? Definitely believe he was doing a SBC.

However, I am just not sure. From his cuckoo videos he posted on Fecesbook and elsewhere, I (personally) get the impression that he was more a little crazy in the head.
Last night's news only mentioned him having spent 2 years in the army, nothing about deployment. He didn't seem (to me) like a deployment kinda guy. More like one of them "support specialists" who runs Ethernet cables or such instead of seeing any actual combat. Again, just my opinion from seeing his actions on TV, I do not have any facts to back it up. (those should be coming soon)
the die is cast

Re: Shooter at the Earle Cabell Federal Building
He was shooting the actual marble building. He never shot at anyone in particular. The most dangerous part was when he shot the glass. He was no doubt trying to die he just couldn’t pull the trigger himself.03Lightningrocks wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 6:29 pmIt sure looks like it.

An average of 22 veterans commit suicide a day. I pray several times a day for our troops and our veterans. I think sometimes we forget we are still at war.

Re: Shooter at the Earle Cabell Federal Building
I believe he was shot by the security who came around the building (from video point of the view lower right corner)
