Lubbock Man Allegedly Contemplating Mass Shooting Arrested

Post by imkopaka »

Two days before the shooting incident in El Paso, police in Lubbock arrested a man who allegedly planned to commit a mass shooting here in West Texas. From the sounds of it, they caught him just in time, and only because he told his grandmother what he planned to do.
Officers searched the room Williams had rented at the hotel and found the AK-47 rifle, ammunition, knives and black clothing, including a t-shirt with “Let ‘Em Come” lettering, officials say.

Another news story said he had 17 loaded mags for the AK in the hotel room the police raided.

He is charged with providing false information to his FFL when purchasing the AK47.
Authorities later discovered that Williams allegedly misrepresented his current address on the firearms transaction form used to purchase the AK-47, officials say.
Seems like the mass shooters weapon of choice is the AK47 format.

Statistica shows a distinctive increase in US mass shootings since the Obama presidency. These mass shootings increased even more under the Trump Presidency.

It's not a secret anymore that within the US there is an army of partisan agent provocateurs who have stated that their objective is "starting anarchy". This BBC documentary explains what the "strategy of tension" is and how it was used during the cold war to influence politics. It would be naïve to think that no one in the world is using the "strategy of tension" today. One must always ask, "who benefits?"

That had to be a heart wrenching decision for that Grandmother to make, but we all owe her a debt for her actions. I am also glad to hear it wasn’t avoided by use of the “pre-cog” legislation many in our government seem so willing to inflict upon us via the TAPS program. They even flipped Crenshaw who was formerly a staunch defender of the Rights of his constituents
