Wow the gun nuts must be confused. A confiscated semi auto rifle that was returned to the household and used in a mass shooting by a white male that was stopped when an unarmed african american man, with no combat experience took the opportunity to disarm the shooter while he was reloading. Thank **** he didnt have a higher capacity mag or a strap... or pants.

It's still going to be Obama's fault.
 
I’m trying to figure out how the naked guy, who left his vehicle at the scene, has not yet been captured. Taken refuge in a nearby nudist colony, perhaps?

How did this not happen in Florida?

Apparently, Tennessee was getting jealous that Florida and Texas are getting all the attention these days and was feeling left out. It's been the better part of a century since Scopes vs. Tennessee after all, and they've been coasting on it ever since.

He was last seen wearing pants shortly after the shooting. Perhaps he had clothes stashed around somewhere.

Then again, nudists remain a possibility. You can't trust people who have no need of pockets.

He returned to his apartment to get pants after the shooting. From there, he headed toward a wooded area. Because of the rain, tracking dogs couldn't follow a scent.

Police did not find guns in the apartment, but know that he had at least a handgun in his possession, so police assume that he has the gun.


Speculation time:

He's dead. He went into the woods, and, realizing that not only was this whole thing a bad idea, he just had his big, mean, gun taken away from him by an unarmed man. Feeling humiliated on top of the realization that he will be captured and probably killed, he killed himself. The police can't do a "regular" missing person/cadaver search in the woods, because they assume that they are dealing with an armed and dangerous man, so they have to be extremely cautious, and thus less efficient, in their search.

At least, that's my theory. Of course, he could be very much alive in those woods, but I can't believe he got very far. And I don't know how big the woods are. The impression I got based on news stories was something of only a square mile or so, but I really have no idea. I haven't checked any maps.
 
Disarmed by a black guy?

Good thing the cops didn't pull up while they were struggling. They would have pumped so many bullets into the black guy they'd be identifying him by DNA afterward.

All cops are guilty to some people just like all black people are guilty to some others.

That he's captured? I posted a link above. The rest is just snark.

Popehat (Ken White) is a libertarian former federal prosecutor turned defense attorney. Worth following.

Yes, and he is the basic right wing Sovereign Citizen, so can this count as right wing terrorism yet?

No, it's looking a whole lot like mental illness, schizophrenia maybe. But the fact the victims were black and brown could mean some of the ideology was merged into his delusions.

The idea that man's father gave weapons to his son who was that mentally disturbed is horrible. That story surely has more to unfold.

The father needs to have given up the key to the gunsafe (or whatever) at knife point yesterday, with a call after to 911 to verify same... or he needs to be facing charges.

I appreciate firearms, I respect firearms and I love target shooting.
But we've lost the plot, badly, and I'm damn tired of it. :(
