"Average white guy" kills 3 and injures 15 at Gilroy Garlic Festival
Last edited Mon Jul 29, 2019, 09:08 AM - Edit history (1)
At least three people were killed and 15 other people injured in a shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California after a suspect, wearing tactical gear and armed with an assault rifle, opened fire, authorities and witnesses said Sunday night.
"It's sort of a nightmare you hope you never have to live in reality," Gilroy Police Chief Scot Smithee said at a news conference.
Smithee said the suspect, who was also shot and killed, appeared to be shooting "somewhat randomly," and that investigators had no information on a possible motive. He said that police believed a second person may have been involved but that they didn't know in what way.
Julissa Contreras, a witness who said she was a former police cadet, said in an interview Sunday night that she saw "your average white guy" firing what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle, "kind of just going left to right and shooting whoever he could, honestly."

66. So often the say there was more than one shooter. I guess it's best to be safe.
But I'll be surprised if it was more than one gun nut freak loser sack of shit terrorist.

61. Beginnings of a Civil War? Bringing the Wars Home?
As we have more and more white male shooting events we have to look at the Hate Radio and Hate TV and our “leader” as a source of trouble. It looks a bit like a civil war being started up on a low level at this point. Was the gunman trained by our military and he is “bringing the war home”? This is just so scary.
not even close.

There were influxes of people from Iran in the late 70s (fleeing the Mullahcracy) and early 80s (fleeing the Iran-Iraq war). That suggests that this deceased scum was a first-generation American on his mother's side. Not exactly average as Americans go. And where do Iranians fit in the POC-Victim spectrum? The Iranians I've known are not particularly dark-skinned, but they are visually very apparently not Europeans.
He's more like your average public-school victim-trained crazy.

Meanwhile, DUmmies are completely silent on James Hodgkinson actually shooting Steve Scalise.

Quite possible! On the other hand, you can expect the story to disappear quickly if any hint of Islamic Terrorism was involved in the murderer's motivation.
