So we have this guy posting a week in advance on Facebook and no one in law enforcement knows to keep an eye out? It seems that needs to be addressed right about 5 years ago.

The trouble is there are literally millions of people posting stuff like this on Facebook daily. Hell, half my GOP family posts stuff like what he was posting, up to and including the 'Storm is coming' shit. (Although, to be fair when he posted that a real storm was coming. Tornado sirens were going off across the city. We have had some serious weather the last two weeks in Dallas)

You would have to be on the look out for half the Republican party. Hell, the President posts shit like he was posting on Twitter now.

Keep an eye out where? What was his specific threat on Facebook? Do we know that his post was even reported to law enforcement? What exactly did you expect law enforcement to do?

Turns out I was wrong about the Q-Anon. He was a Peterson Incel.

lyde posted frequently on Facebook, sharing political memes that made light of — among other things — incest and the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Several memes included Confederate flag imagery.

One meme he shared referred to a “Chad rampage” vs. a “virgin shooting” — the Chad vs. virgin trope is a common “incel” meme, which is short for “involuntary celibate.” The meme contrasted how two men — a "Chad" and a "virgin" — would go about carrying out a shooting.

In the memes, "Chads" are strong men who can attract women, unlike weaker "virgins."

The term “incels” usually refers to an online community of men who blame women for not having sex with them. In some cases, the internet subculture makes its way offline, such as when a man killed 10 people after he drove into a crowd in Toronto last year and pledged allegiance to the “incel rebellion.

On June 9, the day a sudden, violent storm blew through Dallas, Clyde posted a video to Facebook in which he is illuminated by candlelight.

"I don't know how much longer I have, but the [expletive] storm is coming. However, I'm not without defense," he says in the video, holding up what appears to be a rifle wrapped with duct tape. "[Expletive] ready. Let's do it."

In a post in April, he wrote, "God i love gun shows."

It seems that a guy walking around with an assault rifle and multiple 30 round clips tends to make even people in Texas call the police.

Holy shit at the person like 15 feet away hiding in the corner behind the brick wall.

That was the reporter that snapped the picture of him in full gear.

Laces untucked, mags on his belt unsecured, loading mags with his right hand, DPMS rifle (lol), handguard secured with duct tape. Shoulda stuck to COD.

When I saw the picture of him all I could do was laugh at how stupid he even looks. He would have had to drop the mag in his right hand in order to even raise his rifle.

Ok, how about a solution or does it mean we just have to accept this as the norm? A high school dropout can make an IED so taking away firearms won't impact someone who has been considering this kind of incident.

So anyone else? If I were to want to cause destruction by whatever means, I just post on Facebook and off I go? This is either acceptable or not?

Definitely an ASVAB waiver situation for this dude to even get in the army.

That picture of him just made me deeply sad. You can kinda see the dawning in his eyes that hes made a hideous mistake and that he's out of his depth in the real world not playing a role on the internet anymore. He knows theres no good outcome but he doesn't know how to take it all back.

It is a sad commentary that we've had a few posters who are so far off the deep end that we worry they'll be involved in a mass shooting.
BD231 has paranoid delusions and threatened to kill the next white person that messes with his car. That was a while back, but a lot of his posts are just frightening. He needs help.

He could have been reloading or something.

Here in America, we will let him heavily arm himself and hope for the best.

So, this is where I work. I walk in the door he was firing into every morning right around that time. Lucky for me I was off work yesterday, and am again today because the building is closed. Otherwise I would have been in line at the security station right on the other side of that door.

I don't even know what to say. We have to stop this.

Glad you and all your coworkers are safe.

It's like that age-old saying: Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Today at my job we had a guest speaker. Her name is Kristina Anderson. She is one of the survivors from the Virgina Tech shooting in 2007.

It was surreal to here her explain her day and how things transpired. She showed us slides of the classroom layout she was in and where her seat was, and exactly how everything went down. She was shot 3 times. Once in her back, once in her butt, and once in her foot. She got to class late that day because she overslept, and because of that she ended up sitting in the back corner of her classroom.

The only survivors in her classroom were the people who sat back in the corner. Her teacher was killed and 12 students in her classroom were killed. The class sat 25 students but they were not all full.

Her mom was in Tysons Corner at the mall and received a phone call from the hospital. She told her mother 3 things. You're daughter has been shot, she is being rushed to the hospital, and they are performing surgery on her immediately without anyones consent. Her mom collapsed in the mall and she said on the 4 hour drive to Tech from Tysons, her dad nearly killed them because of driving erratically.

It was just unbelievable to hear the details of it all and how she can talk about it. She talked about her road to get to where she is today and the issues she still has today and will have the rest of her life.

It's unreal how rare these shootings were back then, 12 years ago, and now it is just common place and NOTHING has changed and it's only gotten worse because we're a fucking gun happy nation.

This shit has to stop.

We've now got children living their whole lives dealing with problems that only soldiers ever dealt with, which, even then, were rarely supported by medical treatment: "shell shock" poorly understand and more or less used to insult the individual, now understood as PTSD, still has a stigma to it.

No one that survived a shooting, like that woman, is generally considered a victim. They don't appear in the grisly murder numbers that the NRA and ammosexuals of this country are 100% responsible for. Only those that died count, but they don't count anyway because they were all proud martyrs for freedom. So says the NRA.

And yet for everyone of those killed there are dozens that survived those same events that are now wholly fucked for life. They didn't volunteer for this shit. The GOP and their brainless followers "Demand" that we show all respect for all soldiers that "volunteered" for this noble cause of offering up their bodies....to defend some oligarch's oil futures, really. But why don't they demand respect and honor of the people that never volunteered to put their bodies and their lives on the line for their bullshit version of freedom, by you know, going out to Sonic for a burger?

usually you want to remove the old mag before grabbing the replacement I would thing.

I kind of wonder why he was discharged only after 2 years, maybe mediical or psychological?

No one was even injured except for the "shooter?" This was be immediately forgotten.

There's something a bit troubling about that in itself though.

Every time some incel/MAGA/Islamist/person-playing-with-the-ideological-dressing-up-box goes on a rampage it bugs me when we get all the articles analysing their dysfunction and talking about the wider meaning, because I wonder about the vast numbers of similarly dysfunctional people who just have bleak but quiet lives and/or die at their own hands and nobody ever really talks about them, because they didn't harm anyone else.

This guy is sort-of a borderline-case, I suppose. Probably had some plan to harm others but wasn't up to accomplishing it, for whatever reason. And hence will get nothing like the attention the mass killers do.

I dunno, it just bugs me. It's why I conciously try not to remember the names of spree-killers. But would also be good if more attention was paid to those who have problems but don't act them out.
