News says he was killed only by a ricochet. Someone needs to head to the range for some practice.

Shooter is a 50 year old white male, which according to the news is another very important part of the story. They cannot say that enough.

Kind of a weird time of day to do something like that....I mean if there is a right time?......if you wanted to do damage to people.

I'm surprised they haven't already flown into Austin demanding that the Killer Kop in this case be arrested and put on trial right now!!! ...  

Oh wait, the Officer just killed some white dude...   Oh Well   Never Mind.....

And that it must be related to the immigration issue, since he shot up the consulate and the federal courthouse.

Just ignore that he shot up the PD HQ and a bank too...

Sounds like the "IEDs" were just small propane cylinders, and I'd bet the "bulletproof vest or some kind of suicide vest" was some kinda cheap Chinese cross-draw vest.

Just doing his part to "keep Austin weird".  Sounds like the only place he missed was an IRS building, but those are a little further away.  Every time I drive down 183 I still think of that guy that flew his plane into the IRS office there a few years ago.  Anyway, I'm sure this guy will be found guilty by the media of being a hard core conservative probably with tea party ties that was fed up with the immigration and lack of law enforcement by APD (amnesty city) and the feds.  I've worked a couple times across the street from that Mexican consulate, lots of traffic and retail around there.  Lucky no one else was hurt, which would lead me to favor the suicide by cop theory if he didn't hurt anyone.

Sounds kinda like terror to me?  Do you have to be a certain religion to be a terrorist?  Timothy McVeigh was a terroist.

He is also responsible for killing almost 200 people.  This guy was crazy and shot up a few buildings.  There were no bombs, no explosives, just a nut job and a gun.  To me, that is not a Terrorist.  Also where did anybody bring up religion besides you?  What does that have to do with this story?  You know what assuming does, right?

You write terrorist you must work for the media.  I took that to mean that you did not believe this was the work of a terrorist.  Killing 200 people could definitely be in the qualification for terrorist.  But PLEASE LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS, I meant absolutely no afront to you.  I was just pointing out, mainly, terrorists come from lots of places.  Nothing more.  Maybe I stated my point poorly.  But really All I did was ask a couple questions and point out a terrorist from white America, all the while realizing most of the terrorists in this world are from other descent.  At least as I see it.  



 






By the way I ASSumed nothing.  Edit:  speaking of assuming where is responsible for killing almost 200 people?  Did I miss something?  He fired over 100 shots?

No -- the media has been very pointed in avoiding using that word.

So the guy may have been a wannabe terrorist...

One man's terrorist is another man's pirate. If he had a fake parrot on his shoulder I could pass it off as a costume. Pretty sure that dude was into pirates or thought himself one.

After watching his sword and chinese martial arts videos, that Larry The Austin Gunman, was not altogether in his head.

There is a couch missing some upholstery for that costume.

Not to mention he is a convicted felon that did time for armed robbery and the only job he could find was working at a car wash. He was a recent immigrant from Kansas to Austin. Pretty worthless to say he was anything Texas related.

He spent more time in a Texas prison than he ever lived outside one as a free person. Screw that guy.

That shit just made me spit my drink through my nose!! haha

As far as timing is concerned, I can tell you guys don't go out to bars much!  2:15ish am on a Thursday night, the entertainment district after a home game...  Lots of people to hurt and kill.  Target rich environment with a ton of drunks.  Lots of whom park under 35.  Also, while most places won t have workers at 2 in the morning, PD, FD, EMS will have people in their buildings.  

That pirate stuff was so damn funny.  That just slayed me man.  Funnies post I have seen in a long time!  First thing I thought when I say his picture was looks like crazy is a more likely motive than national policy...

That looks like my comforter he's wearing.  Reminds me of Carol Burnett wearing a curtain rod in her Gone With the Wind skit.
