I am happy they didn't mistake him for another shooter, no need to compound the current situation. But he certainly should have known better.

Known better? About what?

Too bad police didn't shoot an innocent American citizen?

Wowzers!

I don't really believe that. It was just the really pissed off part of me talking. That man is pure trash.

Yeh just posted the same. How wasn’t he detained? He’s lucky he wasn’t fired upon by the Police.

You think responsible policing is just to open fire on innocent Americans?

They named him. His name is Dimitri, and he may have been a bullying victim who suddenly snapped, or someone whose girlfriend broke up with him. Lots of speculation right now, but no real facts yet.

Thanks, but I'll wait for that poster to tell me about how badly his parents raised him.

I also saw that he was a star football player for that high school. Reminds me of Tex Watson. So was he (a star football player in Texas).

That may happen in time, Texas has the death penalty, but for now much more can be learned about motives from a live person than a dead body.

About showing up at a crime scene of a mass shooting with a pistol on the hip. It's incredibly stupid thing to do. It's stupid, dangerous, and completely insensitive.

I think if you turn up armed to a shooting where they are still finding explosives you are asking to be fired upon. I mean a black guy was shot a few weeks ago holding his cell phone in his own garden...

As I said, guns are the common denominator between all shootings. I never claimed that all people who were bullied carry out shootings.

A nutjob is a common denominator, too.

Unbelievable. A man showed up in front of the school, carrying a gun and an American flag, and wearing a MAGA hat. The police made him leave. Sick ****!!

It's the third for fourth video down in this twitter feed.

Realistically, I understand where the guy is coming from but right now isn't the time for political statements.

That's why armed security personel who are familiar to local police should already be in place.

Don't bring up anybody associated with Charles Manson.... At least now around me. There is a joke among my musician friends, who call me Mini-Manson. LOL.

Isn't Sante Fe in New Mexico?

There's nothing ridiculous about it. It's human nature to pass the blame. The parents of a child that killed himself tried blaming Ozzy Ozbourne for the kids death. They naturally tried to deflect issues going on with the child and or/their parenting. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Causes, influence, and motivation are examined for all crimes. That's not 'blame.'

No he clearly wasn’t. You want to
Protect the police then you let them do their jobs. They can’t be expected to be fine with armed civilians just turning up to an active crime scene.

How are those remotely analogous?

This Santa Fe is just outside Houston, close to Alvin.

I didn't say it wasn't legal. I also said initially that people should be allowed to carry. I said it was stupid, dangerous, and completely insensitive. Which it is. He should grow up.

Yes, there are several Santa Fe's, this one happens to be in Texas, didn't you read or hear any of the actual news or are you just reacting to posters?

40 miles south of Houston, just north across the bay from Galveston.

If you can’t see the double standard at play then I’ve got nothing for you.
I’ve seen videos of nervous jumpy policemen shoot numerous people because they felt threatened. If you don’t think turning up to this school armed is reckless then...
