When a few members on a gun forum, see a person who bears a close resemblance to someone from a movie, why not?
Well I am asian....if the guy that shot up King Soopers today was asian I can only imagine the memes/visuals that would come out of this...lol
Or a Black guy...All the black "bad" villains in the movies...
I live 1 block away from this Bullshit...SO some white guys did this.. Can I call him a "white supremacy fanatic"....OR just some dumbass who is fucking nuts?
I don't have issues with race, just guys posting shit on fictitious realities that aren't real.....thats what's gets me. If that's the way you want o deal with it , them I'm cool with it.
We all deal with it in our own way....and that's OK too.
I support all these comments and what DEF90 said he is an asshole for sure. TOTAL asshole for sure.
I'm just lucky 8 year old son was dragging ass and didn't want to go to KS today @ the exact time this started (it takes us 3 minutes to get there from our place and the time stamps are all around 2:50ish),....If we did, it would have been a total different scenario...I don't know.
Sorry to derail here.
VN....you wrote that you're Asian. My wife is as well. When I mentioned this event to her she immediately asked if it was an attack on Asians. She has the impression that there is a plague of anti-Asian violence in the US right now. I can think of a few events that have happened since the rona started, but the MSM would make you think thousands have been slaughtered. The Georgia event MAY have been a racial thing, but that's not clear. If that asshole really had a "sex addiction" as he claimed and fed it at those places, maybe not. He could just be another whacko who should have auto asphyxiated instead.
I guess I'm wondering if you think there's a giant wave of anti-Asian violence running wild in America. Maybe there are things that have happened I don't know about
I'm glad too, that you didn't go to KS today. Even if armed a person with a child is going run like hell rather than engage a shooter with a rifle.
My cousin lives a mile from the Table Mesa store and his family shops there frequently. I was there only once last year but I always carry when shopping for veggies at Kings. (You never know about those killer jalapenos).
Many killers who go after innocents end up offing themselves after killing one or two or three people. I expect the shock, the moral consequence of what they did overwhelms them. This shooter had no morality left to contain his murderous impulse. A common characteristic of mass shooters is that they target the most vulnerable innocent people and they aim for notoriety. Isn't that why the coward picked the Table Mesa King Soopers? Maybe he just didn't think about finding an assisted living home?
