Mass Shooting & Gun Violence | Attempted mass shooting at church prevented

[Carolina Fever]

Yeah, forgot that was in Idaho. That guy is a wannabe serial killer. I still don't get why the other roommate didn’t call 911 after seeing a strange man walking through the house.

They found the shooter dead.

The suspect, who died on Sunday and was found with a firearm nearby, was a 20-year-old man, official says​

“The suspected shooter who ambushed a group of firefighters attempting to put out a wildfire in northern Idaho was identified as a 20-year-old man named Wess Roley, according to a law-enforcement official….”

Hopefully puts an end to the ugly rush to blame a trans shooter that happen after virtually every mass shooting now, but now the internet sleuths will go nuts and start building new conspiracies about why law enforcement quickly takes down the social media sites of alleged killers.

No Twitter reports with interesting theories as to why this guy is actually a Democrat, or even worse a transgendered liberal???!!!!!

“The city has been a popular market for second homes, in part because of its access to nature and outdoor sports.”

Outdoor sports like hunting and fishing. What or who are they hunting out there?

Wasn't this Idaho thing a reprise of something like that in Kentucky?

The area around Coer d'Alene is shot through with white supremacists and other right wing loons.

I mean you're right but there is a fair amount of unsubstantiated speculation that he was a white supremacist. Other than there being some weirdos in Idaho, there's not much evidence of that either.

Now as for my wild speculation on the thinnest of evidence, looks like he wanted to be a firefighter and had a bit of a rough family life growing up. Wouldn't be surprised if he got rejected from firefighting recently and decided his life was over at 20.

yeah, that whole situation is still mind-boggling.

Come on, man. That's like saying, "Sure, it wasn't reasonable to think the guy shooting women in Kabul was trans, but you're doing the same thing by assuming he's Taliban."

I just think it sounds more like if there was a shooting in Greensboro some guy from Idaho saying it's almost certainly a white supremacist because they had that KKK shooting 40 years ago. I mean it's possible the murderer was a white supremacist in Idaho but he shot a bunch of firefighters. That doesn't scream racially motivated (or trans motivated) to me.
