I wonder if they have an ID on the second suspect.

I wonder if they have an ID on the second suspect.

I think they know who the second suspect is. Not seeing anything confirmed yet, though. And, CBS seems to be the sole MSM who obtained ID on the shooter.

Still seems like a very active situation.

Not sure if I should be sharing this but they were trained to use at a those weaponslocal Medieval Arts fighting school, that also has "zombie apocalypse" type courses where modern weapons are used (replicas of the real obviously during training, but they are taught how to load/use the real deal). A good friend of mine rubs the school and he will be devastated when he discovers this was perpetrated by one of his former students. My heart hurts.

What a brilliant business model. One that needs to go away, jmo.

What could possibly go wrong with teaching impressionable young people these skills? Let them join the military, instead.

My opinion only - but I think everyone will be tight-lipped until the 10am (Pacific time) press conference.

I'm seeing lots of totally unsubstantiated rumors spreading, though. People are using the lack of confirmed info to push agendas without any backup confirmation at all. Not cool, not helpful. Personally, I think LE needs to step in an squelch that....but I also know they are very busy elsewhere. In the end, the truth will come out.

“Ayyy garlic festival time. Come get wasted on overpriced *advertiser censored*.”

Legan also shared his views that include fringe white supremacist book written in 1890. Called “…one of the most incendiary works ever to be published anywhere,” by a noted anarchist, Legan quoted from the book in a post accompanied by a Smokey the Bear sign about fire danger. He wrote: “Read Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard. Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white twats?”

You would have to ask Heavy about that.

You would have to ask Heavy about that.

I'll await MSM that is more MSM than Heavy. I'm skeptical that this IG is actually the shooter's and not an account someone else set up after the shooting.

That is useful - thank you. I'm less skeptical now.

(Are there still two threads for the event, or have they been merged? Both are still popping up for me.)

How long is America going to accept this as the new normal?

It's already their new normal. Life continues, no stopping, just thoughts and prayers and wait till the next one. Sadly.

It looks like there are two with different titles but they are exactly the same. Every post shows up on both.

Unfortunately, it happens all over the world. I’m not going to get in a discussion about gun control but the crazies find a way to kill people no matter how they have to do it. Look at the bombings all over the world, people running other people down on sidewalks, people running through crowds slashing others with knives.

IMO we are not treating it as a new normal, but people who want to kill always find a way in free countries.

Putting all that aside, I feel terrible when anyone experiences these things, for the victims of yesterday’s shooting and others we’ve witnessed. And hope they find the second suspect quickly if that person exists.

I don't think anyone accepts it as normal.

Apparently they just increased their security at the festival for the first time this year because of other recent shootings but the guy went through a creek and cut through a fence to get in.

It seems LE acted very quickly and took him down within minutes.
Since the suspect was just spraying bullets everywhere there could have been many more casualties if they had not acted so quickly.

There has been a lot of debate over how to stop shootings like this but apparently it's not that simple. It seems if there is some determined lunatic out there they are going to find a way to kill people. Imo

"Moments ago
@GilroyPD
searched this sedan Nissan out front of the home on Churchill Place in #Gilroy where the 19-year-old shooter is suspected of living. Apparently, this is a family home. Santino William Legan's grandfather is a well known veteran. More details on
