5 dead in Texas After a Texas family asked a neighbor to stop shooting a gun in his yard

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

After a Texas family asked a neighbor to stop shooting a gun in his yard because their baby was trying to sleep, he came over and killed 5 people with an AR-15 style rifle, police say.

Neighbors came to a Texas man's fence and asked him to stop firing his gun in his yard because they had a baby next door who was trying to sleep.

In response, police say the man drunkenly went next door and killed five people with an AR-15-style rifle, ABC News reported. He remains at large.

It is the latest in a string of shootings resulting from seemingly normal and even mundane interactions.

1. JFC stop the insanity

[dalton99a]

2. Shooter:

[Deuxcents]

3. I'd say this guy's life is over..all because of guns

[yaesu]

5. Mainly because he's an alcoholic and probably an avid fox Russia propaganda channel viewer. nt

[BlackSkimmer]

35. From what I've read, he's a Mexican national.

Not so sure about his drinking or tv viewing habits though.

Certainly not a voter in this country.

[COL Mustard]

13. If he's lucky, his life

Will be over soon. It may be suicide by cop, or trying to escape.

[Tribetime]

15. F him his life don't matter only the 5 killed matter

[Deuxcents]

17. I agree...my point was he's most likely gonna die when he's caught.

The innocents are always what matters, imo.

[LisaL]

59. If he makes his way back to Mexico, they won't extradite him

to TX if he is to face a death penalty.

[Artcatt]

33. Too bad his life didn't "end" before he murdered five people

[tinrobot]

34. As are the lives of five other innocent people.

[Lovie777]

4. And it's going to get worst..............

[sanatanadharma]

6. Because the look-like weapons of war are toys to be enjoyed, like darts

Because the look-like weapons of war are toys to enjoy, like darts.
Or, as I am told, simply tools, and tools are to be used.

America has too many "tools" with 'toys', mostly boys with balls but no brains.

Gun apologists are not necessarily dumb, but they are on the wrong side of any valid measure of ethics of humanity.

[lpbk2713]

7. Why not put a breathalyzer interlock on firearms?

This dipshit makes a good argument for one.

[central scrutinizer]

8. Second amendment trumps first amendment

When guns are present, many are afraid to speak out, lest this happen to you..

[Ms. Toad]

12. Well - the first amendment doesn't cover private restriction of speech.

But yeah, my first reaction was that I would not approach an active shooter (even one shooting at inanimate objects) and ask them to change their behavior. Given the hair trigger far too many who love their guns possess it seems more prudent to avoid direct involvement. I might call law enforcement.

[Autumn]

9. Boy that well regulated militia man sure stood his fucking ground.

Eight fucking years old. I'm so fucking done with this bullshit. Texas needs to leave the Union. It's a totally unnessacary part of our country.

[Paladin]

11. Yeah, because Texas is the only state where these tragedies happen, huh?

Try paying attention to current events. Gun-related slaughters are a national problem; have been, for some time...

[Autumn]

27. Yeah I pay attention. I have gun humper family in Houston. nt

[USALiberal]

64. OK.....

[flying_wahini]

14. Another smear for Texans here.

[paleotn]

18. Greg Abbott keeps winning elections.

So does Ted Cruz. Statewide elections mind you.

[moniss]

23. Abbott

will probably hold a press conference to announce he's going to ask the parole/pardons board to issue one for this new "hero" of his.

[Autumn]

28. Yep, and no matter what they will vote for him. Thoughts and prayers and

vote for Abbot and Cruz.

19. Fuck that horseshit

Texas gets bashed, not because it's the only place this happens, but because the Texas legislature works overtime to make shit like this easier to happen

If you're embarrassed to be from there, change the fucking leadership of the state.

[Shipwack]

32. We're trying. Gerrymandering is making it tougher than it should be, though. nt

[area51]

63. +1

A lot of us in Texas do our part to get decent people elected; tired of the Texas-bashing.

[Skittles]

60. I agree with this assessment

Texas deserves to be bashed

and I have lived here almost five decades

[flying_wahini]

67. It's called gerrymandering. Look it up

[ZonkerHarris]

25. for good reason. Don't act like Texans are innocent here. The citizenry keeps electing scum that

enable events like this to happen.
Just because you might be in the electoral minority doesn't mean this isn't what Texas stands for.
This is Texas until it changes.
Too bad.

[Autumn]

29. Well Texas keeps voting for those SOBs who legislate all that fucking freedumb.

But look on the bright side. New hero's for the MAGAtts.

[USALiberal]

65. thanks for your detailed analysis!

[Paladin]

20. FYI: 3 dead, 1 wounded in Philadelphia today. (nt)

[BlackSkimmer]

37. News reports say he is a Mexican national.

So I doubt he cares about our laws, no matter what state.

[Autumn]

38. So can non citizens buy assault weapons?

[BlackSkimmer]

43. You must have missed the memo.

Anyone can buy assault weapons.

[Autumn]

46. I had no idea that they could buy assault weapons.

[BlackSkimmer]

47. Ah, I was being sarcastic, cynical, whatever you want to call it.

I think my cat could probably buy an assault weapon if he put his mind to it.

[sir pball]

54. From a dealer, no. Privately, there's literally no rules.

I mean, there's theoretical laws against privately selling to a banned person but since there's no mechanism for private sellers to actually check the legality of a buyer it's practically unregulated.

It's why I always sell through an FFL and keep a bill of sale with the dealer's info. I will not pass on a firearm to someone without an NICS check.

[BlackSkimmer]

55. Yes, no doubt my cat could pass an NCIS check.

Or, knowing him, maybe not.

But I get your point.

[Earl_from_PA]

41. Mexican national

Previously deported at least twice, per Univision 45 Houston. Im betting that the right will try to make this about border security.

[BlackSkimmer]

44. The victims were Honduran. Not sure what the right can do with this.

A tragedy, no matter what.

[spinbaby]

48. They already have

A quick look at Twitter reveals a lot of blaming Biden’s border policy.

[AverageOldGuy]

10. Anyone ever see the movie "Chinatown"?

Remember the final scene where the old detective says to Jack Nicholson's character: "Forget it, Jake - - it's Texas."

[Cha]

16. Catch the Stupid Mass Murdering Fuck

and Throw him in Prison for LIFE.. see how he does in there. GD Evil Idiot.

[CatWoman]

30. #1

[Joinfortmill]

21. I'm done. Death Penalty for these people.

[ZonkerHarris]

24. I'm for the guillotine in this situation. Make a day out for everyone to watch.

[MarcA]

49. Actually, I am for Restitution.

Many medical research projects need test subjects. No, I Am Not Being Facetious. In heinous cases like these where guilt is not in question, absolutely. It is a beneficial way to pay back Society for their crimes.

[USALiberal]

66. You would love china! They execute a lot of people.

[H2O Man]

22. Terrible.

[Mr. Sparkle]

26. That is the sickest thing i have ever read on here

Words fail me.

[Turbineguy]

31. Will the perp be able

to fire his gun while in prison?

[Lasher]

36. The suspect has been located.

They have him surrounded, but not in custody.

The suspect, a 38-year-old man who fled the scene, has been located and surrounded by law enforcement, San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told NPR. The alleged gunman is not yet in custody.

[pandr32]

42. Hopefully he doesn't kill or hurt anyone else.

[sir pball]

45. Well, except itself.

This subhuman should eat its own barrel, but it's probably too cowardly.

[pandr32]

51. Agreed.

[JanLip]

50. I figured he would have crossed the border

Into Mexico by now. Hope they get him. I guess he’ll plead not quilty if he lives that long

Jan

[Lasher]

52. He still might do that.

He's escaped the location where they had him surrounded. Now they don't know where he is.

[LisaL]

56. I have no doubt that's where he is headed.

Mexico won't extradite if death penalty is on the table (which in TX it will be).

[LisaL]

57. They didn't locate him.

NT

[OverBurn]

39. Hope they just kill him. He doesn't deserve to live.

[pandr32]

40. It's almost as if guns have a life of their own.

I mean, when some yahoo covets them, purchases them, fondles them and feels how manly it makes them feel, they simply must get some use and freedom! Especially after a few drinks.
True story. I was camping at a property we owned with my mother who had brought a shotgun just in case. Cougars were a local problem. One evening after a beach bonfire she had a few drinks too many and started to imagine things beyond the light of the bonfire. She couldn't wait to use the gun she had brought and went off into the darkness firing off shotgun shells. In the morning we found she had shot at a stray cat--not the ferocious cougar she imagined. It was her property and oh well.

53. "Everyone shot from the neck up,

almost execution style." - Sheriff/Police

Fortunely I will never again have to even drive through Texas where you're liable to get shot for honking your horn at a reckless driver.

[Initech]

58. Hey NRA:

[apnu]

61. And Republicans say San Fran and Chicago are hell holes

This random gun violence keeps happening in their own backyards.

62. Governor Abbott's tweet.

Mark the time.
