    I've seen several reports that he was a big fan if Antifa and similar orgs, "liking" lots of their posts on Twitter. He was also very anti-ICE. Wouldn't it have been great if the Anti-Immigration guy and the Anti-ICE guy had just shot each other instead of all these innocent people?

    The target was his sister - for whatever reason. Everyone else was collateral damage/rage.

    Opinion or determined fact?

    Opinion, and I'd bet my left testicle it'll eventually be determined fact. That's just too much to be a coincidence.

    Interesting hypothesis but be careful assuming logic where there wasn't any.

    Less logic, more laws of probability. Plus reports said he shot his sister first, then started shooting others.

    Y'all see the video of the cops shooting the Dayton kid? They lit his ass up. Repeatedly. :beer:

    That's what they always do. It's rare for a cop to shoot somebody and not keep pulling the trigger until the bang bangs stop.

    Plus I think this guy was wearing some sort of body armor. He seemed to go down quickly though, so either it wasn't very good, or it was just a plate carrier/tac vest. What did they shoot him with? Pistols or rifles?

    The one cop you could see in the video looked to have a pistol, but there were other officers shooting, so who knows.

    I almost wish, they would shoot just enough to immobilize them, so they could suffer. But dead as shit works too.

    I'd be really surprised if they had rifles because they were on foot patrol in this party district, but you never know anymore.

    Some videos showed some of them still in their squad cars.

    From the interview with Anderson Cooper
    https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/05/politics/joe-biden-el-paso-shooting-cnntv/index.html

    Biden on Monday also doubled down on his support for a new assault weapons ban and suggested his administration would try to create a buyback program to get those weapons off the street.
    Asked what he would tell gun owners worried a Biden administration would be coming for their weapons, the former vice president jumped in to answer: "Bingo! You're right, if you have an assault weapon."
    "The fact of the matter is (assault weapons) should be illegal. Period," Biden said. "The Second Amendment doesn't say you can't restrict the kinds of weapons people can own. You can't buy a bazooka. You can't have a flame-thrower."
    Biden was clear that he would not seek to confiscate privately owned or purchased guns, instead advocating for "a national buyback program" intended to get the weapons "off the street."
    "That's not walking into their home, knocking on their doors, going through their gun cabinets, et cetera," he said.

    Umm ... it says exactly that. “... shall not be infringed.” Just because they already go against it doesn’t mean its true.
