#Denver #Shooting #Colorado
Who remembers that parade mass murderer in Waukesha? Apparently the media has completely forgotten.
Lets not forget. I write it every day on at least one MSM propaganda channel.
We still remember the blm Massacre Christmas parade
Yeah, that hardcore blm supporter than ran over all those old people and children celebrating Christmas? We all remember that Racist. Terrorist. Piece. Of. Crap.
Indeed, let’s not forget the Colorado Shooter here is an Incel who espoused Right Wing propaganda and is/was followed by several Right-Wing checkmarks on Twitter.
And who is he? Let’s see a photo.
@drew2 fast OMG no is it a strawman. Oh dam it you caught me. Lol, sounds like someone got their feelings hurt. Lol
@Tubal Cain Grammar check, man. That first “sentence” was barely english. And of course it’s a straw man. No one thinks this except the far right ignant mountain folk.
@drew2 fast god no! I must be really setting the trustworthiness of youtube commenters back by a lot. Bad grammar… check, straw-man argument…check. Who will be able to trust youtube comments after this?
@Tubal Cain lmao you want to be a victim so bad
@It’s not my wallet You idiots say this every shooting and you’re always wrong. Everyone knows what type of people commit these crimes.
This individual was on radar of law enforcement…. how many times have we heard that before?
@Tess Goodman in other words… we have to wait until someone is killed before actions can be taken? Tell that to the surviving family members.
Those red flags are doing the trick, thanks NRA. :-/
@Kurt M so youd rather we kill people who we suspect may turn bad…?
@Kurt M try telling that to people see what their reaction is
@Gladio Stay Behind Network This one is on conservatives. Red flag laws would have stopped this.
Way to go Denver. On the radar without watching this guy. Make sure all the victims and victims’ families hear that statement. This is top notch policing.
@jamesralcoon crazy people do crazy things despite what legal means are used. Same with criminals. Why massive police cuts and legislation passed emotionally never really works.
Bet you were loudly calling for defunding the police, yet, you still want them to prevent every crime.
@casey quinn What could he have sued them for? Stalking?
@Chris Angelina, you need to read on the topic. There are indeed a plethora of police agencies which have had defunding actions against their established budgets, in response to citizen requests to reduce the funding.
The net is literally littered with lists of those agencies which have had this action. Read away and broaden your horizons.
Many right wing men are on the radar. The Nasheville bomber was on the radar. Timothy McVey was on the radar. Roger Stone was on the radar…
Wait, what? The Colorado police knew about him? The guy killed 4 innocent people. That our Court system and police failed those citizens. That’s not good.
What do you want? Minority report? Trust me…. The state loves to prosecute people. If the man had done something prior that they could have charged him on they very likely would have. Outside of a thought a crime dystopia there isnt much you can realistically do.
@LoneStar Piper our courts are catch and release policy’s,so I find what you said null!
@LoneStar Piper It’s about criminals ! “Not skin color.” ! Don’t bring race into it.
@E.H. Catch and release, like Roger Stone? How about Steve Bannon? Both on the radar for crimes and they’re walking free until trial.
Weird how they always seem to be aware of these spree shooters well before hand…
This is America
Well, in all honesty, we only hear about the ones who end up doing something bad. I wonder how many are stopped before they get a chance to do anything?
Oh, and you don’t legislate good behavior. Americans seem to be confused that somehow laws and law enforcement will make people good. That stuff starts in the home, and the homes in America are seriously broken.
@John Tomasik solid points sir.
@John Tomasik plus In America, we would rather have criminals slip through than accidentally jail a innocent person. Especially for a crime they have no even Committed but are suspected of wanting to commit.
It boils down to, democracy has a lot of uncertainty attached to it. But we can’t let fear eat away at our freedoms. We have to be strong and understand the price of freedom. Strive to perfect it yes, but in a way that is totally respectful of our countries main promises to its people, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
No we wont ban guns because they can be used to shoot people. Just like we don’t ban cars after a lunatic runs through a parade.
But PS, can we agree a festival needs to have cement road blocks on all perimeters? They were sitting ducks in Wisconsin last month. And honestly I think the dude just drove down a random street may not have meant to do what he did since he clearly was running away from his original crime of having stabbed someone in a park nearby…
@lesmo whomever If it keeps happening why not keep paying attention? I didn’t insinuate anything other than they know these people are dangerous.
Why isn’t the suspect’s name being released? He’ll never be more than a suspect since he’s dead and can’t stand trial. Haven’t his next of kin been contacted yet?
Horrible tragedy and senseless loss of life. I will say it again, someone in the chain dropped the ball and another person “known” to police and on the “radar” slips through the cracks and people lost their lives.
The people who let these people do this MUST be held accountable. The government want to ban guns when it is government employees responsible for not having their hands on the wheel.
So many times… same story.
Do you not here your self you can be incent of one crime and guilty of another, if there was a good case against him they would have brought it to Court. For every thousand that act suspicious there might be one that abuses the trust of society. That would be the aforementioned slippery slope people always bring up. The law isn’t a tool to stop peoples right to choose.
@Terrence Moonseed spelling and grammar
@Jeff Baker Why he made sense though, one word misspelled “Innocent”
Dude was a Trumpee.
@Psychedelic Lizard And you’re a ————- ! And YouTube has begun the suppression of our thoughts AND our words ! 👎
The thing that gets me here is that innocent individuals are targeted, gangstalked and under surveillance 24/7 hrs a day in the USA, yet the REAL threats are not being watched. Smh.
because these are not crimes against the elite, they are against the common folk!!!
@RRM yeah it’s really a joke that innocent people who don’t even have guns are watched daily by police, military, govt. Put on the terror watchlist. It’s so backwards. What makes me such a threat that they have to deploy the military to follow me around at grocery stores, library and to laundromats. It’s so corrupt man it makes me sick!
i agree
People will always be crazy but I strongly believe that the softness that police are forced to coddle criminals with has made them more bold than ever
Bullshite.
Insanity is often concealed.
In Los Angeles police killed a 14 whom was trying on clothing. The suspect was killed also by a cop sporting an automatic weapon.
The same weapon responsible for an innocent girl’s death.
Show the so called coddling, please.
Bitte…
@Sid Viciousness I’m well aware of that incident, and obviously that’s not what I’m referring to…and cops don’t carry automatic weapons.
This was one of the most horrible stretches I’ve ever seen. How was the man coddled? Maybe if they made it harder to get gun with tougher background checks this wouldn’t have occurred so easily.
@DarkLight, actually that is not true. Police do carry select fire weapons. Some are single, 3 burst, fully auto and others are single & fully auto. I had a single – fully auto in my unit for the last 16 of my 16yrs.
I had the most faith in the Winchester Model 94 30-30 lever action when working the rural stations. Never jammed, if a primer was a dud, the next round was in the gun in less than a 2 seconds, never took the gun from my shoulder and there was no where to hid from a 30-30 on a traffic stop if the bad guy wanted to fight from his vehicle. It would go from the back of a truck all the way through everything and into the engine compartment, like it was butter and was accurate. I was sad they took it away and gave me an AR, but I understand the theory on why, given how many new officers can’t shoot a gun well and need lots of rounds.
The last thing people like this are thinking of when committing an act like that is what their punishment will be.
Spree? Seems a little methodical. If you Google for more info it’s a pissed-off nut with a gun, knew most of the people he shot, maybe not the random guy on the street he killed or the hotel clerk, but had a grievance with the Hotel. Hard to tell if he intended to end up at the hotel but he might have. Shoots 3 at Sol Tribe Tattoo parlor, shoots a guy on the street at 13th and Williams, shoots again at W 6th and Cherokee by Denver Health (random or intentional?)’ Denver police spotted his van and pursued him and he opened fire and got away at 8th and Zuni. He goes to Lucky 13 Tattoo in Lakewood, which he is connected to, and in about 10 seconds shoots a man there and then sets a van on fire in back, Lakewood police try to pull him over in Belmar District and he fires at them and they return fire, he gets away on foot and runs into a business flashes his gun at some people then runs to the Hyatt hotel and shoots the clerk. Lakewood police get there and try to stop him. Again, shots exchanged with one officer getting shot in the abdomen and McLeod killed.
I thought I read where he broke into a house somewhere along the way. So, the random guy on the street may have run out of a house and was shot in the street. Not sure. But that would make him not random.
Kids selling lemonade without a business license are on their radar.
No suspect info means it does not fit the narrative
Ask tattoo artists what makes people flip out most often and then you’ll know his motive.
Just a normal day in Murica. It’s hard to keep up with the amount of regular occurrences.
eventually all of these moronic murdering types will cull themselves from the gene pool
People are blaming the system. HOw many crazies out there are they supposed to watch? Look at the internet and how many crazies there are spouting craziness? There are what, 10 cops per a hundred thousand people? Lol
Of coarse they knew him and I’m sure he was on meds.
Just an American citizen protecting us from those evil tattoo shops.
How these on the radar people are still able to commit these crimes just goes to show how the system is broken. Better to suffer for doing the right thing instead of the wrong thing now people are dead.
