It's dark to say "thankfully it was the main fed building and not the one I work in", but... thankfully it was the main fed building and not the one I work in.

Noticed when the shooter gets flushed out into the street, and he fires in the direction of where that cameraman/bystander, you can see the bullet impacts on the wall next to him. Those were close.

This shit was just up the street from where I'm working in downtown Dallas -- they utilized a controlled explosive on his car too, just in case.

This dude's Facebook is something else.

4chan memes all over the place mixed with random sexism and complaining about not being able to make transphobic and racist jokes.

Is there any way to make youtube stop doing that shit where they cover half the screen in ads for the next video? Because you can't see the person caught in the cross fire in your posted video because half the screen is taken up by an ad.
I don't get them anymore. First I manually blocked any that came up with uBlock Origin, kind of a brute force approach, until no more showed. I just disabled that to test, though, and it seems that my Privacy Badger and/or Firefox's built-in blocking is enough, now.

You could also use an alternate client (NewPipe for Android, FreeTube for desktop) or an alternate player site like Invidio.us.

Awesome, nobody got hurt. Makes this guy's death even more deliciously pointless. Anyway, what's for dinner tonight?

I don't think you can overstate how incredible that photo is. It is a perfect encapsulation of the insanity going on in the US right now. This is the real terrorism we face day to day.

Oh look all the warnings were in plain sight on his FB.

Can't wait to see he has a history on 4chan or 8chan.

Fucking loser. All prepped like he's in real life Counterstrike, then put down like the clown he is before he could do any damage. Fuck him. So tired of these maladjusted, young, single loser men getting radicalized from 4chan or wherever and then wanting to make the whole world burn down with them. Stop it already.

so tired of talking about mental health every time one of these comes up. nobody looks at similar incidents from even the relatively recent past under the same lens. When you do something ideological, it's terrorism, assassination, etc.

Maybe your wife leaving you or being depressed or something puts you in a mental space where you're more willing to do something violent but there's a lot of groundwork that goes into turning that into murderous attacks on the public. Especially politically symbolic locations.

It just seems like a convenient way to keep Americans from really reckoning with how much ideologically-driven violence we live under. We spent so long trying to act like that's the kind of thing that happens elsewhere but not here.

Appears to be a huge anime nerd and has him in Confederate regalia for a civil war reenactment... Pictures on his Facebook show him with a waifu body pillow.

Looking at his FB page, gee, I wonder where this incel got radicalized at? :p I hear they have the dankest of memes in Hell, Fail Boy! Maybe he should have bought cosplaying stuff and went to the con instead of extra magazines.

Agreed. Being depressed doesn't make you violent. Being radicalized does.

It absolutely is ideologically driven, and the way they look to do it on a mass scale is so terrifying. Like I understand spats in violent neighborhoods etc between a few people and while bad this level of violence to want to inflict on so many people is on some other shit entirely.

Hey look, it's an idiot. Tacticool to the max. Spent all that time making his dumb ass look good but apparently not enough time to actually learn tactics. Good job! No really, good job, being an idiot probably saved lives.

Edit: Larger image by the way in case it's useful for anyone for whatever reasons

Really is an amazing picture.

I just want to point out that he couldn't wear the face mask over his nose because it would have fogged up his glasses.

It's posted on his facebook, not sure if it's actually him or not.

Similar posture to the way he's posing with a gun with his face visible in another one, very specific hunch to his posture and all.

Also apparently there are a lot of photos of him in a military uniform. Unclear for now I guess if it's fake or legit, but if he has experience and training with the weapons that might explain his really brazen confidence.

Yeah I missed this... so he did see him take the pic... knew he was there, and was fucking with him with those shots.
