To date, I have seen NO speculation on whether he put the patch on himself, acquired the vest with patch already attached, or whether a search of his house (carried out about 6:30 last night)\u00a0 turned up any more &#8216;extremist&#8217; material. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/texas-mall-shooting-live-gunman-042900599.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9yLnNlYXJjaC55YWhvby5jb20vX3lsdD1Bd3JFcXR5WVJWbGtmTlFPYWk1WE55b0E7X3lsdT1ZMjlzYndOaVpqRUVjRzl6QXpFRWRuUnBaQU1FYzJWakEzTmovUlY9Mi9SRT0xNjgzNjAwOTIwL1JPPTEwL1JVPWh0dHBzJTNhJTJmJTJmd3d3LmFvbC5jb20lMmZ0ZXhhcy1tYWxsLXNob290aW5nLWxpdmUtZ3VubWFuLTA0MjkwMDU5OS5odG1sL1JLPTIvUlM9QWpuMHdKWlRPc1hQMTc1YzFkQnlTVkRxVGdzLQ&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAANMG1r--OrEpWUjWoPUwrxhM7Eu2OWhb75_dCeb6TzedBA4wrnzxp-ctVVe3h8-p8SWr4TjZ9g_xmlpQ1-q21S2MGQ0IJp5AAqkENe59YVxdORUPUZgkIjqzlkz4wbI8LoKZ6YUtPcCIQrAnLaidorW3Bk6dJtj9rnd86b0fAdxi\">The Independent via AOL<\/a>\u00a0 One would think that a salient piece of info to have?<\/p>\n<p>2) The shooter had previously attempted to make it into the Army but was booted after three months on a discharge which did not specify why he was booted (presumably a &#8220;failure to adapt&#8221; or some such.

Lots of ink (I see little oild ladies in grocery stores sporting ink sailors of my youth would blanche at.)<\/p>\n<p>But all in all, someone who seems to have planned to train, through the Army or as an armed guard, for years to be some kind of badass even if only in his own mind. We&#8217;ll probably hear more about him, since they can try to make him fit the right-wing extremist mold they want to portray. Unlike, say, the trans shooter in Nashville who supposedly left an extensive manifesto &#8211; which seems destined not to reach the light of day. Or the shooter\u00a0 in Cleveland, TX, thrice deported who just keeps sneaking back in.<\/p>\n<p>President Biden, by the way, is splashing knee-deep in the victim&#8217;s blood and calling for a ban on &#8220;assault weapons&#8221; because of this.\u00a0 Geez, Joe, at least let the bodies cool. But that would probably allow too much time for normal people to wonder why,\u00a0 if bad people committed crimes do the good folks need to pay?<\/p>\n<p>You would almost think that someone who really wanted to get to the root of all these &#8220;mass shootings&#8221; would do some basic analysis of which groups of people DO that sort of thing.
