Rev Rye gave a pretty good description of him a few posts up (#125).
When I heard his age I was shocked because I was guessing at least 40 from the picture I saw of the police walking him toward the patrol cars.

Not sure if you are trying to be funny here. But America's firearm violence epidemic has to do with how many we make and how easy they are to get, regardless of motive. Our Christian right love guns as much as Bin Laden did.
I will say Israel is just as religiously motivated in stupidly following Bibi as White Christian nationalists stupidly follow Trump.
But that doesn't make MSB hero either.
I never try to be funny, I'm fun by nature.
Who's MSB?

Are you upset because the Israelis are better at intelligence than ISIS? And yes, I get that you were making a joke, but the intelligence service in question would be Mossad (since the US is overseas).

ISIS is the creation of the Mossad.

It appears my assumption may have been wrong, or at least partly so.
I assumed a white, redneck, Trump supporter, with a name like Billy-Bob, or something similar.
Let's not forget, however, that having a Middle-Eastern name does not mean a Muslim.

Um actually his brother reported to news media that he had been bullied in school for being a Muslim.
But that doesn't matter to me, I have long since stopped giving a shit about motive, or race or religion or politics or mental illness. These events happen because firearms are too easy to get and our vetting process sucks.

Not caring about the motives or causes behind mass shootings is simply stupid. You'll never stop or appreciably lessen them just by focusing on guns availability and vetting.
If someone wants to kill a bunch of people, making guns harder to get won't stop them. If someone doesn't want to kill a bunch of people, giving them all the guns in the world won't make them.

These shootings happen because pissed off people have too ready access to firearms.

And yet there are millions and millions of pissed off people with ready access to firearms who DON'T commit these kinds of shootings (or any kinds of shootings).
Limiting access to firearms is not a bad idea, but it isn't the only piece of the puzzle.

The Official Mass Shooter Thread
March 24, 2021 at 7:18 am
Post all your gun concerns and current events regarding mass shootings right here in this handy-dandy thread.
I did search through eleven pages, thinking surely there was already such a thread, but even if there was it is ancient news by now. Therefore, new thread.
We managed to get through 2020 without the concern of mass shootings to bother us on top of C-19, but now it seems mass shooters are crawling from the woodwork to once antagonize us regarding the sad fact that conservatives enjoy our liberal tears over wanting reasonable gun control laws.
Anywho, let the mass shootings commence.
