I have a friend who was also there, and was not injured. We are living in crazy times.

Saw CNN was reporting just now there may be more than one person involved, and they are working on that lead now. Not sure if they meant someone that was there, or someone involved but no present at fair.

Odd .. I recently read a couple articles on Skinheads and White Nationalists trying to sell their vegetables at local fairs and people outing them and telling them get lost and it upsetting some of them because they earn a living from the sales..

Thank whoever for todays medical advancements >>hoping the daughter has a speedy recovery and no spinal damage etc..

Hopefully they are all captured whoever it is..

What do we know about the shooter?

Less than a minute after receiving reports about the shooting, police engaged the suspect, who was shot and killed, Police Chief Smithee said.

“Some witnesses report that there may have been a second suspect but we don’t know if he was engaged in any shooting,” he added.

Smithee said it appears as though the suspect or suspects entered the festival through a nearby creek and cut through a fence. The festival entrance was guarded by metal detectors, police said.

Sad. I grew up in that area and have been to that festival as a kid. There is a 6 year old dead.

Mass shootings should no longer focus on gun control. The adage Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People is misleading but the intent is clear.

Mental illness has to be given more attention and funding. It's staggering how many people I see walking around talking to themselves. If you report them I don't think anything is done. I've never reported anyone, have any of you? If so what was the result?

My prayers and condolence go out to the families and friends of those killed or injured. 🙏🏿

Quote:
caption instructing people to read the novel “Might Is Right” by Ragnar Redbeard, authorities said.

The book, published in 1890, includes discredited principles related to Social Darwinism that have been used to justify racism, slavery and colonialism, said Brian Levin, director of Cal State San Bernardino’s Center on Hate and Extremism.

“The notion that people of color are biologically inferior is a key tenet of this book, and that biological determinism, the Darwinian view of the world, justifies aggression against diverse people and vulnerable people,” Levin said.

I had never heard of that gun he used, so I searched it and found a YT site called "God, family, and guns" touting it. Standard.

Bio; Santino William Legan. Garlic Festival Shooter
In case you're not familiar with the term incel, it means "involuntarily celibate"

I’ve got a feeling it was more incel and less Maga. There’s a documentary on the incel kid that shot up Santa Barbra, this feels very similar.
