A gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas Saturday morning, causing “multiple fatalities,” city police and officials said.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told Fox News that there were between 15 and 20 “casualties” of the shooting, but did not give a number of fatalities. Ryan Mielke, a spokesman for University Medical Center of El Paso, told Fox News that 13 patients — 1 of whom died at the hospital — were being treated at the facility’s Level 1 trauma center. Mielke told the Associated Press that says two children, ages 2 and 9, were stabilized at the medical center before being transferred to the neighboring El Paso Children’s Hospital.
Del Sol Medical Center told Fox News it has received 11 patients, 9 of whom were critical but stable condition and 2 who were in stable condition. The patients’ ages ranged from 35 to 82, the hospital said. El Paso police tweeted that blood donations were “needed urgently” to aid the injured.

This is so horrible. I am afraid it is the start of something. They really need to get antifa under control because they will run with it.

Okay. The reason I responded the way I did is that Twitter is full of rumors that it is Antifa behind the shootings, that there were multiple armed men in black etc. Lot of Q stuff.

THE victim here will be the 2nd Amendment. 1st and 4th are already on the ropes and 2nd’s been in the crosshairs for years.
Sort of nonsensical that the shooter would be wearing ear protection.

Because we can’t do **** about black or ‘Mexican’ crime in the US so we cover it up, excuse it and/or blame us. Last night in NOLA the 1st four stories on the news were about black shooters and a 5th was quite possibly the same from the location. It wasn’t ‘black violence’ it was ‘gun violence’.

Exactly what I was thinking and “Trump’s rhetoric” will have pulled the trigger with more culpability than the actual shooter.

The bad guys have their guns and ammo cached, their drug money and money from overseas support’s made sure of that and their political tools are trying to not only disarm Americans but the police too.
BTW, one of the biggest smugglers of illegal guns into the US. at least in the 90s, was the Chinese. Now they smuggle huge amounts of drugs here…our trading partners.

I’m waiting for the spin. El Paso’s right over the river from Juarez and gunplay leaks over but is largely ignored by the press as it casts a bad light on the shithole that’s alternately known as Mexico.
While I was Ft Bliss we were told it was out stripes, if we survived, if we went to Juarez. Juarez was forbidden as it was too violent, totally lawless and neither DoD or State would do anything for us were we to sneak in and get kidnapped or killed. Each day thousands of Mexicans cross into El Paso from Juarez to work,shop, conduct business or bring their crime with them and everyone on our side knows you can’t do anything about it and it gets worse every day. That was over 15 years ago, how much worse do you think it is today?

Isn’t it strange that after so many of these situations, the FBI says they were watching the shooter? I have to wonder if they were watching him waiting for the right time to turn him loose………..politically.

Wellllll, the CIA did have the MKUltra and if you Google ‘DARPA and mind control’ you’ll see a raft of cites, just as you would have in 2014 if you’d have Google-researched how DARPA was working on hacking into vehicle computers to take control of cars. Forbes blew the lid off of that in 2015 but, as they said pre-Forbes, the DARPA project on cars was pure SciFi, this probably is too. That article I saw in one of my military feeds regarding DoD trying to plant messages into a person’s mind remotely is probably pure SciFi too.

I looked up the killer’s name and discovered there are approximately 127-139 people with the same surname in the U.S. It is 100% in the “White” category. You can tell it’s a white guy from the photo. He’s probably a white supremacist psychotic. Being El Paso, the likelihood that many of the dead and wounded are Hispanic is high; but I also assume that he didn’t pick and choose but killed whomever he saw.
Too bad the cops didn’t have a chance for swift justice and save everyone a whole lot of trouble.
