“…I was supposed to go into the military. I couldn’t wait on that, obviously.”
He couldn’t wait to murder people. There are some sick humans on this planet. Meet one of them. Strangely, not all of them are globalists but could join their ranks any time.
Firearms, whether pistols, rifles or shotguns; aren’t the problem. The problem is the mental sickness and the SIN NATURE that all human beings pocess!
How sad that somewhere along the line of life, that innocent child born became deranged and full of hate to become the man he is in this video. I would bet there are answers there. Just the same consequences for one’s actions are set and this man should never be allowed to hurt another human being again. Prayers for anyone harmed by his actions now, and anyone hurt by him in the past. This says more about our society, then the gun he used.
This will keep him from going into the military. He would be put into a wacko ward and never allowed a weapon of any kind
It truly is time to resurrect the death penalty.
End him. He’s useless other than being a proven lethal menace. END him before he definitely ends an innocent, because unchecked, he will.
Too bad there wasn’t an off-duty cop or CCW holder in the store at the time. This punk needed some lead therapy — always 100% effective.
Wtf is this world becoming? For one thing the legalization of drugs is one reason and the other is the lack of God in the world that is causing all this chaos happening. Another reason is the bs they show on tv and the liberal ideology that wants to take away our police force that gives people the illusion they won’t get prosecuted for crimes committed. It’s time to stop leftist ideology and bring God back in our schools to teach our children the importance of living by scripture
Looks Like Stupid Will Spend Its Life Being Looked After By Taxpayers!!-Do You Think This Would Of Happened If It Knew It Would Instantly Get The Death Penalty Without a Trial?-Much More Efficient And Cost Free!!
Fort Wayne is an awesome, mid size city whose fortunes are on the rise. This crazy asshole doesn’t represent what a great city it is.
