Yes. I wondered at the legality of a pic of a 14 year old being publish. Guessing that it's something to do with being charged as an adult.

He wasn't taken out of a South American jail and sent across the border into the US.

Clearly, he can't be guilty.

anything to avoid action on guns. And we can't even talk about it after a mass shooting. Or after the next mass shooting, or the next one, or the next one, and so on in perpetuity.

We don't know what else he was, not yet, and might never know since he's still a kid. The FBI is going to have a long time to pick this kid's brains in the hope we can predict his brethren better in the future.

I don't think they'll ever be able to do that, there are too many alienated WASP meles out there who don't shoot up schools, churches, supermarkets or Wal Marts

We're just going to have to get rid of the semiauto guns that make mass murder so easy for them.

Not an immigrant? Imagine that!
Not "an illegal?" Wow, how unusual!
Not a drag queen? Hard to believe!

Just an honest, gun-loving southern kid from a broken home. He should be cuddled, not condemned, don'tcha think?

According to the FBI, I don’t know for sure how much and how fast things will be released.
We will see how this goes but yes there is an internet history for the shooter having Trans/gay thoughts and feelings. The bullying may have started at home.

I am glad you’re not referencing that fake Twitter profile though, it looks like only the most gullible of people are falling for that one, right?
