Don't shoot the messenger if it's all BS.

 

No you deserve to get dunked on, man.

How many fucking times do I have to say that these OSINT Twitter accounts post nonstop bullshit and you dumbasses should stop PRONG HORN posting them every time there's breaking news? Like, just have the smallest amount of media literacy and restraint.

Shooter apprehended, supposedly.

Sounds like maybe they'll all pull through?

Honestly, these days I'll give "credit" to a nutjob targeting capable, trained men and women or someone with a security team vs. schools.

It's a good way to FAAFO, that's for sure.

The soldier accused of opening fire Wednesday at his Army base in Georgia, wounding five people, had endured relentless bullying over his stutter almost as soon as he joined the military, former co-workers said.

Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, was picked on during the roughly two months in 2018 he spent at the Army’s Advanced Individual Training (AIT) school at Fort Lee in Virginia, according to two people who served with him there.

“He got bullied a lot,” said Sgt. Cameron Barrett, 28, who became friends with Radford during that time. “It was very bad to the point where he could barely talk.”

Barrett said people would mock Radford by also pretending to have a stutter. He said the apparent speech impediment was a “trigger” for Radford, who endured the mocking by being silent.

Still, Radford showed no signs of anger, resentment or deeper issues, Barrett and other fellow soldiers said. And to those who got to know him, the reserved Radford shared a goofier and playful side, they said.

So, they said, the Wednesday morning shooting at Fort Stewart came as a complete shock.

...

Some soldiers who met him that year in AIT school were left shocked and confused. They said Radford appeared laid back, despite being teased for his stutter.

“It was easy for those people to make fun of him for the way he spoke,” said Sgt. Carlos Coleman, who was in the same formation as Radford during that training. “After that, he really didn’t speak that much.”

“I just saw him get quiet,” Coleman, 27, added. “I’ve never seen him angry. That’s why I’m so surprised.”

...

Cobb, who was Radford’s superior until roughly a year ago, when they both moved to different units, said she was heartbroken and at a loss for words. Radford, she said, didn’t show stress or anger and did not appear to have issues with co-workers.

“I’ve never gotten that from him,” she said. “He was a hard worker. If he had any issues, he would come to me, ask for advice. I just didn’t see that coming.”

Radford’s father, Eddie Radford, could not be reached Thursday and declined to comment Wednesday evening, telling NBC News it was a “bad time” to talk.

The suspect’s father told The New York Times that his son had been trying to transfer out of Fort Stewart, where he had experienced racism.

Eddie Radford said his son texted his aunt Wednesday morning, saying that “he loved everybody, and that he’ll be in a better place because he was about to go and do something,” the Times reported. 

 

Interesting new reporting on the incident

I wonder whether he just shot everybody near him - or whether he directed his wrath at the people who made fun of him.   If people are intentionally cruel to other people and karma pays them back in a way exponentially stronger than their shitty treatment of others, I have far less sympathy for them getting shot.

You never know how people internalize how other people treat them. They might now show any signs but could be absolutely boiling underneath.

Not forgiving him at all but people need to stop bullying others especially for shit they can’t control

we need a better definition of what "mass" shootings means by now.  I mean, 5 people died of malaria in the time that this dude killed 5 people for whatever reason.   so do we have to fear mass murdering flying insects now?

Depends on what caliber the malaria is.
