Reported: Active shooter in Odessa, TX

[Killadocg23]

You know what just makes me livid? For kicks I like to check out the coverage on MSNBC. It is a know your enemy kind of thing for me. They are already pumping the gun control narrative over this shooting. They use phrases like "here we go again". But what they won't do is say one word about the 50 people who will be killed on the streets of Chicago during the labor day weekend.

Just curious and a serious question. Why do people compare the two? Chicago's killing are because of gangs,drugs etc and we KNOW why people get shot there all the time because of stuff like that. Thats a KNOWN fact. Why are you comparing random mass shootings to that scenrio. Neither one is ok in my book but I see no correlation on being killed over gangs ,drugs etc and being killed just because you were riding on the freeway and some "lunatic decides to shoot you, or shopping in walmart and some random guy who you never met decides to take your life will picking up fruit. Not defending chicago as it is all crap but just trying to see your point on how it is relevant? Because in MY opinion "and we all have our own" they are two totally different circumstances. We all know that if we go on the south side of chicago there a probability of something happening. None of us expect to be killed while shopping at walmart or minding our business on the freeway.

So, a murderer perpetrating the crime is down. However, was there actually one murderer or two? If so, which one did they get, the USPS truck or the Toyota? Garbage reporting.

My point was obvious to most. The point is that the media says nothing about mass killings all over inner cities because they can't use it to pump an agenda. Most people really don't care about inner city shootings because they think it won't affect them. But random shootings are easy to utilize for fear purposes. Hope that helps you to better understand.

Why? Because the grabbers want to cause problems for and to disarm folks that AREN'T causing any problems, that's why...but they NEVER say what they are going to do to stop violent criminals in Chicago and other big cities, who they KNOW are killing people. Their little schemes are only against us "flyover country deplorables" and NEVER about the violent gangs who continuously shoot and kill. They don't care about people being killed, they only care about disarming us. THAT'S why!

At one point they did report two shooters. Now they are saying one. I also just got a text saying one shot and one arrested. Maybe the reporting is just too early for accuracy.

Started as a traffic stop, started shooting.

Most likely the Toyota truck.

Grabbed a postal truck.

So the cops stop a criminal and he carjacks another vehicle (a crime) and starts randomly shooting over 20 people (20 more crimes) and the pols are going to use this to try and pass more gun control?
I think that's a bridge too far even for CNN and the democrat party (BIRM).

Just curious....is there any mention of what kind of firearms the shooter used? I haven’t seen anything in any of the articles I’ve seen so far.

I heard Julian Castro on CNN saying that we should ban all “weapons of war.” Not a surprise.

We never had these sort of tragedies before the advent of so called Social Media!

We live in a messed up world.
