Sounds like someone is not a fan of garlic. 

Gilroy is only 25 miles from Santa Cruz.  I'm not going to profile, but vampires would have a motive.

Reports on Twitter saying ambulance crews told 11 people on the ground.

  • Author

Perhaps as many as 60 injured

  • Author

Possibly more than one shooter

Well crap, sounds pretty bad on twitter.  To add to the above, 2 suspected shooters, 1 of them down and the other still on the loose.

Sources tell me at least a dozen people have been injured, and “probably not more than 40”. The source adds, “There are dead. Count not coming in just yet as they are still on an active shooter op.” Guy in cammo jumping fences, according to source. #ABC7now

Fuck. We almost went this weekend 

Starting to see clips on twitter showing the wounded. Social media definitely  changes the way we take in these tragedies.

Sheesh. That one dude looks like he got shot up pretty badly.

twitter indicates one of the dead is a 3 year old  /FWIW

At least four dead (15 injured), including the shooter. Second person possibly involved, but not sure if a shooter or in a supporting role.

Edited by C-Man

Press conference says the murderer and maybe an accomplice came up a creekbed and cut through a fence.  The festival had security and metal detectors at the entrances.  The killer was taken down within a minute of starting the shooting.  Witnesses say there was a second person involved in some way, that's who they are still searching for.

cops are incredible, the accuracy, the fast twitch as if they are trained to anticipate a shooting at any moment

That’s quite literally their job, especially when they work security at events. I’m just a regular citizen and even I expect a shooting to breakout anytime I’m in public, I would hope the cops would be ready too.

I got a mental image of a guy ducking and hiding behind everything when out in public. 

I thought garlic was supposed to ward off bad things.

But my second amendment, Bro!

A mass murder is kind of hard to confine in it's response. I do respect your opinion, but to quote a previous response...

Fuck man I hate this shit.    

 

I thought Gil Bang was supposed to start all Cali threads?

OP gonna get negged by Mr Peebles.

I feel pressed to say something and not mince words; this smells like an Italian job.

Reports are shooter was of Italian descent. 

I've thought about going a bunch of times as it is kind of a Bay Area thing like the Half Moon Bay pumpkin festival.

Quote

Santino William Legan, 19, was identified by police sources Monday as the gunman who also injured 15 in Sunday’s carnage before being shot dead by cops, according to numerous media outlets including the Associated Press.

Gilroy Garlic Festival shooter said he attacked ‘because I’m very angry’: witnessAn Instagram account holder using the same name and age, calling himself “Italian Iranian,” had just three posts and went offline soon after he was first identified as the killer.

It featured a picture from the garlic festival before the carnage — as well as praise for what has been called “one of the most incendiary works ever to be published anywhere.”

“Read Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard,” the account wrote next to a photo of a Smokey the Bear sign warning, “Fire danger high tonight.”

He was referring to a much-hated 1890 book embraced by white supremacists that was banned for years after being condemned as sexist, racist and anti-Semitic.

“Why overcrowd towns and pave more open space to make room for hordes of mestizos and Silicon Valley white twats?” the Instagram message continued, using a Hispanic slur for people of mixed race.

Before that, he posted a photo from inside the garlic festival.

“Ayyy garlic festival time. Come get wasted on overpriced s–t,” the account stated next to a view of the festival.

Well, not to quibble, but as an independent term, I don't think "mestizo' is actually a slur.  It's actually still used in latin america, as an anthropological descriptor.  "Twats," however.....that's rarely used as a term of endearment.

Just being a vocab snob here.

First time I heard mestizo was on Young Guns 2.

It was used in the early 70's in my elementary school to describe (accurately) persons from Latin America of mixed Spanish/indigenous decent.   It's news to me if it's now a slur.

Better to err on the side of PC caution.  I've never used it, sure as hell not gonna use it now.

Mestizos? Yea this dude was off. No one uses that word anymore

But my second amendment, Bro!

Get the cloak room out of here. Don’t be a bitch. It’s not like another law was gonna keep him from doing that.

I’m surprised there’s a Garlic festival. I mean, do they have contests to see who can grow the biggest one or strongest flavored?

Well this cat certainly wasn't 'growing the biggest one'.  Probably why he was so angry.  

when are terrorists not terrorists?  

yea its just a label but labels are convenient way to derogatorily label certain groups while conveniently omitting others.

So, an Italian Iranian guy was referencing a book popular with white nationalists. Was he also blowing folks for meth?

well, persians are the original aryans.
