December 6, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, Hermanator said: I'll be surprised if the 2 people in the house in Austin were random. There were two different houses in Austin, each with two deceased, along with the pair in Bexar County. It does seem hard to believe these victims were selected randomly.

If this is not him then my apologies Shane Man if that’s him that’s an interesting way to describe some jobs he’s had. Not much of a work history at all really for 34. And he was an Uber driver. That seems to be his longest job.

I'd say there was probably something wrong with him.

December 6, 20232 yr Thread title should be Central Texas Spree Shooter, apparently. Really curious about his story. Reminds me somewhat of the dude who went off the rails in the Memorial Area of Houston on Memorial Day, 2016 Edited December 6, 20232 yr by texasdago

Reminds me somewhat of the dude who went off the rails in the Memorial Areas of Houston in 2016 A lot of these people sadly have the same trajectory. Some of it is CR related (guns) and some of it is “what is the solution” to the mental health question(s). Sad shit all the way around. I mean I know he was trying to put his minor career history in a positive light (resume embellishment workshop) but it reads as absolutely unhinged in retrospect. Otherwise I would have thought it was a person with a sense of humor. “Modular Specialist at Walmart.”
December 6, 20232 yr I love Spree Me too. Chewy ones are legit as well. Does all of this tie in to the sugar baby that killed the guy?

Gotta give this guy credit, other than being mentally unhinged/prone to violence/wildly unfettered access to firearms...his background/demography departs markedly from the usual type of mass-shooter. And yes, this counts as a mass-shooting, iH-35 traffic delays notwithstanding.

December 6, 20232 yr Popular Post One has to admit that the I-35 traffic alone probably saved 4-5 more lives.
December 6, 20232 yr Booked on 4 charges. Had 3 additional warrants https://www.tcsheriff.org/inmate-jail-info/inmate-info/find-an-inmate#/sip/2328208
December 6, 20232 yr Just now, ztejas said: We need to build a wall. Around San Antonio. Just make the road a toll road with multiple booths. Have you seen people scramble off a tollway at the last free exit? Travel would shut down. —————— Not saying possible motive but he had a warrant out for his arrest prior to his spree. He was wanted on a warrant for assault with injury-family violence. Guess his folks were probably at the end of their rope trying to get him help and like so many parents and relatives wound up victims as well. Just fucking sad.

December 6, 20232 yr What makes me think it was a personal vendetta for all the victims is that he could have killed the cyclist but didn't. Same with the cops.
December 6, 20232 yr Work is hard to come by, but a college grad with Walmart, car wash, laborer, and then CDL but "did not complete the hiring process due to medical background" is pretty sad. Two thoughts: - those and shooting are effects of a common cause: weirdo. - shooting is effect of guy getting depressed from a going-nowhere life.
December 6, 20232 yr Car chase ended with him hitting an occupied Tesla. 1) Tesla is a great car to hit to end a car chase 2) guy who was in the car (unharmed) is incredibly lucky and unlucky.

We can spin the American Wheel of Winning, to see if it stops on 1) obviously mentally ill (with no real apparatus to intervene), 2) gun freak who can acquire whatever weapons of mass-killing he'd like, 3) young white guy pissed that the world isn't catering to him like he was told it should, or....my personal favorite...4) all three. We'll see what the wheel stops on. Who knows? Maybe there's an all-new brand of fuckery we can learn about with this one!

Though the timeline and geography is weird... One of the articles said that two of the people who were killed had literally just moved into their house a couple of days before. Were they from SATX? So much "fog of war" information out there right now.
December 6, 20232 yr Just now, Texas Jeff said: In a random collision in Austin, the chance of that happening is like 1 in 3. Incorrect. It's 1 in 2. Yes, 1 in 3 cars on the road is a Tesla, but the odds of a person driving a Tesla changing lanes with no warning because dammit they own the road are immensely higher than usual.

Chewy are better than regular but the regular last longer. Of course, the only reason to buy either variant of Spree is because the store is out of Sweetarts for some reason.

Elon's Launch After-Party seems to have taken an awkward turn in that case. literally. I can judge because I'm not on the Bench and I'm not in the Jury Box. This guy was wound up to believe that he was beaten down in life and the only way he could prove his worth as a man was to take it out violently on other people. Thankfully, for him, such violence was readily available to his obviously sick ass for 4 easy payments of $99.95 with no questions asked. What happened to the old days when downtrodden men took it out on a fist-fight or a bottle of booze or a large-mouthed bass?

December 6, 20232 yr I was asking what platform it was from, not who actually said it.It was the Circle C Facebook group. I also have friends who lived across the street who came and stayed at our house last night that were able to provide more info from immediate neighbors.

December 6, 20232 yr So this is a better timeline of events. Wondering (if he drove to Austin to eliminate specific targets) if the one of his intended victims worked at the school where the first officer was shot. Because the map makes no sense. Or if he intended to do something more at that specific location. But because he shot the officer who was able to radio for help he moved on to the couple at Shadywood? https://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/austin-shooting-today-mopac-la-crosse-ave/269-cde30041-0fed-4963-8080-fe4804a8cc89
