Sigh, another mass shooting at SunTrust Bank in Sebring, FL

Featured Replies

Doesnt even seem like he planned to rob the place. Shot 5 people and then called 911 to confess.

if the other bank-goers were armed they couldve shot back

Absolutely

Often wondered why banks don't let customers come in armed.

Courthouses too.

Is 5 people considered a "mass" shooting in Florida?

If the money had guns none of this would have happened. 

no, this is wrong.  money can’t operate a firearm.  it’s inanimate.

I think anything over 4 is considered that by the fBI.

Authorities identified the suspect as 21-year-old Sebring resident Zephen Xaver,

Need to arrest his parent(s) for dooming him with that name.

Sounds to me like we need to build a wall.

Around Florida, but still.

A moat across the northern part.    That is mined and heavily guarded.   With a single bridge allowing access for non-Floridians to visit Orlando.  Also, make Key West its own state.

The great American hero Bugs Bunny came up with the solution decades ago.

We don't allow open carry at mine, but yeah concealed is fine.

It was an edgy joke that got negged. But TIL 4 is the litmus test - that's actually interesting.

Couldn't we just move Disney somewhere else?

I read the CNN report.  Two things stood out to me.

I'm guessing some shit went down at the jail that broke the kid.

I thought it might have been, because Florida. You got negged for it? That’s some bitchassiness.

I can't figure surly

Like some disaster/shooting threads all T&P, and others are snarky comments; must be mental problems that come from multiple personality poster disorder

Natural disasters and sickness and dead dogs are always t&p.

 

Anything that involves firearms is partial t&p and gun bashing by some. But this is Florida.

It has to be more than 10 and the perp had to use an "assault rifle" or it's not noteworthy. 

Just walked right in and bought a gun. Who needs background checks?

 

Law enforcement also didn't say what kind of gun Xaver had, but his ex-girlfriend, Alex Gerlach, told the Washington Post that Xaver said he’d bought a gun just last week. She wasn’t especially surprised given that he’d always liked firearms.

Gerlach told the Associated Press that Xaver “always hated people and wanted everybody to die.” She also told the Post the two met at a psychiatric hospital in 2013.

“Since the time we met, he had this fascination with death,” Gerlach told the Post. “It got worse as we broke up. We got back together on and off for a while. Then I decided it was too much for my mental health.” She also said he aspired to join the military, because he wanted to kill people.

Two Facebook accounts linked to Xaver (which have since been taken offline) were littered with dark imagery, like pictures of the Grim Reaper. His interests include “Alex Jones memes” and “Milo Yiannopoulos,” whose book he gave a five-star rating.

This will surprise you, but if he bought a gun from a dealer, he passed a background check. The police absolutely know what type of firearm was used but pump shotgun or revolver isn’t sexy and doesn’t sell.
