FWIW, they're posting what the news is showing on TV live.
yea, I figured. It's not him. They're looking for the wrong guy.

I'm only editing to not get a ban but it came directly from the police chief. I don't think a ban would be fair at all.

Did you end up deleting my original link? Just want to make sure. Don't want to get banned.
What was Tomi Lauren's tweet?
This thread is moving really fast and I do not want to recklessly speculate. The cynic in me hopes this is not the beginning of another media narrative to incite violence. Peaceful protesting is perfectly fine and now the actions of these monsters killed these officers are going to make life much harder for people across the country.

Open carry. It's Texas.
Back pic of same guy from reddit
Just walking down the street with an assault rifle. Nope, nothing to see here.
CBS posted that pic as the confirmed person of interest. Not the pic from behind but the other one that ElectricBlanketFire posted.
I wouldn't be shocked if the people who did this were ex military. I mean clearly they had some sort of training.

things could be far, far worse.
Let's get the stereotypes out of here, cities like Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio are huge international metropolises with many expats from coastal liberal states and huge immigrant populations. They are some of the most liberal places in the country.

As long as your not in the thick of it, you probably don't have a reason to feel unsafe. No sick fuck is going to go door to door mowing down people tonight.
When violence isn't handled, when people who need to answer for brutality don't get questioned, civilians think they need to take things into their own hands.

This is why accountability is important and now, here we are.
Christ, my prayers to the families of the Dallas cops that were injured/killed. And to the protestors who got their peaceful protest ruined by one/two madmen who had enough.
I don't particularly think it's right to blame anyone, however. Something like this was bound to happen because nothing is happening to change the way things are going. It's human nature.
But, also:
It shouldn't have been possible for a civilian to have a FUCKING sniper rifle.
God dammit, America.

Um, are you alright?
To be fair the Dallas PD said it was a suspect and then said oh he's just a POI.

read my other post, I understand what open carry is, that's not what I'm talking about in terms of my comment

I really doubt this guy is a shooter; no extra ammo as far as we can see, walking with the crowd. It makes it unlikely that he would get into position before the shooting starts, or even less likely after.
I don't know, just sounds to me like if anyone had carefully planned this and were more than one, they would prepare more stealthily.

You're stereotyping an entire state of people.
Mhmm doesn't look like he is one of the culprits then

Huh. Guess he's not the guy then.
I have a hard time believing that could be the subject... it looks like that picture was from the march after the rally, which means he would have only had like 30-45 minutes to set up. The first picture I took of the March is timestamped at 8:22 and I think that pic is later in the march

Regardless of the individual being identified or not as the actual shooter in the coming hours, he is still a person of interest and that information is relevant and important right now.

Something about 'welcome the new KKK it's Black Lives Matter.' And how she says 'Blue Lives Matter.'

I can't belive it's that guy. He looks too happy. Plus, no back pack full of ammo and supplies for something like this.

Well, the entire country also has pretty strict cocaine laws and that doesn't seem to stop it from entering in mass quantities. I suspect a strict nationwide gun law wouldn't be much different.
I don't know how to fix all these problems. I don't think anyone does.

probably just brought his gun to prove some kind of point. doesn't look like he was involved in anything by this video

Exactly. Just reeks of ignorance and not knowing what the fuck they are talking about. Houston is the most diverse city in the union, for instance.
This person being posted, as far as we know right now, is simply a person of interest -- as far as we know, simply because he is a black man following the laws of the state and open carrying.
You guys are basically spinning this so fast that it makes him look like a suspect.
Mind the context: he has been named a person of interest likely BECAUSE he is a black man open carrying and these shootings just happened. And everyone is just repeatedly reporting him as a suspect before there's any actual evidence.

I'm sorry, I wasn't talking about you specifically if you're from Texas.
It's probably a camera picture of the back of a nikon d7100 lcd screen.

people do this in open carry states. that in and of itself doesn't imply he's ready to dump rounds into law enforcement officers.
regardless, it's looking pretty likely he wasn't doing the shooting anyway. I think he'll be dismissed as a POI later tonight. People assumed he may have been involved because he's memorable. For all the obvious reasons.

nice find, hopefully authorities see this and talk to him ASAP
(or he'll see himself on the TV and turn himself in to get it all straightened out)
this is why I was confused because he was with the crowed when the reports were fire from elevated positions
If that is the same guy in the photos he isn't a sniper or involved.
