I'm still pissed about the "Bad Day" comment from the Atlanta killer

Don't you think the people who were shot had a bad day?

How bout the friends and family of the victims, did they have bad days ?

This man choose to go to multiple places to kill specific type victims and did again and again.

*@#$@%$ 8 freaking people is a killing spree and makes him a homicidal maniac and you should refer to him a that and noting more



My heart goes out to the victims and their families and the people of Atlanta, not to the man having such a bad day, he could not turn himself in for the mental health evaluation he clearly needed.

Was the fact that the cop repeated that message during a press conference.

Life without parole. That will be a lot of years for a 21 year old man.

...some are more obvious than others. But given the history of law enforcement -especially in the south, it shouldn't be a surprise to us.

He wasn't being sarcastic. He was being sympathetic toward the perpetrator of a racist, sexist, mass murderer.

Long purchased the handgun he used to murder eight people earlier that same day at a Georgia gun store. Unlike other states that require a multi-day waiting period, commonly referred to as a "cooling off period," Georgia does not require a waiting period for firearm sales.

a seven day hold before you get the gun, a cooling off period if you will

Even William Rownd has hidden his FB page.

He is the proud owner of the shirt place
