A man wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat and carrying an American flag and packing a pistol on his hip showed up at the scene of Santa Fe High School on Friday where a shooting left at least 10 people dead.

The man told a local NBC affiliate that his first instinct when he heard about the shooting was to “get to the school! Make America great again,” he said, adding he was “offering support.”

“Just ‘God bless you all’ will go a long way right now for a lot of people,” he said.

At least nine students and one teacher were killed when a 17-year-old male student opened fire at the the high school on Friday morning, just before 8 a.m. The suspected shooter and another person of interest are in custody. Police found explosive devices near the high school as well.

1. Psychopath/sociopath

No doubt about it.

14. :) Big doubt, imo. Ignorant as mud and

as lacking in insight as a worm in mud is my guess. Also that he'd be a far better man with good leadership, if still just as silly.

2. "offering support."

For who? The shooter?

[TomCADem]

7. Given that one of the victims was a Pakistani...

...exchange student, maybe the guy was demonstrating in support of shooter.

9. I expect

that if the shooter suddenly appeared in front of him, he would shit his pants and then would have bought the farm before he had chance to reach for his weapon.

3. Unfathomable stupidity

or total lack of self awareness. Some people have mental rigidity such that they can never be reached.

4. Welcome to Texas. We're 'aiming' to become the new Florida.

5. There's also another OP about this guy in GD.

6. Sick fuck.

Hope this guy gets his due soon.

8. Watch Fox News

and anybody can become that stupid.

There's a certain pathos to it however. Maybe he genuinely wants to contribute something good, but this is the best he can do.

10. being the evil person that I am

If I was a 17 year old student at that school and I spotted this asshole showing up after a mass shooting... I would have pointed at him and shouted "gun!! gun!!" within earshot of all of the police there.

12. Someone said to me today...

..."I bet he goes to the grocery store like that too!"

Jerk.

[Hortensis]

13. He wanted to help somehow. Yes, dumb and clueless,

and fortunate the police didn't spread him on a car for his little moment of national fame. but that's all.

Decency is good. We're not them -- unless we act like it, then no label will undo that.

15. If he had come across the gunman he probably would have shit himself.

16. Thoughts and prayers

I wonder if instead of giving thoughts and prayers.
That NRA Gun Owners would get rid of one gun. For the Each Mass Shooting in America.
To Give A Sacrifice of themselves, For Lives that are Sacrificed for ownership of guns
