Let me be the first to call it

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by NH Ethylene (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

That open carry guy they're looking for had nothing to do with this. He's walking around with a smile on his face? He was not involved.

White guys with guns parade around with guns all over the place. Apparently a law abiding black man does not share that privilege.

Gentleman turned himself in. Lucky he was not shot like the legal gun owner up north was yesterday.

I am a middle aged and middle class white male and this has me more angry than anything in recent years. The gun issue demonstrates white privelage more than any other issue today.

I hope you are able to have a nice evening. Too late form me.

If you're there to kill people in a well coordinated operation you don't run the risk of disrupting that by brazenly walking around with a rifle.
