The Angry White Supremacist Likely Trump Supporter Who Shot People at the Sooper King Turns Out To Be... Ahmad Al-Issa
GUNMAN HAD ISIS SYMPATHIES, ACCORDING TO WHITE HOUSE
Workplace Violence?
That sound you're hearing is the media wrenching the steering column onto a new narrative.
Suddenly there aren't any sociopolitical angles worth discussing!
Update: Daily Mail says he "lived MOST of his life" in the US.
Boulder gunman Ahmad Alissa, 21, is charged with murdering ten people at grocery store where vaccine shots were being issued: Cops reveal shooter 'lived most of his life in US' and was shot through leg in massacre
The suspect has been named as 21-year-old Ahmad Alissa of Arvada, Colorado
Ten people were shot dead by him at the King Soopers grocery store in Boulder, Colorado
The shooting happened at 3pm local time on Monday
Alissa unleashed terror on the store for around 20 minutes before being taken into custody
One of those killed was hero cop Eric Talley, a father of seven, who was the first to respond to the scene
25-year-old Rikki Olds was identified on Tuesday morning as another of the ten victims
It's unclear if the others killed were customers, staff or cops, or if they were randomly targeted
Harrowing photos and videos taken once the gunman had been arrested show bodies strewn across the store
Officials are expected to give an update at 8.30am local time (10.30am EST)
Update: The Daily Mail report says his name is actually Ahmad Al-Issa.
The gunman responsible for a mass shooting at a Colorado grocery store on Monday has been identified as 21-year-old Ahmad Al Issa.

Pete Williams on NBC said the Boulder murder suspect's relatives said he "suffered from some fairly severe mental problems -- paranoia, thought people were always chasing him."
And then they were!

And there it is:
NBC's Pete Williams said on MSNBC his federal sources have said there is no indication the shooting was an act of terror or a hate crime.
Williams said if the motive was believed to be related to terrorism,
the FBI would be the lead agency, but the Boulder Police are leading
this investigation.
Williams said the suspect's family members revealed he "suffered from fairly severe mental problems, paranoia, thought people were always chasing him." Williams said there were no known "records of encounters between him and law enforcement."
crazy lone wolf, you guys
unexpectedly!

Now that there's an ISIS jihadist shooting up a market -- a la the 2015 Charlie Hebdo slaughter -- the FBI has more important things to do.
291 Boy the Chi Tribune buried this quick. Would not even state his name in the article. God Damn every member of the media. Any other deities can Damn them too.

He hates Trump, but loves the Washington Post.
Oddly enough!
The FBI is only interested in Fake Nooses and Fake Insurrections -- non-crimes that can be used to advance their Democrat Masters' Agenda.
It's time to divide the FBI into two, putting most investigators and researchers into a real anti-crime and anti-terrorism organization.
There is no other way to get the FBI to focus on terrorism. We have to kill it.

MSNBC will look like Iranian television after the death of Soleimani. Paens to the trans martyr who struck a might blow against the great satan.
