I haven't been following the story. I know very little about it. @edicted is doing some interesting work on the story as it unfolds, go check his recent posts out. Links are below.
I skim MSM information about Luigi without thinking too deeply, because I know for sure that story is likely to be mostly lies.
But I do have some thoughts around the event that I would love to discuss, should anyone want to do that with me.
Here goes:
Please begin to see the patterns of the stories we are told, over and over again. A guy, much like someone you know, happens to have gone off the deep end recently, and to have access to sophisticated or unusual firearms. The guy is pissed about something many of us are pissed about, and starts shooting. He actually kills people, people much like people you know, or maybe a lot like you. This dude has managed to get firearms into heavily secure places undetected (think Las Vegas for one), long enough to take a few children or partiers, or business men, or pedestrians, out. He has a manifesto stashed somewhere easy to find, so you know exactly what he was thinking and why he did it. He planned the shooting out meticulously. But he forgot to plan his escape, and gets either dead or caught with lots of incriminating evidence. Calls for gun control flood the airwaves.
I do not care, any longer, what our MSM sources say about these events. They clearly follow a template that is designed to make us think our next-door neighbor could suddenly snap and start shooting. Possibly at you.
This is population control via fear.
I am delighted to see people paying more attention to this story. Some have noticed that the shooter’s social media accounts changed after the suspect was in custody. I have seen this happen before.
Hopefully more of us will be able to see that the news is not to be trusted on these events, and to extrapolate that the news is just as false on just about any other news they print.
Yeah yeah we are all pissed at insurance companies that don’t pay for the expensive and sadistic tests, and expensive and sadistic procedures your doctors tell you are the only way to make you better from whatever you’ve got to deal with health-wise. Greedy bastards won’t use your neighbor’s money, which he pays to his insurance company in the form of premiums, for medical care that will bankrupt you, if it doesn’t kill you first. Actually, often your "care" manages to do both, so that your heirs get nothing after going through your horrible and untimely death.
We are blaming the wrong entity.
Instead of being pissed that someone else's insurance "premiums" are not paying your medical costs, why not be pissed that those costs are so high in the first place? That the steroids your doctor has prescribed for your IBS has destroyed your bones so that you need regular expensive irradiating bone scans to see if your bones are getting even weaker? Why not be pissed that the doctor doesn’t have a less expensive and sadistic treatment for your arthritis, other than surgery? Why are you not pissed that the new thyroid condition began after you started taking statins to reduce a slightly high cholesterol level? Why are you not pissed that you had to have a costly and sadistic colonoscopy after you’d taken too many NSAIDS, on the advice of your doctor? That the whipple your doctors told you you needed ASAP, the surgery that rendered you a cripple for life, both emotionally and physically, the whipple that cost you tens of thousands of dollars despite your having really “good” insurance, turned out to have been the wrong surgery (oopsies!), and that now you need another expensive, sadistic and dangerous turn under the knife?
Why are we not pissed that most of us will be told we need pharmaceuticals for this or that condition for the rest of our lives?
Why are we not pissed that our medical model doesn't even try to cure us - they tell us that can't even be done - but rather is making us sicker, not well?
We are demanding our right to have these absurd costs, for harmful treatments, be paid for.
Diseases like ours do not exist in nature.
We must start demanding our right to be healthy.
Conclusion
We are being distracted by this event.

What with wars, weather events, assassinations and now bird flu in horses, it's entertainment central. Small wonder nobody has any time to be pissed.
Exactly. Few of us have the time to connect any dots. We are all busy doing paperwork and going to medical appointments.
Bingo!
I wondered the same thing. All that planning, and he leaves a bottle with his dna on it and a burner phone behind (meticulous vs sloppy). AND he goes out for a hash brown sporting a set of the most distinctive EYEBROWS in the world knowing that law enforcement nationwide is looking for him.
To your point about guns in your community in upstate NY... I live in a high-crime area where it can take the police HOURS to respond (I kid you not), due to the overwhelming number of police calls daily.
When I lived in Europe, I was regularlly accosted by Europeans who admonished me for Americas "gun culture." They don't understand that here, you have to keep yourself alive until the police arrive.
But yeah, this whole thing screams of "look over there, not over here." Luckily not all of us are willing to drink the Kool-Aid when it comes to the Medical Industrial Complex (MIC).
He also was caught with a gun that is nothing like the one used in that video. That was no glock, as far as I can tell.
I don't know what you are saying about guns here. Do you think you would be safer if you had one legally? Or do you think even more gun control (It is very strict in NYS already) would take guns out of the hands of criminals?
I still think it likely that the shooting was one cartel warning elements of another cartel to shape up. This story is much too contrived and, as always, too simple.
I'm a huge supporter of the right to bear arms. Due to the out-of-control crime here, it takes the police a long time to respond, so you need to be able to hold intruders off until they arrive. If it were up to me, at age 21, everyone of sound mind would be REQUIRED to own a gun and have it on his person when out and about (concealed carry would be nationwide).
If you couldn't afford one, a voucher would be issued to you to buy one.
We live between NYC and Philly, and lemme tell ya, it's bad in this region. We hear gunshots at night all the time, which is why I never go out at night. If you're not packing, you're dead meat.
Oh my! I could not live there. I love living here though. Rednecks galore, and they could not be nicer more upstanding people. Most of them anyway. We have lots of drugs though, mostly because these small towns think taking money from government is the cat's meow, so we have halfway houses up the wazoo for druggies just out of rehab. Addicts all over the place, meth labs here and there. Cops don't do a thing about those, I don't know why.
I've been learning to shoot, which is a lot of fun and I am so glad I know more now, but so far I have not bought a gun.
Thanks for the clarification.
The last thing I heard about the case is that his gun was a 3-D printed "ghost gun", but I have no way of knowing if that's true or not. They make shit up as they go along to try to fit the narrative they're trying to foist on us. We may never know the real truth.
I'd say we hardly ever know the real truth in these events. They do make shit up.
I don't know much about guns, but the gun used in the video did not look like a semi-automatic pistol, such as a glock. I'd love to hear from someone who knows guns on this.
it's the mafia
:frank
I am not very informed about the particular case; only what has appeared in the news. But I find the reflections you raise about medicine in general very timely and necessary, although I would first raise the need to control the use of firearms (for me, it should be banned). Greetings, @owasco.
@commentrewarder
Thank you for your comment.
I live in a hillbilly town in upstate New York, USA, where the per capita gun ownership is eight. Firearms are very strictly regulated in NYS. Folks here are nearly all armed, and many of us have a great many weapons. We have all taken rigorus training from NRA instructors, as required by NYS law in order to legally own many types of guns, and these classes are very very very heavy on safety measures. There is virtually no crime here, other than shoplifting and DWI. I have never heard of an accidental shooting around here.
Guns are not a problem here, even though there are a great many of them. Removing them is likely to make us less safe, especially from tyrannical governments. This is my chief fear at the moment, here in the USA. And my chief fear for the entire world. The medical industry is a huge component of this particular fear of mine. We live under medical fascism right now.

I've only paid a little attention but it seems to me that this has caused more attention to be paid to problems in healthcare than to gun control. i mean there are like half a billion people in this country. Some of them are bad people (for whatever reason). Some of them will do bad things with guns on occasion. You don't really need an elaborate conspiracy to make that happen. I'm more likely to believe it's a conspiracy to get medicare for all passed. Even then, you would accomplish more with a good ad campaign.
Who is trying to get medicare for all, which I wholeheartedly disapprove of. I do not want my tax dollars to be used to poison my fellow Americans. Or to fund terrorists to topple governments, such as it is being used right now in Syria. This is today's biggest story if you ask me.
People are definitely controlled by fear that the television puts into their heads.
Recently I invited a lady over for dinner, and she politely declined saying "I prefer a man takes me out to dinner on the first date because I'm worried that a man might try to poison me in his home." Despite being recommended by a mutual friend who she said she trusts and that person has ate my home cooked meals too. It amounted to an embarrassment for everyone involved in the match making.
I know this is a bit off the topic here, but it caught my attention when you mentioned the fear control factor, it hits close to home when people are constantly afraid that strangers are going to try to kill them.
Can't the sun just give us an EMP already? That'll take care of the problem I am very sure.
There you are! How are things going?
She actually said that? She's a good example, then, of the kind of person who has been made afraid of nearly everyone else. I'd stay in public if I had no idea who the guy was though.
I actually think these events are intended to make us think that even people we know are potentially murderous. If someone is a bit off, we will avoid them and perhaps even turn them in via red flag laws. We are being turned against each other, by ridiculous means, not the least of which is political.
How you been?
Hey! Things have been going pretty good! I've just been busy trying to keep up with the home life lately :) How are things going with you?
Yes she actually said that, and I agree if it is complete strangers it's best to meet in a public place. In this case we met at a mutual friends house and we got to know each other a little and she was expressive that she liked me, so it came as a bit of a shocker to hear that.
Although I agree about the public places thing, when it comes to meeting people online these days we have tools now like facetime video chats and can spend quite a bit of time chatting on a video before ever meeting, which is a pretty good format to get to know someone because you're both in the comfort and safety of your home. I've had a pretty high level of success with getting women to come over for dinner, but then again all of those successful dating experiences turned out to be failures in the end so maybe I should try it a different way.. lol
Our brains are not hardwired to be operational on a global social network, because we instinctively only engage with a couple hundred people maximum for a lifetime if we are to be in our natural setting.
This is important to consider, because our brains cannot really compute millions of other people in a way that is logical, we tend to macro focus down to the natural constructs of how our brain operates for large numbers.
In our natural element, a murderer on the loose equates to the small tribe of people being in danger, but twenty miles away could be another tribe and all is well with no threat level present at all.
In this unnatural global social system we equate the danger to being a neighbor, a coworker, a relative, etc.. when the danger is not realistic and not present.
It's a way to create mass psychosis and delusion, and it's very effective unfortunately.
