They got the wrong man. |
Correction, there was a man released from custody but under a watchful eye. According to USA Today, the Hunt County boys released their prime suspect because they have no strong evidence to prove without a shadow of a doubt the man was the shooter.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers will not heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's a worthless platitude and we need to stop saying stuff like this. This is a man-made crisis. Our American leaders, the National Rifle Association and the junk food media are numb to gun violence.
Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the 36 U.S. Representatives of Texas will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "hearts going out to" bullshit. They will say a few comfortable words and then move on to the next controversy.
Those who lost their lives will leave behind either a loved one or a child. They will talk about this shit for a few days and move on. If this was a mass shooting that affected a certain group, this will be wall-to-wall coverage. Mind you I am guessing that this was a Black event. So I can only guess the far-white will troll this blog or others trying to point out how "Black on whatever violence" is more of a threat than gun violence.
Brandon Gonzales was arrested a few days after violence erupted on October 27 at the Party Venue, a venue and event center outside of Greenville. There were people who were attending the Texas A&M-Commerce. The mass shooting killed two and left 12 people with injuries.
Gonzales appeared in court last week and was facing a hefty bid or the possibility of the DEATH card if he's convicted of capital murder, first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
Hunt County sheriff Randy Meeks was annoyed that witnesses would not identify the shooter at the time of this incident. One person managed to identify the terrorist as Gonzales.
He was caught within a few days of the mass shooting.
At the court appearance, Hunt County Sgt. Jeff Haines said that the terrorist is "100% without a doubt" the shooter.
"Law enforcement has diligently investigated this case and in the days since the arrest, additional information has come to light," said Meeks at a presser. USA Today notes that the new evidence which Meeks did not reveal, along with a lack of cooperation from witnesses frustrated him.
"Though individuals may have reasons for not wishing to come forward, we ask that they do so and tell law enforcement what you saw and heard the night no matter how small the information may be," Meeks said. "They may not know the importance of any information they have."
Gonzales was booked on $1 million "get out free."
The victims were identified. Kevin Berry, Jr. of Dallas and Byron Caven Jr. of Arlington. Both men were 23 years old. They were cut at the prime of their lives. They could have been fathers. I know they were sons.
Gonzales denied he pulled the trigger. He claimed that he attended the party as a "security guard" but was not in the building when the shooting happened. He said that he no where near the facility.
A key witness said that Gonzales was seen in line to enter the hall and participating in a dice game with a large crowd in the restroom. The witness said that seconds the terrorist exited the restroom, he opened fire on the hall.
He was arrested at his employer. He is a car salesman. Ouch.
I didn't do it. |
Jeff Hood, a local Dallas activist said the Hunt County boys are idiots.
'Ultimately this case illustrates the incompetence of law enforcement in Hunt County," Hood said on Tuesday. "The spirit of justice has arrived and Brandon Gonzales is now free."
The Texas State Rangers, Hunt County Boys, Greenville Police, Huntsville Police and the FBI will eventually bring the terrorist to justice.
Gun violence does not take a break in the United States. That is the biggest threat in the United States and we're not doing one damn thing to stop this from happening.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
We are in the midst of possibly the 300+ mass shooting in the United States. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over the impeachment inquiry and partisan blame games.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic.
It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
