Holiday mass shooter was a disgruntled employee. |
The 710th mass shooting in the United States. I can't keep count anymore. By far, the most deadliest year for mass shootings. President Joe Biden while in Nantucket, Massachusetts had talked to the press.
Biden is calling for a semi-automatic firearms ban. |
A survivor reportedly said that she and her coworkers had gathered in the break room to start their shift when the shooting started. Her manager (the terrorist) entered the room without saying anything and shot indiscriminately at anyone he saw. Another eyewitness account said the terrorist was laughing as he opened fire.
So that means not only a mass shooting, but workplace violence, domestic terrorism and the thing I've always said:
THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC .
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
The terrorist killed his workers. |
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."
Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.
The victims were employees of Walmart and shoppers. |
The terrorist was a resident of Chesapeake who previously lived in various other cities across the Hampton Roads metropolitan area including Suffolk, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, and also lived for a time in Queens, New York, and San Angelo, Texas. The terrorist started working with Walmart at the location in 2010. In a company statement, the terrorist was said to have worked as an overnight shift lead.
Police searched the terrorist's home near Interstate 464, located 3.5 miles (5.6 km) away from the Walmart, before his identity was disclosed and his family notified. The terrorist's motive is unknown, though an employee at the store alleged that he was planning on killing other Walmart managers. Police have not yet disclosed his reasoning.
In the past, Prioleau said, the terrorist could be “condescending when he spoke to us. He didn’t have good communication skills. He was quite mean to a lot of us.”
Shaundrayia Reese, who worked with the terrorist from 2015 to 2018, described him as a loner.
“He was always saying the government was watching him. He didn’t like social media and he kept black tape on his phone camera. Everyone always thought something was wrong with him,” Reese said.
A video Reese says she took in 2016 shows a man she identifies as the terrorist talking to people before realizing he’s being filmed and walking away.
“He didn’t like to be recorded,” Reese said. “He was always scared that the government was listening.”
Witness said the terrorist just walked in the break room without saying anything and started firing. |
Joshua Johnson, who worked as a maintenance worker at the store until 2019, also told CNN that the terrorist had previously issued ominous threats if he ever lost his job.
“He said if he ever got fired from his job he would retaliate and people would remember who he was,” Johnson said.
Neither Johnson nor Reese reported any concerns about the terrorist to management, they said.
According to Johnson, the terrorist had problems with some of the maintenance workers and would threaten to write them up if they didn’t follow his orders.
Chesapeake Police Chief Mark Solesky said there is no clear motive for the shooting known at this time.
Walmart confirmed the terrorist was an employee and said in a statement the company was “thankful for the local first responders and will continue to work with local law enforcement as they continue their investigation.”
The feds search the terrorist home. |
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.
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.
Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741).

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
